BIO

Chris Lawlor has been around the DJ scene since 1994 and with a career spanning four decades he’s showing no signs of taking it easy!

He got his first taste of house music while at a friends house at the age of 13. After a long love of 80s electronic music it was always going to be the natural progression. A set of decks were bought and he was hooked!

He earned his stripes as a ‘warm-up’ DJ in his hometown of Halifax, then his first ‘solo’ residency followed after about 18 months, playing the big vocal, big piano led tunes that are now widely regarded as anthems, often breaking and always supporting new music in the town.

Since then Chris has played and held residencies in what seems to be every major town and city in England as well as playing in Europe, always bringing that energetic style of his to everyone and anyone who dared to listen playing everything from disco/soulful house to Trance!

In 2010 chance meeting in a club in Barnsley with house music legend Tony Walker, Chris became a member of long-standing UK house brand Love To Be… DJ team. This seemed to give his career even more momentum, going on to play for local brands such as Funkydory and Glasshouse and major UK and world renowned brands such as Kissdafunk, Cream Tours and Gatecrasher Tours, supporting the likes of Tony Walker, Graeme Park, Graham Gold, Lisa Lashes, Rob Tissera, K Klass, Joel Corry, Anton Powers, Liam Keegan, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Marshall Jefferson, Trophy Twins, Micky Slim, Dave Pearce, Agnelli & Nelson to name but a few!

Productions also came hand in hand with this boost in profile. Chris produced under the alias A La Mode in 2014, his debut release 'Sunshine' was signed to Jango Music. In 2015 under the name Admix, 'Strange Sensation' was released, again on Jango Music. In the same year, ‘In My House’ was released under the Admix alias on Yoo’nek Records and a remix of the classic Freemasons track ‘Rain Down Love’ was also hit with an Admix remix!

In 2020 under his own name, Chris remixed the 1997 club classic by Love Tribe ‘Stand Up’. 

In 2022 a bootleg from Chris and London-based producer duo The Luvable Rogues hit the inbox of many DJs and got excellent feedback.

Now we've hit 2026 Chris will be back in the studio with 2 more completely original tracks, both written solely by himself and there’s definitely a lot more to come from him on the production front!

Almost going full circle, in the last decade he has rekindled his first love of the big vocal, funky, disco and piano led house music that his reputation was built on and you can catch him in a town or city near you soon!!

Over the last decade Chris has had radio shows and guest mixes on radio stations such as Summertime Radio, Gorgeous Radio, Influx Radio, Smash FM, People’s City Radio, Ibiza Radio 1 and a current residency on Disco House Nation Radio.... now you can hear him here on Ibiza Stardust Radio too!
