Chris Cargo has been at the forefront of electronic music in Ireland for nearly 15 years.

Described as 'perfect sex machine body music' by DJ Magazine and simply 'inspired' by M8 magazine. Chris manages to complement various styles into his djing sets, a journey if you like!
From triumphant sets @ Lush! In Portrush, to wowing the crowds at SOS in Hang Zhou, Q-Club-Zurich, Earth-Amsterdam to countless gigs in his native UK... Chris's thought of not sticking to one genre has proved dividend. As he explains "I couldn't stick to one genre" Chris says "it would just be boring plus a lot of djs get stuck playing the same sound over and over and before you know it you've been left behind so its important to take risks with your music"
Regular tours for the likes of Smirnoff, Tennents, Kent Tobacco, China Loop and Renaissance have seen Chris ply his wares on several large scale tours around China, USA and South America.
Chris's fan base is equally as big worldwide as it is in his native Northern Ireland one look at his list of gigs merely confirms this. From Kuala Lumpur to Kazakstan via Mexico, Siberia, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Vilnius, Hamburg, Athens in fact it would be easier to say were he hasn't been.
Chris's productions and remixes perfectly compliment his Djing style with almost 40 to his name.
Weather it is under his breaks guise of Carganoid and re-editing the likes of Green Velvet or releasing chunky Progressive on Renaissance Chris is equally at home.
On top of this Chris's has released and remixed tracks for the likes of Rozalla, Renaissance, Futureshock (label), Tony Thomas, Solar Recordings and Choo Choo.
There have been many high's in Chris's career some of those include producing alongside the likes of Barry Gilbey and D.Ramirez, DJing to 10,000 people at Creamfields, having countless plays on BBC Radio One, Witnessing John Digweed drop his remix of Sabres of Paradise-Smokebelch at midnight on New Years Eve and regularly obtaining tune of the month awards in both Mixmag and DJ Mag respectfully.

Further confirming Chris's mass appeal numerous compilation appearances for the likes of Renaissance, Intec, Seb Fontaine,Danny Howells, Valentino Kanzyani, Anthony Pappa, Slinky,Privledge-Ibiza, Global Underground and many more have further confirmed Chris's wide appeal and quality output making it easy to see why Chris is as well known in Eastern Europe as he is in his native Belfast.
Adding another string to his bow is promoting and over the years Chris has been behind several of Belfast's underground club nights including the mighty Sleuth which ran for five years, Imprint and of course more recently and now in its third year "Rise".
Bringing you right up to date and Chris's remix of Cowgirl by Underworld has gained massive radio one plays and huge support from the likes of David Guetta (who dropped it at Creamfields), Tom novy who ended most Sunday's at Space with it (check the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2zDB_AN8JU), Annie Nightingale who championed it on BBC Radio One, Steve Lawler, Desyn Massiello, Danny Howells and many many more.
