"What dance music has become is one guy with a white light on him and everyone else in the dark, which is precisely how it wasn't meant to be."

- Tony Wilson, founder, Factory Records and the legendary Hacienda nightclub.

Despite the relentless persistence of the worldwide 'superstar DJ' phenomenon, there are still soldiers in the DJ ranks determined to keep the light of which the late Tony Wilson spoke focused not on them, but squarely on the civilians on the dance floor. Los Angeles' own Kent Christian has been in the trenches, entertaining crowds at clubs such as Vanguard and Avalon while producing his own unique brand of dance music. His first single, entitled 'Confession' was released worldwide on Bro.kn Records in summer of 2008 to high acclaim.

Kent's sound is a soulful blend of tech house and techno, the connective thread being the elusive element of groove. Recognizing that his work as a DJ is merely one element in the world of clubs and dance music, Kent duly pays respect to those who he feels deserve it most: "A DJ is only as good as the producers who supply him with his music, and there wouldn't be a party without the loyal people who come out every week to show support - they are the true heroes of this movement."

Seven years of experience in the ultra-competitive L.A. market are rife with milestones and noteworthy performances alongside John Digweed, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Gabriel & Dresden, Hernan Cattaneo, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, and many more. As a co-founder of Twilight Productions he has helped countless up-and-coming DJs earn their stripes at venues throughout the city, and he recently placed second overall in a citywide DJ competition sponsored by LA Weekly.

You may not recognize him on sight, but you will definitely hear him. A self-taught audio engineer and a lifelong musician, twenty-nine year-old Kent Christian is primed to create the sounds of tomorrow. With brand-new, original productions set to be released throughout 2008, Kent Christian is at the forefront of the movement, pushing and playing nothing but 'great music.'

"Electronic music will always be fresh because technology is ever-changing and that's what I find so appealing."
