CRISTIAN COMES
Cristian Comes, born in 1990, hails from San Severo, Puglia. His connection with music began in early childhood when, at the age of 8, he started recording dance and trance hits from the radio onto cassette tapes. This initial encounter with music sparked his passion for the electronic world, leading him to explore music production later on, a passion he never abandoned. Under the alias Hathor Libra, he released his first tracks with Smiley Fingers Records, which allowed him to reach 10th place in the "General Top 10 Release" category on Beatport with the Archetypum EP. He caught the attention of other international labels such as XTR Records, with which he released two EPs. Settling in Milan, he earned a respectable reputation in the local scene through his magnetic sets, characterized by Electro, Deep Tech, and Groovy Techno with hypnotic vibes, soft drums, and enigmatic melodies. It was in Milan where he experimented with his first hybrid sets using Roland setups, expressing himself through live performances on various occasions. His style is inspired by the electronic wave of the '80s/'90s and evolves into an incessant search for clean, deep, and "alien-like" sound patterns that, upon listening, transport listeners to an imaginary place easily recognizable by his signature sound. Apart from being a passionate DJ and producer, he is also a member and co-founder of the Gestalt movement and the NO.ID collective, collaborating with entities such as Milano Pride and clubs like Santeria, Apophis, Club 44 (Ex Dude), RAL Society, Stanza Club, and others. In Puglia, he is active as a guest of the Only For Clubbers collective, participating in events organized both in Capitanata and Gargano.
