Christopher Kah Artist Bio

Christopher Kah was born in 1980 in Alsace, east of France. He started learning the organ at the age of 10, and kept it up until he was 20.
At 15, he came across electronic music when he was introduced to industrial hardcore by Laurent Ho, Liz n Eliaz, Micropoint and various other hardcore compilations of that period (Trash Hardcore, Hardcore III, and so on). At the same time, he was attracted by trance music and artists such as Total eclipse, Torgull and Drax.

When he was 17 he joined an electronic association where he started mixing Detroit. He loved the dark and simplistic side of this style. His inspirations came from people like Kenny Larkin, Sean Deason, Colin Dale and Carl Craig. This is what brought him closer to others like Laurent Garnier or Johannes Heil to name just two. At the same time, it was a pretty rich period with quite a number of gigs organised in the Colmar area. This is when he created the association « Les Gaulois » with a few friends, an organisation that will allow the team to develop an electro concept through the organisation of different events in their region.

In 2001, he started creating electronic music, simply with a DW8000, his very first machine, and his computer.
In 2003 his first MCD ‘OPUS I’ came out, with the Gaulois artist Franck Wolf.
End 2004, Christopher Kah appears on the double CD album “AXC-Labs” (Axesscode) for a track with Communication 0.

Spring 2005, release of Christopher Kah’s first EP called “Natural Born Killer” on Terence Fixmer’s label Planete Rouge, followed by the release of his first CD album ‘A Wonderful Darkworld’ on the French label Axesscode.
June 2005, an EP with Dave Clarke came out, with Christopher Kah’s remix of “Come Inside”, a track from ‘Between The Devil…’ first album of Terence Fixmer & Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb)

In 2007, Christopher Kah signs his first track on Anthony Rother’s label ‘DATAPUNK’ and he also appears on several compilations on the side of The Hacker, Terence Fixmer, Millimetric, … (Electro Manifesto I & II)
