Chris Flannigan

Deeply rooted in the loop–driven sound of the golden era, Chris Flannigan operates at the forefront of contemporary techno. Through an extensive self–released catalogue, the Belfast native has carved out a formidable presence within the underground scene. He debuted his first 12” EP on the Manchester–based Hardline Sounds’ imprint Drum Workouts. His productions have travelled far beyond the studio, receiving consistent backing from major artists and finding their way into some of the world’s most iconic spaces, including Berlin’s Berghain. Wider recognition has followed via features on platforms such as BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Rinse FM. Over the last few years, Chris has performed in major cities such as New York, Berlin, and London, before more recently expanding his international presence further into Europe, taking command of the controls in Portugal and Croatia. With each new city, comes a deeper environmental sensibility and heightened crowd connection that leaves a residue on his sets and studio work. In 2025, this journey came full circle with a defining set at a sold–out AVA Festival in Belfast, sealing a project that is globally informed but driven firmly by underground principles.
