Philosophy

If we were all guided by philosophy and the will to improve our virtues, the world would be a much better place for everyone. It is on each of us to do our bit.

Contrast births awareness, and awareness is the key to transformation.
Chris 73

Cristiane Paes, known as Chris 73, has carved out a distinct presence in the Australian techno scene. She blends philosophy, self-awareness and powerful sound design into an identity that goes beyond the dancefloor.

Her tracks are minimal, hypnotic and driving, shaped by Detroit techno, the place she travelled to in 2024 to learn the roots and the history. Behind the decks she is known for a strong stage presence. Her goal is simple: music with a higher purpose, a message shared through sound.
