Midnight In A Perfect World: Chrissy

Chicago DJ and electronic producer Chrissy (real name Christopher Shively) has been a prolific provider of exciting underground electronic rhythms over the last 10 years. Beginning with his debut EP in 2005 under the Chrissy Murderbot alias, his steady evolution in sound has witnessed multiple new monikers (Chris E Pants, currently just Chrissy) and amassed a stacked catalog of releases on labels such as Planet Mu, Hypercolour, Hyperboloid, as well as his own imprint, The Nite Owl Diner. His latest release finds him teaming up with Chicago vocalist Hawley Shoffner for a collaborative album of 80's-steeped dance-pop with heavy nods to disco, electro, New Wave, and freestyle styles. These high-energy styles are on full display throughout his seamless guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, as he pieces together underground gems both new and old, alongside a few of his own top-notch tracks and remixes.

Midnight in a Perfect World, KEXP's weekly hour-long guest DJ show, airs Fridays at midnight. This multi-genre program features eclectic sets by a rotating cast of international and local DJ’s, each building upon a party vibe to kick off your weekend. Midnight in a perfect world is made possible with support from New Belgium Brewing.
