Chris 73

Cristiane Paes aka Chris 73 has carved out a distinct presence in the Australian techno scene. Blending philosophy, self-awareness, and powerful sound design, she has built an artistic identity that goes beyond the dancefloor. When behind the decks, she is recognized by her strong stage presence. She is appearing on Sydney’s and Perth’s main stages, and she has shared the DJ booth with internationally recognised names such as Space 92 and Mha Iri. Chris 73 has been shaping a catalogue that merges intensity, message, and growing recognition. Her strongest charting release so far, “Open Your Mind,” reached five Beatport chart categories, while the others also gained chart traction and support from big artists. Chris’ music is influenced by Detroit Techno, a place she visited in 2024 to learn about the techno roots and its history. Her tracks are minimal, hypnotic, and driving in style. As an artist, her main goal is to create music with a higher purpose—sharing a message through sound. Ultimately, Chris hopes to humbly inspire people to reflect and make positive changes in their lives. “Contrast births awareness, and awareness is the key to transformation.” - Chris 73
