In Focus brings you a talented upcoming artist that has earned a spot on our radar. We’re scoping out these rising stars from every city, style, and scene.

IN FOCUS: Chris B Percussion

WHO IS CHRIS B PERCUSSION?: Chris Budd

HAILING FROM: Birmingham, Britain

DIG IT IF YOU LIKE?: Eric Prydz, Michael Woods, Mark Knight

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?: Chris B has kept a low profile so far, but not for long. Since he’s been signed to both Toolroom and Cr2 Records, played gigs at high-brow venues like London’s Ministry of Sound and Space Ibiza, and is working on a side project with Janine Small called X&Y, Chris B Percussion has been receiving some well-deserved attention.

Self-blazoned as a “producer, percussionist, remixer, songwriter, and engineer,” Chris B has enough skills to last him a while, so we’re pretty sure you’ll be hearing from him this year. Hopefully seeing him, too – that face is a sight for sore eyes!

UPCOMING: Chris B just released his new track “Supernova” on Ministry of Sound TV today!
