CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE LAUNCHES NEW DJ SIDE PROJECT  - MR & MRS SMITH!

Famous for his tough trance sound, Christopher Lawrence joins forces with his wife Sara for a new DJ side project 'Mr & Mrs Smith'.

The pair, who have worked together behind the scenes for fifteen years are bringing their joint efforts into the public eye with this new DJ duo, which debuts at this years Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.

Christopher laughs "I've been noticing there's a lot of DJs working in pairs lately. I've often thought it would be nice to have a wingman up there, although in this case, it's actually a wingwoman. I don't know of any other mixed sex DJ duos, let alone any husband and wife teams, so I think we're definitely breaking some new ground here".

Christopher continues "Mr & Mrs Smith' is an opportunity for me to play music that I couldn't normally incorporate into my main room trance sets. There is a right place and a right time for any type of music and the sound we've been working on is perfect for afterhours, industry events like WMC, or side stages at festivals, away from the chaos of the main stage, where true music lovers can get their groove on. This is a sound which is influenced by the many hours we've spent partying at afterhours and in backrooms over the years."

"I should say to anyone expecting to hear trance from Mr & Mrs Smith that they should stay home" he laughs.

So what exactly is this style of music? Sara says "There are three criteria. The tracks need to be tough and sexy, with a groove. Electro House, Progressive, Techno - we don't care what the genre is".

"Mrs Smith" (AKA Sara Finlayson) has a career in dance music spanning decades. A regular at Melbourne's gay clubs in the eighties ("the only places you could hear good dance music in Australia"), she worked in the nightclub industry, before moving to London in the early nineties, where she worked in Tower Records dance department. She was active in the early London rave scene of 1990-1992, before moving to Los Angeles, where she met "Mr Smith" (AKA Christopher Lawrence, a struggling bedroom DJ) and they were married shortly after. Continuing her career in dance music, Sara worked for several years for German techno star Sven Vath at the LA office of his labels Eye Q Music / Harthouse before becoming the Los Angeles editor of respected US electronic music mag XLR8R. During this time, Sara also produced music with Moonshine Music producer Dave Aude under the moniker Mile High. It was also in the late nineties that Sara formed Monster Media, a PR and management company specializing in dance music, under which she managed the careers of artists including husband Christopher Lawrence, a position she continues to this day. A familiar face backstage in the dance music industry, Sara brings her tough attitude out of the shadows and into the DJ booth with 'Mr + Mrs Smith'.

"Mr Smith" (AKA Christopher Lawrence) needs no introduction. One of the World's leading dance music talents, Christopher has received numerous awards and accolades. Winner of "America's Best DJ" (DJ Times 2008), “Best American DJ” at the IDMA’s, Christopher is also a recent recipient of the "Best DJ" at both the Dancestar US Awards and Los Angeles Music Awards. He has additionally been nominated in Dancestar UK Awards, DJ Awards, International Trance Awards, Global DJ Mix Awards and IDMA’s to name a few. Christopher has also graced the covers of countless magazines, newspapers and publications worldwide, as well as headlining the worlds biggest superclubs and festivals.

Mr & Mrs Smith debut set at Burning Man:
Morpheus Tent at Root Society - 11pm on Thurs Sept 3rd

With over thirteen years behind the turntables, Micro's versatility and ability to whip dance floors into a frenzy with his smooth mixes and superb sense of groove has made him a dance music sensation.

As a natural progression from his success as a DJ, Micro joined with Vicious Vic under the pseudonym 'Progression' to produce a series of hugely successful remixes and original works inc. their massive debut single 'Reach Further' and remixes for artists from Paradise 3001 and Joe T. Vanelli to Masters at Work, as well as a wickedly groovy remix of the Dado's 'X Files' theme. Micro has also produced hits for some of the world's most respected labels including the UK's Open label formed by the Ministry of Sound, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous/Sorted, Adrenalin, and Black Sunshine.

Micro also formed New York underground label Caffeine Records which quickly gained international attention with its top shelf selection of the freshest sounds from US and European artists. For more information on Micro, visit him at http://www.myspace.com/djmicro
