CRi
Genre: Progressive House
Origin: Canada
CRi quickly made his mark on the Montreal electronic scene by offering a singular sound influenced by house synths, syncopated snares, and futuristic basslines. A self-taught college dropout, CRi caught the attention of tastemakers through his first two EPs; ‘Tell Her’ and ‘Someone Else’ released on TOKiMONSTA’s label, Young Art. Christophe Dubé’s real breakthrough happened in 2018 with a Juno nomination for the EP ‘Someone Else’ which was swiftly followed with the release of his mini EP ‘Me and My Friends’ as well as his collaboration with Charlotte Cardin, ‘Fous n’importe où’, which revisits Daniel Bélanger’s timeless classic.
Having debuted on Anjunadeep in 2019 he quickly caught the ear of BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Annie Mac with ‘Initial’, which was also championed on KCRW by Jason Bentley. CRi’s rise through Montreal’s bubbling scene in recent years now culminates in his debut album ‘Juvenile’.
