His remix work has turned heads, with contributions for Cirez D, CamelPhat, and Calvin Harris among others, showcasing his versatility across styles.

Cristoph’s original productions, including “Breathe” with CamelPhat featuring Jem Cooke, achieved worldwide recognition, topping charts and dominating dancefloors, and his debut EP on Pryda Presents solidified his reputation as a leading figure in melodic house and techno. On stage, Cristoph is known for his immersive and seamless DJ sets, which have graced iconic venues and festivals including Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Fabric London, and Resistance Ibiza. His ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level has earned him a devoted following, and he continues to push the boundaries of his sound, blending introspective melodies with powerful club energy.

With a commitment to musical authenticity and a relentless drive to evolve, Cristoph stands as one of the defining artists of his generation, shaping the future of dance music while staying true to his roots.
