Chris is one half of the iconic Sydney electronic music duo, Bag Raiders. He joins us from his studio in LA for a chat about why you need to get out of your own way, the early days of the DIY club scene in Kings Cross, being built for lockdowns, writing music for his time in the sauna, road testing songs on tour, listening to your scene partner and resisting social media.
