With a rapidly growing catalog of releases, Chris Demetras, known as “Art of Hot”, is quickly moving onto the radar of electronic music fans worldwide. A dedicated musician, DJ, and producer with 20 years experience, Chris’ Art of Hot originals and remixes have been featured on nearly 170 releases and over 30 labels, and Art of Hot singles are regularly found in the crates of notable artists such as Angel Alanis, Carl Cox, and Jon Rundell. An active participant in the early 90s West Coast electronic music scene, Chris found inspiration in the bins of legendary San Francisco record store BPM, discovering tracks from distant places like the UK and New York.
