A renegade operator in underground electronic music, Christa Belle has spent a decade moving between major European clubs, North American underground lineups, and studio sessions with some of the most forward-thinking artists releasing today. For seven years she was a key force at Ableton, shaping how influential producers actually work, all while performing relentlessly and absorbing the texture of scenes across two continents.
Her Crates playlist is called The Canadian Touch. A Vancouver-born collector turning her gaze homeward - spotlighting the underground electronic music emerging from Canadian labels and artists over the past two years. Coast to coast, city to city.
This is CANCON. Christa Belle's version of it.

"After nearly a decade in Berlin, coming home to Canada this year has been such a joy. Growing up in Vancouver, the west coast always felt a little cut off. Flights were expensive, I didn't know anyone outside my city, and culture seemed to reach us on a delay. I'm not sure if it's me that's changed or the country itself, but my relationship to this place feels completely different now. The range of creative voices, the connections the internet has made possible across such a huge country, the DJs and producers doing such exciting work today... it's easy to celebrate. Canada is fun! I hope you enjoy the music. "
