Sunnyside Sessions: Cristoph

On June 6, 2026, Sunnyside Sessions welcomes UK DJ and producer Cristoph to Sunnyside Pavilion in Toronto. Raised in Newcastle and first schooled on vinyl, he forged a progressive sound built on patient builds, crisp basslines and a clean sense of tension. In the studio, his music moves between melodic house, progressive house and atmospheric techno, drawing equally from Chicago’s roots and the UK club tradition.

Cristoph’s breakthrough came with Alone on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound before Eric Prydz brought him into the Pryda Presents orbit. He went on to collaborate with CamelPhat on Breathe and reunited with Jem Cooke on Slowly Burning, releases that anchored a steady run of EPs and singles and placed him on major club and festival stages.

For this date at Sunnyside Pavilion, expect a DJ set that slides from deep, rolling grooves to melodic peaks, layering pads and arpeggios over tight percussion. Long blends, evolving motifs and a dancefloor-first approach shape a journey that keeps momentum without rushing the payoff.
