Description
One of the original architects of the Boiler Room, which has grown to become the world’s most respected and popular underground music show, Thris Tian has built a reputation as a passionate and exciting DJ and and demonstrated his natural talent as a music selector. As the Lead Programmer / A&R for Boiler Room, he’s responsible for the dynamic and eclectic line-ups that have become synonymous with Boiler Room sessions from around the world.
A musical apprenticeship with Gilles Peterson at his record label Brownswood Recordings provided a solid foundation and saw Thris Tian naturally graduate to researching for Gilles’ radio shows and gigs, as well as A&Ring for the label. The most important lesson imparted by Peterson was the confidence to develop as a DJ on “instinct” and to embrace the broader spectrum of music from scenes around the world.
