Southern teen producers rarely aspire to become electronic stars; however, a New Orleans native seems poised to do so, with his own special brand of pop sensibility. Christoph Andersson turned 19 a little over a month ago, but the DJ and producer already has managed to start his own record label, share stage space with the likes of Hot Chip and Crookers at Voodoo Festival, grown his monthly TKVR parties to 500-plus ragers in a little over year, and release a set of tracks and EPs over the course of the new year. A skilled architect of consistently catchy, beat-driven melodies, Andersson’s talent will no doubt continue to keep him in attendance at parties where he will not be able to legally drink for some time to come, but his status as an outsider is perhaps his greatest weapon. Alien to the music scene at large, oblivious to most of what makes New Orleans music famous and entirely wise beyond his years, it’s safe to say the gracious young man is one to watch.
