Chris Cruse
also plays Berlin — 5 nights
Founder of queer LA party-cum-record label Spotlight. Club Toilet crew in Detroit. Based in Berlin.
You know it when you hear him play: a chugging, infectious groove, equally at home in dark warehouses and out in the sunshine.
Chris is a resident at Berlin's Power Dance Club, and a regular at Panorama Bar, Basement, and Block9 at Glastonbury. He brings the spirit of the warehouse party he threw for a decade in Los Angeles - Spotlight - celebrating and reclaiming queer roots of house, techno, and underground dance music.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- BASEMENTSep 2023 – Sep 20265 nights
- QnccMay 2026 – Jul 20262 nights
- SignalMay 2025 – Jun 20262 nights

Once each: public records, BK Backyard and Paragon. Seven of the 21 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.

Every one of these resolves on Discogs; the ones that do not are not printed. What Discogs files them under is not printed either — its label column carries mix series as if they were imprints.
The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. The records are Discogs'. Nothing on this page was written for it.
