Phree Direxion

4 listings in 4 named rooms, over the last three years

With music arranged, mixed and mastered painstakingly by hand in a world where AI does everything, Phree Direxion’s sound lives between memory and motion. Based in New York City, producer and selector Christopher Irons creates emotional, melodic house inspired by labels like All Day I Dream and Anjunadeep and shaped by nights in Mykonos, Ibiza, Paris, Montreal, and New York City.

Irons' journey into electronic music began in the ’90s with the soundtrack to the film Hackers, a gateway to electronic music legends like Orbital, Leftfield, Underworld, and Carl Cox. The path to production and mixing became clearer in 2024, inspired by live performances by artists like Lee Burridge, Sébastien Léger, and Tim Green.

100% self-taught and proudly hands-on, Irons began pursuing DJing and production seriously in 2025. Once a regular presence at the Lower East Side’s former Gugu Room alongside collaborator and New York City underground artist Tim Dauz, he continues to refine his sound the same way he builds it—one decision at a time, with the dance floor, beach club or rooftop lounge as the final test.

Who they play with
