Visionary electronic artist Chris Avantgarde today announces his forthcoming debut album Hyperreal, slated to arrive in 2026 via his newly launched label imprint of the same name in partnership with boom. records. Marking a pivotal chapter in Chris’ career, the first single ‘Energy’ is out now.
Following a landmark summer that has seen collaborations with heavyweights Anyma and Adam Beyer, B2B sets with Enrico Sanguiliano and Kevin de Vries, and performances at festivals like Ultra, EDC, and Tomorrowland, ‘Energy’ opens the door to the sonic world of Hyperreal. The album will spotlight Chris’ precision-engineered sound, melding a modern command of club dynamics with sharp, unexpected detail. As he steps out from behind the curtain and into his role as label head, Chris is poised to cement his status as one of dance music’s most forward-thinking and distinctive voices.
“Hyperreal marks the launch of my new label and debut album, combining all my influences and music I play live into one coherent project. It’s an ode to versatility and freedom, unconstrained by genre limitations yet still a consecutive sounding project with my signature on every piece of output.” – Chris Avantgarde
Already receiving widespread support from Tiesto, Oliver Heldens, Alesso, Adriatique, Pete Tong, Massano, and more, ‘Energy’ is one of the hottest IDs of the season. Instantly addictive, the six-minute heater builds with hypnotic synthwork, sawing basslines, and rolling percussion that combine for a propulsive and powerful ride. Its mechanical topline offers a charged glimpse into Hyperreal, while showcasing an undeniable peak-time appeal that distinguishes Chris as a dancefloor savant.
