Chris Grayston initially started off as a music promoter throughout the nineties, organising tours and events across the UK and working with established acts such as, Darren Styles, Carl Cox, SL2, Andy C, Radio 1’s DJ’s Judge Jules, Spoony, Fabio and Grooverider. This culminated in the late nineties with Chris masterminding a packed Wembley for 12,000 people across three arenas, quoted as “never before have a collection of DJ’s to this calibre been under one roof.”- Mixmag. During this period, Chris was approached by one of the acts to release their tracks and this instigated the creation of his own record label Hectic Records. This evolved over a short period into four labels and consequently became one of the biggest dance labels in the country; boasting in excess of 100 single releases, over a million sales across the record label group, as well as releasing over ten compilations and albums until finally being taken over in a buyout in later years.
