Chris Alker, aka The Dance Machine/DJ By Night/The Weatherman has dedicated himself teaching New York how to dance. A self taught social engineer, "rhythm scientist" and street philosopher, he began spinning records - yes real ones - circa 1999 in Austin, TX. He carried on the tradition of the underground electronic radio show, "The Thirteenth Hour," founded by James "Cookiecrook" Craig and Scotty Kleven on 91.7 FM. Branching out beyond radio, he started working as many rowdy house parties as possible. Since moving to New York in 2004, he has thrown down his damaged disco record collection at more venues and launched more dance parties than you can shake a stick at. He is the Energizer Bunny of a label manager for the Brooklyn based record label, Subtrak, and and can't help but connect the dots between Indie Dance, Disco, House and Electro in any given set.

In his spare time, he works as an architect to make ends meet.
