Chris Chetland


He’s “Mr Kog”, the main brain behind the mainframe of the label that came to define New Zealand electronic music in the late 1990s and early 2000s: Kog Transmissions.

Start ferreting around for information about Chris Chetland, however, and you soon get dizzy at the multiplicity of endeavours the label owner, studio owner, musician, producer and mastering engineer has taken on. And in fact, just as you think you’re starting to get your head around Chetland, he’ll casually mention some other curious collaboration.
