Based in Los Angeles, Christopher Lawrence was the first U.S. artist signed to Scotland’s prestigious Hook Recordings, which was described by Mixmag as ‘one of the best trance labels on the planet’. In 1997, Christopher Lawrence released his debut EP Navigator.

The Navigator white label received a massive response in Europe with Mixmag Update giving the EP an amazing four out of five. John Digweed closed his set with Navigator at England’s legendary Tribal Gathering festival to forty thousand people. Graeme Gold has added it to rotation on London’s KISS FM, while Way Out West’s Jodie gave it a whopping nine and a half out of ten (his highest rating). Also charting it was Paul Oakenfold, Renaissance’s Anthony Pappa, 808 State’s Darren and Michael Dog… just to name a few.

The A side is the forceful and emotive trance epic Navigator. This track caused a stir at the 1997 Winter Music Conference in Miami, with rival DJs offering bids on the only existing acetate. On the B-side, Neodog is a driving, solid track encompassing the traditional sounds of Hook, while First Light is the perfect track for that sunrise set.
