HI, I’m Kris, aka Four Candles, a music producer and engineer with credits on some of the most forward thinking and influential record labels in melodic electronic music, including Bedrock Records, Balance, Café Del Mar, Diviine, Global Underground, Sudbeat and Shèn.
Since 2015, my imprint ‘Keep Thinking’ has maintained its ethos of projecting quality underground music, without compromising on originality. This approach has led to regular support from the DJs such as John Digweed, Sasha, Spencer Brown, Anthony Pappa and many more.
Regardless of where your music ends up, this ethos remains at the forefront of everything I do. Whether you’re a professional with time constraints, or a part-time artist, you can rest assured that your music will be in safe hands.

Great attention to detail throughout, always a message away for advice. Easy to work with, great communication, very skilled guy. Highly recommended.Posted on Stephen TierneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before working with Kris, I could make music that sounded decent to my ears — but I had no real understanding of arrangement, structure, or how to take an idea somewhere. Eighteen months of mentorship with him changed that completely. What Kris brings isn’t just technical knowledge — it’s patience, genuine enthusiasm for your development as an artist, and an ear that cuts straight to what matters. He helped me understand not just what to do, but why, which means the lessons actually stick. The progress I’ve made in that time has been significant, and I wouldn’t have got there without his guidance. If you’re a producer looking for someone who genuinely invests in your growth, I can’t recommend Kris highly enough — both as a mentor and as an artist in his own right under Taste Maker.Posted on paul chambersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great in-person day in the studio with Kris putting the finishing touches on a track. He’d previously done some mix work for me, and I found him professional, easy to communicate with, and genuinely interested in understanding my artistic vision rather than just getting the track out the door. I’m really happy with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Kris again. The in-person day flew by, and I came away with plenty of extra knowledge, a great-sounding track, and lots of fresh ideas. I’d happily recommend him to anyone trying to squeeze that elusive extra % out of their music.Posted on Michael ParkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of booking a half-day studio session with Kris. Having worked with him one-on-one before, I already knew he was an incredible producer and mix engineer, but this session truly reminded me why I keep coming back. What I’m most grateful for is Kris’s humble, playful approach; he creates an environment where creativity feels effortless. Instead of trying to force a specific ‘label’ sound, he used his expertise to help me lean into my own unique style, polishing it into something truly professional. I’m so thankful for his guidance and would highly recommend Kris to anyone looking to elevate their music while staying true to their vision.Posted on Brian ChapinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Working with Kris has been an absolute pleasure. Each track mastered he manages to bring to life with precise, clean and punchy depth that takes the track to the next level. The level of detail he goes to is incredible, providing advice on how to get the absolute maximum out of the mix before the mastering stage, exactly what you want from a mastering engineer.
