BIO: from the unfoundsound web site:

"christopher frank (a.k.a. dj crasta) was among the first djs in philadelphia to play and promote experimental music and idm in clubs, bars and warehouses. as the founder of springlab productions, he hosted events that started off as raves, and quickly evolved into something laid-back and sophisticated. in the late '90s, he hosted philly's longest running trip-hop weekly event (called grass) at silk city along with julian s. process and brad 'milkweed' davis. as a dj as well as a live artist (a.k.a. tleilaxu), he's opened for funkstorung, amon tobin, mix master morris, talvin singh, low, high llamas, morcheeba and others. inspired by labels like warp and skam when these labels were fresh and new, he was producing heady, broken beat-ish idm. after releasing compilation tracks on labels like darla, tbtmo and cloudwatch, tleilaxu released his debut album, gene therapy, on sean o'neal's fuzzy box label in 2000. musically, he has been on hiatus for the past several years to focus on opening and running his new café--chapterhouse--located less than one block away from south street in philadelphia."

He has several releases on the un/foundsound label, as recently as Jan 2008.
