214, whose real name is Chris Roman, is an esteemed electronic music artist known for his work within the realms of electro and techno. His pseudonym is a nod to his birthday, February 14th, and under this moniker, Roman has crafted a distinct sound that embraces the colder, more emotive edges of electronica while staying true to the energetic underpinnings of the genre.

Originally hailing from Miami and now based in the Pacific Northwest, 214 seamlessly blends influences from his surrounds—whether it's the pulsating energy of Miami's club scene or the atmospheric and naturalistic overtones inspired by the landscapes of Washington State, evident in titles like "North Cascades" and "Talus Loop EP." Chris Roman has earned international acclaim and a dedicated following through a consistent output of high-quality releases such as "Around the Bend" and the intricate "Exposure To Winds", showcasing his skill in crafting stimulating rhythms and immersive soundscapes. With a discography that balances dance-floor utility with headphone introspection, 214 stands out as a beacon of innovation and quality in the electro genre.
