Biografie
·Karl got interested in DJ'ing back in the early 90's when as a kid he got his first go on a few 1200's with an old used and abused Dateq mixer at a friends place. Learned the ropes by playing his friends' collection of early (acid) trance, "turn up the bass" house music and early rave records at first, but eventually fell in love with techno music which lead him to buying his own records by the likes of Mauro Picotto, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke and later some more work by Speedy J and Robert hood as being a bass head he slowly started to appreciate the more minimalistic, slower yet bass heavy sounds more than the fast, mid/high driven "rave style" techno music.
First equipment self-owned consisted of 2 second (probably third) hand silver 1210MK2's and an el-cheapo mixer (brand unknown to human kind) connected to an old Realistic Amp Stereo set up at an attic "studio" in the middle of a residential area pissing off all neighbors within about a mile radius.
Started playing in warehouses around Amsterdam's industrial area's he then quickly went from just pissing off his neighbors to also pissing off pretty much every one else's in the rural Amsterdam area.
He then got a degree in IT Science, a job, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car and mortgage and then he suddenly remembered that very early in the new millennium he got his first taste of all the wonders of the digital world of music when he saw a demo of Rebirth and later Traktor and Ableton at a technology expo in Amsterdam.
This could finally bridge the gap between his 2 passions. IT and Techno. The technology was, however, far from mature at the time.
But then, back in 2010, when he saw Chris Liebing and his all time hero Speedy J play an amazing set together remixing and mashing up tracks live with their set-up using Traktor, Ableton and Maschine he knew. This was what he really wanted to do. And so began the age of samples, drum machines, tracks and raging controllerism.
His trusty travel companions now consist of a MBP running Ableton Live, Maschine and Traktor and 2X1 II's, a Maschine Studio and an Octatrack DPS1. All connected to an A&H DB4 mixer bringing it all together in a hybrid Live-DJ set-up.
Usually seen and heard in the greater Amsterdam area, he's also known as the 'Eindbaas' (dutch for End Boss) for usually being the final bad ass act of the night.
His sounds can best be described as deep, minimalistic, bass driven and hard.
