About Me


Hey Folks!
As you may have noticed I have been out of action for a while. This is all good though as I am a proud father of a bouncing baby girl. Understandably this takes time. But I'm back in the studio and have started gigging again so will hopefully catch up soon.
I have also created a darker alter ego by way of Calvin Karass so will be producing some moodier darker stuff and who knows there might be one or two floor shakers coming your way soon.
No this isn’t going to be one of those sites that has the owner promoting themselves in third person.
I play primarily Trance and Driving Techno but will drift off into about anything that I think sounds good and works with what I’m doing.
I have been a DJ for about 21 years now and actually started when I was about 14, long before it was mainstream cool. I had been into Hip Hop and Electro since 1983 and having witnessed the likes of Grand Master Flash, Jazzy Jay and Kool DJ Herc the only thing I ever wanted to do was make people dance.
I played my first gig in 87/88 when Acid House was starting to blow up and really got into it from then on with some friends as we had a sound system together. I have dabbled in a lot of styles from Breaks to DnB but have found that Trance and Techno are really my true passion.
During my time as a DJ I have had the opportunity to meet many great individuals and played at some really cool and some famous places along the way.
Pictures to come soon.
I have recently been offered an opportunity to sign one of my tracks so that is hopefully looking like it will come out in January 2007.
I will keep you updated.
All the best
Karl
