Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor


Karl Prinzen began his DJ career in community FM radio back in 1991.
A producer and presenter of a weekly House music program that was broadcast live across Australia; he quickly received offers from clubs to play the same brand of music to a live audience.
Karl’s musical influences are many and diverse: from early 80’s new-wave electronica, to funk, soul, and all types of Latin American music, where as an Argentinean, his roots lie.
A loyal exponent of soulful garage and House music for over 12 years, Karl has remained faithful to his roots, consistently incorporating Latin sounds in all his sets.
A keen follower and admirer of legendary DJs such as Louie Vega, David Morales and Frankie Knuckles, Karl also draws inspiration from the new breed of House maestros such as Jay-J, Joeski, Karizma and Mauricio Aviles, contemporaries he relates to musically.
Karl’s sets have the reputation for being big on ‘feeling’: be it deep, intense, warm or festive.
In fact, most of Karl's sets will be a journey encompassing all these moods. It is for this reason that crowds tend to have so much fun when Karl is behind the decks.
The last couple of years have seen Karl play a host of Sydney clubs with residencies at Tank Nightclub, Civic, Burdekin and Q-Bar, as well as guest spots at Home, Kink, Moulin Rouge, Le Panic, Candy’s Apartment and many more.
Internationally speaking, Karl has played at Prince Bonaparte (Notting Hill, London, England), Cafe Mambo & Cafe Savannah (San Antonio, Ibiza, Spain) and Lido (Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy) and has played alongside Internationals just as Sneak, Armand Van Helden (in Spain), Chris Lum, Kaskade, Crazy Penis (in Australia).
In the last 2 years, Karl has played with UK superstars Bobby n’ Steve, Groove Assassin, Audiowhores, Richard Earnshaw, Stacey Kidd, Neil Pierce, Andy Ward and Karizma. As well as being involved with hosting all three Australian Soul Heaven Tours... all thanks to K-Life.
K-Life promotes deep and soulful House music - a night close to Karl's heart given he is the founder of the night, and also head DJ of the K-Life Krew.
