Karl Samuels, also known as KidD KlasZ, has been mixing for approximately 10 years. In that time he has perfected the art of DJ'ing and audio production through determination and skill. Karl never really wanted to be a dj, he justed wanted to hear the music that he loved. After he purchased his first cheap set of turntables, and a older Gemini mixer, the music he chose to mix would be that of house genres. He prefers to mix Chicago/LA style Hard House and Detroit Techno, but has the ability and resources to mix every style from Trance, to Hardcore, even Drum & Bass. Within his collection of 500+ vinyl records the artists who have influenced him greatly are DJ Bam Bam, Richard Humpty Vission, DJ Irene, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Venom, Angel Alanis, Rick Garcia, CZR, Mark V. & Poogie Bear.
Karl happend to join the music scene when he started working for SDC in the late 90's as an event promoter. From there his skills in repair and upkeep of the SDC sound equipment earned him respect of the SDC owners and staff, along with additional spots in upcoming SDC event line ups. Since he has always looked younger than his true age, he adopted the nickname Kidd, and sometimes DJ's by the name of KidDKlasZ. Kidd Klasz is still striving for perfection in this fast paced enviroment of the music industry, yet everyday he seems to come up with a new inventive way of blending two, or sometimes 3, records. He has started to produce tracks of his own this year, and hopes to one day own his own record label.
