Biography
Since 2010, dj kärl k-otik seems to be cutting corners at the same crazy pace he is heating up the
dance floors. Discovered five years ago by a few promoters that made him one of their preferred DJs,
he didn’t take long to get noticed by the leaders of trance & progressive music in Montreal.
In 2010, he launched his highly acclaimed podcast «Chaos in the Stratosphere» on iTunes and on
podOmatic.com (the world’s largest podcast broadcasting service). He constantly hits the top of the
chart of the Trance category after the release of each episode since 2012. These rankings opened the
door for a residency on trance.fm (Netherlands), one of the top 5 most popular internet radio stations
of electronic music, where he produces a monthly radio show with an average of 2000 listeners per
show.
After three years of bookings in multiple clubs, afterhours and private parties, kärl k-otik doesn’t slow
down and transforms on CD/demos, just like on the dance floors, all the expectations placed on him.
With all his presences unanimously saluted by his peers at Beachclub, New City Gas, Circus HD,
(((stereo))), MadNad Productions, Private Planet, SinCity Prodcutions and Bar Passeport, dj kärl k-otik
now is putting in place all the required elements to position himself as one of the hopefuls of the
trance & progressive community in Canada.
dj kärl k-otik’s wave continues to sweep the trance scene in 2013 many major bookings. DJ kärl kotik
shares the decks with no other than Dash Berlin & Cosmic Gate (Kissed by the Sun 2013), W&W, Ben
Gold & Leon Bolier (Ibiza Music Festival 2013) at Beachclub, Bryan Kearney and Simon Patterson with
Private Planet at Penthouse, Sean Tyas at (((stereo))) and Andrew Rayel, Mr. Pit, Beat Service & Arctic
Moon for the mega-event Circus Maximus MMXIV (NYE party) at Circus HD.
The year 2014 will be a year of consecration: the artist starts his production career with his first single
« Ignition (Original Mix) » under Vortek Records label and he is confirmed at nothing less than the
prestigious Bal en Blanc (20th Edition) with New World Punx (Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten) along
Bestie Larkin & Adina Butar, Andrew Rayel, Omnia, Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottaviani & Carnage in the
Arena 3 (trance). As early as February 2014, his year is fully booked with many big announcements to
come! On the menu, John O’Callaghan, Sneijder, Lange for Circus Afterhours’ 10th anniversary, Ferry
Corsten at New City Gas and who else than Armin van Buuren at Beachclub, just to name a few!
Chaos is coming… in a club near you…
The secret of dj kärl k-otik : an incredible energy, a contagious enthusiasm, a tireless perseverance
