Biography
Some DJs play music, some DJs play the crowd… dj kärl k-otik is in the second category. Chaos is coming… to a club near you…

Since 2005, dj kärl k-otik seems to be cutting corners at the same crazy pace he is heating up the dancefloors. 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.

With all his presences unanimously saluted by his peers at îleSoniq, Bal en Blanc, Beachclub, Escapade, New City Gas, Circus Afterhours, (((stereo))), and numerous private partys/raves, 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.

Everything starts in 2013 with many major bookings. dj kärl k-otik shares the decks with no other than Dash Berlin & Cosmic Gate (Kissed by the Sun), W&W, Ben Gold & Leon Bolier (Ibiza Music Festival) 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 Afterhours.

The year 2014 will be a year of consecration: the artist starts his production career with his first singles under “Vortek Records” and signs his first EP under D.MAX Recordings in Germany. DJ kärl k-otik is confirmed at nothing less than the prestigious Bal en Blanc 20th Edition with New World Punx (Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten), Andrew Rayel, Omnia, Solarstone & Giuseppe Ottaviani. 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!

dj kärl k-otik’s wave continues to sweep the trance scene in 2015: the artist is reconfirmed (for the    second year in a row) at the prestigious Bal en Blanc 21st  Edition at Bell Center with David Guetta,   Alesso, Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila B2B John O’Callaghan, W&W, Dash Berlin and Nicole Moudaber B2B Danny Tenaglia. The rest of 2015 is crazy with Circus Afterhours’ 11th anniversary with Alex M.O.R.P.H., Christopher Lawrence & Sneijder, events with Paul van Dyk+Orjan Nilsen, Dash Berlin and the great  Armin van Buuren at New City Gas and  memorable days at Beachclub  with  Coldharbour Recordings crew (Fisherman & Hawkins, Mr. Pit, M.I.K.E. Push, Danilo Ercole & Dave Neven), Andrew Rayel and Armada crew (Aly & Fila, Mark Sixma & Ruben de Ronde).

2016 won’t be left aside : after an impressive year beginning  with Arnej vs.  8  Wonders,  the Anjunabeats NA Tour (Andrew Bayer, ilan Bluestone, Jason Ross et Grum), Andrew Rayel and Cosmic Gate, kärl k-otik doesn’t slow down with a 3rd consecutive Bal en Blanc  22nd  Edition with  Afrojack, Deorro, KSHMR, Aly & Fila, Gareth Emery et Mark Sixma. A crazy summer and fall await the  DJ/producer with Andrew Rayel, Above & Beyond and the great Armin van Buuren at Beachclub and why not îleSoniq 2016 with Ferry Corsten pres. Gouryella, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate, Andrew Bayer, ilan Bluestone and Jason Ross at Parc Jean-Drapeau…

The secret of dj kärl k-otik : an incredible energy, a contagious enthusiasm, a tireless perseverance but, above all, an immoderate passion for electronic music…

2016, the year of dj kärl k-otik? You have seen nothing yet… wait to see what is in store for 2017…

Not just a DJ … a DJ/Promotor
dj kärl k-otik is not only an artist : he is also a businessman and a fearsome promotor!

Des attentes e1evees

La venue d'Armin  van  Buuren  au  Beach  Club  fait  evidemment  grandement  parler  en  ville. De memoire , plus  de  12  000 personnes  etaient presentes  lors de  la visite d'Hardwell a Pointe -Calumet, a 1'€t€ 2013. C'est du monde a la messe. Presque autant qu'au Bal en Blanc! Le retaur de AVB au Beach Club risque d'etre le plus gras evenement de l'ete a
Montreal, avec bien evidemment le nouveau festival ileSonic du Pare Jean-Drapeau.

Mais maintenant que les deux plus grands reves  de  ki:irl  k-otik  seront  realises  en  2014, que reste-t- il  comme defi a !' artiste  pour la  suite de sa carriere? « Aprf!s le BeB et  AVB,  man   prochain objectif  sera de jouer dons un gros  festival de musique eiectronique, ou encore
de mixer dons un club aux Etats-Unis ou d'Europe », me lance -t- il , les yeux bri llants. Ce ne sont  paurtant  pas  les  beaux  projets  qui  manquent  pour  cette  veritab le   boule   d'energie
: <( Je travail/e trf!s fort en studio depuis plus d'un an et j'ai presque termine ma quatri€me production. Aprf!s le succes de man premier titre "Ignition" qui a bien fonctionne sur Vortek Records, ii ne me reste qu'G signer "The Night is White", "Cataclysm" et la dernii!re, qui n'a pas encore ete  baptis€e. »  De plus, Carl me co nfirme   qu' il sera  du  procha in  Black  Light  Party IIJ le 30  aoGt,  all  ii  aura  le  plaisir  de  signer  un  Extended  Set,  de  meme  qu'au  prochain  party de MadNad Productions, qui doit se tenir en novembre.

DJ Mag Canada: Who is your real-life hero and why?

French toasts and a great coffee with my little family!

DJ Mag Canada: Talk to me about your podcast, " Chaos in the Stratosphere" ..

karl k-otik: There is no other way. It means a way to familiarize my fans with my music and reach out to them. They follow you because they can associate with your music. I didn't invent anything. If you look at some of the top DJ's they all started with podcasts. They're just another way  to get to more people and show them what your all about. Now on Podomatic I'm in the to ratings because I'm able to share my work on social media. This helps a lot.

DJ Mag Canada: Who gave you your first chance?

karl k-otik: Alain Joyal from L' Eclip se did, first person to give me a chance. J\lain has given many DJ's their first start. A stand up guy.
DJ Mag Canada: So the Montreal scene is booming, what's your take on the scene,
karl k-otik: Some great new talent coming up from Montreal, and we have a bright future. If you look at guys like Rob Naylor, amazing talent. In terms of productions, Montreal is going to be a place to reckon with for sure.
DJ Mag Canada: So you're in the studio, what 's in the pipel ine ?
karl k-otik: I have two new tracks I'm working on now, and one that's almost finished. I don't want to rush them, I want them to be good before I release them. Also I'm looking for a good label to promote them. This is what is missing in my repertoire. So I want to put this on my resume.
DJ Mag Canada: Laptop or USS ?

karl k-otik: Clubs USB, I'm a control freak. I always have a plan A and B. I always have a laptop just in case. Always prepared just in case.
DJ Mag Canada: Trance has really evolved, what do you think of the evolution ?

k8.r1 k - otik:    I  don't live in the past. Honestly I listen to some old trance and I find it's missinga layer.Now today the music is richer more full. Lower BPM's, I enjoy more mixing the new stuff. Now I play a mixture of styles, prog House, I love the Breaks and Build up's. BeforeI used to spin 136- 140, now I spin at 128- 132. The quality is there now in the songs. There's more as I say "texture" in the newer tracks.
DJ Mag Canada: We hear a lot these days that the tracks are getting shorter because of attention spans are not there anymore..
k8.r1 k-otik: The DJ's now play more the climax parts of the tracks. They skip the intros and outros, they go get the crowd by the " heart" of the tracks.  They  want  to  get the  crowd pumped  and dancing continuously. They also want to sell tracks, so it's  also a question of  artists  being able to sell their records.
OJ Mag Canada: Where do you love playing ?

kM k-otik: Beach aub ... I love that place. The vibe , the people. It's new for me, but  just incredible. But of course I love all the clubs I play. They all have a certain vibe that they own, each of them.
DJ Mag Canada: Where would you love to play ?

karl k-otik: Hakkasan, it's a sick, sick club. My dream would be  to play Bal en  Blanc.  Other than that it would Obviously be Ibiza, we all have dreams. I have played some places and shared the decks with people that even now I still can't believe. So why couldn' t I play Bal en Blanc or Ibiza !!
DJ Mag Canada: Top track  you love right now?

karl k-otik: You're tough on me ! " Jumper" by Hardwell followed by " Lift Off" by W&W. When I spin that, magic happens. It's crazy, but I love it.
DJ Mag Canada: Top track of all time ?

k8.r1 k-otik:" Mise rere & Rush Hour'' by Annin Van Buuren that's my track. Will always be my track.

DJ Mag Canada: Let me know something crazy that not many people know about Karl..
k8.r1 k-otik: Well I got into DJ'ing because I started do mixed tapes for my spin classes ! I needed music for my classes,  then other instructor's  started  asking me for  some more music,  and the rest is history !
k8.r1 k-otik is live at Maximus at Circus HD this New Years Eve, alongside some other huge international names like Mr. Pit , Andrew Rayel , Beat Service, Arctic Moon to name a few. Also present are locals UPPERCUT, Raneem, Oren D, Scott James just to start. The rest of the line up is just as impressive.
