Biography

Lars Klein, born Dortmund (in the huge industrial Ruhr area), became infected with electronic music when he first listened to the vinyls of Jean-Michel Jarre. In the Mid-80s, he got in touch with House music and it were labels such as "DJ International" and "Trax" who left their deepest traces with their impelling and propulsive electronic sounds without any vocal knick-knack whatsoever. Equipped with turntables and a tape deck, he began to produce a series of amateur mix tapes which his friends and mates received with much enthusiasm. In the early 90s, he had his first DJ bookings which marked that Lars was set for his musical career. In 1994 he had assembled his first studio equipment, and he immediately began to work hard at developing his production skills. The news spread like wild fire and he was soon snapped up by the crème de la crème of labels. Planet Rhythm, Primate and Fine Audio have all knocked on Lars’ door for tracks and the demand has definitely not abated. The fact that Lars is an excellent producer has been immortalised on vinyl, but what about his skills as a DJ? Any one who has seen Lars play will be able to tell you that he turns a crowd upside down and leaves them begging for more. The combination of German thoroughness to ensure seamless mixes and the innovative choice of records make him the perfect entertainer! Lars started up his own label LK records in March 2004 to provide a platform for more of his work as well as that of artists he admires.
