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 Canada.

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 2011. These rankings opened the door for a residency on trance.fm (Amsterdam, Netherlands) from 2012 to 2013, then a residency on afterhours.fm, the #1 trance internet radio station in the world.

After five 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 Bal en Blanc, Beachclub, Circus HD, New City Gas, MadNad Productions and Private Planet, 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.

The year 2014 will be a year of consecration: the artist starts his production career with his first singles "Ignition" and "The Night is White" feat. Joum under Vortek Records and signs his first EP, "Gravitation EP" (incl. Cataclysm and Gravitation) under D.MAX Deep in Germany. He is confirmed at nothing less than the prestigious Bal en Blanc (20th Edition) with New World Punx (Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten) alongside 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!
