Surge Curated Nr. 04 with Kareem El Morr
------------------------------------------------------

After a few months of creative exile, Surge Curated returns with a brand new podcast by Munich based Kareem El Morr.

Kareem El Morr’s journey into the depths of techno began in the cluttered 90s studio of his cousin, where a mess of Akai MPCs and synth keyboards sparked a lifelong obsession. Since 2006, Kareem has been captivating dance floors as a DJ and pushing sonic boundaries as a producer since 2008.

Specializing in techno, Kareem's sound is a seamless blend of polished grooves and powerful beats, influenced by icons like Ben Klock, Reeko, Mark Broom and Monolake. His tracks, meticulously crafted, oscillate between dark, sinister undertones and vibrant, funky rhythms, always keeping the dance floor in motion.

Kareem’s DJ sets are masterclasses in energy and precision. He digs deep to unearth hidden gems, curating playlists that ensure an electrifying atmosphere. His performances at Rote Sonne, where he holds a residency, and at Blitz Club are renowned for their immersive and intimate vibe.

Not one to conform to the pressures of social media, Kareem lets his music speak for itself. His releases on Ilian Tape, RFR Records, and Molten Moods have garnered acclaim, showcasing his innovative approach to techno. Beyond music, he is balancing his passion with freelance work in film sound design and mixing and mastering.

With a new imprint on the horizon and aspirations for a full-length album, Kareem El Morr continues to surprise and energize, crafting sounds that resonate deeply on the dance floor and beyond.
