Karsten John`s passion for music started in his early childhood, learning his first instrument by the age of 6. He later studied Jazz guitar at the Institute of the Arts in Arnhem before coincidently becoming a DJ in the mid 90s. His highly sucessful first residency got him infected with club culture and night life and after moving to Cologne he founded the now legendary Vinyl Vibes club night in 1998. The party quickly became internationally known for being a hot spot for old and new Jazz infected grooves. Soon Karsten started touring worldwide bringing his Vinyl Vibes to clubs in Europe, Canada, USA, South America and Australia. Due to collecting lots of unreleased music on his DJ tours he was taking the next step in 2004 by founding Vinyl Vibes Records to release some of his favourite gems.
Being the musical face of Vinyl Vibes Records, Karsten transported the freestyle idea behind the label in his DJ sets. Rare and undiscovered 60s and 70s Sounds mixed with any kind of modern club beats be it Deep House, Drum`n`Bass, Down Tempo, Broken & Afro Beats, for a unique dancefloor experience.
In 2012 Karsten John decided to focus on his love for Deep House and Electronic Music by founding a new club night called Love.Beats. It is irregularly taking place in Cologne and apart from his Resident Nights it's also featuring guests like Trickski, Mister Saturday Night, Peter Pardeike or Peter Kruder.
Of course you can still find Karsten playing his music for selected dance floors around the world.

With ORPHAN, Empires climb to rare heights. Their vivid rock ‘n’ roll is now fused with an imaginative and open-armed approach. Born of singer Sean Van Vleet’s fascination with contemporary popcraft, songs like “Please Don’t Tell My Lover” and the night-driving “How Good Does It Feel” see the Chicago-based band adopting time-honored romantic idioms, both musical and lyrical, to mask deeper and darker personal truths.

Van Vleet put pen to paper and began to write in a wholly free space, with no expectations or endgame in mind. He explored a musical language that was quite literally out of character, imagining his songs performed not by Empires but by some indeterminate modern pop thrush.

“It was really freeing,” Van Vleet says, “just trying to put myself in somebody else’s shoes, another artist’s voice. I stopped overthinking what I was trying to say and started saying it much more clearly.”

Van Vleet also immersed himself in classic post punk and indie rock ‘n’ roll circa 1989-1991, his mind’s eye reeling as he delved into the canons of such sonic adventurers as My Bloody Valentine, Wire, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Songs like “Orphan” and “Shadowfaux” emerged as Van Vleet accessed previously untapped springs of melody, lyric, and meaning. He eventually played his demo recordings to his fellow band members, who surprised him by validating his efforts, demanding Empires tackle this divergent new material themselves.

“I was just showing them to Max,” Van Vleet says. “I had no idea it was something he’d be into. In my mind, it was this extreme pop but the songs really resonated with the band, which for some reason, I didn’t expect to happen.”

While prior Empires recordings had been produced, engineered, and mixed by Steger, the band agreed the time had come to see what an outside influence might bring to the table and in September 2013, traveled to Dallas for three weeks of sessions with producer John Congleton. Known with his work with such dissimilar artists as St. Vincent, The War On Drugs, Cloud Nothings, and The Black Angels, Congleton proved the ideal midwife for Empires’ aesthetic rebirth, assisting them as they shed deeply rooted means of expression.

“John took ideas that we thought were golden and threw them away,” Van Vleet says. “He said, ‘You need to let the song be what it is and you need to live with it.’ And that’s what we did. He taught us not to hide our songs, to let it all shine through.”

Stripping Empires’ already expansive sound to its essence exposed far more range and emotional heft to songs like “Lifers” and the cutting “Hostage” – the guitars sound richer and atmospheric, the rhythms subtle and fluid yet more powerful at the same time. Throughout the album, Van Vleet’s raw croon rises to match the band’s musicality, conveying anxieties, secrets, and a heartfelt longing for transcendence.

ORPHAN serves a forward-thinking landmark as Empires continue to grow and venture towards unprecedented terrain.

“Now we’re going to go deeper into this new direction, see how we evolve within it. We’re just scratching the surface on who we are.”  May 2014

It is rare in the EDM scene to find a duo that is equally as explosive in the studio as they are on stage.

Krillz & Kontrol, aka TRPMSTR, are EDM's missing piece to the puzzle. TRPMSTR features two explosive EDM Djs that take the idea of a duo to the next level. Both Krillz and Kontrol are seasoned Djs and producers that deliver live edits, mixes and an unmatched energy at every show!  This explosive mastermind deliver a Live Edit, Live Mashup EDM Experience that pushes fans out of their seats! Their signature style and energy have garnered the attention of Tiesto, landing them on Tiesto's Club Life Radio.  Individually, they have since worked with lil jon, co-Producing "Ladies Birthday Anthem" and earning the rank of being Lil Jon's official remixer! They've worked with Fabo of D4L, been fetured on a Heineken sponsored tour of Taiwan, and have amassed over 3 million Soundcloud plays! Collectively they're coming off of an 8-city European Tour, and are gearing up for a Southeastern Tour and festival run.  They are redefining the definition of what it means to be an electronic duo.  It's no suprise that they have garnered the attention and support of EDM legends Tiesto, Dj Snake and Diplo!

Both Krillz & Kontrol are internationally known DJs who are deeply rooted in Hip Hop. For years, Krillz has been the official DJ for the legendary group 8-Ball & MJG, touring all over the world and sharing the stage with the biggest names in Hip Hop. Meanwhile Kontrol worked closely with the undisputed King of the Club, Lil Jon, delivering dozens of explosive remixes and collaborations. individually they both have claimed resident DJ spots on the 96.1 primetime radio mix garnering millions of listeners per week! The combination of these two Trap Legends is unprecedented in the EDM world!   

When these two began creating Trap music, the genre didn't even have a name. In fact, when they first began playing their tracks for Lil Jon years ago, they were still calling them "Crunk". They have always been on the cutting edge and are both tastemakers in their own right. With support from DJs as big as Tiesto, the sky is the limit as these guys redefine what a group in EDM can be.  Behold the masters of Trap!

This account was made when X announced that he will delete all of his songs from soundcloud. Since u guys liked the idea of this profile, I decided to keep it.
I don't make any kind of profit (in terms of money) off this account. The old songs from Jahs soundcloud are uploaded in timeline and with the original tags/pictures/descriptions. The old/rare/lost songs doesn't have pictures and tags because some of these songs was made way before his first song on soundcloud "Vice City". Hope you guys will enjoy it!
