Lars Klein, born in Dortmund (Germany), got the first contact with electronic music by listening to productions by Jean Michel Jarre.

In the middle of the 80ies he got in touch with some Chicago House Tracks. Labels like "DJ International" and "Trax" published that electronic, pumping sound without any vocal elements.
With one Tuntable and a tape deck Lars made the first mix tapes and forced his friends to listen to them.

At the beginning of the 90ies he got his first DJ bookings and it came clear, that he was captured inside that music.

1994 he bought his first studio equipment and the first experiences and productions were started. 1995 he took part of a DJ-Tour through Lithuania and Bookings all over Germany were fixed.

In 1999 Lars started to work in a record store in Dortmund. A few month before he already got in contact with the current A & R of Fine-Audio and Compressed Recordings.So it came that the first production was released on Compressed Records in september 1999. Further Releases followed on Fine Audio, Compressed, GAMB, Bliss and Touch Tone.
