He captures the sometimes lost art of DJing. Karotte has grown out as one of the main figures of a music scene that's evolved into a worldwide industry on one hand, but on the other still lacks a fundament in musical knowledge here and there. And that's where this Frankfurt based DJ comes in. Karotte is the so-called personification of an artist who knows what it's all about.
Mesmerizing crowds for over twenty years now, bridging distances that have been created between DJ booth and dancefloor, he's simply stayed true to what a DJ was meant to be decades ago. To be one of the partypeople that is! Meanwhile showcasing a more than unique talent to pick the best records for the moment Karotte simply combines the best of both worlds; enjoying the party as well as creating the soundtrack for it.
It's a music freak gone professional. Since working in the record industry late 90s Karotte has created a flair for handpicking the most special tracks around, a unique sense most industry men would kill for. It gave him advantage on other DJs, always bringing the most relevant tunes to a party. Soon DJ Karotte was the one to guide you through the newest electronic sounds, to hear him play was to stay up to date.
Just listen to his weekly radio show at Sunshine Live and you'll get to know Karotte as the strong personality that he is. Always the center of attention, yes, but at the same time making sure everyone is having a good a time with a crazy sense of humour and undeniable energy. It's brought him a wide range of friends in every city he's ever been, he's the ultimate people person you look for in a DJ.
Whether he's playing alongside DJ superstars (his performances with Laurent Garnier can be acknowledged as legendary) or young upcoming artists, Karotte is loved by all. And that's perhaps what made him the headlining artist he is today. Not only delivering music as a longtime professional but bringing along his personality behind the decks, adding an extra dimension to his performance like no-one else does.
What was the expression we used? To hear him play is to stay up to date? Well, there's more to that. To see him play is to love him. Karotte will crawl under your skin and do more than simply get you dancing, he'll be your friend forever.
