Lars Klein & Jan Liefhebber

Together on 4 decks!

Jan Liefhebber
Jan Liefhebber is most well known for founding the now infamous Highland Beats Records in 1995.
Highland Beats has become one of the most respected techno labels around featuring prestigious artists like WJ Henze, Cristian Varela, Glenn Wilson, Lars Klein to name but a few. Jan also started up his own record shop aged just 20 and helped to set up the techno department of Triple Vision Record Distribution. He is also the brain behind the successful labels Klirfactor, Body Art Form and Highland Beats Limited.

Jan initially made a name for his DJ sets at underground parties in Holland and for the parties he organised under the name Equivalence. The word soon spread and he broke through internationally, performing more often in the rest of the world than in his native Holland. He has become a household name in Germany where he played at Nature One in 2003 as well as performing regularly in France, England, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Mexico and the USA.

Jan also receives a lot of acclaim for his own productions and his work with studio partner DJ Hansz. He has released on prolific labels including Highland Beats, Klirfactor, Lifeform, Decomplex Audio, Giant & Dwarf and Synopsis. He also has releases lined up for Global Trax (USA), the German label Artillery, and upcoming Dutch label Underground Liberation. Jan follows his own instincts and lives for the music, which has proved to be the success factor of his labels, record shop and DJ career.

Lars Klein
Lars Klein, born Dortmund (in the huge industrial Ruhr area), became infected with electronic music when he first listened to the vinyls of Jean-Michel Jarre. In the Mid-80s, he got in touch with House music and it were labels such as "DJ International" and "Trax" who left their deepest traces with their impelling and propulsive electronic sounds without any vocal knick-kack whatsoever. Equipped with turntables and a tape deck, he began to produce a series of amateur mix tapes which his friends and mates received with much enthusiasm. In the early 90s, he had his first DJ bookings which marked that Lars was set for his musical career. In 1994 he had assembled his first studio equipment, and he immediately began to work hard at developing his production skills. In December 1995, a breakthrough in his Djing was achieved when Lars was booked for an extensive DJ Tour in Lithuania and throughout Germany. In 1999, Lars started working for an important record store in Dortmund, which strengthened his already existing contact with the former A&R of Fine Audio Recordings and Compressed Records. This contact lead to his first official 12" vinyl on Compressed Rec. which was released in September 1999. Further releases on FINE AUDIO and other labels such as BOUND and COMPRESSED were soon to follow. Now Lars is a much requested DJ worldwide.

March 2004 he established his imprint "LK Rec". Pounding stuff to be expected.
