Claudius Kantner

Claudius Kantner has been a pure vinyl DJ since the 90s. You don't need more than 2 turntables and a mixer. To this day he sees no reason to change this attitude.

He began (according to the authorities) to organize illegal rave parties in former NATO bunkers in the Germany. To give the whole thing a legal front he took over the Empire in Speicher from 2002 to 2004. According to him, this was a stupid idea but very funny.

After he founded his label "Empire Vinyls" in 2004 he was a DJ and a Live act.

He performed in clubs across Europe. Roxy Prague, Phonodrome Hamburg, Alive Festival, Eau Rouge Festival, Street Parade Geant, U60311 ffm etc.
Of course he was also on the road with us in the area e.g. im Zone, Sound, Empire, 5080, Minimalsause, Unfug Club, Elevator, Room Luxemburg etc.
In 2010 he founded the live act CLARAR with DJ RAR, where the two performed with a drummer, cellist, violinist and singer.
In 2015 he founded the project "Connect" together with Mr Joe by working as a producer and mixing engineer.

Since 2020 he has also been back solo.
