Karsten Pflum
Karsten Pflum is the moniker of Jacob Helverskov Madsen, Danish electronic music producer and DJ.
Inspired equally by 1980s synth pop, Detroit techno, and Nordic folk-music, Karsten Pflum started experimenting with old synths and sequencers in the middle of the 90's using the name Slaphead Faun.
After discarding that name he released his first album Tracks on the label Worm Interface in 2003, soon followed by EPs and full length releases on labels like Jenka Music, Tender Productions, Suburban Trash Industries and Mindwaves (where Slaphead Faun rose again as an album title). His music has been broadcasted across the airwaves by famous British DJ John Peel and Mary Anne Hobbs, and he has toured in Scandinavia, Germany, UK, Spain & Turkey.
Over the years he became part of the intriguing and very talented young Danish school of electronica and a driving force of the North European electronic music scene. Currently he lives in Berlin and studied electronic music at the academy in his former hometown of Aarhus.
In his work, he explores the BOUNDARIES of heavy bass driven dubstep, frantic d'n'b and breakcore, combining soulful soundscapes with complex rhythm programming and treatments.
