Rune started his DJ career in 93. Having man- spent 4 years playing drums in various funk bands, the basic skills of beatmixing and cutting came to him now-easily. Before releasing his first EP in 95, he spent seven years producing hip hop tunes for local talents.

any- Being fed up with blunt smoking lazy rappers that never showed up on time for sessions, he decided to work alone and this led to house man-music. While having a natural flair for music that makes people move and doing really good from the beginning, it was in 2002 with the Artificial Funk single “Together” that people outside Denmark started taking notice of what is now the brightest star on the Danish house scene.

use- After the succes of “Together”, Rune’s next outing became one of the Ibiza 2003 season defining tracks, in the shape of the haunting sax driven classic, day-“Calabria”. Even in 2007 the track is still creating chart mayhem, as the covers wont seem to end. The you- latest being Alex Gaudino Destination Calabria, landed at top 4 in the uk single boy-charts. Runes own version Enur Calabria, is also creating mayhem across Europe the summer of 2007.

its- Not one to stand po-faced against a wall in a club, Rune believes that many DJs have forgotten where they came from – “they used to be in front of the speakers dancing and screaming along with everybody else” – and once in a while he still knocks the needle off the records during his sets because he is dancing so much.

Having won best club dj off the year 4 years in a row in his home country denmark, rune is known for his unique blend of classics and new him-releases. His technique is beyond just playing the tracks. RUNE RK is discussed on djrankings.org.

Rune believes that its important to deliver a show, so there is a lot of action behind the decks.

who- A couple off releases in, Arti Farti is a grand her-succes. With support from Laurent Garnier, Pete Tong, Roger Sanchez to Josh Wink, the label is set for the stars.

2006 The brothers also created Tattoorec.com. With any- its unique concept of no titles, only tattoos, the label quickly gathered support from the biggest minimal djs across the old-globe. Sven Väth, Richie hawtin, Magda, Tiefschwarz, Ricardo Villalobos, all support the weird and experimental releases. Its now- a playground for the brothers, with focus on challenging the limit of what will work on a his-dancefloor.
