Artists [Lars Behrenroth]

The story begins in Cuxhaven, Germany with organ lessons at an early age, spinning records at local dance school parties to enjoying people dancing to his music all around the world and back to Los Angeles where he relocated in April 2004.

While in Hamburg, Germany he attended audio engineering school where he completed his first remix projects in 1996. Shortly after that he collaborated with Michael Carstensen as "Birth of Cool." After a year of working in the studio and a handful of remixes (ie. MJ Cole "Sincere" on EDEL, Martha Cinader "Living it" on LSL, NYC) the duo decided to move on and focus on their own individual projects. That very same year, Lars began co-hosting "House Sound of Hamburg" (HSH) on a local radio station. In 1998 with much success he brought the exclusive mix show to Evosonic Radio, a European-wide electronic and dance music radio station. The weekly three-hour house music mix show was a big hit and hosted artists from around the world such as Deep Swing, Mateo & Matos, Paul Johnson, and DJ Pierre to name a few. The show went on to syndicate on the New York underground on-line radio station, Streetsound, as well as "CyberRadio & CyberRadio TV," the first German internet-broadcasting station which he launched, programmed, managed and along with Constantin Groll hosted the longest house music mix show on the net, "GlobalHouseConnection" (GHC), an 8-hour Saturday night marathon which can now be heard as a two hour version on Sundays @ www.globalhouseconnection.com.

His current show, "Deeper Shades of House" can be heard nationwide in the US on XM Satellite Radio, THE MOVE (Channel 80) three times a week.

As a producer Lars has accumulated an impressive discography. You can find his music under his name and BOC Productions. Over the years he has released and album and numerous 12"s on labels such as Chez Music - NYC, Deep4Life - Chicago, Compost, TOI - Germany and has remixed artists Kathy Brown, The Rurals , Pressure (95North Records), Deep Swing, Dubtribe, MJ Cole, Alma Horton, Slope, Q-Burns Abstract Message feat. Lisa Shaw, Arnold Jarvis and more.
