Kristian Littmann

Kristian is a dj/producer based in Vancouver, Canada. Over the years, he has played many seminal nights in the Vancouver club scene, including Focus, Volume, Balance, Cheeky, and Overproof. For several years, he was a fixture at the infamous Passion parties at the Rowing Club. From 2005-2008, Kristian was a resident at Progressive Entertainment's "Focus", held at the treasured Lotus Sound Lounge in Vancouver, Canada, which featured such luminaries as Kasey Taylor, Paolo Mojo, Chris Fortier, Jimmy Van M, Luke Fair and Desyn Masiello. In the summer of 2008, he played the Pemberton Music Festival, which included such acts as Coldplay, Jay Z, Tom Petter, Dave Seaman, Mstrkrft, Deadmaus, Booka Shade, Crystal Method and others. 2010 saw him playing the dj stage at the inaugural Live at Squamish Festival, along with Dirty Vegas, Tom Middleton, Z-Trip and Seb Fontaine. He was asked to make a well-received return appearance in the silent disco at Live at Squamish 2011. A relentless sourcer of fresh music and unearthed gems, Kristian's sound incorporates the best elements of house, funk and disco, spanning subtle, groovy basslines, cruisy hypnotic grooves, and peak-time shakers, but always with an eye on keeping the dancefloor moving. He has shared the booth with the likes of Phil K, Luke Fair, Paranoid Jack, Chloe Harris, Habersham, Akio, Dale Anderson, Kevin Shiu, and John Morgan. Kristian's dj influences include Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, Greg Wilson, Desyn Masiello and Terry Francis. He counts Echomen, The Revenge, Chab, 6th Borough Project, Asad Rizvi, and Psychemagik as some of his favourite producers. His first release "Acid Rephlux" was released on Powerplant Music in October, 2007. Backed with a remix by the talented Kriece from Australia, it spent four weeks on the Balance promo chart, peaking at 16. Further productions are currently in the works, including a series of funk and disco edits under the alias "Instant Phunk" (along with partner-in-crime John Morgan). Kristian has put together many well received mixes over the years, including the "Morning, Noon, and Night" trilogy, with John Morgan and Kiki Stewardson (both of Powerplant), and "Stickiest", voted one of the best-ever mixes aired on Frisky Radio.
