Biography

Korb was born in Füssen, Bavaria on 18 June 1990. Originally from the Allgäu region, he moved to Munich at the age of 18, where he began an apprenticeship as a hotel manager. During his apprenticeship, he increasingly encountered electronic music, which he continued to pursue. In 2011, Korb founded the record label Zuckerton Records, which focuses on electronic dance music, and in 2019, the record label Outworld. Klangkuenstler's first performance at the techno club Ritter Butzke led him to move to the German capital, Berlin, in the summer of 2012. His first album, titled Das bin ich, was released in 2013. He played electronic music, such as deep and tech house, until he increasingly produced techno music in 2018. In October 2023, the founding of a new label with an integrated artist agency together with the German DJ Kobosil was announced. The project, which also includes the fashion lines of the two artists, is called Tote Sonne (Dead Sun).
