A.k.a. Chris Sauer

BK Duke started his career by mixing vinyl at school parties and smaller events. At the age of 18 he became resident DJ at Club California in Munich, Germany. Funk and Soul were his passion at that time and in the Eighties his style changed significantly to House. In 1997, after many years of experience in the House scene and many shows on big snowboard-events throughout Austria, Switzerland and Germany, he opened his own House club in Nuremberg, Germany. On New Year's Eve 2000 he DJ'ed for thousands of people in front of "Brandenburger Tor" in Germany's capital Berlin. Shortly after that he DJ'ed on ARD (German TV channel) and in the following years he annually played for Ikea, the Swedish furniture company (also more than 10,000 people) in Nuremberg, Germany. As a celebrity DJ he has mixed for Escada, Laurel, Instyle Magazine, Patek Philippe, David Coulthard, Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) and also at Vladimir Klitschko's birthday party. In 2005 he founded his own record label called Diamondhouse Records. In recent years he has been travelling around the globe with his DJ team "Electric Blaze" and live house project "Treasure Room". In the past two decades he has produced more than 100 original songs and remixed for the likes of Chris Lake, Bob Sinclar, Milk & Sugar, JCA, Barbara Tucker, Bongoloverz and Major Boys. Next to his own songs and remixes BK Duke is producing for his live house project "Treasure Room" and is responsible for many further productions of various DJ colleagues.
