KING KARIM

As a DJ, producer, and event manager, King Karim has been at the forefront of Melbourne’s trance scene for decades. Having mastered the art of vinyl mixing before becoming a resident DJ at the iconic Viper Room in 1999, Karim has been a pivotal figure in shaping the city’s club culture. His contributions include mixing the highly acclaimed Viper Room Vol 3 compilation CD and national tour, co-producing SanTrancisco (Blackhole Recordings/Mike Felks) and continuing to co-organise a myriad of events including Lick, Club Disco, Temple and most notably the legendary Viper Room parties.

Reflecting on his journey with Viper Room, Karim shares, “For over 25 years, Viper Room has been my life. The people, the music, the atmosphere—it all merges into one euphoric experience. As a Viper DJ, it’s the ultimate convergence of trance sub-genres—progressive, vocal, uplifting, tech, and hard. There’s nothing quite like seeing a packed dance floor of smiling faces and knowing we’re creating unforgettable memories together.”

Driven by a deep passion for trance, his years of experience and unique ability to blend in ear candy samples has solidified his reputation as a true ambassador for the Viper Room brand and the Melbourne trance community, consistently delivering electrifying performances that resonate with audiences old and new.
