O ONEDEFINED (Karim) is a Dutch-born techno producer, DJ and label owner with Moroccan roots. A multidisciplinary artist with a sixth sense for electronic music. Started in 2008 with Dutch House music, making and playing loud bleeps and beats in many clubs across Holland using another dj-name.

BACKGROUND STORY
During the rising times of electronic music in 2008, it was inevitable to come in touch with Dutch House music. Many Dutch DJ’s and producers contributed to the foundation for an upbeat sound that would later travel around the world by the name of EDM. Techno raves and festivals were increasingly growing at the same time, taking the music from the underground rivers to the mainstream.
Between best of both worlds, ONEDEFINED was born.
THE STORY
NEVER STOP BELIEVING
ALWAYS STAY ON TOP OF YOUR GAME
ONEDEFINED’s music taste started with loud bleeps and bass – and changed after his techno clubbing experiences in 2010.
His first encounter with techno happened at Awakenings and Time Warp. Responsible for serious impact when it comes to techno raves at large scale.
A more intimate approach happened at Doornroosje, Nijmegen where the infamous ‘Planet Rose’ nights provided real and intense underground techno rave experiences.
At one of these nights the darker and more intrinsic sides of electronic music were revealed to ONEDEFINED, leaving a transformative imprint. Diving deeper into the consistency of tight four-on-the-floor beats and and lower bass lines.
The more detailed mixing skills, the power of consistency and the solid and low frequency bass lines recognized within techno music opened doors to a whole new dimension within the field of electronic music for ONEDEFINED.
After winning a global producer contest in 2012, a fully cared for IBIZA Dreamtrip & Club experience happened, the same year FACK IT. came to light as golden key to organize the first notorious Fack It – The Rave at the Hall of Fame in Tilburg. These events had major impact on the vision for making and playing music.
If you want to understand the complete story of ONEDEFINED, know that between 2008 and 2014 Silky Bastard was the name being used for making and performing electronic music live on stage. After discovering techno the decision was made to stop this well-running DJ career and start over with a different name. A name that compliments a certain mindset; a certain vision. The name ONEDEFINED came to light in 2015 as the right name to continue the journey.
The endless musical creativity and fack it lifestyle on top of that were great additions for the inspiration to start a record label with a clothing brand and the start to release music independently with Fack It Records.
