Inspired equally by 1980s synth pop, Detroit techno, and Nordic folk-music, Karsten Pflum started experimenting with old synthesizers and sequencers in the middle of the 90's using the name Slaphead Faun.

After discarding that name he released his first album Tracks on the label Worm Interface in 2003, soon followed by EPs and full length releases on labels like Jenka Music, Tender Productions, Suburban Trash Industries, Mindwaves (where Slaphead Faun rose again as an album title), Ad Noiseam and Hymen Records (Ant-Zen). His music has been broadcast by famous British DJs John Peel, Mary Anne Hobbs and Karl Hyde of Underworld, and he has toured in places like Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, UK, Spain, Turkey and China.

Over the years he became part of the intriguing and very talented young Danish school of electronica and a driving force of the North European electronic music scene. Currently he lives in Berlin and studied electronic music at the academy in his former hometown of Aarhus.

In his work, he explores the boundaries of heavy bass driven dubstep, frantic d'n'b and breakcore, combining soulful soundscapes with complex rhythm programming and treatments.
