Koopmusic's Biography

Koopmusik, or Koop for short, is an emerging producer and DJ based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His passion for music and obsessive curiosity to explore the globe after college led him to countless clubs and festivals around the world, helping cultivate his characteristic sounds. Koopmusik draws heavy influences ranging from progressive & organic house to deep tech/minimal, indie dance, & melodic techno yet always balancing melody, emotion, and groove. Despite the broader range of melodic stylings, one thing for certain is Koopmusik doesn’t veer too far away from something that “thumps”.

Not seeing much change in his local scene over the years, Koopmusik decided to make that change happen himself in 2017 and bring the experiences he found worldwide to his hometown through his company, Longturn Music. Whether he’s putting on an event or playing a DJ set on stage, Koopmusik is always telling a story, making connections with the people around him, and helping them escape their reality, wishing it never had to end.

Koopmusik has been called upon over the years to support the likes of Chris Lake, Jody Wisternoff, Justin Martin, Nora En Pure, Hozho, Amtrac, Eli Escobar, Enamour, EDX, Simon Doty, Oona Dahl, Rodriguez Jr., HoneyLuv, Nhii, Rinzen, Audiojack, Nick Curly and more. When live events shut down in 2020, he began his production journey in the studio. Already seeing results with releases on the likes of Data Transmission, Andhera Records, Fruity Recordings, Deep Tech Recordings, MK837, Club Rapture, Suprematic Sounds, and Sounds of Khemit.

Since then he has been booked to play in Columbus, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Washington D.C., Portland, Denver, St. Louis, San Diego, Costa Rica, Tulum, and has been a mainstay at the Air Stage at Elements Music & Arts Festival the past four years.
