KRL
Open-Format DJ / Custom Visuals / Professional Sound
I'm Karl Krusel, professionally known as KRL. A Grand Rapids based DJ originally from Traverse City, focused on creating the right atmosphere through music, visuals, and professional sound.
Reading the room. Owning the night.
I'm an open-format DJ who knows how to connect with both younger and older crowds. My focus is reading the room, keeping people engaged, and playing music that fits the setting — top hits, house, drum and bass, dubstep, throwbacks, and crowd-friendly cuts depending on the venue and event.
A full audio-visual experience.
