Sven Sieperda, known professionally as KELTEK, is a Dutch hardstyle artist, famous for his energetic melodies and big sounds. In 2017 he launched the KELTEK project, which is focused solely on hardstyle music. In the same year, he signed with the record label Scantraxx, and released “Down To Earth,” which firmly reintroduced his massive impact on the scene. Shortly thereafter at the beginning of 2018, he released “Dance The Way I am.” It received critical acclaim and began generating momentum for what was in store for him that year with Through The Night, Kick Off (Rebirth 2018 OST), Dark Sun (voted as number 8 in the Q-dance top 100 voting of 2018) and Valkyries (used in multiple endshows of events such as Electric Love and Mysteryland). In the same fashion, he continued his prolific performances in 2019 with tracks such as “Edge of Existence (Reverze 2019 anthem),” One Tribe (Defqon.1 2019 anthem), his solo track “Oblivion,” and “Break The Game” (with Sub Zero Project). In 2020, he’s had multiple musical successes, starting in January with a collaboration with Diandra Faye with the song “Kingdom Comes”. Then two months later he released “Arriba” with Psyko Punkz & Coone, which had millions of streams within just a few months after its release. Later on, he released “One Of Us” With Sound Rush. Last but not least he was responsible for the official Intents Festival Anthem 2020 together with B-Front. To wrap up the year he worked together with Q-dance on the production of The Alignment, as part of the Qlimax movie, which was also published on Netflix.

In the two years of the worldwide COVID lockdowns, KELTEK kept on releasing on a consistent basis, for example by remixing Angels & Demons from D-Block & S-te-Fan. Later that year he also released his official version of Awaken, which is originally from League Of Legends.

At the end of 2022, he presented his live-act “The Compass” a full-scale production featuring visuals, timecoded, and a new identity. The concept is based around the “vegvisir”, an Icelandic icon that helps the one that holds it find their way through treacherous weather. The concept was introduced for the first time in the official video clip of Way Back Home which was filmed on location in Iceland.

Internationally, KELTEK has performed live in Australia, Chile, Singapore, South-Korea, Mexico, and every country in Europe. He has also appeared in other big shows such as Qlimax, Defqon.1, Tomorrowland, Intents, Decibel, Reverze, Airbeat One, Electric Love, Sziget and The Qontinent. So far in 2023 the agenda of KELTEK looks great, with highlights such as playing at the Gathering of Defqon.1, Tomorrowland, FABRIK and Mysteryland to mention just a few.
