Tim Nelson

Timothy Lawrence Nelson, known professionally as Karma Fields and TimFromTheHouse, is an American musician, DJ, and record producer from Santa Barbara, California, currently based in Los Angeles.

Having started off producing music as Betatraxx, Nelson signed to Monstercat in 2015 as Karma Fields and released his debut album, New Age | Dark Age, one year later. His second album, BODY RUSH, was self-released in 2019.

Nelson is also a member of electronic supergroup Associanu.

Origins Nelson began uploading remixes of popular songs to YouTube in 2009, under the name TheRedlightRemixes. His first upload was a remix of Beyoncé's Control.

2010-2014: Betatraxx Having started uploading music to his YouTube channel, Nelson began using the name "Redlight Betatraxx", before eventually deciding to exclusively use Betatraxx (occasionally stylized as BetaTraxx or BetatraXx) as his name in 2010. A classical version of the song was released on June 9. Nelson released the Shapes and Sizes EP on September 30. His final release as Betatraxx was a remix of Pr0files' Forgive, released on November 12 of that year.

2015-2016: Karma Fields debut, first album, and The HEX On February 3, 2015, Nelson uploaded a teaser video for a new project, Karma Fields, to the project's YouTube channel. The teaser contained visuals by Chinese visual artist and programmer Raven Kwok (郭銳文), as well as a demo of a then-unreleased song from Karma Fields' upcoming debut album.

Later that month, on February 24, during the 47th episode of the Monstercat Podcast, the livestream appeared to be hacked, with a trailer for the music video of Karma Fields' debut song, Build The Cities, featuring Estonian singer Kerli, interrupting the stream. However, this has been omitted in the official reupload of the episode, with only fan reuploads capturing it. On March 2, the music video for Build The Cities was officially released. In an interview with Billboard, Kwok explained, "Every time I run the system, it will produce a different visual outcome due to randomness of the initial parameters, so the music video itself is an organized yet unpredicted outcome." The full remix compilation, titled Build The Cities (Reconstructions), was released on May 27.

On September 14, the second Karma Fields single, Skyline, was announced. Three days later, Nelson posted a preview of the "beta" version of Skyline. Skyline was officially released on September 21. Like Build The Cities, Skyline |March 2, 2016
