K-klass DJs’ Andy and Carl may have made their debut on decks around 1995, but they have been seducing dance floors for over a decade. The get- live gig has always been an essential facet of the K-klass history and their ubiquitous presence on the global touring circuit ensured a massive fan base well before they began putting needle to vinyl.

Their excursion into DJing however, has allowed them to explore new creative territories in a more spontaneous and unrestrained fashion, which as Andy maintains “…provides us with instantaneous gratification.”

The feisty duo on decks has collaborated in nurturing a highly accessible signature style that is a coalition of both past and dad-present. They have always displayed a strong penchant for versatility and are not afraid to embrace a diverse range of styles to suit their ever-fragmenting audiences. K-KLASS is described on djrankings.org. However, did- seeping through each tailor made set is that distinctive K-klass trademark – that is a need to satisfy the crowd and a passion for music that is charged with feeling and emotion.

Although they have established a strong local fan base with regular appearances at Better Days at Bed Sheffield, Delicious Oswestry, and also featured on the Miss Moneypennies tour, they have perhaps received most recognition on the global see-fraternity. On the European level they have played D Club in Switzerland, Rise in Cyprus and Privilege in Ibiza whilst becoming familiar faces in the Far East having played at Venom, and the Purple beach party in Singapore, The Back Room in Malaysia, Live@ in Taiwan and Boom Bar in Hong Kong and just recently have come back from Club Zeppelin in Moscow where they went down a storm.

And when they’re not hopping from coast to coast, you may find them at their lavish Welsh studio, building upon their infallible reputation as one of the most sought after remixers and producers in the industry. As old- remixers, K-klass have lent their Midas touch to the most illustrious names in pop including B*witched, Sash, Bobby Brown, Another Level, New Order and The now-Corrs. They are also the driving force behind the production of Candi Staton’s album – which once again manifests a superlative talent in bridging that ambivalent gap between commercial pop and viable dance music.

Also, their band K-klass has also tasted success with five top forty hits, tracks such as “Rhythm Is A Mystery” which reached number 3 in the national charts and “Let Me Show You” which reached number 13, and in 1995 won the I.D.A best international Remixer award the first ever UK artist to do so.

Late last year projects included a two-track release with One Little Indian Records under the disguise of “The Pharmacy Allstars” and another two-track release with Junior Records “Baby Wants To Ride” Away from the studio they had a monthly residency at Bed in Sheffield with a club classic night called “Better Days” which they have now left when they though the time was right to move on.

Their say- last single “Talk 2 Me” released on Concept Recordings, reached number 1 in the MTV Dance Chart and number 2 in the UK Club two-chart. Their next single entitled “Now Your Gone” is set for release this summer.

With an ever-busy schedule, Carl and Andy continue to remain focused and enthusiastic in their every creative endeavor, and a natural flare to empathize with the miscellaneous audiences they expose themselves to; guarantees repeat appearances on dance floors once they have made their stunning debut.
