Nights out at the legendary Hacienda “Nude” nights in 1988 led to the meeting of minds and the beginnings of the K-Klass phenomena that lead to regular performances at the Hacienda. From there K-Klass became residents for the worlds biggest dance brand “Cream”, playing guest slots all over the world at some of the most prestigious and biggest dance events K-Klass had already gained under-ground support for their acclaimed “Wildlife E.P”, released in 1990 before they unleashed their sound onto a nationwide audience with the release of “Rhythm is a Mystery” (No.3 in U.K.Top 40) and the huge“Let Me Show You” (No.13 in U.K.Top 40)
With countless remixes/ productions under their belt it comes as no surprise that K-Klass won the International Dance Awards in 1995 & were nominated for the USA Grammy Awards in the 2002 remix category. When K-Klass are not behind the decks they spend their time in the studio and have worked alongside most of the biggest and most established artists around, some of these include : The Pet Shop Boys, Kathy Brown, Shake Down, Whitney Houston, Gerri Halliwell, Blondie, Bobby Brown, M-People, Level 42, Kylie Minogue, Rozalla, Sunscreem, Frankie Knuckles, Bizzare Inc, Kathy Sledge, New Order, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Lisa Stansfield and Candi Staton plus many many more
The last few years K-Klass have continued to create and release big tunes, like “Capture Me” on Nocturnal Groove (Shapeshifters label) “Right & Exact” on Stealth Records, “Bad Boy” on Hotfingers, “Let The Freak” ft. Reza on Mjuzieek Digital, a collab with Rob Nutek “La Luna” on Whartone Records, “People Of All Nations”on Wazzup, a remake of their K-Klass 1994 hit “What Your Missing” on Lissat & Voltaxx and Marc Fisher’s Tactical Records, their massive rework of Duke’s “So In Love With You” and a smash remix for Eurovision winner Loreen’s new single”Crying Out Your Name” for Warner Music Sweden. Late 2012 the K-Klass have started their own label KLASS ACTION, which will feature releases from up and coming as well as established producers and new K-Klass material. The first release was “Rock The House”. Brand new collab with legendary Todd Terry to follow shortly.
K-Klass are still very much in demand on the production, remix and DJ-ing front, K-Klass are set to make their 25th year in dance music as successful as the previous 24 years!
Ultimate DJ Moment:
“With over a 2 decade’s of memories to choose from, two of our high light’s that spring to mind would have to be when Graeme Park dropped “Rhythm Is A Mystery” at the world famous Hacienda nightclub back in 1991, and when we where very honored to play the final set in the main room at Cream’s last weekly night in Liverpool which was the 10th birthday. The last record we played was “Let Me Show You”, the Cream self made anthem”

Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Run from the feds
When they come at my neck aye
Gold on my neck
And this mess kinda wet aye
Snowboard on this slope
Shaun White its extreme aye
They throw 223s
Acting like a gun decieve me
Rap says don't love these hoes
I just do what I know
Treat her like a queen like lightning
No Richard but my wrist be shining
You rich, no way
I could get rich inna day
Went through the maze
Jigga I been hall of fame
If I take ever take the shot
Why would I shoot for a lame
It ain't a delay
If you creep in the meadow
You gotta look out for the snakes
Can't hang with the snakes
Been in the garden of eden
Eating the grapes, but ima just
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
I gotta lot to say
I don't know what to say
Feel like my hope was like a crime
It was just snatched away
I like my water mixed with the lime
Call that lemonade
They been wining day from day
Like they had chardonnay
I do not care bout the cash
Can't go with me in the grave
I been tired that's why I been going mia
I been switching up my life
Like I was shifting lanes
Sometimes I don't get
Why I follow this dream
When I feel like I can't
I let people talk
They don't know who I am
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect

What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
Run from the feds
Can't trace my steps
Count all my bread Money I collect
It don't mean a thing
What did you achieve
I ain't got no llama
But this choppa still sing
The lyrics to K-Klass's song Satisfaction speak about a life of running from the authorities and keeping a low profile. The chorus repeats the line "Run from the feds, can't trace my steps, count all my bread, money I collect" which gives us a hint that the singer is trying to evade law enforcement while they amass a personal fortune. The singer seems apathetic towards the wealth and success they have obtained as they question its meaning and value in the line "It don't mean a thing, what did you achieve?"
The second verse continues with the theme of running from the feds and avoiding danger. The singer describes his flashy lifestyle, with gold on his neck and skiing down a slope like Shaun White. However, these extravagant indulgences are tarnished by the fear of gun violence and the feeling of being deceived. The in-between lines "Rap says don't love these hoes, I just do what I know" and "Treat her like a queen like lightning, no Richard but my wrist be shining" suggest a rap artist's casual attitude towards love and the display of wealth.
In the final verse, the singer expresses a sense of confusion with their life choices and the pursuit of their dreams. They reflect on the brevity of life and the value of money, concluding with the line "I let people talk, they don't know who I am". The song's chorus is repeated several times, reinforcing the idea of running from the law and collecting wealth while questioning its value.

Ignoring gossip and criticism
They don't know who I am
Others' opinions of me are irrelevant
