K-Klass is a house music group from Wrexham, North Wales. Signed to Deconstruction Records, and later to Parlophone Records, the members are Andy Williams, Carl Thomas, Russ Morgan, and Paul Roberts. Williams and Thomas, from Wrexham, teamed up with Morgan and Roberts, from Chester, after meeting at The Haçienda in Manchester during the 1980s.

:"We all met at the Hacienda in 1988. We had met before, though. Me and Carl had done some gigs in Chester supporting 808 State. Andy and Carl were already pretty established, but we had no gear at the time - it was basically an SH-101 and a little Tandy mixer". - Paul Roberts [ [http://www.somewhere4u.co.uk/djpages/kklass.html K-Klass biography] on somwhere4u.co.uk]

After recording the "Wildlife EP", K-Klass's first major hit was “Rhythm is a Mystery,” sung by Bobbi Depasois, released in 1991. The track reached number 3 on the UK chart. "Let Me Show You" reached number 13 in 1993. Subsequently, the band purchased a disused Royal Observer Corps underground bunker in Borras for use as a recording studio. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1042964.stm Former nuclear bunker for sale] - BBC website 27 November 2000, recovered 8 November 2006] The group has released two albums, "Universal", featuring the vocals of Bobbi Depasois, and "K2". In 1995, K-Klass won the I.D.A Best International Remixer award; the first ever UK artist to do so.

K-Klass has played many live events, including stints at superclubs in Liverpool, Sheffield, Hong Kong, and Ibiza. [ [http://www.somewhere4u.co.uk/djpages/kklass.html K-Klass biography] on somwhere4u.co.uk]

Since then, they have also been involved with producing and remixing tracks by other artists. K-Klass was one of the producers on the Pet Shop Boys album "Bilingual", and have also produced Candi Staton, Rebekah Ryan, and Rosie Gaines.

The group has remixed tracks by varied dance and pop artists including Sunscreem, Kylie Minogue, Geri Halliwell, S Club 7 ("Bring It All Back"), and M People. Their remix of Baby Come On Over by Samantha Mumba was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002 in the Best Remix Category.
