KLAAS
Klaas’ fascination of putting on electronic sounds was aroused within the
Cologne club scene in the late 90ies: He debuted with several releases and
approached ambitiously the art of mixing sounds. Soon after, the open-
minded Cologne based DJ moved forward to the energetic electro-sound
producing his first electro-vinyl Slip & Slide with Micha Moor for the Cologne
label Scream and Shout Recordings, which paved directly the way onto the
playlists of reputable DJ celebrities. From then on, there was no way to stop
him making a go of his passion.
The releases Get Twisted and Confession were placed in the Top 5 of the
German Dance Charts. Following remixes for several DJs like Dr. Kucho &
Gregor Salto, John Morley, Chrissi D! and Jens Lissat, Klaas prepared the UK
Chart-Act The Freelance Hellraiser and, together with another Sony BMG UK-
Act, the remix Klaas vs. I’m Finn – I Love You at the end of 2006.
His distinctively energetic style of sound is also convincing for his Swiss
followings. Accordingly, no less than DJ Antoine ordered a Klaas remix DJ
Antoine – This Time, which is included within a Egoiste release.
Following the worldwide resonance, remix inquiries of pop music celebrities
won’t be long in coming. Only a few weeks ago, Klaas mixed the single
version of “No Angels – Goodbye To Yesterday” by transforming the popstars-
like sound to an electronical house-mix – excellently suitable for clubs.
However the Cologne whiz kid is unstoppable: Despite several remixes
amongst others for Eddie Thoneick, Aston Martinez, Michael Mind and Global
Deejays he focuses constantly on his own productions: So, the new release
Micha Moor – Music is Dope produced by Klaas&MichaMoor came in april.
Also for his Scream&Shout co-worker Micha Moor he worked out even a dual-
remake of the forthcoming release “Micha Moor – Space” and delivered two as
usal massive but independed mixes.
The “Klaas Club Mix” became a worldwide success and topped both the
Beatport and German Dance Charts at number 1 slot for weeks.
Finally in November of 2007 Klaas´ higly anticipated third solo-single “The
Way” is released, by which Klaas is setting new standards. With his three solid
clubmixes he shows his wide range variety in the electrohouse genre. At once
in the first week “The Way” was placed at number 2 slot of the German Dance
Charts.
Just back from his almost three-week dj-tour through Australia and
Newzealand he made in the beginning of 2008 his new reworks of well known
classics like „Guru Josh - Infinity“, „Horny United - Crazy Paris“, or “G&G – My
My My”.
All of these records made the way to the top 10 of the German Dance Charts.
Shortly after this his remix of DJ Disciples - Work it out was released.
A logical result of his immensely qualitative output was the nomination at the
"Beatport Music Awards 2008” at which Klaas was nominated as one of the 10
worldwide best Electro House Artists.
Further dj-tours of Canada and Australia make his fourth release only in May
2008 possible.
To “Feel The Love” he contributed again three strong mixes and thus he
proved once more his extreme flexibility and versitality as an Electro-House
producer.
