Hardly any other producer could make it to the top of the worldwide DJ elite in such a short time than Klaas. He influenced the German electro house sound significantly during the last years and remixed artists such as Guru Josh, Erick Morillo, DJ Antoine, Greg Cerrone, No Angels, Eddie Thoneick, Aston Martinez, Michael Mind, Global Deejays or DJ Disciple. However, never lost sight of his own productions.
Klaas cleared the way in 2006 with his remix of Micha Moor’s – ‘Space’. The Klaas Club-Mix turned out to be a worldwide success and was number one of Beatport but also the German Dance Charts for several weeks. He enjoyed worldwide support from DJ’s such as Bad Boy Bill, Moby, Tiesto or David Guetta.
The 2007 released Klaas single ‘The Way’ was a great opportunity for him to show his diversity in production innovation in the electro house area. ‘The Way’ climbed from 0 to # 2 of the German Dance Charts within the first week and stayed in the top 10 for several weeks of all relevant dance charts. The next release ‘Make You Feel’ also was positioned in the top 10 of the German Dance Charts and again a guaranteed intoxicating electro house production launched by Klaas.
Besides from the studio productions, Klaas has been touring the globe as DJ for a long time.Australia, New Zeeland, Scandinavia, U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Russia, France, UK – the list of gigs seems to be endless.
In spring 2008 Klaas succeeded in another coup. His remixes of the classics such as ‘Guru Josh – Infinity’, ‘Horny United - Crazy Paris’ or ‘G&G – My My My’ nearly all made it into the top 10 of the German Dance Charts at the same time. And as if that were not enough - the ‘Klaas-Mix’ of Guru Josh’s Infinity turned into a fast-selling item after a short period of time, which stayed in the top 20 of the German Single-Charts for half a year and had a peak position of rank # 4. Not only was Klass remixing Infinity, but was also responsible for the characteristic vocals of the original mix. As producer of the single, Klaas received several gold, silver and platinum rewards in Germany, Great Britain, Denmark and Norway. The official music video is one of the Top 45 most viewed videos on YouTube with 65.000 clicks and it’s even the world best dance track of 2008.
The subsequent chart hit ‘Klaas Meets Haddaway – What is Love 2K9’ was also in the top 10 of all dance charts and was seen in the French Top 20 for a long time. The following single ‘Our Own Way’ was even ranked number 7 in the French single charts.Due to the international success, further remix contracts were signed for Culcha Candela, Stromae, Lou Bega, Remady and the French super star Mylène Farmer.
The singles “Freak” and “I Like” in collaboration with the Bodybangers did not only reach the top of all dance charts, they also entered the German and Austrian single charts. The official video clip of “Freak” counts over 8 and the clip of “I Like” over 5 million views on YouTube.
Just about six weeks after his massive "Grape EP", Klaas comes up with the next strike! His new 2-Tracker "Wild Beast" seems to be even bigger than the last one. Klaas delivers two quality tracks with emotional synth melodies in the breaks, followed by enormous basslines. Unleash this beast!
