Kernzy started mixing in 1992 playing early hardcore. Continued playing hardcore / happy hardcore up until about 1997 when he decided it wasnt giving him the buzz that the original hardcore sound was, picked up on speed garage for 6 months or so before abandoning that for hardhouse, which he has been playing ever since.
Klemenza began back in 1995 during the happy hardcore explosion, continued with this sound for the next 2 years, dabbled in the speed garage scene for a short time where he met up with Kernzy (who had already decided that garage wasnt for him) and started playing with a few hardhouse tunes he'd picked up.
It wasnt long before the idea of teaming up as a double act was suggested and K&K was born!
The only thing was that Klemenza was still using his old dj name & "Kernzy & Skippy" didnt sound too hot so a new name was needed!
It was during a GODFATHER marathon (where kernzy made klemenza watch all 3 movies back 2 back) when the name of one of the gangsters caught the boys ears. "Clemensa"........ It had a nice ring to it and with a few alterations to the spelling, Gav had a new identity!
After 3 years of constantly sending out mixtapes to everyone & anyone via the internet, standing outside clubs dishing out freebies & promoting their name in any way possible it was inevitable that people would start talking and it was December 2000 when Sundissential promoter MADDERS rang the boys to offer them a set in the main room of the Sanctuary for HARDHOUSE HEAVEN.
The year that followed saw the boys play at an array of clubs all across the country gradually building a bigger name for themselfs as they went along and it was this that caught the eye of CARLA LAIDLA @Titchy Bitch records who offered to take them onboard TITCHY BITCH ARTIST MANAGEMENT.
