    image.pngKernzy:  Name : Paddy Kearns, Yob : 1977, Born : Kettering

    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: Name : Gav Kerr, Yob : 1976, Born : Loughborough

    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.

    The Duo: 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 which then turned into the boys first residency.
