BKS is a Toronto-based techno group created by radio DJ Chris Sheppard, with other members Hennie Bekker and Greg Kavanagh. (BKS = Bekker, Kavanagh, Sheppard)

The band are most famous for collaborating with hockey personality Don Cherry on the song "Rock Em Sock Em Techno", which was named by MuchMusic as the worst video of 1993, although the video sold in excess of 550,000 copies, making it one of the most successful selling music videos of all time. The band's other hits included "Take Control" and "The Square Dance Song" (a collaboration with Ashley MacIsaac). Their singles I'm In Love With You & Living In Ecstasy, both #1 Club Hits, remain strong club and radio mix show favorites even today. Their single Astroplane won a Juno in 1996. B.K.S sold millions through the revolution of the DJ and MuchMusic promoted CD compilations.
