Klute
Klute (born Tim Withers) has been a well known fixture on the drum'n'bass scene for over eight years, releasing for the likes of Metalheadz, 31 Records, Hospital and his early stable Certificate 18, responsible for releasing his first two albums ‘Casual Bodies’ and ‘Fear Of People’. In 2001 Klute created his own imprint Commercial Suicide in order to have more creative input in his releases and provide a support network for the ever increasing new generation of like minded producers. So far the label has released original tracks from other producers such as Calibre, Digital, Total Science, Concord Dawn, and Austrian prodigy D-Kay.
Klute's third instalment of album experimentation has taken on a life of its own of late. The result? Not one but two albums of future thinking electronic magic.
The first CD (‘Lie, Cheat And Steal’) is an inimitable announcement of intent to a genre that rarely dips below its own stale surface., and is an inimitable announcement of intent to the drum'n'bass genre, a marriage of musicality and dancefloor appeal – perfect for both clubs and living rooms. This CD features the the drum'n'bass hits ‘Part Of Me’ and ‘Song Seller’, and a monstrous remix of the legendary ‘Glue Sniffer’.
Compliment this with the down tempo/techno project on CD2 (‘You Should Be Ashamed’), which is its perfect companion with its downtempo and techno beats, and together you have a legacy fitting of a producer with the depth of knowledge and experience as Klute.
