Klute
The musical career of Tom Withers began way before the sounds of drum and bass or even hardcore had first emerged. He fronted a succesfull skate punk outfit The Stupids during the late 1980s, before venturing into electronic music and starting his own solo career.
From acid house and techno he made a natural progression into rave and then hardcore before playing his first gigs as a drum and bass DJ around 1996. His rebel roots and punk attitude created Klute’s trademark: an ability to combine a multitude of influences in his music, from techno to thrash to dub.
Klute’s early forays into jungle brought several outings on the seminal Certificate 18 label and a relationship grew that resulted in the release of his first artist album, in 1998. Klute went on to release a further album on Certificate 18 in 2000, before he set up his own imprint.
Klute kicked off Commercial Suicide with the genre-defying classic “Tranceformat” in 2001 and set the tone for the label that has since come to be held in the highest regard. Releases from the likes of Calibre, Digital, Spirit, Hive and Juju, and later SKC and Amit, raised the label’s profile and helped build a reputation for varied output across the specturm of drum and bass, testing both musical boundaries and the dancefloor.
Mixing heart-stopping melodies with relentless beats, Klute has developed a sound that is very much his own and one that appeals to a broad audience. His latest LP, “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, gives the fullest representation of his sound yet, however, taking the listener through a spectrum of styles.
Equally when playing, Klute always brings a fresh and varied selection with the same high energy levels as his productions are known for. So far this year he’s played gigs all over the UK and Europe as well as tours in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia to include Japan, Korea, China, and even Vladivostok and has shown no signs of stopping yet.
Mary Anne Hobbs
Radio 1 firebrand at the helm of the pioneering Experimental electronic show (formerly known as the Breezeblock), Mary Anne is pushing next generation dubstep, grime, drum&bass, hip-hop, techno, dark dancefloor and radical electronic flavaz in every form. Just a handful of guests you'll have found mixing and in session on the show include The Beastie Boys, Bjork, Burial, Squarepusher, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Amon Tobin, Jeff Mills, Trentmoller, Rhythm& Sound, Santogold, Justice, Kano, Radiohead, Metallica, Photek, Mike Patton, Autechre, besides of course all the leading dubstep artists. Her 'Dubstep Warz' show for Radio1 in January 2006 is widely regarded as the show that broke the dubstep sound globally, and she followed this in August 2008 with the 'Generation Bass' special curated at her invitation by the original Dubstep Warz DJs. Mary Anne released a definitive underground compilation album in June 2008 'Evangeline' on the Planet Mu label, following her notorious debut for the label 'Warrior Dubz' in October 2006. This year Mary Anne curated for the 2nd time stage at Sonar Festival, following the historic UK Dubstep Showcase at Sonar Festival in 2007, taking the sound out of small humid clubs for the very first time and onto an international festival stage. Before coming to BBC Radio 1 in 1997, Mary Anne was writing for Sounds, NME and Loaded, and was working for BBC GLR and XFM. Working for BBC Radio 1, Mary Anne hosted shows from all the major award ceremonies: Q, NME, Brits, Kerrang, Mercury Music Prize… and made documentaries about artists as diverse as David Bowie, Slipknot and The Sex Pistols. She founded and fronted the award-winning Radio 1 Rock Show for five years, fronted 27 hours of live coverage at Glastonbury Festival for the BBC, and much more...
Zomby
Zomby comes from nowhere and is already dead. Enigmatic UK producer, Zomby makes rave music, but often cramming everything from rave, grime, crunk and dubstep to garage, jackin' house, Nintendo and bassline into whatever space he can, and without compromising the songs as a whole. Zomby's demo tracks were played by Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio One's Breezeblock and then quickly gathered support from DJ's such as Kode 9, Skream, Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Tayo, Diplo, Modeselektor, Matt Shadetek, and many more. Zomby released several 12” singles, before he released his debut full-length “Where Were U In '92?”, out on Werk Records. Zomby´s music can be heard broadcasted worldwide on radio stations pirate and legal such as Rinse FM, Kiss FM, Radio 1, 1XTRA, React FM, Freeze FM, Sub FM and many more, as well as at clubs and raves worldwide. Zomby is Contributing Music Editor at SUPERSUPER Magazine (London) and also contributes to MAD DECENT Blogspot. www.maddecent.com/blog/ December will see him release a new EP for Hyperdub, home to Burial and Kode9.
