"If you gaze into the heart of drum & bass and then look slightly to the left, you’ll find a slightly scruffy man, staring lovingly back towards the centre. That man is undoubtedly Tom Withers, best known as drum & bass artist Klute. "
depois de um fim de ano memorável, a bass republic volta a carga no sábado, dia 20 de janeiro, no portorio. o responsável pela celebração será o inglês KLUTE, que volta ao porto para apresentar o seu novo album - ainda sem nome - que tem lançamento previsto para março, pela sua própria label a commercial suicide. a bass republic volta assim a apostar num nome de peso, afastado dos circuitos mais comerciais, com uma visão muito própria do drum'n'bass. a acompanhar o inglês vão estar BASTIAN da bass republic, MAIA da cinética e TRAP do massive de braga. enquanto o upperdeck do portorio servirá como chill out às densidades mais negras e pesados do main floor, ficando a cargo de SPOT e PROF, sendo de esperar muito funk e hip-hop.
KLUTE BIO
[size=75]Klute has been a fixture on the Drum and Bass scene for over a decade, lending his creativity to the likes of Metalheadz, 31 Records and his early stable Certificate 18, responsible for releasing his first two albums, Casual Bodies and Fear of People. In 2001 his own Commercial Suicide imprint was borne out of a necessity on Klute’s part to control his own releases as well as provide a support network for the ever increasing new generation of like minded producers. So far the label has seen releases by Klute himself, Calibre, Amit, AI, Tactile, Total Science, Digital, and Austrian prodigy D.Kay. Previous to this much lauded and rebellious electronic career, Klute fronted legendary Skate-Punk outfit, ‘The Stupids’, an apt schooling for a producer with this unique level of eclecticism.
But how did we arrive at this point? In his own words Tom recalls: “after releasing my last album Fear of People on certificate 18 in 2000 I decided to spend the next eighteen months getting back to my roots as a drum and bass artist.â€
