With the New Zealand scene devouring Klutes music at an alarming rate, we felt it was time for the man to visit us in the flesh to treat us to his innovative vision from behind a set of Technics 1210's.

KLUTE (Certificate 18, Metalheadz, 31 Records)

"To me drum & bass is a form of music which has always been out on a limb and the tracks that have shocked me are those that have expanded on what went before them", explains Tom. "Whether that's people using the technology in ways that you're not supposed to or just turning around sounds in different ways. As far as I am concerned people taking chances is the future and I would like to think that my material falls into that category."

Easily one of the most exciting producer / DJ's on the Drum and Bass scene at present, and with current or forthcoming releases on labels like Metalheadz, 31 Records, Certificate 18, and his very own Commercial Suicide, Mr Tom Withers is carving his mark at the extreme frontiers of our beloved music.
