KLUTE
'LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL'
COMMERCIAL SUICIDE
2LP (3x)/2CD
(JUNE 2003)
Klute, the uncompromising drum'n'bass phenomenon has returned
to the album arena, with his third long player ‘Lie Cheat And
Steal’ on his own Commercial Suicide label.
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, 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.
