Two Fingers DJ SET 2013

Klute's taste and the man's command of intricate, rowdy and yet still quite slinky drum & bass music has long had him up on the underground pedestal. His Commercial Suicide label, as the name suggests, takes risks on releasing music for (and by) people who appreciate the finer workings of face paced, jungle influenced soundsystem music. But that doesn't mean that what he makes, releases and plays is necessarily a combination of any of those things. And whilst I appreciate that there's a sense of sweeping disregard in that last statement, there was definitely meant to be - Klute's consistently remained relevant by being resolute, sticking to his guns and working with music he believes in. 

That concentrated focus is undoubtedly one thing he shares with a lot of people who run a lot of record labels - or run their own operations for the upkeep of their own sanity - but when you think about the legacy of drum & bass, which is by design quite a young genre, there's a real synergy between Klute's operation and that of Goldie's Metalheadz label. Fastidious and committed to the advancement of their chosen form of music, the two parties feel like they were made for each other; which is why we're stoked to welcome Klute to the next Metalheadz takeover of Room One on 1st May. His appearance on that lineup really does tick a whole lot of d&b boxes, so we reached out and asked him if he wanted to do something to mark the occasion. He did this...

Critical Music | Ivy Lab #DNB60 | BBC Radio 1 [Friction D&B Show]

Spring is in the air – and it feels like the countdown to SUNANDBASS 2015 is truly underway! 

What better way to celebrate this than to have a brand new SUNANDBASS Podcast from some of the biggest legends in the drum and bass scene – Total Science! 

Releasing records together since 1996 (and individually since 1991!), the guys have since graced the scene with 3 LP’s and hundreds of singles and EP’s, their contribution to the drum and bass landscape both essential and highly influential.

Their SUNANDBASS Podcast is typical of their style when behind the 1’s and 2’s. It’s absolutely chock full of fresh and unheard tracks – and ranges from the more melodic side of the spectrum, through to the harder and more rolling style too. 

Total Science just like good music and you can hear it here - if you want to get to know some of the tracks that are sure to be new drum and bass essentials in the coming months, check this!

BBC Radio 1 - Blocks & Escher (Metalheadz, Narratives) Interview & guest mix - 31st August 2015

Today, the online music portal of Mixmag magazine published an article commemorating some of the women who have shaped and contributed to the progression of electronic music. Taking into account the state of the underground and contemporary clubbing landscape we know today, amongst the various vanguards like Donna Summer and Heather Heart were Metalheadz co-founder and the second to none selector, DJ Storm. Renowned for her a pivotal part in the formation of a subculture fuelled by warehouse raves and momentous soundsystems and her close connoisseurs and fellow Metalheadz operators, Goldie and the late DJ Kemistry, the superbly progressive strain of drum & bass and the unadulterated territories that came with that time were critical in the ever evolving electronic movement. Even now, her role in the scene today is as imperative as ever, representing a label and a sound that’s still flourishing some 25 years later. 

A week on Friday Storm will once again link with her Metalheadz crew as the label takes hold of our Room One to toast the launch of label signee Mikal's debut album. To give us a snippet of what's in store the DJ aptly dubbed ‘the first lady of drum & bass’ has graciously taken the time to pull together another of her excercises in first class selections in this brand new and exclusive promo mix.
