- Preditah has become a household name within the UK music scene and beyond for his cutting edge music productions, scoping from Garage through to House and the list continues on. He started out producing for local talent in his hometown Birmingham, UK and built his sound through self-taught production skills in his bedroom as a young teenager. Advancing through life, he decided to head to college to learn in depth music theory to add to his natural music talent. Whilst at University he had the big break he was hoping for when (Boy Better Know CEO) JME picked up on one of his Grime instrumentals titled (The Big Wok). He would often say to this day that it was that moment that started the hype to his career. He went on putting out a few EP’s with Logan Sama’s (Earth616) label and cemented his sound within the Grime scene. Producing countless amounts of tracks for the likes of Roll Deep, Boy Better Know plus many others, he was reaping all of the benefits from the groundwork he did within his hometown Birmingham. His career took another advance when he started DJ-ing across the country. He not only was getting insane crowd responses from his live mixing and blending but also had major co-signs from the likes of DJ EZ, David Rodigan & more! Whilst that was happening on the front end he was still in the studio putting out Official remixes for the likes of Disclosure, Gorgon City and Chase & Status just to name a few. He was bringing a fresh new take on said remixes that we’re predominately Garage and House which gave him respect from legends in the scene like Wookie. In 2017 life took a major turn when he collaborated with Jorja Smith on the Garage classic ‘On My Mind’ which gave him another advance in his career. He went on to sign a deal with Atlantic Records in 2018 and continued working on records with artists and song-writers that we’re on their roster. In 2019 he produced alongside Fred Again a top 10 charting record for Mist & Fredo titled So High’ and gained even more credibility within the UK music scene. 2021 he decided to go down the independent route and launched his own label ‘Dats Right Radio’ due to the shift of normality after Lockdown and has started putting out music he really wants to release without any limitation from A&R’s and managers. Now in his 30’s he recently stated that he will be pushing his musical vision further whilst still putting out music he loved on a regular bases.

💿 Sulta Selects Silver Service | Hot Haus Recs | 17 Steps | Remmah

Aaron Rutherford’s sound resists easy categorisation falling somewhere between left-field techno, trance, deep house and Italo. Having released EPs on Sulta Selects and Hot House Records, heard his tracks on Radio 1 and played support slots to industry heavyweights like Paul Woolford, Mella Dee, Jasper James, Brame & Hamo, DJ Seinfeld and HAAi, he now has his sights set on the clubs and festivals of Europe — and beyond.

Hailing from Manchester — home to 808 State, the Chemical Brothers, Autechre and the Hacienda — Rutherford was in good company when he first envisioned a career in electronic music. While studying at college his teacher encouraged him to try his hand at music production, which naturally led into learning how to DJ. By the age of 18 he was a regular at Warehouse Project parties underneath Piccadilly Station, experiences that began to shape the sound he’s still exploring today.

Like the city of his birth, Rutherford has always embraced rave culture, and he cites early trance records, Brame & Hamo, Hammer and Bicep as influences on his sound. Emotion, propulsive energy and a subtle, spine-tingling psychedelia are among the key pillars of his music, exemplified by the powerful ‘Lost Consequence’ and driving ‘Forgotten’, two of Rutherford’s first ever productions, ultimately signed and released on Denis Sulta’s record label Sulta Selects Silver Service.

Meeting Denis Sulta was an act of fate. In 2019 Rutherford was working in the sound team at Creamfields festival, but was gutted to miss Denis Sulta’s set as it clashed with a shift. Then on his way to catering he bumped into the superstar DJ and the two got talking. Two days later Denis Sulta downloaded both ‘Forgotten’ and ‘Lost Consequence’ and, unbeknown to Rutherford, spent the next two years playing them in his sets around the world. Denis Sulta eventually signed the two tracks to his label and asked for one more — the massive ‘Remember When’ — to complete the EP, which dropped both on vinyl and digitally in summer 2022.

Having since heard his tracks played at Glastonbury, Creamfields, the Warehouse Project, DC10, Amnesia, Kappa Futur and Exit Festival, the Remember When EP has proven to be a catalyst in Rutherford’s burgeoning career. The record’s followup Changing Contrast, four tracks of pulsating, highly emotive dance music, came late last year on DJ Haus’s Unknown To The Unknown sub-label Hot Haus. Followed up by ‘Weird Alchemy’ on Dusky’s legendary label 17 Steps.

2022 was also the year Rutherford established himself on the DJ circuit, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in the game. Following bookings at clubs like Mint in Leeds, Manchester’s Joshua Brooks and Liverpool’s Underground, last February also saw Rutherford play his first ever headline show with Denis Sulta and Sarah Story at Leeds venue the Warehouse. Followed up by his second headline show with Dusky at Joshua Brooks. With more shows planned, another EP on the way and new tracks coming at an increasing pace, 2024 looks set to be Rutherford’s biggest year yet.

K-Klass are responsible for some of the biggest house tracks ever made. They are all about entertaining and playing for the crowd. They play at various events and venues all over the world on a weekly basis, which means it is important that they adapt their music to suit each venue and expose all house music styles they master.

Nights out at the legendary Hacienda “Nude” nights in 1988 led to the meeting of minds and the beginnings of the K-Klass phenomena that lead to regular performances at the Hacienda. From there K-Klass became residents for the worlds biggest dance brands CREAM, playing guest slots all over the world at some of the most prestigious and biggest dance events K-Klass had already gained under-ground support for their acclaimed “Wildlife E.P”, released in 1990 before they unleashed their sound onto a nationwide audience with the release of “Rhythm is a Mystery” (No.3 in U.K.Top 40) and the huge “Let Me Show You” (No.13 in U.K.Top 40)

With countless remixes/ productions under their belt it comes as no surprise that K-Klass won the International Dance Awards in 1995 & were nominated for the USA Grammy Awards in the 2002 remix category. When K-Klass are not behind the decks they spend their time in the studio and have worked alongside most of the biggest and most established artists around, some of these include : The Pet Shop Boys, Kathy Brown, Shake Down, Whitney Houston, Gerri Halliwell, Blondie, Bobby Brown, M-People, Level 42, Kylie Minogue, Rozalla, Sunscreem, Frankie Knuckles, Bizzare Inc, Kathy Sledge, New Order, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Lisa Stansfield and Candi Staton and many, many more.

The last few years K-Klass have continued to create and release big tunes, like “Capture Me” on Nocturnal Groove (Shapeshifters label) “Right & Exact” on Stealth Records, “Bad Boy” on Hotfingers, “Let The Freak” ft. Reza on Mjuzieek Digital,  a collab with Rob Nutek “La Luna” on Whartone Records, “People Of All Nations”on Wazzup, a remake of their K-Klass 1994 hit “What Your Missing” on Lissat & Voltaxx and Marc Fisher’s Tactical Records, their massive rework of Duke’s “So In Love With You”, a smash remix for Eurovision winner Loreen’s single “Crying Out Your Name” for Warner Music Sweden and their latest deep house remix for Nicky Romero’s Protocol imprint on Tritonal & Paris Blohm ft. Sterling Fox – Colors .

Late 2012 the K-Klass have started their own label Klass Action, which will feature releases from up and coming as well as established producers and new K-Klass material. The first release setting the standard was “Rock The House”. Their single with Todd Terry called Just Come proved to be yet another smash and the latest release by Good & Plenty also gained widespread support.

K-Klass are still very much in demand on the production, remix and DJ-ing front, this year celebrating their 25 years in the business, with a K-Klass 25 comp through Newstate, a UK tour and their return as a full LIVE band for the first time in 18 years for an ecstatic Manchester crowd.

Ultimate DJ Moment:

“With over a 2 decade’s of memories to choose from, two of our high light’s that spring to mind would have to be when Graeme Park dropped “Rhythm Is A Mystery” at the world famous Hacienda nightclub back in 1991, and when we where very honored to play the final set in the main room at Cream’s last weekly night in Liverpool which was the 10th birthday. The last record we played was “Let Me Show You”, the Cream self made anthem”
