Sudden Def & Nuera - Put Your Hands Up   OUT NOW!! On Direct Recordings

History and pedigree count for a lot in the world of Drum & Bass. Luckily for Sudden Def, he has both in abundance. A history that stretches back to the early 90's and the legendary Reinforced Records, to whom he signed some of his earliest material after years spent on pirate radio playing tracks of the artists he would soon go on to emulate. An encounter with J Majik in 1993 led to Sudden Def having a number of releases on his seminal Infrared label, signalling the start of an association and friendship that would last over 20 years. The rest of the 90's saw Sudden Def continue to enhance his reputation. Not only as a producer, with further output on some of the most respected Jungle labels such as Deja Vu, Planet Earth and 786, but also as an engineer utilised by scene stalwarts.
 
Sudden Def's close bond with J Majik continued to bear musical fruit as the sound transitioned from Jungle into Drum & Bass. As keen a collaborator as he is a solo artist, there have been numerous link ups between himself, J Majik and Wickaman including Hologram & Shift Control featured on the Behind The Mask EP. Infrared feels like home to Keith; further releases on the label including Snarl, Something Deeper and Mike TV. Making up one part of the D&B crew REWIND, alongside Wickaman and DubRocca, has led to music on DJ Hype's Playaz and Andy C's Frequency Recordings. As a DJ he has played allngside some of the scene biggest and most respected DJ’s: Andy C, Friction, Goldie, DJ Hype and many more besides. A champion of new music with an always respectful nod to what came before it keeps Sudden Def very much in demand as a DJ.
 
With roots in acid house, hardcore, jungle, drum & bass and dubstep it's should come as no surprise that music is an all encompassing lifetime passion for Sudden Def. An unashamed music junkie, there's no option for him apart from continued involvement in a scene he's watched flourish from the very start. Planned releases on Infrared, BugHouse, Titan Records and Proximity Recordings, more collaborations and further waves of new music will continue to keep his momentum high in 2015 and beyond.
