Klone:”As a small child I was blown away by Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” and have been in love with electronic music every since.”

Klone hails from a southern industrialist city, Birmingham Alabama, named after it’s UK counterpart and providing the ideal environment for urban expressionist music that is both melancholy, post apocalyptic and funky enough to move a dancefloor.

Klone has taken full advantage of this environment producing edgy music with synth leads that are both melancholy and pretty, sitting over tough beats and basslines that growl as much as they whomp and groove.
Following in a tradition of Muti artists who don’t stick to one tempo, Klone supplies four flavors that will fit right in with your 90 - 120 BPM collection.
Klone’s debut EP ‘The Push Effect’ is out on promo and exclusive rounds now and will be available everywhere in June 2009.

Grabbing his first turntables around 1999 being really into  breaks, electro then garage and progressive breaks and then developing a growing love of glitchy breaks and dubstep. Klone also draws on influences from early techno 91′-92′era (Altern 8, Prodigy, Moby, Acen, Eon, KLF, Apotheosis) and BASS driven music like Dynamix II & Magic Mike.

Keep your ears peeled for a lot more from Klone in the near future.

Scott Novich AKA Great Scott is a new find for us at Muti Music, having initially been turned on to his productions by ‘Undecided’ , we loved some of Scots glitched out chill productions and then were truly surprised when he started delivering some of the freshest uptempo breakbeat we’ve heard. Utilizing ‘Asian Beat’ flavours, driving basslines and strong funk influences Scott has managed to stand out from the crowd. The recent airplay on BBC radio confirmed that we were not alone in thinking so. Continue reading Artist - Great Scott…

Artist - Subvert

Introducing Subvert – pK / Muti Music / Rottun Recordings / Shambhala Music Festival.

What started out as an introduction and a remix project turned us ‘on’ to one of Canada’s rising stars of bass driven crunky beats in the form of “Subvert’.
His tracks have been doing promo rounds and have made regular appearances in the sets of Bassnectar, Ill Gates (The Phat Conductor) & Dov amongst others.

Subvert hails from Calgary, Alberta and his winding path in music started in 1996. Proof of his dedication to ‘Bass’ is in his track record of creating the world’s loudest competition vehicles, designing pK’s 90,000 watt sound system and managing the Village Stage at Shambhala Music Festival.
He started DJing in 2000 and combined with his extensive work on sound systems and attention to precision sound, he was ultimately & naturally led down the path to creating his own music productions and once again the low frequencies consumed him. Subvert’s sound is a combination of throbbing, relentless basslines, melodic strings and haunting pianos singing through midtempo glitch / acid crunk and dubstep. His attention to detail and the ability to tune into ‘bass that works’ can be felt in all of his music productions, he is an expert in the subsonic, the crowd and the show.

The past year has truly seen the emergence of Subvert as a recording artist, with a slew of new releases in the first half of 2008:
‘Subversion’ and ‘No Smokey Ganja’ on Rottun Recordings,
‘Bigtsteppa’ on Punch Out
and a recent remix of the Ill Gates smasher ‘Sweat Shop’ upcoming on Muti Music.
We are stoked to announce the forthcoming ‘Dirt Nap’ EP in addition to the ‘Sweat Shop’ remix coming out on Muti Music, the EP will include the tracks; ‘Size Matters’, ‘Curb Stomper’, ‘Dirt Nap’ and ‘Pump et Up’.
It’s all about the bass…..
