As a special gift and introduction to Klone :
- Download This Free Tune - Klone - Throwback
Klone:”As a small child I was blown away by Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” and have been in love with electronic music every since.”
Our second new signing to Muti Music of 2009 is also our second south US based producer and he’s already receiving comparisons to another southern US based producer , i.e. Bil Bless AKA SOTEG / Disciple Grin .
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.
A huge supporter of outdoor music festivals, Swami can frequently be found at your local campout, crashing through the brush with a bottle of wine, shaking squirrels from their trees with bass or trying to perfect the art of corned beef hash on a propane stove…
The sound of his forthcoming album : - ‘Here For Now’ - is stylistically similar to Muti Music artists Mimosa, Heyoka, Knowa KnowOne, Nanda and Timonkey who blend urban influences with chopped up vocals, strong instrumental melodies and oscillating basslines.
Seventh Swami has emerged through performing with San Francisco’s ‘Ambient Mafia’ crew and his style is reflective of US west coast emerging downtempo sounds.
SeventhSwami’s debut album ‘Here For Now’ comes out on Muti Music on 04/20/09
We’ve compiled some of the recent interviews press, podcasts and playlists that have featured Heyoka in the past year for your indulgence.

Mimosa takes listeners on a journey through warm rhythmic sound-scapes, with melodies and vocal samples smoothly crafted to help navigate the sonic terrain. Using basslines inspired by hip-hop classics like Too Short and Dr Dre, combined with deep psychedelic textures reminiscent of the downtempo and midtempo output by Tipper and Bluetech, Mimosa blends the range of styles to create his own fresh take on the west coast sound.
Mimosa’s debut EP release, Hostilis, out now on Muti Music, presents tracks with heavy-hitting low frequencies, sexy grooves, and uplifting dub infusions, floating between instrumental Hip Hop and Dubstep. The Hostilis EP also features prolific MC Souleye from Colorado, known for his extensive touring with jam bands like BLVD and STS9. The track ‘Framboise’ features beautiful vocal textures provided by Canadian artist Sasha [Butterfly] Rose.
To celebrate the holiday season and also to give you a sampling of the kind of devastation that Mimosa has been doing to hardwood floors and any other surfaces he plays on, we are giving away his dubstep mashup of Collie Budds - ‘Come Around’.

DECEMBER 6TH - 2008 - ill.gates - Autopirate album launch in Toronto Canada.
SENSORIA invites you back to the Augusta House on December 6th for an unforgettable evening promising sensational bass and eye-widening visuals. The night showcases a dual album launch party for Philadelphian grime don Starkey - “Ephemeral Exhibits” (out on Planet µ, Nov. 24th) and Torontonian glitch-and-bass heavy-hitter ill.gates - “Autopirate” (out this fall on Muti Music) with both Dubslingers and Subtrac representing Toronto dubstep in full force.
STARKEY (Planet µ)
“I operate on the fringes of dubstep, like Vex’d, Darkstar and Joker. So much music nowadays lacks melodies, that’s why I stick out I think.”
Starkey is undoubtably Philidelphia’s finest dubstep / grime / bass artist and the latest signing to Planet µ. In the 2008 grime and dubstep arena, Starkey is a gleaming bright anomaly. Whereas so many producers’ default mode is darkness and gloom, Starkey’s music is saturated with upbeat colour, and through melody he harnesses a powerful, alien rave energy seldom heard enough. His latest remarkable beats are definitely going to get you bouncing and we’re excited to have him here in Toronto. Recently, he was featured on BBC Radio One through the Mary Anne Hobbs’ “Bass Generation” show - a huge honour. For a monthly dose, be sure to check out the show he hosts on “Seclusiasis Radio” every 1st monday of the month on SubFM.
