Commercial Suicide

Commercial Suicide

Details


Commercial Suicide is the world famous Drum and Bass label owned by Tom Withers aka Klute. It is a really good label. It has served as a mentor to many mostly by showing others exactly how not to do things.

 

Started in 2001 after Klute found absolutely no other label remotely interested in releasing his own music. Klute has conned many stupid people into releasing music on the label. Many have gone on to be really famous, such as; Fleetwood Mac, Amit, the Kooks, SKC, Hive, Calibre, John Tejada, U2, The Upbeats, Concord Dawn, Total Science, The Who, Klute, Break, Silent Witness, Mindscape, Nymfo, James Cake, Digital, The Spirit, The Communards, Ill Skillz, S.P.Y, Baron, Chris SU, Baron Knights, the list is endless.

 

Commercial Suicide has no sound and no direction. It serves no claim to "dominate", "take over" or run 'tings. It is here with the sole intention of releasing music that Klute sees fit.

 

In 2011 Klute's label will celebrate it's 10-year anniversary with a whole host of releases from artists including Nymfo, Amit, Mindscape, Chris SU and D.Kay & Ill.Skillz.
