METALHEADZ NIGHT
KLUTE [ Commercial Suicide | Metalheadz ] - UK **5DNB DEBUT**
Tom Withers (Klute) has been a musician all his life. As Tommy Stupid he released his first 7" aged 15 with his legendary skate punk band, The Stupids. They went on to release several more 7" and Albums with Children of The Revolution and Vinyl Solution Records, John Peel Sessions, and tour the world with their live show.
After a well deserved sabbatical and discovering house and techno Klute was born and Drum and Bass was the music. Initially working for several years with Certificate 18 Records he eventually established Commercial Suicide in 2001, releasing music from a range of artists. Outside the label he continues to DJ and release music with others such as Hospital, 31, Soul:R and Metalheadz.
When not making Drum and Bass, Tom likes to make techno and play drums in his punk band. When not making music, Tom likes to go to skate parks and tend to his beloved allotment.
SPIRIT [ Inneractive | Metalheadz ] - UK
From his early days on Metalheadz, to his collaborations with Digital to his own heavy and challenging label Inneractive, Spirit has been bringing his own sound to the genre and suprising audiences with every other selection out of the bag.

The last two years have seen Spirit go on to even bigger and better things. With Inneractive Music now firmly in position and into double figures release wise, work for Klute's Commercial Suicide label, the Solitaire Remix or Metalheadz alongside tracks for their MDZ03 & MDZ04 compilations, Marcus Intalex & St. Files Revolve:r imprint and a host of remixes which included the Goldie classic ‘Sinister’, Spirit is currently hard at work on his debut album for Inneractive Music in spring 2005, while also allowing the label to showcase newer talent from the likes of Amit, Outrage, Cujo, Tactile & Heist.
