KLUTE IS THE MAN

DOA: Commercial Suicide is definitely one of the more interesting label names out there. Would it be possible for you to divulge a bit of information as far as what it means to you and how you've modeled the label itself around any ethics tied to it, if at all?

Klute: I just wanted a name that stood up against the normal D+B futuristic scientific cliché type of names. I also wanted to depict failure rather than the norm of trying to project success. My whole purpose is to organically release music I like for the sake of people who like music; not hype and lies. Music and culture as a whole has become so obsessed with success that merit is applied to sales figures and perceived market dominance. For me music is a higher form of expression that can’t be judged by success, it’s not a competition - that only gets in the way of the music and actually appreciating it. As much as I love DOA, I sometimes have a laugh at all the experts telling everyone how they think D+B doesn’t know how to market itself. I couldn’t give two f**ks about marketing.

Re: KLUTE IS THE MAN

I've always respected Klute and the sound he offers from his label. his tunes are beautifully done and he's def one of my heroes that i look up to =)

plus, he's a fookin great dj as well! he'll suck the crowd in and then spit at you something from leftfield to blow your socks off! he killed it at Respect and the Beehive last year!
