As a DJ, producer, remixer and co-founder of WIDE Records, DJ Cutlass Supreme has taken his unique mix of UK Bass, Ghetto Tech, Breaks and Jungle to clubs, festivals and radio shows across Europe.

Cutlass is currently working on a new EP, due out in the fall of 2008, a follow up to his acclaimed “DJ Cutlass Supreme Presents UK Bass”, and a full-length DJ mix for Balkan Records. After a busy year remixing Unique 3, DJ Slugo, Debasser & Sol_Dat , and playing out across the UK and Europe, Cutlass has been uncovering new talent for the WIDE Records roster and planning a busy release schedule for 2008 and beyond.

Originally starting out as a Drum & Bass DJ in the mid 90's, Cutlass Supreme discovered the US sound of Ghetto Tech after a chance meeting with Detroit's DJ Godfather in 2001. Hosting the now infamous WIDE club nights in London, Cutlass invited the likes of Godfather, Disco D, DJ Assault and Ectomorph to play at events that were described as everything from a club which ‘injects a bit of fun back into dancefloors, making people shake their butts to seriously dirty music’ to ‘mental, frankly’.

The release of his acclaimed UK Bass mix CD on Novamute in 2003 was followed by appearances on BBC Radio 1's Breezeblock and gigs and festivals across Europe. The UK dance press were quick to catch the virus too with Cutlass described as ‘one of the most refreshingly inventive jocks we’ve heard in a long time’ and his rapid-fire mixing style as ‘like the Plump DJs only more funky and infinitely more dirty.’ He’s been written about in magazines including Mixmag, DJ, XLR8R, Knowledge and RWD.

Cutlass’s love of Bass has embraced the UK ‘s Dubstep and Bassline sounds, adding more low-end energy to his live mixes. The recording of his 2007 performance at Bloc was been his most requested mix to date with thousands of downloads. A follow up 2008 mix for B.A.S.S Radio was made available for free download earlier in the year and will be topped with a new mix due at the end of the year.

As a DJ, he continues to expand the possibilities of his live performances integrating Ableton Live and Torq via laptop to enable him to mix on the fly between vinyl, CD and WAV and incorporate outboard gear for live remixing and improvisation.
