Klute, a.k.a. Tom Withers is no stranger to the LP format, Whatever It Takes is his 9th solo album. It was 
recorded over a period of 18 months in his own PBJ Studio, located in Suffolk. 
Whatever It Takes contains Klute's signature blend of Drum & Bass, Hardcore, Jungle, House, Techno, 
Electro & Ambient stitched together with Klute' typical disregard for the rules of each genre. 
Split into two halves, the album begins in high gear with 8 tracks of Drum & Bass. A rich pallet of D&B styles 
delicately layered with hidden depths and melancholic harmony. The album then shifts into Klute's own 
brand of House Techno & Electro, fully revealing his vivid tapestry of musical influences. The end result is 
highly original, individual and unique. Nobody sounds like Klute. 
Klute on the album: "...with so much going on in the world and all the noise created by a growing instant 
culture I felt compelled to retreat into my own imagination and write individual chapters in melody and rhythm 
as a form of distraction and personal remedy. Early on in the process I made a conscious decision to make a 
wholly solo and instrumental record - the first time since my debut album CASUAL BODIES in 1998". 
"There's something powerful in the mystique and imagination of music, closing your eyes and letting your 
mind and body loose to create its own visions. I feel that there is a lot of "surface" music around at the 
moment that physically dictates what you are supposed to feel. The music I love the most, the music that 
stays with me the longest is always the stuff that enters my subconscious state." 
"Whatever It Takes" is an album for the long haul, to stand the test of time. Take your time, switch off your 
phone and listen and keep coming back for more.
