The Brighton-based duo ‘Kleu’ started their meteoric rise in Drum and Bass in 2018 with their first release on AudioPorn Recordings and within months secured residencies at some of the UK’s premier promotions (Worried About Henry, Breakin Science, Jungle Mania).
The pair were snapped up by the Hot Cakes Agency and in no time were spreading their sound far and wide, tearing up some of the UK’s biggest stages (Glastonbury, Boomtown. Warehouse Project, Printworks) with their trademark high-energy, fast-paced, grotty bass-laden performances, and were soon out touring Europe. (France, Holland, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland)
With a slew of releases on high profile labels (Dnb Allstars, Born on Road, Elevate, Jungle Cakes, Device, DubShotta, Serial Killaz, Sub180) and three UKF premiers, it was inevitable that regular radio play would follow, and in September 2020 Kleu appeared for the first time ‘In The Mix’ for BBC Radio 1. This led to a number of guest slots on the commercial stations (Radio 1. Kiss FM, George FM (NZ), Flex FM) and eventually achieving ‘Track of the Week’ on Charlie Tee’s show and daytime plays with the hit track ‘Swing My Way’.
With their 2023 release ‘Smoking Love’ featuring the legendary MC Navigator, going to number one in the Beatport Download Chart ahead of the ridiculous release schedule lined up for the rest of the year and their monthly Spotify listeners now topping 90,000, it’s clear that Kleu are here to leave their mark on the world of DnB.If you’re heading to a rave any time soon, there’s not much chance you won’t be hearing some of Kleu’s tunes.
