COMMODO
Commodo is a producer and DJ from Sheffield, widely respected for his genre-busting approach to 140-BPM, Grime and rap beats. Emerging in the early 2010s, he quickly gained recognition through releases on influential labels like Black Acre and foundational entities like Deep Medi Musik, where his 2013 EP $pace Cash established his reputation for tasteful sound design, cinematic atmospheres, and impactful low-end.
Blending elements of Grime, Dubstep and Hip-Hop, Commodo’s productions stand out for their intricate rhythms, analogue sound textures, and stripped-back but powerful arrangements. His work often pushes beyond traditional 140 bpm structures, drawing influence from obscure soundtracks to Grunge and Shoegaze while maintaining the genre’s essential widescreen production standard. As a DJ, Commodo has built an equally enviable reputation, able to throw down a more functional dubstep set or incorporate more eclectic and contemporary influences with a keen ear for a blend.
In 2016, he released his debut album How What Time via Black Acre Records, a project that showcased his versatility and deep understanding of UK electronic music cultures. The album further cemented his status as one of the scene’s most innovative producers. Over the years he has collaborated with notable artists such as JME, Alfa Mist, and Anz. Known for maintaining a low public profile, Commodo has built his reputation primarily through the strength of his music, earning lasting respect as a DJ and producer.
