Plutonik, Birmingham's finest "drum 'n' bass / jazz / pop" band.

After several years gigging around the UK and Europe, Chrissy was pointed towards Alan Rowe and James D in '97 who were busy experimenting with drum and bass styled tracks in their basement studio.

Chrissy: "They [James and Alan] were looking for a vocalist to complete a dance project,they approached me because a mutual friend told them I was a singer... the rest is history, although they got more than they bargained for! The sound was reborn from what we did together."

Alan: "Out of our initial sessions came a tough dance hybrid that fused the hard grooves of dance music with the ambience of jazz. Less Portishead and more Red Snapper, but it was not a concious decision, though we were heavilly influenced by the likes of Massive Attack, Roni Size and DJ Shadow..."

Chrissy: "We all have an individual take on what music we would like to make, so instead of compromising all the time, we simply include all the ideas we like best. Early trial and error lead us to this sound, and we all like it a lot!"

Following a limited edition 12 inch promo', Junglotrane/Filter, the bands debut album, Prime Numbers, was released in July 1999. The band (no longer together) then took an expanded line-up to Europe and Scandanavia where their studio based sound developed into a tight, powerful live groove.
