Berlin's Tim Eliot represents the top percentile of european drum & bass producers. With substantial training in classical piano, he began dabbling in electronic music in 1992. Several years later he began receiving recognition on local Berlin radio stations and a series of irrefutably classic 12"s ensued.
Seminal works on Don Q and Position Chrome catapulted Current Value into a literal phase of underground superstardom. Through proper distribution and excellent exposure the Position Chrome releases like 'Creative Robot', 'Skybreaker', and 'Bass Riot' were very well received particularly in North America.
The decidedly dark and often dissonant sound of the techstep revolution resonated with many disenfranchised junglists as well as electronica fans. With numerous singles and 4 LP's, Current Value left an indelible impression on the drum & bass and techno genres. With subsequent appearances on renowned labels like Don Q, Ruff-Teck, Klangkrieg, Phantom Noise and No!Breaks, Current Value has continued to produce quality drum & bass for the dancefloor as well as the living room audience. In 2004, after 1 year of education, he received his diploma at the school of audio engineering SAE - enhancing his production values and abilities even further.
In mid 2005, Soothsayer released the first of several Current Value 12"s. Successive releases including a split-12" with Kid Kryptic + the monumental 'The Unspoken' 12" underscore the growing quality and number of Current Value releases. In 2006, Current Value has delivered even bigger and better tunes with his new work for Intransigent, Obscene, Tech Itch, Algorythm and Evol Intent Recordings.
Current Value has also begun collaboration with SPL, Limewax, Counterstrike and Raiden and has provided tunes for various of the mentioned finest drum & bass labels. Being part of the Freak family, he is booked through Anger Management and plays sets frequently all around the globe.
