Dj Kutdown (born Michael Clayton Arnone) is an accomplished producer, turntablist and sound engineer. He spent his formative years in Thunder Bay, Ontario schooling himself on turntables and drum machines. A move to Winnipeg in 2000 introduced him to the legendary FrekSho crew where he quickly assumed production and dj duties. The Kutdown-produced album, Ismaila: Mark of the Zebra charted in the top 10 on American college radio securing the duo a spot on the Vans Warped Tour USA.

Arnone has since released numerous albums and mixtapes and has provided production for some of Canada’s finest hip hop artists. He currently resides in Winnipeg, MB where he is a freelance producer/engineer/performer, and employed as a music instructor for the Grafitti Gallery.
