Bleep

Deadhand is James Ruskin and Mark Broom of The Fear Ratio, combining forces for their debut release with the help of Scratch Perverts’ DJ Prime Cuts and illbient legend Sensational, plus a remix from UK upstart Etch. Meanwhile is quite a departure from the styles Ruskin and Broom are known for, offering up tuff & wonky hip hop in the style of vintage Dabrye or Prefuse73. The production chops of their techno heritage shines through in the sheer impact of their beats and the monochrome soundscapes. Ten tracks including its remixes make for a versatile dancefloor record or headphone head nodder.
