House of Cards

Deaf Squad are a production duo hailing from the heart of London, made up of RZR (f.k.a Dr. Colossus, head of Destroy Oh Boy) and Memari Man (formerly of Kings Of The City). Together, the two old friends forge a soundscape that is intense and innovative, drawing on a rich tapestry of influences including industrial, post-rock, dub, and grime.

Inspired by the raw power of The Bug and the sonic complexity of Nine Inch Nails, Deaf Squad draw on their contrasting musical backgrounds of live rock and jungle / breakcore to create a powerful blend that is dark and exhilarating. Their music is a visceral, gut-punch of an experience, and their forthcoming debut EP “Black and Red” is a testament to their years of musical exploration and collaboration. Each track is a journey through uncharted auditory territories, reflecting the duo's deep-seated affinity for experimental sound design and their commitment to producing music that resonates on both an emotional and physical level. 

“Money Maniac” is primed for hands-in-the-air moments, with dub synths that meet jagged industrial percussion. “Glitch” shows off their more ethereal tendencies, whilst maintaining a powerful sense of bass-weight and dread. On “Collateral Damage”, a pulsating drone gives way to stadium-sized post-rock guitar melodies, and closing track “Ready” is pensive and reflective, whilst continuing their foreboding audio tapestry. 

They’re joined on this journey by a number of vocalists, each bringing a unique quality to the tracks: grime legend and Grammy winner Flowdan, dancehall royalty Warrior Queen, and Thryn, a musician and songwriter currently based in Cambridge who draws on folk traditions for their melancholic, choral-inspired harmonies.

Deaf Squad x Thryn - Glitch (Take Me With You)

Release date: 04.06.2024

‘Fashion’ offers a preview of the upcoming collaborative ‘Shadows’ LP from Conscious Route and Supermann on da Beat. An understated, rolling break is coupled with acoustic strings and some keys, leaving plenty of space for Conscious Route and guest MC Pro Focus to deliver rhymes jabbing at rappers who follow stereotypes and trends. Taking turns on the verses before switching to a back-and-forth style, the rappers call out those who can only chat “grimy bars, [about] bitches, coke,” as a “cash-in, they in it for the fashion.”
There is still plenty of time for Conscious Route and Pro Focus to demonstrate their own rhyming credentials as Supermann’s production flows through stuttering breaks and is given space to breathe too. 
If this is a hint of what to expect from the Shadows LP, which is due to be released in 2025, then there is something serious cooking in Scotland right now…

Lyrics:

I’ve started so I will finish
I’m not the type to admit it
Eyes on the prize
Will you be mine?
Don’t tell me that I should cool down
I’ll play the fool and I’ll shout out
I just wanna say

I think you’re out of this world
What’s the deal I gotta make?
Where’s the rules I gotta break?

I’m waking up and I’m crawling
Right to your feet where I’m falling
You say I’m obsessed
Well that’s just the best damn part 
Of every moment you’re in it
And in the moment I’m winning
I just wanna say

I think you’re out of this world
What’s the deal I gotta make?
Where the rules I gotta break?
It hurts
Cos you give me something real
Can I hold onto this feeling?

*instrumental*

I think you’re out of this world
What’s the deal I gotta make?
Where the rules I gotta break?
It hurts
Cos you give me something real
Can I hold onto this feeling?
Cut the time that it will take
What’s the deal I gotta make?
It hurts
Cos you give me something real
Can I hold onto this feeling?

Can I hold onto this feeling?
Can I hold onto this feeling?

Out Of This World

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
V1
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V2
The truth is a lonely place
So many lovers of the lies
Fitting in, you never could
There’s no need to agonize

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V1 REPEATS
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose – 
Just cut ‘em loose, ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death
Life or death
We all choose
We all choose..ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

You gave me heaven you healed my heart
You kept me yearning right from the start
You are my angel felt from the sky
You are my treasure you make me cry

You are my daylight all shadows are past
You are my future and we will last
You are my hero my soulmate for life
Oohoooo

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe
Intermezzo(Rahab)
You gave me sunshine after the rain
you gave me pleasure, you gave me pleasure after my pai-ai-ain

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe
Intermezzo(Rahab)

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe

Very first collab work with the amazing Mirjam ! This sound was made years ago for a band that never saw the day, so I asked Mirjam to add anything she wants, it if she was interested : I'm impressed by the work she did and the emotions she put into it ! Enjoy !
