I originally made this instrumental for a mashup track that I was pretty proud of, but felt like the instrumental deserved a proper opportunity to shine outside of the #mashup tag and community.

Enter Alexandra Undone - a very talented and emotive vocalist I found through the SoundCloud algorithm who seemed to be drawing from similar influences.  She knew just how to tame the quick-moving and intense instrumental, absolutely crushing this with her lyrics and ideas for vocal layering.

Amor Vincit Omnia

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof
Both of us know
To fear the wrath of God

To thine own self be true
I am nothing without you

In sickness and in health
For better or for worse
Dogged by misfortune
Our love is like a curse
Try as you may
It never goes away

Wrath of God

I'm Gonna Freak (In The Darkness) - 40,000 Year Funk Forbidden Candy Mix

Taken from Deadhand 12" new EP Meanwhile, out on @seagrave-3.

Debut release for The Fear Ratio's Mark Broom and James Ruskin under their 'Deadhand' alias, which proceeds on a strictly experimental hip-hop tip, accompanied as they are here by 4 x world scratch champion DJ Prime Cuts (of The Scratch Perverts) and illbient rap legend Sensational, who brings his characteristic broken charm to the EP's itchy, spartan production vibes: "Step into my office, now we sparkin' it... I spit the isms in yer ear... you better recognise it's raw shit from orbit."

This pairing with Sens makes total sense: Distinct from Mark and James' work as The Fear Ratio, their Deadhand project delivers something closer to 90s illbient in any case: extending the boom-bap era of hip-hop production with elements of hallucinogenic dystopianism, the energy of the EP nevertheless vibes playfully: Given the dispiriting global situation at present, the EP title 'Meanwhile' might simply refer to getting on with things in spite of all the cultural and political misendeavor the era will no doubt be long remembered for. Despite the global health pandemic and the looming spectre of wide-scale environmental collapse, little despair or surrender prevails here, but rather a hankering to attempt a few tripped-out experiments.

Three remixes bring further twists of the screw: A cosmic break flex from ETCH resituates Sensational amidst the magmic glow of Reaktor bass ensembles, while DJ Prime Cuts repurposes 7" soul gold by way of a more 'traditional' SP1200 approach. 90s trip-hop pioneer and graffiti legend REQ steps up with all the painterly flair he is rightly renowned for, obliterating the Monster Orchestra's classic 'I Can't Stop' stab towards a double dose of galactic melancholia.
