Biografie Deadbeat

Since the late '90s, Deadbeat has explored both sides of the equation, swinging his pendulum between the two genres on recordings for labels like Cynosure, Revolver, and ~scape. Following in the wake of dub-techno pioneers, just like Pole, Deadbeat has explored half-speed exercises in sonar ping and pooling delay, where every bass drop explodes like a depth charge in pressurized waters. And as one half of the hillbilly-techno duo Crackhaus, influenced by hyperkinetic masters Matthew Herbert and Akufen, Monteith has dug his fingers into every angular crevasse of dance music's up-tempo jig.
