Beat Ratio is a London based solo artist producing groove-pop tunes with an old school approach. Working exclusively on cassette, from the initial ideas to the final masters, he uses the limitations imposed by tape and other ancient equipment as an incentive for creativity and a way to escape the perfectionism allowed by music software. Funky beats, synth-pop and traditional songwriting are all processed through a DIY blender in an attempt to produce music with which to recapture a time, not long ago, when "less was more". His first single "Island in the City" has been released as a free download on Plasticrane Prod at the end of October and he’s now gigging around London and looking for management.

"Synth sounds are usually polished to the point of blinding, but one-man electro band Beat Ratio is adding analog back into techno... ...Beat Ratio doesn’t just melt into the ever-increasing analog brotherhood. His singles are far more dance-party than his cassette contemporaries, yet neither do they fit totally into techno."

"Crafted in its entirety using a 4-track cassette and drum machines, 'Island in the City' marks a welcome return to the days of organic electronic music in an age where everyone is striving for perfection via the assistance of PCs. I for one am seriously looking forward to hearing more from Beat Ratio in 2012."
