Beans has taken hip-hop and twisted it to include a more eclectic electronic sound. The result is a backing that will be more familiar to Warp aficionados while being far less challenging than many of their other artists. The raps are slick, original and all the more refreshing for their avoidance of arrogant posturing, bank balance boasts and hateful content.

Shock City Maverick (Buy it here from Amazon), the new album by Beans, is released 25th October.
