Ruane Maurice are a young and visionary electronic hip-hop band from Birmingham, UK. They are rawer than Ghostpoet, whiter than Dels, easier to understand than The Streets, and quite a bit more British than Shabazz Palaces. Rare amongst contemporary English bands, they combine their affinity for different genres into a dusky and innovative whole, mixing contemporary electronic influences with early-90s slow jam melodies, the sonic adventurism of musique concrète, and the heavy night-time beats of early industrial music.
