Both Ruskin and Broom are well-established figures in the electronic music industry. Ruskin has been at the forefront of techno for over two decades, releasing influential tracks on labels like Blueprint Records. Broom, on the other hand, has made a name for himself with his versatile production skills and collaborations with renowned artists.

Together as The Fear Ratio, Ruskin and Broom have released several critically acclaimed albums that showcase their exceptional talent for crafting intricate rhythms and atmospheric textures. Their music seamlessly blends elements of industrial techno with melodic ambience to create a truly captivating listening experience.

Tresor is a Berlin-based techno label that was founded in July 1991 by Dimitri Hegemann. The label takes its name from the techno club that was established in an underground vault after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Tresor was formerly a division of another label, and it has undergone changes to its label code over the years.

From 1991 to 2002, Tresor had the label code LC 7572 / LC 07572. Afterward, from 2002 onwards, the label's code changed to LC 3702 / LC 03702.

Tresor has played a significant role in shaping the techno music scene with its authoritative presence and influential releases. With its roots deeply embedded in Berlin's rich musical history, Tresor continues to be at the forefront of electronic music innovation and remains a respected force within the industry.

Slinky, a new album from The Fear Ratio, the collaborative project of Mark Broom and James Ruskin, on Tresor Records. In their first outing since They Can't Be Saved, released on Skam in 2020, they enlist British rapper King Kashmere, who features on two tracks. Where James Ruskin has appeared on Tresor Records for his seminal albums Point 2, Into Submission, The Dash and his recent Siklikal EP, the only appearance of Mark Broom on the label is a 2002 remix of The Golden Apple by Eddie “Flashin” Fowlkes.

Slinky finds an ever-evolving project, The Fear Ratio shapeshifting by bringing in the voice into their work and continually pushing with their incredibly-effected rhythmic styles and peculiar, wandering synthesis.
