Deeper Cut was a production duo formed in 1993 by Andy Allder and Lorin Cutts. Their debut track 'Feel It' gained popularity among Trade DJ's Tall Paul and Tony de Vit, leading to its licensing with Chemical Records. The success continued as the track received airplay on Pete Tong's Essential Selection. In 1994, they signed a publishing deal with London Music/Polygram, and their track 'Organgrinder' became a favorite at Trade and appeared on Tony de Vit's compilation album.

However, Deeper Cut faced challenges with their label in late '94 which hindered their progress. Despite working with Hooj Choons head Jerry Dickens on their anticipated follow-up track 'Love Surrounds You', they were unable to finalize the mix. Eventually, the duo decided to part ways.

Although short-lived, Deeper Cut made an impact in the early 90s dance music scene with their infectious tracks that resonated within the industry.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Deeper’s sophomore record Auto-Pain sees the band further exploring their navigation of classic post-punk with sharp-edged guitar work to create a tangible recording of both dissonance and exhilaration. Auto-Pain represents the constant wave of depression felt by many in everyday life. Stemmed from Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, Auto-Pain is a concept meant to be an inverse to soma, a pill in the book which makes everything numb. The idea of auto-pain is to epitomize the desire to return to a connection with thoughts and clarity, which comes at the expense of feeling everything simultaneously. The album artwork features the now-demolished Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago and the album title appears in Urdu, a nod to drummer Shiraz Bhatti’s Pakistani heritage. The record was recorded and mixed by Chicago scene luminary Dave Vetraino (Makaya McCraven, Dehd) and mastered at Chicago Mastering by Greg Obis (Ne-Hi, Melkbelly).
