<p>[a2050797] started this project in 2018 as an outlet for his unique take on Grime. Reducing the sound to its steely fundamentals, bringing in influences from Grime, Techno and Dancehall to gird the voices of the MCs he works with, creating a sound that he came to refer to as Hi Tek Grime, as well as inventing the 8 Bar Techno sub-genre. He has also started the [l1500563] record label to release his East Man productions, as well as collaborations with other musicians exploring similar musical areas. The project has now ended as of 2021.</p>

'Prole Art Threat' is producer Anthoney Hart's second LP for Planet Mu under his East Man alias, after 2018's well received debut 'Red White &amp; Zero'. It brings together a set of MCs from all over London, plus Brazil. They work across a cohesive set of tight riddims forged from thoughtful amalgams of grime, dancehall and drum &amp; bass. The album takes its name from a Fall song/mission statement of the same title, the band being self-consciously working class and led by a brilliant autodidact in Mark E Smith. East Man relates that the title is to be taken as “a reflection of working-class creativity and how the establishment marginalise us and (perhaps on a subconscious level) see us as a threat."
