Fidel Custro |The Turntablist
Fidel Cutstro is a premier London-based hip hop DJ, producer, and elite turntablist renowned for his technical precision and deep roots in the UK underground scene.
Recognized for his "razor-sharp" scratch skills and masterful mixing, Cutstro has built a reputation as a specialist in beat manipulation and rhythmic complexity. His career is highlighted by his work with the acclaimed scratch band Surgical Cuts and his collaboration with DJ Ideal in The Unemployed Superheroes, while his solo project Talking In Drums showcases a sophisticated production style influenced by legends like DJ Shadow and J Dilla.
A frequent collaborator within the independent scene—most notably on high-impact tracks like "The Half of It" with Manage—Cutstro remains a vital architect of modern turntablism, delivering high-energy performances at festivals across the UK and Europe.
The Partnership
Through his long-standing partnership with Manage, Fidel Cutstro was the natural choice to bridge the gap between EOW England and Prolific Wone, providing the technical backbone for this cross-continental hip hop anthem.
His surgical scratches and meticulous sample selections on "Free" do more than just provide texture; they act as a rhythmic narrative, punctuating the lyrics with a raw, authentic energy that defines the underground rap aesthetic.
By blending traditional turntablism with modern production, Fidel Cutstro’s contribution ensures the track resonates as a high-fidelity tribute to the global End of the Weak culture.
