Cut Hands is a British electronic music project of William Bennett, formerly of the power electronics band Whitehouse.
Cut Hands began in 2008, and its music is heavily inspired by African and Haitian Vodou music, characterized by its rhythmic and percussion-based style.
[1] The project began when William Bennett was invited to DJ at Optimo, a large club in Glasgow.
[2] The name "Cut Hands" is a reference to the Whitehouse song "Cut Hands Has the Solution", which was from their 2003 album Bird Seed.
[3] Bennett's work as Cut Hands has brought him considerable attention in mainstream media, being placed in documentaries such as VICE's Kings of Cannabis[4] and having songs like "Black Mamba" sampled in hip-hop such as Danny Brown's "Pneumonia".
