A Certain Ratio share new ‘Knife Slits Water’ mix and 2026 tour dates

Manchester post-punk and funk pioneers A Certain Ratio are releasing two reissued albums through Mute on 28 August 2026. ‘The Joy of Sextet’ accompanies their landmark 1982 album ‘Sextet’, while ‘Force Majeure’ reworks their 1986 release ‘Force’, adding previously unreleased Stuart James productions. The lead single ‘Knife Slits Water’ has been remixed by Andy Meecham of The Emperor Machine from original 1981 tapes as a new 12-inch version. Both reissues arrive in limited coloured vinyl, CD, and digital formats. The band, featuring long-standing members Jez Kerr, Donald Johnson, and Martin Moscrop alongside Martha Tilson, will support the releases with a UK autumn tour performing both records in full across two sets with no opening acts.
