This Saturday we’re off to Victoria Park to get our groove on at Field Day London . The one day festival is playing host to a great mix of bands, producers and DJs – it’s the varied music genres and cutting edge acts signed up that really sets this festival apart and has got us super excited. On our hit list of acts we’re dying to see is the brilliant Four Tet , future garage pioneer Koreless , Daniel Avery for some acid house, Jacques Green [...]

No more than 48 hours before rediscovering Four Tet' s Rounds , I caught myself questioning the ability of "in-the-box" producers to conceive "out-of-the-box" projects. When an artist's tools are confined to a laptop, can one really affect the behemoth that is electronic music? As I nestled into the heartbeat of "My Angel Rocks Back and Forth", I realized that notion could not have been more wrong; great art lives outside of its mere resources. For Rounds - recorded during 2002 and 2003 in his small flat, using just an old Dell, cracked software, and an arsenal of [...]

Kieran Hebden, más conocido por su proyecto solista como Four Tet, nos cuenta en este video de Red Bull Music Academy cómo se estructuran y construyen sus presentaciones en vivo. Sin macbooks , sin audífonos Beats by Dr. Dre, con un notebook añejo corriendo un aún más añejo Cool edit (¿Pro?), el músico electrónico explica en una íntima clase como funcionan sus loops y como juega con distintos samplers y máquinas al tocar en vivo, dejando en claro su simpleza e inocencia al hacer música. Una demostración desmitificadora que nos tapa [...]

Possibility the coolest music lecturer since Kode9 , Four Tet gave a talk at the Red Bull Music Academy recently on how he structures his sets. Many an electronic producer has become stumped on how to transfer their bedroom or home studio made tracks to the dancefloor, but Kieran Hebden was on hand to give an informal audience of onlookers a few tips. You can watch that seminar of sorts below, as well as a recent RBMA talk with Cabaret Voltaire's [...]
Perks of running a music blog full-time? Following the music, of course! And in this case, I'm fortunate enough to be able to make my way over to Barcelona for the Primavera Sound music festival, which takes place later this week (tickets still available here ). Things officially kick off today, but given there are only ~15 bands playing, I figured I'd skip to Thursday. It seems to have a mostly indie-rock slant, and I can't even count how many bands are playing. Here are the acts I'll be making sure not to miss: [...]

As we near the beginning of Ibiza's 2013 season, the beloved Pacha brand aims to forge a new identity, starting with Guy Gerber's new The Wisdom Of The Glove residency. The Israeli curator has some major plans for the world-renowned club, so we gave him the floor to answer our most pressing questions about the Glove's mystical allure and his hopes to make Pacha the island's hottest destination: Explain the meaning of "The Wisdom of the Glove" The Wisdom [...]
Red Bull Music Academy gives fans a rare glimpse into one of today's most innovative electronic artists live sets. Four Tet explains in an episode of Studio Science what exactly he's doing on stage using a multi-channels set up through Ableton Live. Using a monone as a controller Four Tet has control over his the drum patterns and samples that he's sending out through Ableton next to a looping machine that sends a signal through his headphone port. Cool Edit allows him to play specific melodic samples and manipulate them to how he'd like them to sound. Kudos to RBMA on this. [...]

Four Tet - Rounds (Domino Records) Ten years ago, Four Tet released Rounds , his third full-length, and his most focused work. Four Tet—UK’s Keiran Hebden—composed an affirming masterwork of mood, rhythm and repetition using only disparate, seemingly unrelated samples, culled from just about anywhere you can imagine, and beyond. Throughout Rounds , Hebden carefully stacks loose, manipulated jazz rhythms atop soft swells of organs, synths, piano, guitars, vocals, etc. Although sample-based artists are not scarce, Four Tet extended the possibilities of the genre with Rounds , setting an impossibly [...]

Two contrasting free downloads, but free none the less. Four Tet for the more pastel coloured among you and Ejeca for those who are a little more glittery. Four Tet 's 'Unspoken' is a haunting piano track that is taken from his seminal 2003 LP 'Rounds'. Rounds has just been reissued (Buy Here) to mark its 10th anniversary, and if you are new to Four Tets earlier more electronica based work, 'Unspoken' is the perfect introduction. Ejeca on the other hand is not trying to conjure up images of the past, he has simply gone, [...]

Originally released in 2003, Four Tet 's landmark album Rounds was recently reissued as a special 10th anniversary edition, and deserves your undivided attention once more. Based on a soothing piano riff, Unspoken takes you on a peaceful, yet powerful journey, veering off sporadically into beautiful chaos. Grab that free download.
