four tet’s latest

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 20:17:05 +0000

four tet gained notoriety for the use of folksy strings in combination with electronica on an album called ’rounds.’ he’s since had a number of other release most of which received mixed reviews. kieran hebden’s latest ‘there is love in you’ is partly minimal, a pinch of dance, sound clash, generally vunder showzen. check out the popiest beat of the lot. sing.

what do i know about these guys? not much. but, snoop dogg just released a collab on this track. so they got some extra attention. the snoop version will no doubt be a club song to rival…who give’s a fuck. the original though, is worth a listen if your into the dub scene. did you know the boss dogg crunches numbas with his calcalata? he’s a millon-air.

this track was produced by dilla. not to mention, album also features artists like norah jones, d’angelo, raphael saadiq and amanda diva. and yes, that is an mpc2000xl. good call. if you knew that you might have also known the original song this track borrows from. give yourself ten points.
