DOWNLOAD Four Tet’s New Album :: 0181 (MP3)

Apparently, Four Tet spent the holidays rummaging through his old stuff. And he came out with this collection of early recordings from 1997-2001. So while not a “new” album, these vintage tunes give a great look at where Kieran Hebden started, mixing delicate beats with folktronic melodies and some abstract freak outs. 0181 is presumably named after the now-retired London area code where we assume Hebden made these recordings. You can download the whole album as a single file (with no track names) now. And then scope up the physicla release (TEXT021) on vinyl later this year.

STREAM :: Four Tet x Caribou Split Single (MP3)

Producers Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) and Dan Snaith (Caribou/Daphni) have more in common that just unruly whiteboy ‘fros. The two each have a decade-long career of making interesting electronic tunes that lean towards the listener more than the dancer. Both also scored big in 2010 with critically acclaimed album—The Is Love In You for Hebden and Swim for Snaith—which brought them larger audiences than they’ve seen in several years. And now the pair are releasing a split single on Hebden’s Text label, which finds both artists in a playful upbeat mode. No release date has been set, but you can stream both tracks here.

Apparat – DJ-Kicks (Review)

Apparat

DJ-Kicks

Released by !K7


German-born and Berlin resident Sascha Ring, also known by his more recognizable name, Apparat, has had one of the most consistent electronic artist careers to date.  With his knack for beautiful compositions and sonic artisanship, Apparat has developed a unique style of his own through a synesthetic blend of ambient, downtempo, techno, glitch and even trip-hop elements. Having an exceptionally bright solo career, his work with Modeselektor last year under the name Moderat was more than exceptional, combining parallel electronic directions into one unique and inspired project that demonstrated ...
