Kieran "Four Tet" Hebden has been experimenting with jazz as of late, but Ringer sees him taking a step back to the laptop fiddling days that initially endeared him to the electronica set.

Four Tet — DJ-Kicks

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) June 27, 2006 12:30 pm
Kieran Hebden, a.k.a. British master DJ Four Tet, has finally succumbed to the pull of German label !K7's gimmicky DJ-Kicks series, which is designed to replicate the DJ sound in your home stereo. As such, something gets lost when it's just the music minus the experience of the huge rave-up that's supposed to go with it. Four Tet does, however,...

There isn't a more fitting image than the amazing, technicolour magic carpet that graces the cover of the fourth Four Tet album. This is the ultimate psych-electronic record from mastermind Kieran Hebden, combining spiderweb-light digital tinkering with organic percussion and free-jazz experimentation. First single "Smile Around The Face...

Four Tet Gets To Heart Of Matter

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) February 1, 2010 4:49 pm
To stay relevant and fresh in the world of electronic music is rare, but to do so for over 10 years outright deserves major props. Four Tet's Kieran Hebden has been pushing the boundaries of the genre since the late-'90s, when his already lauded post-rock outfit, Fridge, went on what would essentially become a permanent break. Since then,...

It takes only about 30 seconds into the new Four Tet album, There Is Love In You, before you realize Kieran Hebden is trying to shake things up. Fading in amidst a slow, hypnotic beat comes something rarely heard on previous Four Tet records: a human voice. "Using vocals is pretty unusual for me," Hebden admits. "I haven't really...

Four Tet Releasing First Album in Four Years

in
By Mark Teo (CHARTattack) November 27, 2009 4:54 pm
Four years is a long time to wait. It's the length a U.S. presidential term. It's the age of Mike Tyson's child, Exodus. According to Money-Zine.com's calculator, a mid-range car will have depreciated roughly $15,000 in that time. And that's precisely how long Four Tet fans have had to wait for a new full-length album. But don't fret: The wait...

Since Kieran Hebden started his musical career in his mid-teens in post-rock outfit Fridge — and through his stints as a DJ, producer and mood music purveyor as Four Tet — he's marched entirely to the beat of his own drum.

During a recent soundcheck in Toronto, Kieran Hebden (a.k.a. Four Tet) plugged his computer into the soundboard and clicked away at the program on screen. The concert hall suddenly filled with the roar of rattling, off-kilter drum beats. With the loop still playing, he jumped off the stage and ran to the centre of the dance floor halfway from the...
