Love that he doesn't muck about with tons of needless tweaking just to make himself look busy. He's totally happy to let the quality of his selections just play through.
I love how he begins with his beginning. Directions-Echoes(Continental Drift Version) There is a great interview with him where he talks about this track and the story about it. The guy who recorded this had some kind of glitch on his recording device/computer where it added glitches that were unrecoverable, but he liked them so much he kept them. This was a major inspiration for Fourtet's original sound with all the reverse snippets and twitchy small samples.
even when he accidentally leaves the fader up at 25:20 and you hear him rewind the tune? come on dude he's a good dj and its a nice mix but climb out of his arse LOL
thank you x million times and more , we will get thru this strange time of self isolation as long as we have music and community love to share. Respect! my eyes are tearing up listening to the ending part.
I love how the Mac has a feed that is a few seconds behind...and in there is another Mac that has a feed that is a few seconds behind...and in there is another Mac that has a feed...
Omg i love you, i've heard Four tet at first when i was like 15, with Everything is alright. Listened to this sond thousands of times and it changed my life, then i bought some albums (it was a decade ago okay! :D) and it became the soundtrack of my life
Wow. I discovered Four Tet an year ago with Rounds. I don't know why, it connects with me so deeply. I listened to it hundreads of time and it still speaks to me.
I'm exactly the same. Everything is alright and You Could Ruin My Day connected with me at such a deep level it often brings a tear to my eye. Been listening to Four Tet as long as I can remember. He is the best :)
I remember when I went to work, daylight, 7am.. 4 caravans, a cement mixer and I had to lay bricks for a week. The music pulsed over me.. Felt like I was given a masterclass. Bit of a blur but me and my workmates got through it.. :)
My favorite thing about Four Tet is that I feel as if I could share any piece of music I enjoy with him and he'd be open to it! I saw him play a set at the Hollywood Palladium last year and he played most eclectic set I had ever heard, tracks spanning from techno, to hip hop to drum and bass. Truly inspiring!
So what is that trap beat around 52-55? He says something about Anthony Naples, and about people working out the ID's but I'm not sure what he meant and can't figure this one out...
For all the boiler hate out there, listen up. Don't think that because you "get it" or "appreciate it" you are better than them. Doesn't fuckin matter. That's just an illusion. Get back to the stuff that matters. Just hear the music, fuckin humble and connect yourself to the divine experience in front of you. It's way cooler! It's what you really seek deep down anyway. Not the separation from your fellow man. And the best part is, the more you stop judging and start creating, the easier it is for the "others" to learn about that which you admire so deeply, simply because there is more to admire, not less. Doesn't matter if they never see it. Your job is not to tell the student what to see, but where to look. They are able to get closer to your truth, not because of something you did to them, but really something you did to yourself. "Take the log out of your eye...", yadda yadda yadda. It all just takes time.
What time of day was this? This is so cool, to just swing by and chill with a coffee and watch/listen to the renowned Four Tet spin some eclectic electronic beats. Wish I worked in BK!
