Four Tet - Fabriclive 59 (Mix Album Review)



Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, has always pushed musical boundaries. Whether it be with his inimitable style of electronica - glitching up folk samples into haunting hip-hop melodies - or live laptop jamming with jazz drummers, he always manages to do something different and subvert expectations.

These pioneers are re-inventing bass music and Pearson Sound's recent Fabric Mix is a good example of where these new genres are headed. If you've come to terms with Four Tet's endless curve balling then you won't be as surprised to know that this mix doesn't pick up where Pearson Sound's left off.
