Londoner Kieran Hebden, best known as Four Tet, stands as a trailblazer in indie electronic music. In 1997, Hebden ventured into his solo career as 4T Recordings, debuting with "Double Density." He later introduced the Four Tet project with the 1998 single "Thirtysixtwentyfive," a captivating, jazzy composition foreshadowing the innovative soundscapes he would explore. The debut album, "Dialogue" (1999), showcased Hebden's adept blend of organic and electronic elements.
As Four Tet gained prominence, Hebden's remix on Warp's "Warp 10+3: Remixes" compilation and collaborations with Rothko and Pole highlighted his versatility. In subsequent years, Hebden evolved his sound, collaborating with Burial and exploring minimal techno with the EP "Ringer" (2008). "Moth 12" (2009) and "There Is Love in You" (2010) revealed a club-friendly side, appealing to a broad audience. The mix "Fabriclive.59" (2011) and "Pink" (2012) showcased Hebden's DJ prowess and penchant for singles on Text. "Beautiful Rewind" (2013) reflected immersion in pirate radio culture, while "Morning/Evening" (2015) featured two 20-minute tracks, demonstrating versatility.
Through 2018 and 2019, Four Tet released live sets and festival anthems like "Only Human." "Sixteen Oceans" (2020) solidified Hebden's genre-defying reputation. Collaborations with Yorke and Burial, along with the 2021 collaboration with Madlib on "Sound Ancestors," displayed Hebden's editing and arranging skills.
Hebden continued pushing boundaries, collaborating with Skrillex and Fred again.., performing at Coachella, and releasing "Mango Feedback" (2022). As Four Tet captivates audiences with his evolving sound.
