Four Tet by Andrew Whitton // Fanatic
The first single from this collaboration between Four Tet and Madlib will premiere on UK radio today.
Four Tet has announced the release of a new album in January which he’s worked on with record producer, DJ and rapper Madlib.
Sound Ancestors is to get a release next month after lead track Road Of The Lonely Ones is aired today, under Madlib’s name and on his own Invazion label.
“A few months ago I completed work on an album with my friend Madlib that we’d been making for the last few years,” Four Tet has explained on social media.
“He is always making loads of music in all sorts of styles and I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album.”
“Not made into beats for vocalists to use but instead arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish.”
“I put this concept to him when we were hanging out eating some nice food one day and we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine.”
“I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision.”
