u:mack's club night Static is set to return in 2009,
with a residency in Dublin's Andrew's Lane Theatre.
We've lined up some great guests for the launch night
on saturday febuary 28.We're really thrilled that the
headline act is a live set by the wonderful Four Tet.
Tim Exile will also be performing live. Tim has just
signed to Warp records, and he's the label's most
exciting signing since Battles. we've been lucky
enough to hear some of his forthcoming album (due out
in March) and its really amazing. Sunken Foal, whose
fantastic new album Fallen Arches is available now on
Planet Mu will open the show.
We've got some great acts lined up to play at static
over the first half of this year, including some
artists we've been trying to book for years, and we'll
be working hard to keep the line up's diverse. we're
really happy to do be doing the club in Andrews Lane,
ever since we had Liars play there in june 2008 we've
wanted to set up a regular club night there. We'll be
announcing more line ups real soon
FOUR TET
Kieran Hebden began releasing material as Four Tet in
1998 with the 36 minute, 25 second single
Thirtysixtwentyfive on Trevor Jackson's Output
Recordings label. Later that year, he released a
second single, the jazz-influenced "Misnomer". 1999's
Dialogue, again on Output, was Four Tet's first
full-length album release and fused hip hop drum lines
with dissonant jazz samples. This was followed by the
double A-side single "Glasshead"/"Calamine", which was
to be Four Tet's last release on Output.
In late 1999, Warp Records released Warp 10 + 3:
Remixes, a tenth-anniversary compilation of remixes of
Warp tracks; Hebden contributed a remix of the opening
track of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume
II. This relatively high profile exposure attracted
new interest in Four Tet from fans of electronica and
intelligent dance music, genres in which the Warp
brand has a preeminent status.
In 2001, Four Tet's second album Pause was released on
Domino Records and found Hebden using more folk and
electronic samples, which was quickly dubbed
"folktronica" by the media and press in an attempt to
label the style (often also applied to artists such as
Isan and Gravenhurst). Rounds was released in May
2003. It was Hebden's most ambitious album to date,
incorporating diverse samples such as the mandolin on
"Spirit Fingers" and a rubber duck on the closing
track "Slow Jam". Three singles were released from the
album: "She Moves She", "As Serious as Your Life", and
"My Angel Rocks Back and Forth". This last single was
released as an EP featuring remixes by electronica duo
Icarus and Isambard Khroustaliov along with additional
Four Tet tracks "I've Got Viking in Me" and "All the
Chimes". An accompanying DVD featured all of Four
Tet's videos to date. In addition, the closing track
"Slow J! am" was featured in a U.S. Nike commercial in
2001 and 2002; Hebden edited the track on the back of
the bus with his laptop while on a tour with Fridge.
At the beginning of 2003, Four Tet opened for
Radiohead on their European tour. A remix of the song
"Scatterbrain" from Radiohead's sixth studio album
Hail to the Thief was included on their 2004 EP COM
LAG (2plus2isfive). Furthermore, Hebden was among the
people thanked by Radiohead in the booklet
accompanying their 2007 In Rainbows "discbox" release.
A live album named Live in Copenhagen 30th March 2004
was released in April 2004 as a limited edition,
available only through the Domino Records website.
In March and April 2005, Four Tet performed two shows
of improvisational music, in collaboration with jazz
drummer Steve Reid, in Paris and London. He also
appears on Steve Reid Ensemble 2005 album Spirit Walk.
This collaboration was extended into a series of
international tours, and the release of two albums,
The Exchange Session Vol. 1 and The Exchange Session
Vol. 2 over the course of 2005 and 2006.
His fourth studio album Everything Ecstatic was
released on Domino on 23 May 2005. The video for the
lead single, "Smile Around the Face", features actor
Mark Heap. The album brought with it another shift in
style, leaving behind the breezy "folktronica" of
Pause and Rounds for a darker, more complex sound. On
7 November 2005, Domino has released a DVD version of
Everything Ecstatic featuring video clips for each
track of the album plus a CD with new material.
Hebden has also remixed, under the Four Tet name,
tracks by a wide range of artists including
Madvillain, Andrew Bird, Bloc Party, Super Furry
Animals, Beth Orton, Badly Drawn Boy, The Notwist,
Boom Bip, Battles, Kings of Convenience, Steve Reich,
Lars Horntveth, Bonobo, Rothko, Thom Yorke and
Radiohead. On 25 September 2006, Domino Records
released Remixes, a two-disc compilation of Four Tet
remixes. The first disc contains twelve Four Tet
remixes selected by Hebden, with the second disc
comprising of every official remix to date (both by
Hebden himself and by other artists) of Four Tet
tracks, many of which had previously been available on
vinyl [email protected] A new EP, Ringer,
was released on 21 April 2008.
TIM EXILE
The man who never sits down has found a seat. Those
who know Tim's work to date might know his
high-intensity improvised live sets, his precision
adrenaline electronics or his earlier drum and bass
and techno releases.
After recently signing with Warp records, his prism
has shifted in a plane unknown along a vector untold
to a bold and shining orientation. Listen and you'll
hear the sound of flight to heart and hearth, distant
voices of the unity of man and universe and the
spectral saturation of waves of creation crashing on
the shore of destruction.
Unbutton your future and come and see the other side.
