The case now having been settled, we are glad to be able to dedicate our full attention to resourcing and supporting our artists and we wish Kieran continued success in his career. There had been an outcry from the artist community when the indie label took down the albums - Pause, Rounds and Everything Ecstatic - and other music by Four Tet during the ongoing legal battle over the contract signed in 2001. Domino said it was saddened by the case.

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.

Four Tet has always been one to flirt with dubstep and bass music, given by his love of tunes like The Bug’s ‘Skeng’ or Skream’s ‘2-D.’ But since he first went b2b with Skrillex in 2015, it seems that they’ve been sharing American bass music together ever since.

Retrieved 22 November 2021.Neither the Courts, nor the settlement terms, have made any determination as to how streaming should be categorised or streaming income split. Hebden has been releasing music since 1997 under a variety of names, including Four Tet, Percussions, 00110100 01010100 and ⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ ̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ, as well as in collaboration with artists such as Steve Reid, Geoff McIntire (as Dempsey) and Adem Ilhan and Sam Jeffers (as Fridge). Many may call this too boring or simple to be revered so highly, but they are entirely missing the point. You might disagree with me here, but is there anything more difficult than making an alien sound gather enough ground to merge into another to form the basis of a beat which will then mangle with another layer soon enough? What so many artists in the IDM genre have done, reminds me of how sometimes we forget how to pronounce a “fancy” word and so kind cough or murmur to pass it off. In the same way, I have a feeling that IDM artists truly aren’t capable of making that transition smooth and so have layer upon layer fill up the space, so we just hear this “cough” while the fancy word is being spoken. Take any of the thin layers of high caliber acts like M83 or low caliber acts like Richard Devine and see if these single layers could live on their own. It’s a safety blanket that even Four Tet had mildly used on his previous release but no more.

As a walking Four Tet-encyclopedia ( as Alessio has kindly put it before on FUXWITHIT), I’m having the time of my life right now. Four Tet’s career is not only one of raw experimentation and glistening synths, but also an unpretentious appreciation for popular music. He’s no stranger to crossover success, displayed by his decades-long catalog of official remixes for acts as varied as Ellie Goulding, Rihanna, Mura Masa, Explosions in the Sky, Madvillain, Radiohead, The xx, and too many more to name. Three albums released between 2001 and 2005 that Domino removed from Spotify and other streaming services in November 2021 have now returned for fans to stream in full. On 29 August 2019, Hebden had released a collection of three brand new songs as part of an EP called Anna Painting. The project was made in collaboration with painter Anna Liber Lewis, and features artwork by Liber Lewis in the release.Blashill, Pat (15 May 2003). "Four Tet: Rounds". Rolling Stone. p.134.

There has been widespread hand-wringing that the gatekeeping power of Spotify playlists now makes for homogenised, non-offensive musical blandness, but Four Tet’s blithe excursions, while chiming with that zeitgeist, are so much more than chillout wallpaper.

Krol, Charlotte (2 December 2020). "Thom Yorke, Burial and Four Tet share vinyl-only collaborations 'Her Revolution' and 'His Rope' ". Nme.com . Retrieved 4 December 2020. Rounds was ranked number four on the Metacritic list of highest-scoring albums of 2003, [33] and was named as one of the best albums of 2003 by many publications, including the NME, [34] The Wire, [35] The Observer, [36] Prefix, [37] Pitchfork, [38] Drowned in Sound, [39] Collective, [40] The Face, Q and Uncut. [41] For all that he covets integrity, it is Hebden’s adaptability and anti-snobbery that have charged his winning new era. In this respect, he and Fred Again are peas in a pod. They met two years ago, after some badgering from the younger producer. Hebden eventually agreed to meet for dinner. “I thought he was trying to make music in a very similar area to me and we’d be getting in each other’s way,” Hebden says with a laugh. When they finally hung out, “the music seemed almost irrelevant. I thought: ‘Oh my God, we’re going to be great friends.’ That’s the motivation.” In 2017, Four Tet’s remix of The xx's “A Violent Noise” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording. HOMETOWN London, England Four Tet, Fred Again and Skrillex see out Coachella in April Photograph: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for CoachellaThis first of two sold-out nights at one of London’s biggest venues marks a fresh career high. Last year, Four Tet delivered a live set of New Energy over four nights in a substantially smaller London boîte, Village Underground, which dance-music bible Mixmag declared to be “the best live show in the world”.The context presumably included the over-the-top antics of EDM DJs, with their helmets, masks and arena-pop levels of crass production.
