Four Tet - Bootlegs, Demos and VIPs

Kieran Hebdan or KH, more widely known as Four Tet seems to be in the process of unloading a whole host of previously unreleased content. Last year we were treated to his track "Only Human," an incredible weapon which featured the finally cleared sample of Nelly Furtado. Today we're getting more of that kind of quality, albeit seemingly uncleared. At the time of writing, Hebdan has posted seven tracks, ranging from alternate versions of his own productions to bootlegs like that of "Only Human."

Oggie James · Four Tet - April 28

The first, and likely most exciting track, "LMB KH version" also found fame in his 2018 Essential Mix. The drumline early on in the track reveals it to be his beautiful take on Destiny's Child's "Lose My Breath." Ridiculously resplendent and overflowing with luster, it is exactly what we've come to love about Four Tet/KH. The following two tracks revert back to the Four Tet name as "Angel Echoes" get a VIP version with an upped tempo, while "128 oceans" seems to be a demo from his recent album, Sixteen Oceans. Another KH hit comes next as the percussion again runs rampant in "KH my money's gone." I'm not clear on whether this is a remix or where the sample is from, but it seems this has been played in sets or mixes before as there are a couple comments indicating anticipation around its release. Like the Destiny's Child before, this is another epic, powerful and acid touched offering, which removes int from the following three releases. These last three "Filter drums 132," "Raga to midi W" and "MTS guitar demo" are more generally ethereal and largely unfinished. However this does not preclude them from being brilliant in their own right as "Filter drums 132" has a real sweep you off your feet quality, while the latter two showcase thoughtful, introspective qualities which would make them perfect for mediation and yoga.

Each of these seven tracks is available absolutely free, and in the event that more are released, I will update below. Otherwise, enjoy and be sure to follow Four Tet's socials below for more of his magic.

UPDATE: two more tracks "boy is mine respect" and "Mariah resting her feet on her turntable (Martyn edit)" were uploaded shortly after this post was made. They have been added to the playlist above. Also the Destiny's Child KH version has been deleted. However there are certainly copies circulating.

UPDATE 2: The content dump continues into its second day. Eight new tracks have been added bringing the grand total to 16. He's since tweeted that "SoSick KH VERSION" was the last of them and to be quick with the downloads as they may be taken down. Enjoy while you can!
