On one hell of a roll, Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, continues to churn out mesmerizing productions at a dizzying rate. Just last week, he dropped a divine remix of Krust's "Negative Returns" and since authored the followup to his 2011 collaboration with Burial & Thom Yorke in vinyl-only release Her Revolution / His Rope. But that's not all, Friday he's set to be featured as part of a 40-piece locked groove, charity compilation in support of the ACLU and Liberty UK. Alongside the likes of HAIM, Mura Masa, Overmono, Skrillex and others, the compilation features 1.8-second (one bar) circular grooves that repeat until the needle is raised. However, this is not the loop Four Tet is spinning.
Tuesday, Hebden marked the first of December with a seemingly infinite loop entitled "🔴🌏⭕🔵🌕📀🌍⚫💿🌎🐦🐧🐤🌎💿⚫🌍📀🌕🔵⭕🌏🔴." Playing since 5 PM GMT, it's currently unclear whether this is an extension of the loop from the aforementioned PLZ Make It Ruins' Locked Grooves 12" or something else entirely. Paired with cool art from Anna Liber Lewis and additional merch designed by Lewis (available here), this infinite loop brings together Four Tet's trademark breathtaking ambiance, sublime, plucky percussion and savvy sample work. Lacing the acid touched track with what appears to be Ariana Grande vocals, it seems unlikely that this loop will find a proper release, but we can certainly hope.
