Four Tet

Oh, absolutely.

Producers like Four Tet or Floating Points.

Mm.

When you are listening to a really good driving techno or house track, and it feels less like a machine ticking and more like the drums are actually breathing and singing to you, well, that is the echo of Sabu and Arsenio.

Yeah.

But around that era I remember like this like mix circulating on the, er- in early online days of like his pre-show music, and it had like Four Tet and all this stuff on it.

Yeah.

And I was like, "Man, Bruce is really, he's hip."

Those are the track titles, yeah.

The one thing about it, it says is the release or sorry, the English musician Kieran Hebden goes under the alias.

It says it was released with like a lot of people really liked it.

it is a really good album I listened to it in the car and you should see the the Kia Soul try and put the name of this each track as it plays them on my little display screen

he

you know

uh he he apparently is like uh like resets the band obviously resets the band all the time but i think to the dismay of the performers who work with them like his musicians i think he's cleared out people

oh really i

And this is a really, really nice throwback to that sort of like, um, nat-- just sort of organic sort of electronic style with the sort of mixing like actual drumming with, you know, sort of distorted electronic, um, kind of instrumentation.

Reminds me a lot of like very early Four Tet almost, sort of like the Rounds era.

And, uh, there are plenty of other artists that are doing that, but that's sort of the first thing that kind of I gravitate towards for a little bit, and that's, that's a good thing.

That was like-- that is one of his best albums.

Yeah, Opal with the...

Fortet remix of Bicep.

This is Rob's lucky dip.

Yes.

They got a big 2026 summer tour thing going on.

but then design and programming and running visual effects for MGK, Fortet, Side Piece, and Mary Droppins.

And then his work has been featured heavily at premier festivals like Coachella, EDC Vegas, and Lightning in a Bottle.

several years spent working his way up to a senior production manager at the uh experience at the experience experiential entertainment complex area 15 in vegas and dude so very 15 is this like the world's first purpose-built immersive entertainment and art district located in vegas situated at 1.5 to 3.5 miles for a seven-minute drive west of the Las Vegas Strip.

The energy of a festival like Coachella can really change the dynamics of a performance.

Agreed, and Fred again, closing with Skrillex and Fortet last time was unforgettable.

I know, right? His style is all about collaboration.

It would be interesting to see who he teams up with this time.
