Words & interview by Jules Hallam.

Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet has become the quintessential electronica artist of his generation. His career's spanned from trimming hip hop and jazz samples in a garden shed, which underpinned his seminal 2003 LP Rounds, through to curating an unhinged live project with Steve Reid, collaborating with enigmatic producer Burial and Radiohead's Thom Yorke and most recently being inducted into the fabriclive mix series.
Describing it as his "love letter to London", we met at Field Day 2011 to perform a fabriclive 59 postmortem alongside musing London's culture and touching upon his Ego/Mirror project.

[@freddiephillips678]

He kept so cool when he was talking about his Burial & Thom Yorke collab, but we all know he's fucking chuffed. Such a modest legend

[@willbournerv2259]

Freddie Phillips “it was cool”

[@objet_aa9492]

the fact that Grimes is playing in the background is truly historical

[@JoshMilch]

😭

[@emie1170]

for real?

[@densef0liage]

At the start, it's Light Asylum - Dark Allies. Not Grimes. I am assuming it is a Light Asylum set but I don't know a lot of their tracks other than that one.

[@grifforama]

Why is it "Truly Historical" ?

[@Wackaz]

Four Tet is such a cool dude.
I miss this era.

[@mariano.mp3]

He's even cooler now I guess hahaha

[@x.a.t.u]

@@mariano.mp3 yes

[@sapanacharya1365]

Such a humble legend

[@jclark687]

His sound perfectly reflects his philosophy towards his production process

[@ARAGORN41]

A master of his craft, along with Burial.

[@flycakelol]

5:06 what you came for

[@gabrielarmstrong1887]

wierd

[@Shaun.is.typing]

Yep 🙏

[@DJYungHoxha]

Man, do you ever sleep?

[@greenc1088]

lol

[@Professor-Scientist]

Darkest eyes I've ever seen

[@earl3736]

This video is so early 2000s.

[@fijiarc2090]

How so? It was filmed in 2011

[@JoshMilch]

excellent interview

[@rasikasilva5172]

Burial and Four Tet used to know each in school in Putney I think.

[@seagers_studio]

clever bloke. good interview

[@jazsi_]

Cool interview.

[@thisisbeacon]

light asylum in the background. nice 1

[@stupidnicks]

love the guy

[@merzbowvstheworld]

Probably the late nights DJing at clubs and having to do normal every-day stuff during the day. The life of a DJ/producer is very nocturnal!

[@Bad_handle]

Wait so four yet and burial are NOT the same person?

[@kimberleybarrett6752]

Playing with the flower pot....... I LOVE HIM ....

[@aajr95]

yeah, i know
that was the sarcasm in the "amirite"
burial will probably never show his face

[@willbournerv2259]

Adam Johnson he has shown his face

[@LOADINGNEO]

is there any way I could listen to this mix there talking about in the first question?

[@1337dubstepaa]

I say "Berial" now, that was three months ago.
I'm Australian so I was actually saying it incorrectly.

[@haakonlunde]

Light Asylum plays in the background. :)

[@xhardxcorexfoox]

his eyes are so dark and baggy. its trippy

[@XxTuma15xX]

Never going to happen. Never.

[@harveyunderthewood]

Extremely intelligent guy. Not burial though.

[@emie1170]

we wish

[@Turb1ne]

This is not true. They did collaborate, but Burial is an even more enigmatic producer who is also based in London.

[@1337dubstepaa]

He says Berial, not Burial, is that right or is it just me?
Thanks for any feedback.

[@one_man_community]

Interesting. It might grow on me. So far I call him Burial.

[@Baddroneflying]

Berial is how burial is pronounced though. They sound exactly the same in any form of British English accent

[@somaticjet2717]

Most native English speakers say Berial. Pretty sure nobody says Boorial.

[@M_askie]

He looks like an indian High Contrast haha :P Makes some friggin awesome tunes though!

[@RichHoy]

Indian High Contrast!!! Hahahahahahaha!!! That's brilliant!!

[@valerianTriangle]

@Renneskid OMG I see it too! I THINK THEYRE STARTING TO WORK!

[@XxTuma15xX]

Well i mean an on screen -show his face- interview is never going to happen.
