Just weeks after sharing a new track to celebrate 1 million Soundcloud followers, Four Tet has loaded 9 tracks onto his Bandcamp – for free. The compilation titled Randoms contains rarities of material crafted between 1996 to 2013. Diehard Four Tet fans may be familiar with some tracks already, as several have already been previously released on compilation albums (where’s that Burial collab, Kieran?!). Here’s what the UK producer has to say about Randoms:
Over the years there have been some pieces of music that I have made specially for compilation projects or have ended being released only as part of a compilation album. As time passes I look back at this music and find the context it was originally put in often feels a bit random now. So I have put together this new album called Randoms that brings together this music in a different way. The oldest track here is Field from 1996, the first Four Tet track ever released on Leaf Records Invisible Soundtracks compilation. The most recent is Gillie Amma I Love You which was made for a charity project called BOATS in 2013. All the tracks here have been released before and I am sure some internet searching will give you the full details if you are interested. Thank you to everyone who originally commissioned and released this music. The artwork for this was made by Jason Evans.
