This Friday: Four Tet, Caribou, Nathan Fake, James Holden, Rocketnumbernine

I know right? That doesn't even sound like a real line up, it sounds more like a dream.

It's real, it's happening and I'm there. To be honest, I'd be excited if this was just another chance to see the wonderful Four Tet again. The fact he's curated the night and has put on two other incredible DJ's, one of the makers of album of the year in Caribou and the first signing to his label in Rocketnumbernine tells you just how strong and varied this line up is. Props to Eat Your Own Ears for letting this happen, whatever it's costing you, it's going to be a MASSIVE night.

Here's a beautifully shot video from the first time I saw Four Tet, earlier this year at The Dome. If you ever have a chance to see him, I cannot emphasise enough just how much you need that experience in your life. Even if you're someone that knows next to nothing of his back catalogue, you will be blown away by the textures he builds, his choice of sounds and he gives a masterclass on how to build atmospheric and absorbing pieces.

Your are absolutely right but then I am biased as I am Fourtet's father. Enjoy the concert and best wishes.
