Four Tet

Four Tet is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, Nathan Fake, William Onyeabor, Music Has the Right to Children and Jon Hopkins. Those roots explain a lot about how Four Tet arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Floating Points, Caribou, Rival Consoles, Daphni and Burial, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into HNNY, Catching Flies, Caribou, Burial and Thom Yorke, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 69 connections around Four Tet, reaching back through An Introduction to Ellie Goulding and forward to HNNY. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
