Kieran Hebden (born 1980 in Putney, London, England, United Kingdom) is a post-rock and electronic musician. Hebden first came to prominence as a member of the band Fridge before establishing himself as a solo artist under the moniker of Four Tet.
Hebden's music typically eschews the traditional pop song format in favor of a more abstract approach—his sound and melodies incorporate elements of hip hop, electronica, techno, jazz, and folk music with live instrumentation. His work as Four Tet shares some stylistic similarities with other musicians, such as Prefuse 73, who use computer editing techniques that give the music a staccato, cut-up feel.[citation needed]
Alongside recording his own material, Hebden has also performed remixes for a number of artists including Aphex Twin, Super Furry Animals, Radiohead, Matthew Dear, Nathan Fake, Bloc Party, Andrew Bird, Kings of Convenience, Battles, Madvillain and Black Sabbath. Hebden's recent work includes a number of improvisational collaborations with veteran jazz drummer Steve Reid.

He's been hit or miss for me lately. "Pause" was a great record, especially the second track "Playgrounds" I think, where he uses the same horn sample that Blockhead used for that Aesop "Labor Days" joint. Some of his more recent fusion stuff is alright, cool experimentation and all, I'm just a sucker for the drums. Atmospherics are neat, but I need a beat. Haven't heard this new one yet though, give it a listen over the weekend. Thanks for the link.
