Biography

1) Known to his friends and family as Matt Cutler, Lone started life as a bedroom child producer in Nottingham experimenting with hiphop, early 90’s hardcore, techno and electronic music for years before dropping his lush, dream-hop début opus “Lemurian” on local label Dealmaker back in 2008 to critical acclaim from all areas of the industry, including a top 10 of the year slot from Bleep, props from Kode9, Rustie, James Holden and countless others.

This was quickly followed by a remix on Warp Records for Bibio and a deal with Actress’ London label Werk Discs, where he released the follow-up album “Ecstasy & Friends”, which merged an endless range of styles including 80’s funk, 90’s hiphop and his trademark - hazy, sun-drenched melodies inspired by long time heroes Boards of Canada.

With his warped out sound locked down by 2009, Lone has switched things up for ‘10, concentrating on a much heavier Chicago house/techno and early 90’s London rave sound aimed at destroying parties while simultaneously staying true to his beautiful, nostalgic melodic style. With the Kode9 backed “Once in a While” tune about to drop on Werk Discs and “Pineapple Crush” coming on his own Magic Wire label, support from artists and DJ’s such as Mr. Scruff, µ-Ziq, Glasgow’s LuckyMe crew, Machinedrum, FaltyDL and Rinse FM’s Alex Nut - Lone is one of the most exciting young producers out there, and certainly one to watch for the future.

    listening to Lemurian after E&F is superunderwhelming on some level. but you can see his progression from simplistic loops and hooks to full-on jams, as well as the jump in his production skills. and considering he's put out so much more since 2009, i'm pretty sure it only gets better :D

    @p-hop No problem man, that track in particular just completely blew my mind. I need it.

    Yo, his entire album "Everything Is Changing Colour" fits really well with IDM/ambient hip-hop/minimal electronic stuff for playlists and mixes. Synths have a nice BoC-ish drone. Really different from his current releases too.

    YouAreInvited, thanks for getting me to check out Lone's soundcloud page. Can't wait for those tracks to end up on an album. Ghost Channel reminds me of his more ambient tracks from Everything is Changing Colour.

    Galaxy Garden is great, I love Emerald Fantasy Tracks and Ecstasy and Friends. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses, but I keep going back to Lemurian (and Sing a New Sapling Into Existence) again and again. It just fills this musical craving that nothing else can do for me. Whether I am feeling laid back or getting pumped to do some work, they always get me in the right mood.

    It's an incredible track, but everything else on the album is incredible too so that's why it's not top.

    Why isn't "Dream Girl/Sky Surfer" the top track in the charts? Blows every other track away from Galaxy Garden [4 ]
