Lone Interview - Playing This Friday!

Interview with DJ Lone via The Quietus. Lone will be playing at The Hare & Hounds this Friday for clubnight dollop – 7th Birthday Series…

Producer Lone, aka Matt Cutler, talks to Lev Harris about his latest EP Echolocations, explains why he loves The Shining and how he refuses to be pigeonholed…

Rarely does the name of the electronic act define the person who has chosen it as succinctly and effectively as is the case with Lone, aka Matt Cutler. The Nottingham-based producer has been quietly making his way into the mainstream of UK dance music with the release of numerous EPs and three full-length albums Everything Is Changing Colour, Lemurian and Ecstasy and Friends. His sound is ever-changing with gleeful abandon – see tracks like ‘Karen Loves Kate’. Lone, as his name suggests, refuses to stroll amiably into the confines of genre.

Coming off the back of glowing praise from fellow artists ranging from James Holden to Kode9, Lone’s latest EP, Echolocations, is arguably the most fully realised of his releases to date. Through integrating a more Detroit techno groove into his characteristically reflective and whimsical melodies, he has created an intelligent and absorbing batch of songs that more than prove that he is capable of holding down his place at the forefront of British electronic music Not bad for someone whose roots rather modestly began in the bedroom as a child producer, dabbling in hip-hop, rave, hardcore and techno.

Here’s what to expect from dollop…

dollop & This Is Tmrw presents: dollop 7th Birthday Series – Lone (Magic Wire Recordings) – “Pineapple Crush” single was the first demonstration of Lone’s new-found love affair with Detroit techno and classic rave, but with his new mini-album, Emerald Fantasy Tracks, the transformation just might be complete as he showcases upbeat vibes, warm synths, hands-in-the-air moments, unbridled energy and glowing enthusiasm.
