Secret Life, with Brian Eno, is out nowww
On Kierans label, Text Records.
This makes me really incredibly happy. Which is kinda weird actually when I think about how much sadness this was born from. Actually maybe that’s kinda nice.

I kinda only sing on my records when I feel like I need to say something that I can’t find a sample to say for me. And yeh these were some things I needed to say.

@FourTet

❤️❤️❤️
When I first heard this sample it was like 6am and I was sort of numb. And it resonated wit me, but not in a like ‘oh yes I totally feel this’ kinda way
More in a ‘I wish a could totally feel this’ kinda way.
Okayyyyyyy
So sorry for the delay
Studio live 3 is out nowwww
This is my favourite one of these we’ve done I think
A lot of lovely surprises in there
Thank you for all the messages asking for a 3rd one
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So a few days ago I played a show in LA and my friend theo was filming stuff in the crowd. He stumbled across this absolutely beauuutiful moment right at the back of it all.
Alriiiiight THE NEXT SONG FROM ACTUAL LIFE 3 IS OUTTTTTT
This song samples a very dear friend of mine
@KamilleXX
She is one of the greatest singers/writers/people on the planet. I absolutely adore her.
Strong wit our rave angel romy is outtttttt.
I’ve been playing this song in sets for 2 years now & I wanna say how much I appreciate everyone who’s messaged about it! And your patience! But yes above all to romy who is perhaps the most kind soft & sensitive person I’ve ever met.
Zane was the voice of radio for me when I was growing up.
So to do my first in depth interview like this wit him was a total honour.
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

@FourTet

@kamille
and I jus wanna do a post to shoutout the awesome people who we got to do it with.
People keep asking me what smile on my face is about. And I sorta think the beautiful thing about music is it’s totally up to each individual person to decide.
Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022) is out on 28th October!

This is where everything I make began. Carlos. Actual Life 1.
Since the boiler room there’s been quite a few new peeps so i thought I should share some of the music that led us here.
It all began with Carlos, a construction worker I met in Atlanta
1. I remember verrrrrry clearly hearing
@leifvollebekk
for the first time. My brother played me his song elegy in a Uber home in london one night a few years ago. I then became obsessed with all his albums, and then we worked together, and then we became friends!
@brianeno
I originally wrote this song about having a panic attack in a club, and needing your person to pull you out of it. Obviously totally inspired by Delilah’s beautiful words. Im so happy it’s out and soon all of actual life 333333333
❤️🙏❤️
Ok so as some of you have noticed this morning all the tunes from the last few months have become a playlist called USB.
I called it that because all of the tunes have been inspired by playing out in raves n shit.
To me this song is about a time I sorta had a panic attack in a club and needing your person to pull you out of it, so the moment at the end when they both stand up and jump away feels particularly muchhh to me.
It was the first time I’d really sampled in this way, like from jus clips of real people talking and stuff, and it set me off on what would become actual life… which I’m still obsessed wit today, and totally changed my life
❤️
draw this line in the sand.

Because we’re going in to actual life 3 now. And that to me is a different kind of world, if that makes sense. And fuck me it’s a world I can’t WAIT for you to hear.

on the new episode of The FADER Interview.
When I started doin this type of sampling and stuff the feeling I loved was it feeling like a sort of collaborative diary. But I could never have anticipated like just how collaborative that feeling would become and how many people would share in it.
