Four Tet Drops Nelly Furtado Edit Under His KH Alias

'Only Human' is online now...

Four Tet returns to his KH alias on new release 'Only Human'.

The track has been a feature of his sets for some time, but failed to gain an official release due to the prominent use of material written by Nelly Furtado.

Wheeled up into an electronic frenzy, 'Only Human' is scarcely recognisable as its source material, an entrancing, deeply rhythmic workout designed with the club in mind.

Finally clearing that Nelly Furtado sample, Kieran Hebden has decided to release 'Only Human' under his KH alias, a rare honour given it has only been used twice before.

Here's a note from the producer:

The Nelly Furtado track was playing in the kitchen and I heard that chanting vocal at the end and it just came into my head to use that bit to make a track to DJ with.

I made it that day and then soon after I played it at Rainbow Disco Club in Japan and it was big so I sent it to Ben UFO. He played it a bunch said it was big too and the track ID people were going crazy. I sent it to Peggy Gou and Joy O and Midland and we were all playing it out and everyone was hyped at the festivals and sending me mad videos.

After I got sent this Instagram video with the crowd at Dekmantel I decided I should try and release it so I called Ministry of Sound to help make that happen.

Tune in now.
