Lone Interview & Download

Here's another interview following Lone's album 'Ecstasy & Friends'.

Read the interview from the guys at http://www.back-and-forth.net/

"B&F: Where did your interest in music production begin?

Lone: Listening to bootleg rave tapes and the altern8 album. I could tell that stuff wasn’t created by live instruments or anything and was fascinated by what exactly it was made with. As I grew up, I started to find out how it was all done. I’m the sort of person that when i get interested in something I want to make my own version of it, so I think I was probably always going to end up doing this."

Ecstasy & Friends available now

Here's a review of the new Lone album 'Ecstasy & Friends' from FACT magazine.

"The latest full-length release from UK house auteur Actress's Werk Discs label (also home of Lukid, and sometimes Zomby) takes the form of Ecstasy and Friends, the third long player from Matt Culter, the Nottingham-based producer best known as Lone.

Picking up where critically acclaimed - and pretty damn good - 2008 LP Lemurian left off, Lone produces sophisticated, soul-infused instrumentals that look to California's sun-kissed beat scene while adding his own crunching, melody-heavy take. Going heavy on the synths and 808s, Lone effortlessly weaves his sound between soul, hip-hop and house like some amorphous (day)dream state. "
