10 iconic Four Tet moments
Kieran Hebden's a musical genius
Making a playlist of music from "Trump's banned countries"
When United States President Donald Trump outrageously said he would be banning immigration of Muslim-majority countries, Four Tet spun the negativity into a playlist of positivity. Hebden had collaborated with Syrian musician Omar Souleyman on 'Bahdeni Nami' in the past, but pointed out that it wouldn't be able to happen again if Trump's order was successfully passed. With that in mind, he decided to go on a hunt of music from countries including Syria, Yemen and Iran and share them via a playlist. He said on Twitter Folkways Recordings was a main location for his search and you can check out his finds here. BTW, the playlist has now been updated with a bunch of other tracks including his new one 'Two Thousand And Seventeen'. Bonus.
