Known to his friends and family as Matt Cutler, Lone started life as a bedroom child producer in Nottingham experimenting with hip-hop, early 90s hardcore, techno and electronic music for years before dropping his lush, dream-hop début opus 'Lemurian' on local label Dealmaker back in 2008 to critical acclaim from all areas of the industry. This was quickly followed by a remix on Warp Records for Bibio and a deal with Actress' London label Werk Discs where he released the follow up album 'Ecstasy & Friends' which merged an endless range of styles including 80s funk, 90s hip hop and his trademark hazy, sun drenched melodies inspired by long time heroes Boards Of Canada. With his warped out sound locked down by 2009, Lone has switched things up for '10, concentrating on a much heavier Chicago house / techno and early 90's London rave sound aimed at destroying parties while simultaneously staying true to his beautiful, nostalgic melodic style.

On a roll since his brilliant Emerald Fantasy Tracks album last year, Lone appears with more old-school electro inspired tracks with a ravey UK edge on R&S. Rich and grainy synths, gently primed house beats and his knack for effortlessly blissful moods prevail. Dynamite release, don't miss!
