If you know the Manchester-based label Modern Love, chances are you know Manchester-based producer Andy Stott, who has produced and released many great works under that label.

Between 2012 and 2014, he released two landmark albums, Luxury Problems, which was named one of Pitchfork's 100 best albums of the decade, and Faith in Strangers, which was named one of RA's album of the year.

And he had a knack for reinventing original, great works from classical music, like ryuichi sakamoto's "Life, Life," which he remodeled to become deeper and darker.

Not to mention, Andy Stott was often immersed in dub techno, this kind of "hard to do" style, at least it wasn't simple repetition. But Andy didn't stop there. He gradually expanded beyond club music.

In 2016, Stott returned with a distinctive new style he described at the time as "knackered house"—sludgy tempos, grainy sounds, dense atmospheres. It was a sharp left turn, but rather than losing followers he seemed to gain many more. RA recorded program for the hit single "New Romantic".

In 2019, Andy Stott's new official album, It Should Be Us, was described by RA as "Deep, spellbinding house and techno from a master of subdued sounds". Pitchfork, while scoring 7.5 points, described the album as: "The Manchester producer’s latest songs take us deep into the catacombs to explore a vision of club music at its most damaged."

Today, Andy Stott is already moving between Techno, Dubstep, and Ambient. His artistic development over the past decade or two has also been exemplary. But no matter how it changes, the darkness, the ethereal, the quiet, always seems to be Andy Stott's music, creating a distant space for the audience.
