Emerging from the electronic music scene is Manchester-born, London-based producer MODEL 86, with his new track 'Friend'.
With its chaotic beats, melodic fizzles and cinematic glitches, the track is taken from his forthcoming debut EP, Self Help Dance, due for release on 18th September. And it's available as a free download, check it out:
Enigmas in modern music are no new thing, but MODEL 86, the moniker of Matthew James Wilcock, takes things further than pseudonyms and masks. His minimalist Facebook profile states his gender as neutral, and this refusal to ascribe to cultural definitions translates to his shape-shifting musical style. Written over the past year, Self Help Dance defies genres, taking influences from modern electronica, 90’s hip hop, film scores, unusual samples and sound design in a style that calls to mind the likes of Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada and Dorian Concept, while retaining a bold originality.
