Listen: Lone Announces ‘Reality Testing’ Album, Streams ‘2 Is 8’

Matt Cutler aka Lone has announced details for his fifth album, with the now-established producer choosing this time to mix house production and hip-hop influence on lead track ‘2 is 8’.

‘Reality Testing’ comes out on 16th June via R&S Records. ‘I was listening to a lot of Detroit techno and old Chicago house that had the same grain and dirtiness to it as a lot of the hip hop I was listening to,’ Cutler says about the album.

‘That was the real spark - I wanted to make an album that had both hip hop and house beats, but that weren’t completely different from each other, that shared the same sort of vibe. I love the idea of two things sat side by side, but instead of it seeming like they’re complete opposites, [it’s more that] those two things could almost be the same thing.’
