Stack by Hector Plimmer
This first taste of new music from Hector Plimmer shows an undeniable development in his sound. A collaboration with fellow south-east London producer Pie Eye Collective, Stack is a tougher, denser sound. Still featuring his trademark honesty in production, nothing is over done, subtle detail weaves throughout this concise introduction, but a new energy of house and broken beat bumpiness push through.
The release also includes a big remix from Bambooman. Exploring the off-centre rhythm and yet anchoring it in a more direct drive into dancefloor territory. Huge bass, insistent claps and the endless promise of euphoric synths bubbling beneath it all.
Born and raised in South London, Hector Plimmer is a multi-faceted producer, composer and DJ who’s debut full-length record, ‘Sunshine’ was met with rapturous acclaim. Album Of The Week for Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music, the record also received love from Lauren Lavern and Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music Recommends), as well as Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2. And its success on the airwaves transcended to streaming with the inclusion in the top 50 viral US chart on Spotify and a constant presence in Jazz and electronica playlists across many platforms.
As a DJ Hector has a monthly slot on NTS radio. He has played alongside the likes of Gilles Peterson, Kutmah, Alexander Nut, MNDSGN, Onra, Dego, Kaidi, Max Graef & Glenn Astro; Hector finds himself in the good company of those talented selectors who play genres across the spectrum of Hip-hop, Beats, Funk, Soul, Disco, Afro-beat, House and Jazz.
Last year saw the launch of his live performances. Flanked by Dave Koor and Tim Doyle on keys and percussion, with Vocalist And Is Phi heading up the quartet.
Recent performances have included supporting Nightmares on Wax, Amp Fiddler, Yussef Dayes and Flako. Key festival performances include Glastonbury, The Great Escape and Brainchild.
