Stamp The Wax - Monday Morning Mixtape 368

NTS/ Rhythm Section

Contours is the project of musician, producer and DJ Tom Burford. Based in Manchester, Contours’ sound explores the spaces, rhythms and textures that sit between House, Jazz, Latin, broken-beat and Hip Hop. 

Having been exposed to an eclectic range of music from an early age, Contours DJ sets traverse a litany of sounds and influences. Growing up playing drums and percussion, Contours’ productions draw heavily upon this, incorporating rhythms from Africa and Latin America coupled with those more often heard spilling out of dark sweaty basement clubs. This fusion creates an infectious blend of the electronic and the organic, the live and the programmed. Samples, field recordings and live instrumentation all form part of Contours sound and approach, where building a groove is at the core of all his music. Contours sound has seen him find a home on London's Rhythm Section imprint alongside the likes of Al Dobson Jr, Henry Wu and Chaos in the CBD. 

Contours has since gone on to release music with labels including Tru Thoughts, Shall Not Fade, Fly high Society, On the Corner and Far out. His productions have received support from the likes of Alex Nut, Mr Scruff, Benji B, Moxie and Cottam. 

As well as his productions, Contours sound is channelled via two monthly radio shows on both NTS and Reform Radio where he touches upon music from all over the world.
