South London-based producer Peter Ibbetson - known for performing live with George Fitzgerald and Makeness – makes his solo debut with eclectic ‘Rivals’ EP.
 
Lead single ‘Wednesday’ is a statement of intent for the accomplished multi-instrumentalist, blending layered melodies with pounding 808 kicks to create a finished product on a level with the likes of Caribou or Four Tet.

The expansive producer counts Aphex Twin, Brian Eno and Radiohead as influences, which thunderously collide to create his kaleidoscopic sonic compositions. ‘Rivals’ promises to make its mark in 2018 and introduce Peter Ibbetson as an emerging talent within the thriving London electronic scene.

'Matching an awareness of club tropes to a willingness to step outside the boundaries, his sound fractures expectations to unveil something new.
EP 'Rivals' is his broadest statement yet, worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or James Holden in its stark ability within sound engineering.' - @clashmagazine

Peter Ibbetson - Rivals (Makeness Dub)

Premiered at https://soundcloud.com/clashmusic 

South London producer Peter Ibbetson is an exacting talent, someone who wants to make sure each detail is in its right place.
Matching an awareness of club tropes to a willingness to step outside the boundaries, his sound fractures expectations to unveil something new.
Incoming EP 'Rivals' is his broadest statement yet, worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or James Holden in its stark ability within sound engineering.
Ahead of the EP's release we're able to share the Makeness remix of Peter Ibbetson's 'Rivals', an undulating piece of digital abstraction, forever in evolution but remarkably succinct.

Rivals (Makeness Remix)

Written, Performed and Produced by Peter Ibbetson

South London electronic artist Peter Ibbetson returns with the lead single and title-track from his second EP, ‘Control Yourself’, out 5th June.

“a polished body of work, draped in modern electronics and textured synths.” - XLR8R

“an undulating piece of digital abstraction, forever in evolution but remarkably succinct … worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or James Holden” - Clash

“an impeccably layered slice of modern electronic music … It's intelligent. It's original. It's excellent.” - PopMatters


Following on from the ‘Rivals’ EP, ‘Control Yourself’ is a heady mix of analog synthesisers, live drums and expansive soundscapes creating a multi textured, layered journey through ambient, house, post rock and techno.

‘Control Yourself’ is an evolvement in concept, bringing together influence from Boards of Canada, Caribou, Tortoise, Four Tet, LCD Soundsystem and Aphex Twin. Speaking on the essence of the new project, Peter Ibbetson adds: “Control Yourself is a reaction to the idea of restricting yourself in creating music, forcing yourself to break away from your creative habits, and open your ears and head to new possibilities.”

Peter Ibbetson has cut his teeth already touring regularly as part of the live outfits for George Fitzgerald and Makeness, so it’s no surprise to see his original work emerging fully formed and thriving. With more live shows on the horizon 2019 looks promising.

South London electronic artist Peter Ibbetson reveals ‘Thistle Hotels’, the next single from his forthcoming second EP ‘Control Yourself’. The deep track builds to a blissful late night conclusion over six minutes of impeccably layered electronics.

Thistle Hotels

"The new track is huge in scale, building intricate drum patterns and an ever expanding wall of sound to an almost overwhelming apex of pulsing bass, percussion and melodies … Ibbetson clearly has a bright future ahead of him” - @complex-uk

“an undulating piece of digital abstraction, forever in evolution but remarkably succinct … worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or James Holden” - @clashmagazine

“a beautiful construction of ambient textures” - @earmilk

Peter Ibbetson releases the third track from the forthcoming EP, titled 'Then There Was...'

Following from the visceral live sound of 'Control Yourself' and the BBC6 Music championed ambient techno of 'Thistle Hotels', ‘Then There Was ...’ mixes all the sonic elements from Ibbetson’s previous outings. Expansive ambient synth textures with bubbling electronic drum programming and live percussion build the track to a techno inspired climax.

‘Then There Was...’ is about taking time and allowing the
various elements of the track to exist individually before gradually building to combine together creating a powerful soundscape reminiscent of Jon Hopkins, Rival Consoles and Nathan Fake.

Then There Was...

Goodbye
