Andy Stott (b. 1979) has done a lot to push Manchester based Modern Love to the forefront of bass heavy techno over the last two years with his subtle but powerful approach. His music seamlessly spans the dub-tech divide, bringing a complex and idiosyncratic signature style to productions that are impossible to pigeonhole. Influenced by the classic producers like Carl Craig and Basic Channel, he draws too from early IDM and plumbs the depths of UK dub for deep bass and melancholy backdrops. Stott also incorporates treated piano and a myriad other style snippets. In only two years, Stott has risen to the forefront of bass heavy techno with his subtle but powerful approach.
