hector plimmer: next to nothing
Francisco Espregueira
Hector Plimmer is a multi-faceted producer, composer and DJ whose sound is drenched in tribal rhythms and beautifully crafted bass. His second album, Next To Nothing, was released last week, showcasing once again the artist’s ability to create an ocean of sounds for us to dive in and explore. Following his feature on Brownswood Bubblers 11, curated by Gilles Peterson, Plimmer has been a creative force, releasing his acclaimed debut album Sunshine in 2017 and various EP’s, paving the way to this matured project.
Featuring Ego Ella May, Andrew Ashong, Pie Eye Collective, Emma-Jean Thackray and Alexa Harley, Next To Nothing is a voyage into Plimmer’s own musical world, influenced by beat-makers like Flying Lotus and Theo Parrish, but with the subtleties of the classic Metalheadz era drum and bass. Released by Adam Scrimshire & Dave Koor label Albert’s Favourites, this is one of the most awaited projects of the year. Finally here, Next To Nothing is available in vinyl.
