Hint (Tru Thoughts) : Biog : One of the most forward thinking, creative producers working today, Hint continues to reinvent himself and his unmistakable dance floor sound with each release. Having started his career with releases on dusty beats label Hombre, Hint's own brand of 'rural beat' was introduced to an unsuspecting public. Ninja Tune's ears soon pricked and they hunted him down before signing him for an album deal. This resulted in the sublime 'Portakabin Fever' which took our man across the world and back touring one of the most popular releases in the label's history. No mean feat when rubbing shoulders with the likes of Coldcut, Mr Scruff and Bonobo. A certain John Peel also rather liked the breezy instrumental sound of rural Leicester and personally invited Hint to do a live session for his BBC Radio One show. His debut for Tru Thoughts, 'The Tremmuh', made Mr Scruff declare his 'forward thinking awkward dance music, brimming with genius' as the sound that makes him tick. Subsequent EPs for the Brighton beats label have gone on to sell out twice over and confirm Hint as one of the men of the moment in electronic music. Hint's latest release and debut album on Tru Thoughts, ‘Driven From Distraction' has caused quite a stir of late, making everyone stand up and take notice. Featuring collaborations with Kinny, Laura Vane, Gavin Stenhouse and MC Rup, it is a melting pot of contemporary sounds and sensibilities and the most sonically daring release on Tru Thoughts yet. A master of all trades, Hint's DJ sets take in hip hop, house, drum & bass, funk, dance hall, electro, garage, break beat and disco, piecing them together like a diligent jigsaw enthusiast and never losing the flow of your feet.
