Almost ten years after his last solo album (2009), Matthew Puffett aka Future Beat Alliance makes a long-overdue return with new album Beginner's Mind. The deeply immersive nine-track album is an invitation to "slow down, think mindfully, and see more clearly." Over the course of a career that started in 1996, Matthew Puffett has taken great inspiration from Detroit futurism, mixed it up with his own UK perspective and become synonymous with soulful techno and electro that gazes off into the cosmos. His always emotive, melodic sounds have made for electrifying EPs and absorbing long players on esteemed labels like Tresor, Delsin, Versatile, and Rush Hour, as well as self-releasing on his own Reward System imprint. The last ten years have seen Puffett working closely and collaborating on James Lavelle's UNKLE project. The resulting body of work includes co-writing and programming UNKLE`s fifth studio album, The Road: Part 1 (2017), various film projects and advertising campaigns, and remixing a list of high-profile artists. During this period, UNKLE were winners of the "MPG Remixer Of The Year" award in 2016, 2018, and 2020. In the background, Matthew continued to make his own music and always looked to grow, evolve, and infuse his sounds with new techniques and understanding. It was a collection of this music that eventually got crafted and shaped into new album Beginner's Mind. Puffett's most cohesive record to date is a soothing, escapist listen in these uncertain times and will slow the minds and swell the hearts of all who hear it.
