Biography

Hannant became a hip-hop/electro DJ in 1986 after witnessing the 1986 World Mixing Championships. During 1993–1994, he released several solo albums on General Production Recordings rooted in ambient techno. His music from this period has been described as eclectic, densely layered, and textured.

Hannant's album Texturology (1994) resulted in a top three independent Album Chart placing. Music from the album was used in a theatre presentation of the seventeenth-century play The Traitor.

By 1994, Hannant began to diversify: he provided remixes for Autechre, Björk, and Ned's Atomic Dustbin, produced Lida Husik (who provided the vocals to some of his compositions), and managed Shed Seven. Along with his long-term engineer Richard Brown, Hannant started the trip hop duo Outcast, signing to indie label One Little Indian in 1996.
