Chet Faker

Shrouded in secrecy, hidden behind an alias and disguised by a beard, Chet Faker enjoys the mystery.

Hailing from the tight-knit disco and house music scene in Melbourne, Australia and taking elements from an acoustic past, Chet Faker has carved out a unique style that fuses personal stories of love and loss with an electronica soul that reaches far beyond his homeland.

Chet quickly came to everyone's attention when his cover of 'No Diggity' by Blackstreet hit #1 on the worldwide indie music aggregator, Hype Machine.

The debut EP 'Thinking in Textures' will be out in Australia through Remote Control/Opulent on March 23. The first track to be heard from the release is 'Terms and Conditions', a gorgeously penned track hard to categorise from this part jazz, part soul and part electronic artist.

The EP is also scheduled for release in the UK by Chess Club Records on March 26 following recent radio success. BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe played 'I'm Into You' in his Next Hype section, and Mary Anne Hobbs from XFM has also been giving 'Terms and Conditions' a few spins.

He recently supported Toro y Moi and Washed Out for their shows in Australia and is heading to SXSW in March, where he will be appearing at the Filter Magazine showcase. He'll be back in Australia for an east coast tour in support of the new EP, and with previous shows in Melbourne and Sydney selling out, be quick to avoid missing out on tickets!
