Wevie Stonder

Wevie Stonder is a British electronic music collective formed in Brighton in 1993, known for their unique blend of downtempo and experimental sounds. The project, led by Al Boorman alongside members Chris Umney, Henry Sargeant, Richard Sothcott, and Nadir Al-Badri, started with a quirky cover attempt of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You," which inspired their spoonerism-based name. Over the years, they've released several albums on respected labels like Skam Records, Sonig, and Cack Records, including notable works such as *Eat Your Own Ears* (2000), *Drawing on Other People's Heads* (2001), and a recent album *Sure Beats Living* (2025). Their music features textured production, combining lush rhythms and ethereal melodies, earning them a dedicated following across the electronic music community.

Known for live performances spanning UK and Europe, including appearances at Sonar festival in Barcelona, Wevie Stonder has earned acclaim for their inventive approach and sensitivity to downtempo aesthetics. Tracks like "Ton Wah," "Carpet Squares," and their recent releases showcase their evolving sound rich in eclectic beats and atmospheric layers. With a career spanning over three decades, Wevie Stonder remains a distinctive figure in the electronic and downtempo scenes, consistently pushing creative boundaries while maintaining a charmingly offbeat spirit.
