Herbert

Herbert is the alias of British electronic music producer and composer Matthew Herbert, known for his inventive and often unconventional approach to sound. Blending house, jazz, and experimental electronic music, Herbert has garnered critical acclaim for his ability to turn everyday sounds into rich, rhythmic compositions. Albums like Bodily Functions and Scale helped define his signature style, merging smooth grooves with thought-provoking themes and intricate sound design.

Beyond his solo work as Herbert, Matthew Herbert has produced under a variety of aliases and worked as a composer, DJ, and producer for other artists. He’s noted for his conceptual approach to albums, sometimes building full records from field recordings or objects—such as the sounds of a life being lived or of a single pig from birth to slaughter. Recent releases like Musca and its remixes showcase his continued evolution, exploring warmth, melody, and political consciousness through layered, soulful electronic music.
