Andy Stott is a Manchester producer who’s carved out a dark, raw lane between techno, post-punk, and dream pop. Early dub techno gave way to 2011’s Passed Me By and We Stay Together—grinding, broken-down epics dubbed "knackered house." His albums, from the haunted Luxury Problems to 2021’s bruised yet beautiful Never the Right Time, fuse eerie textures, brutal rhythms, and Alison Skidmore’s ghostly vocals. A key figure on Modern Love, Stott also works under aliases like Andrea and in brutalist projects like Millie & Andrea. His sound is murky, visceral, and completely his own.
