4hero

4hero is a British electronic music group formed in 1988. The group consists of producers Adam Tinwell, Mark Topham, and Denis Ingoldsby. They are best known for their pioneering work in the jungle and drum and bass genres, as well as their later explorations into soulful house and broken beat.

The group's early releases under the name 4hero gained significant attention within the emerging jungle scene. Their innovative sound, characterized by intricate breakbeats, deep basslines, and often soulful vocal samples, helped to define the genre. They released several influential EPs and albums during this period, including "Journeys from the Reptile House" and "Parallel Universe."

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, 4hero continued to evolve their sound, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and soul. This led to the development of the broken beat genre, which fused the rhythmic complexity of drum and bass with more traditional musical structures. Their album "Two Pages" is considered a landmark release in this movement.

Throughout their career, 4hero have also collaborated with a wide range of vocalists and musicians, contributing to their diverse and evolving sound. They have maintained a respected presence in the electronic music scene, influencing subsequent generations of producers and artists. Their discography spans several decades and showcases a consistent commitment to musical innovation and quality.
