About

Handbook is a music producer from York, United Kingdom. He began making beats on an MPC1000 in his bedroom in 2010 after being inspired by artists such as J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Free The Robots.

After a year or so of making beats and gaining a following on Soundcloud he began to work with different artists and brand new independent labels from around the world.
Handbook's profile increased after the release of albums such as "HaveFaith" and "Celebriteeth" in the first half of 2011 and began to catch the attention of labels such as 100 Akres and Cascade Records, who released Nomadic and Handprints (both physical releases). He also produced EPs for rappers such as Rob Yung (of The Soulstice) and Supreme Sol, one of the emcees most closely associated with Handbook.

Handbook continues to work with some of the greatest underground talent and has a solid following on various social media, not to mention backing from many radio stations and blogs.
His style also continues to grow. Having a solid basis on a hard beat and soul samples, you will find breezy synths and fluid bass lines beginning to become a regular feature in his productions.
