Ross From Friends is the stage name of British electronic music producer and DJ Felix Clary Weatherall (born 1993 or 1994), and two other members of his band.They are signed to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, and released debut album Family Portrait in 2018, being noted as 'one to watch' by The Guardian. Weatherall was born and grew up in Brightlingsea, near Colchester, Essex, in a musical family.His father was a designer of electronic sound systems for live shows, and played "Hi-NRG and nascent techno music at squat parties".He began to make music under a number of different names before settling on Ross From Friends in 2012.The name was chosed because a TV in the studio he was using had a DVD of Friends stuck inside it, and so would only play episodes of Friends. Weatherall's first releases came on small UK electronic labels like Magicwire and Lobster Theremin.His 2015 release (Talk to me) You'll Understand was described by XLR8R as "a hazy lo-fi number with woozy synths and classy vocal samples."This breakthrough track has been listened to around 4 million times on YouTube. Mixmag published a joke article on April 1, 2018, suggesting that David Schwimmer, who played Ross in the series Friends, was suing Weatherall. Debut album Family Portrait was released on July 27, 2018.Mixmag described it as combining various electronic influences like "the vibrancy of hip hop, Japanese boogie, and house music".Weatherall rejects the use of the term 'lo-fi' for his music "because of the connotations of it."List compared the sound of Family Portrait to The Orb and Jamie XX.Pitchfork compared the sound negatively to Four Tet, Boards of Canada and Burial.
