What can we say about Finnish born and residing Fanu? There’s so much. I remember years ago, him posting up clips of music on the The Tune Showcase section of the Dogs on Acid forum and thinking, in the best way possible “What the hell is this stuff?”. The break engineering, the organic and seemingly alive drum flow stood out from the rest. The cinematic soundscapes drawing you in like an emotive scene from a movie. Everyone else there seemed to agree. With his posts getting enormous attention, it wasn’t hard to see he would get picked up quickly. Since then, and with his first release hitting the shelves in ‘02, he’s had a strong history of being a breakbeat drum n bass innovator on a range of imprints like Breakin, Commercial Suicide and Ninja Tune, through to a collaborative album with legendary bassist and producer Bill Laswell (who broke through with jazz icon Herbie Hancock). There’s no doubt that Fanu’s past has been exciting and colourful at every step. We did a piece on his latest album “Departure” which recently got praise on Thump as a drum n bass highlight of 2013. 2014 promises even more innovations including explorations into hip hop with his side alias FatGyver.
inflect-uk.com caught up with Fanu to have a chat and discuss his new mix for Inflect. Read the interview: http://www.inflect-uk.com/post/72227546050/inflectmix-002-fanu
