DJ Lee w/ Moose + Cleveland Watkiss - Alchemy Halloween 2023

Heron flow "Soul In Motion Records show" 17.10.23

Do yourself a favour, go grab a coffee and make yourself comfortable. This mix and interview runs super deep. Just as we like it.

It all comes courtesy of a man named Janne Hatula. You will know him best as Fanu or Fatgyver, a hugely proflic artist, DJ and audio engineer, and the mastering engineer of choice of a huge array of  top level artists across the electronic spectrum.

Certifiably one of those ‘hardest working people in D&B’ characters, the eminent Finnish artist has that perfect balance of output across his disciplines and his styles. Artistically he’s been hurling all manner of breakbeat punches at us for over 20 years and they cover a fantastic spread. His dusty hip-hop beatmaker style jams can be found under his Fatgyver alias while his darker junglistic choppage comes our way via his Fanu project.

There are many shades between and two key crossover points: Musically, everything flexes around the broken beat and creatively, his mindset is unbounded by trend, hype flavour of the month. Fanu very much drives in his own lane.

“Don’t be a boring, predictable artist,” he states. “You’re here to do whatever you want. Be a chameleon. Stomp a footprint there that will be noticed.”

Here are more reasons to stomp around. Like this mix, for instance. A unique trip where he ties his two aliases together and takes us on a journey from Fatgyver to Fanu and back again. The result is a timeless dive into honest breakbeat soul. A playful place where the parallels between hip-hop and jungle are both painted and subverted vividly.

All 100% his own material (with a few exclusives along the way), the mix was inspired by Fanu’s latest album Classy Coffee Cuts. Released back in October, it’s one of his most diverse and personal albums as he joins the dots between his many styles and really put his soul and influences out on display in a way that pays homage to the classic album alchemy that can often be overlooked in the contemporary game. Check the mix and head to our first for a full flavoured roast. This one is perfect for this time of year:
