Over/Shadow - Quadrant (Mixed by Nectax)

On this episode we have the legend that is DJ Krust - an iconic figure the early Jungle and drum and bass scene and part of a wider Bristol collective that has contributed so much to the music including top 10 hits, a mercury music prize and some of the most timeless classic tracks that have defined the genre.

We talk about his early days in Pirate Radio and how the DIY and Punk mentality is something that runs through his career right up to the present date. He discusses dub plate culture and the legendary Music House studio and a topic that comes up in these conversations time and time again - the importance of community. I’m very excited to present to you…. DJ Krust

0860 is an album, mixtape, radio station and interview series that explores the history and legacy of Pirate Radio and its importance in the development of UK underground music.

New for October 2023 is a 4 track EP ‘All of The Massive’ ft 3 new and 1 previously unreleased tracks.

Mantra @ The Lot Radio 12-17-2023

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:

As a producer, DJ and label owner Charlie Fieber continues to be an important figure in the development and innovation of UK electronic music genres with a career spanning over two decades. As Fracture, Fieber’s output is prolific and never stands still. From the hyper sped up Techno sound of Turbo to the genre blending Footwork Jungle collaborations with Teklife regulars DJ Earl, DJ Spinn and DJ Taso. He is constantly experimenting and flipping the script and 2022 saw the release of the world building Ambient Electro album Omura with Sam Binga. Releases and affiliations have come from some of the UK’s legendary hardcore continuum labels such as Goldie’s Metalheadz, dBridge’s Exit records, where in 2016 Fieber was part of the mysterious Richie Brains supergroup with fellow experimenters Alix Perez, Chimpo, Fixate, Om Unit, Sam Binga and Stray, and more recently with Alix Perez’s 1985 which saw the curveball collaboration with Kenyan artist Nah Eeto. Fieber’s latest work is his most ambitious to date; '0860’ is an album, radio station and interview series that explores the history and legacy of Pirate Radio and its importance in the development of UK underground music.
As a DJ his sound has travelled with appearances on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Boiler Room, Fact Mag, Rinse FM, Keep Hush and multiple US, EU, UK and Asia tours. 
In 2009 the label, Astrophonica, was set up as an output for his own music with Neptune and has since become a home for other like minded and experimental artists such as Sully, Client_03 and Moresounds. Fieber’s impeccable A&R has led to a flawless and in demand back catalogue championed from Annie Mac to Sherelle and with multiple nominations in DJ Mag’s Best Of British awards.
