Like a beast hunting his prey, Fu Ancko keenly observes the crowd, sizing it up before he lashes out with his sound. He keeps his cool because he's no amateur, he’s an exprienced musician. His stylistic inspiration comes from bouncy percussion loops, basslines with an acid flavour, trippy synthesizers as well as tech-house, house, deep-house and techno. His mixes sketch an urban landscape that comes alive when the crowd starts moving to its beat, spreading beyond its borders, reaching out to people everywhere with each rhythm.

From underground dance floors to global festival stages, GUAPO has built a solid reputation as a DJ, atmospheric guitarist and producer who thrives on the unexpected. With festival appearances spanning three continents, including Glastonbury (UK) and Telerama Dub Festival (Paris), his electrifying sets have earned him international recognition.

GUAPO’s résumé boasts collaborations with Grammy Award winners like  Youth (Killing Joke, The Orb) and Juno Award winners like Alpha Yaya Diallo. As a Composer he was nominated for a Jutra Award for Best Film Score. 

As DJ & Music Coordinator for fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier’s PINKARNAVAL and Cirque Du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté's TERRAKARNAVAL, he played to crowds of over 15,000 spectators, fusing music and fashion into an unforgettable spectacle. 

As a producer & guitarist, he contributed to multiple albums by UK world-beat pioneers SUNS OF ARQA, blending global dub grooves, classical Indian Raga and cutting-edge electronic production.

These classic sounds are chopped, glitched, and remixed into futuristic forms like Glitch Hop, Ghetto Funk, Bass House, UK Garage, DnB, Jungle, and Swing & Bass.

But what sets GUAPO apart is his electric stage presence. A natural showman, he thrives on crowd interaction, fueling a high-energy atmosphere that turns dance floors into full-blown frenzies of absurd, anarchic fun. His performances are a wild experience, driven by badass bass from the bowels of Hell !

While his main focus these days is Bass Music, Guapo is versatile in other genres.
