Eschaton: The 2023 Omni Sessions - Volume 16

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:

_bio // 伝記
Jaise first became acquainted with the sound of drum n bass in the late 90’s, the infamous Torque LP cover art sparking intrigue and creating an instant desire to hear what was in the sleeve. As a 16 year old, the sounds within captured his imagination and this new aural awareness changed the way he saw and felt about music. The precision, feeling and vibe all culminated in an experience that would result in an unquenchable thirst to find more like it. Becoming an avid collector from that point, and having a solid background in traditional music, it was only natural that DJing and production became the next step and until 2006 Jaise immersed himself in the Perth DnB/rave culture, all the while honing his musicianship and technique as a drummer.

At this point, although still having a keen interest in Drum n Bass, Jaise took the direction of playing in various bands which brought vast knowledge and experience including studying composition at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, working in the Australian concert touring industry, travelling Australia and the world as a musician and performing extensively both live and in the studio. It was through these recording sessions with world renowned producers that he developed greater knowledge and understanding of studio techniques.  Despite a shift towards band involvement, his passion for Drum n Bass endured, leading him back to production in 2018. 

Subsequently, he embarked on a prolific journey, releasing singles, collaborations, and EPs across diverse labels, culminating in notable recognition from Drum & Bass Arena and Beatport. His musical evolution included a deliberate stylistic change in 2020/21, focusing on a more musical approach and collaborating with industry stalwarts like Ant TC1 and Goldie. This resulted in multiple EPs, with significant releases on Metalheadz. His rise continued in 2022 with acclaimed EPs on METHXX and Rebel Music, further solidifying his status as a prominent figure in Drum & Bass, punctuated by milestones like hosting the 75th Metalheadz Podcast and achieving chart success on Beatport. Jaise's relentless pursuit of creativity establishes him as a respected artist shaping the future of the genre
