Something really exciting started to happen around 2008-2010 in electronic music. The lines between genres got totally blurred and suddenly there were tons of amazing tracks in the mid-tempo range (roughly between 120 and 140 bpm), that were tapping into or taking inspiration from multiple styles the same time, like dubstep, garage, uk funky, grime, uk hardcore, jungle, house, electro, breaks, techno, juke, etc. It was fascinating to see how separate music scenes became this big melting pot of awesomeness. Fortunately, there are many producers who continue creating with this "anything goes" mentality, and I can keep buying their nice records. :) The penultimate part of my 20th DJ anniversary mix-series focuses on some of my biggest faves from this world, enjoy!

Kool FM

Metalheadz on Kool FM with Adred - 23 November 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:

About Mentalien:

As many DJs, Mentalien had already been a music freak at a young age. After a while his addiction focused mostly on jungle and drum&bass. Momentous tunes, like Inner City Life, Warhead or Friday made him fall in love with the genre so much that he started to collect records when he was 16. Later he widened his musical palette and started digging deeper in other genres like uk garage, house, techno and many other exciting styles which fit into the ’bass music’ category. Mentalien has been active in the Hungarian scene as a radio presenter and as a journalist as well. He has written articles, reviews and made interviews for the country’s well known music webzine, called Impulsecreator, aka drumandbass.hu, which was established back in 1999, and for various printed magazines. He is running a jungle and drum&bass radio show together with DJ Ren, called Dzsungel Konyve, it’s on air bi-weekly on Hungary’s biggest independent FM station, Tilos Radio. All through the years he played alongside many of his musical heroes, like Calibre, Machinedrum, D-Bridge, MJ Cole, Fracture, DJ Flight, DJ Storm, Zed Bias, Wookie, Marcus Intalex, El-B, Rockwell, DJ Marky, DJ EZ, Lenzman, Goldie, Oneman, DJ Die, Kingdom, Roska, Boddika and many more. When it comes to DJing, his vibe usually is very vocal, soulful and rolling, but he can be the man of extremes as well, and switch to darker, more experimental and industrial sounds.
