Subscriber special: a dnb track from 1998

Surprise track from 1998 out now! Rolling deep drum&bass.

This is immediately available to my Bandcamp subscribers: it is now on your collection. If you aren’t a subscriber yet, you can subscribe here.

Want to thank all those who subscribe. And there will be more! Oldies, tracks that aren’t fit on other releases, spesh one-offs…I’m also thinking of doing a “Subscriber album” and add tracks there now and (I have a LOT of unreleased music) and inform people when it’s updated.

This is from 1998…era of no plugins, no internet, no social media, or likes…just a man and his track software!I wasn’t that advanced 21 years ago but def did have a hunch of where I want to go.Quite minimal, and doesn’t even use that many samples.

Hope you like it!

Fanu remixes peyote buttons

Surprise Fanu release.
New deep vocal D&B time.

I present to you my new one-off remix job I did for Peyote Buttons Music. He kindly contacted me about a possible remix, and, TBH, I don’t remix stuff _that_ often, but the original kind of struck a chord in me and I really wanted to get this busy with this one.

The result is here, and I’m happy about how it came out.
If deep vocal DNB is your thing…this might be, too.

Mixing and mastering service FAQ

I get quite a lot of DMs and email about certain questions, so I thought I’d make a FAQ here to possibly ease up some DM/email action. 
I’ll add a few other things and general claims and address those. 

• What are your rates?
I’ve tried to make this unbelievably easy to find, and it’s the #1 Google hit for “fanu mastering”.
https://fanumusic.com/mastering/ always has the latest rates.

• What is “VAT” and do I have to pay that?
It means Value Added Tax and it’s a tax system for services in EU. I run a registered business and have to charge VAT of your country if you 1) live in EU and 2) do not operate a business yourself. I do not charge VAT if you do not live in EU. 
E.g., I do not charge US clients any VAT.

• There is the rate for mastering, as well as mixing + mastering, but not just mixing, so what’s the rate for that?
I provide a full final product. If it was “mixed only” Continue reading Mixing and mastering faq →
