My new beat tape kinda thing, “Espresso Addicts Anonymous”, is out today via Redefinition Records. Redef’s been my favorite label for a while now.
These tracks are actually a few years old, so they’ve been “brewing” for a while. Most of them were made with a MPC 4000, but there’s a Maschine beat or two in there as well.
Get that brew and play it loud!
Sample Pack by Fanu vol. 1
I am proud to present to you my first sample pack (which hit top-selling spot #5 on Bandcamp quickly after its release).
It’s a compilation of 50 sounds: bass, breaks, and pads.
(NOTE: they’re .flac files if you want full quality from Bandcamp.
You can convert FLAC into WAV pretty easily.
However, if you want a .wav version, contact me via fanusamurai@gmail.com and I’ll sort you with a .zip with .wav files)
All of the bass sounds I have created myself using plug-in synths, Moog Minitaur, and Arturia Microbrute analog synths. Some of them have been driven thru a Soundcraft desk, sampled into an E-MU E5000 Ultra sampler, treated using analog emulation plugins, or sometimes a combo of them.
All of the breaks were processed and sourced by yours truly. There’s a BPM at the end of the flename to indicate tempo.
The main focus being in breaks and bass, I wanted to throw in a few pad sounds, too, which I hope are useful. All of them I created myself.
I have always been into somewhat organic drum&bass and hiphop, and Continue reading Sample Pack by Fanu vol. 1
Crusty-ass DS165
A crusty new jungle track for ya.
Soundcloud link / Bandcamp link / Youtube
It’s a nudge towards the old days when crusty breaks and beats were kings and when the production was not über-polished. The vibe mattered.
Akai samplers doing the beats, Moog Minitaur doing the bass.
Inspired to a great extent by the Droppin Science label.
Contains samples from Bill Murray and Yona.
If it’s nice, give it a price.
If it’s not, well, then I suck.
Written, mixed and mastered by yours truly.
Bandcamp vinyl upload
I added a bunch of my old vinyl releases as rips on my Bandcamp today.
Some of those releases are pretty hard to find, so getting a vinyl rip is the closest you may get to “the real thing”.

Bristol–Helsinki EP
Bristol–Helsinki EP, the much-promised first Fanu x Coleco release, is here.
Why the name? The whole EP started sort of accidentally by Coleco sending me a break and saying I could try working with it Continue reading Bristol–Helsinki EP
Fanu x Sarah Kivi (download)
Here’s a fresh remix I did for Sarah Kivi, a Finnish artist whose music I like a lot.
Grab it, and feel free to share it if you like it.
Also, make sure to Google her and check out her music; I bet you’d like it even if you don’t understand Finnish. She’s great.
In addition to Soundcloud, you can also DL the remix from my Bandcamp page.
