Fanu remix for Defrostatica – 12″ vinyl out now
I recently did a halftempo type of remix for a new artist called Kator for a new label called Defrostatica.
Check the remix and follow the link to buy the very nice vinyl copy while they last.
Espresso Addicts Anonymous EP
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”.
