By day, the East London producer FNP spends his time managing & promoting artists in the mainstream space. But his main passion has always been electronic music. A career in music has given FNP the knowledge & experience of how the industry works, resulting in a more savvy approach to releasing music.
Originally from just outside Luton, FNP began his musical journey making drum and bass. While at university in Nottingham, his work started to get him attention in all the right places. This led to sets supporting world renowned acts such as Enei, S.P.Y, Netsky, Newham Generals & loads more.. All this work & network of people eventually led to him being lined up for a music industry job a few years down the line. At the same time, his record label Slinkiemusic picked up some notable fans including Teki Latex, Avalon Emerson, Ross From Friends, Loxy & Resound & Palace.
Now focusing on his own projects, the London producers music has gained support from Thump Magazine, Clash, Datatransmission and Complex with many more following suit. His remixes with artists across the world have also received overwhelming support from Spotify, bringing his streams to over 300k in the past year, as well as features on their influential Techno State playlist. The London production enigma, has never been one to shy away from experimenting with different genres. previous releases have explored Disco, Synthwave, Techno and Bass music. Working out of his studio in Hackney Wick, his releases in 2019 have pushed the envelope for 303 style acid basslines. ‘We Are The Gods’ was heavily supported by Spotify as well as a number of tastemaker blogs. The follow-up ‘No Real Perspective’ follows a similar pattern while the final EP track is the Lo-Fi influenced ‘Acid on Wick Lane’, went on to support from Dummy Magazine and The Classy Issue.
The final track in this set of releases is the undeniably savage ‘Breathe’. It’s a combination of all that FNP loves about techno, thunderous kick drums, grinding industrial bass notes and a speaker piercing acid bass-line. Possibly his darkest work to date, the track is always poised with a robotic yet alluring female vocal sample. It’s a wild piece of techno weaponry, on the new track he states.
It’s one of those tracks that came together out of nothing really. I found this sample pack full of sexy female instructions and thought.. That would work bloody well juxtaposed to some mean techno. It’s got a kind of bladerunner feel to it. Then I just started putting together patterns on the 303, really quick track to make this one but I love it.
Release date: August 9th, 2019.
