Mc Fats

For many years MC Fats has been a resident MC for drum’n’bass institutions like Eastside True Playaz, Metalheadz and London’s super club Fabric. He has been chosen by some of the biggest DJs in the scene to accompany them on their globe spanning tours, Andy C, Hype, Fabio and Grooverider to name but a few. He graced the stages from Japan to Brazil, from Canada to New Zealand. Unsurprisingly, as Fats is one of the most professional and versatile Vocalists in the circuit, he has the ability to adapt to a rave set alongside DJ Hype as well as to a soulful club set by the one like Fabio, without compromising his unique style. Fats knows how to bring the attributes of a singer and those of an MC to an amazing fusion, rather than boring his audience with random party phrases. Together with the DJ, he takes the audience on a journey and covers the full spectrum of their sound. A specifically close cooperation exists between Fats and his friend and long-time DJ partner, A Sides. For many years now, the duo impress the drum’n’bass fans with well coordinated performances. Everyone that had the pleasure to experience them will agree to that. No over the top rave vibes is offered by them, by club compatible sound and expertise. Fats himself says that he really enjoys the more intimate club gigs as they give him the opprtunity to show his full potential. But not only in venues is Fats at home, he is also one of the most talented and hardworking MCs in the studio. So far he has collaborated with a large number of top producers, as diverse as Kenny Ken, Hype and Pascal on the heavy side of things and A Sides, Blue Skin, Patife and and Calibre for rather soulful tunes. More and more often those efforts find themselves on the playlists and mix-cds of the scene’s top DJs. “What U Don’t Know” by A Sides feat. Fats & Regina for example, became a club hit in summer 2003 with everybody from Andy C to Fabio rinsing it for months. His newest tracks with Calibre (‘Drop It Down’) and A Sides (“A Certain Sound/Bring Dat”) have become a worthy follow up and have been signed to ‘Signature Records’ and ‘True Playaz’ respectively. Over the past 20 years Fats has proven that he is a consistent and creative artist not just a man with a mic, and despite his career spanning for a long time already, you can’t help but think that he will offer the world even more great tunes and suprises, and help make the sound of drum’n’bass an even more exciting music to dance to.
