Fantastic Mr Fox

Overview

Taking weight from the claim that there’s now so much music out there it’s impossible to unearth the good stuff is UK producer Fantastic Mr Fox, who has managed to carve out a relatively successful career despite his name being decidedly Soundcloud-unfriendly thanks to the soundtrack from a 2009 stop-motion animation by one Wes Anderson.

Fantastic Mr Fox the beat maker has been producing since the age of 14, long before Boggis, Bunce and Bean made it to the movies, but if eight-year-olds were into genre-bending electronica his stuff could be perfectly congruous with anthropomorphic farm animals and their late night shenanigans. The sinister intro to ‘Pascal’s Chorus’? Mr. Fox creeping around in the moonlight. That same track’s escalation to frenzied grime-tinged house? The post-thievery dash back to his hole. The warbling ‘Yesterday’s Fall’? Probably the part where he gets his tail shot off.

Anyway, with props being received from the likes of The XX, James Blake, Jamie XX and Bjork, he’s not called Fantastic for nothing. Support on the night comes from Low Motion on Sunset's Preacha and Max Gosfod, plus the FBi Sunset DJ's Kato and Bad Ezzy.
