MySpace a place for friends

Fracus first appeared on the Hardcore scene as a teenager in 2002 with popular tracks like 'Forever with me' and 'Shine' produced with sometime writing partner Gavin G. Prior to this he had started out as a bedroom DJ like any other (whilst still at school) playing at low key local events. Very quickly however, the desire to play music was overtaken by a passion for writing and producing it. By gaining studio experience and working with Devastate and UFO, as well as at UK Dance (Force & Styles), and after spending much time and money perfecting his production skills, eventually Fracus was able to stand on his own two feet as a songwriter, producer and engineer.

In recent years Fracus has released an impressive number of singles as well as making appearances on almost every series of compilation CD at one time or another (In the UK, Spain, Japan & USA). After almost a year away from producing dance music to finish studying a Music Technology Degree, late 2004 and early 2005 saw things back on track with singles released on various labels, DJ bookings, and further compilation appearances in the UK and abroad. Throughout 2004/5, Fracus worked extensively with firmly established singer/songwriter Lisa Abbott (who's impressive list of credits includes the soundtrack to the BBC drama 'Hotel Babylon') and her voice can be heard on many of his vocal productions.

A debut album appearance as a DJ on Rumour Record's 'Hardcore Reunited' series (together with DJ's Slipmatt & Devastate) in 2005 helped Fracus secure his 'rising star' status, as well as producing singles for Brisk & Ham's Next Generation Records, Hecttech & DFM Records, RFU Recordings & Graffiti Trax. One of these singles was the universally acclaimed 'Open your eyes to love' which went on to secure anthem status for much of the year. 2006 saw success continue, with productions licenced to games on the 'X-Box' and 'PS2' as well as further labels and compilations picking up tracks, including the massive UK Number 1 'Hardcore Euphoria'.

The last couple of years have seen success continue both in and out of the studio with more notable singles produced for Next Generation, Warped Science and RFU Recordingz. Although not limited to working for these imprints by any means, they are likely to be the major outlets for Fracus material for the forseeable future. The album series 'Hardcore Underground', behind which Fracus is also a driving force, is set to release its third volume in the coming months after the critical success of Volumes 1 & 2. Album appearances continue in the meantime for the likes of Bonkers, Hardcore Adrenaline and Hardcore Nation (the latest edition of which was also mixed by Fracus, Darwin & JakaZid).

DJ performances all over have continued, in the UK and abroad, including main room appearances in the UK for HTID and Vibealite, and a long overdue debut for Hardcore Heaven. Also producing trance, downtempo, house and breaks under various guises, Fracus has written and remixed for the likes of 'Konami Games' and 'BMG Japan' amongst others.
