Producer Fetus released his first album, “b1 b2,” through TREKKIE TRAX today, Wednesday, June 19th.
After Ben UFO supported Fetus’ track “Earnin It” with Oyubi, released in 2022, his songs have been played heavily on BBC Radio 1, Rinse.fm, NTS Radio, and more, and he has received support from famous DJs in the drum and bass and jungle scenes, such as Noisia, London Elektricity, and SHERELLE.
The artist name Fetus, which means “fetus”, was chosen to express that his sound is as untainted as a fetus so as not to be associated with a specific dance music genre, and it also links to the title of this work, “b1 b2”. Fetus’s brother who he was unable to meet in this world is b1 (brother 1), and Fetus himself is b2 (brother 2), and this work was created while thinking about the relationship between the two.
Throughout the album, there are many experimental and fast BPM tracks reminiscent of drum and bass, juke/footwork, but all of them are intricately intertwined with elements of other genres, and some of them have a strong focus on hard techno and UK bass. The title track, “Object Resembling,” features a beautiful, floating melody line typical of Fetus and a dramatic juke/footwork-like beat, making it a grand, uplifting track.
In contrast to that, “Blade” and “Geometry” express orthodox, heavy and minimal drum and bass, and in addition to reworked versions of popular songs previously released on
All artwork was also drawn by Fetus himself, based on the image of this work. The main visual depicts a “fetus” not inside the body but in the outside world, giving the impression of a new start for himself.
