Trommel.201 – Fantastic Man

With more than a few aliases and past lives under his belt the sometime graphic designer, the artist formerly known as Mic Newman has been enjoying huge success under his Fantastic Man moniker. Being a go to name for acid dipped feel good house music, the Melbournite excels at keeping thronging crowds grooving.

For those in the know, they will have perhaps caught him at one his recent shows that have included hotspots like Shelter in Amsterdam, Watergate in his adopted home of Berlin, LUX in Lisbon, or Love International in Croatia. With EP’s on the likes of Kalahari Oyster Cult, Basic Spirit, Mule Musiq, his own co-run Superconscious Records imprint, and his upcoming “The Axis of People” EP on its namesake label. He has the tools primed and ready to go.

In a slight shift in sound for our next podcast we are thrilled to welcome Fantastic Man to the fold and he delivers nothing short of a masterclass in refined deep, yet punchy, sun soaked house. Using all his powers gained from his former life producing under his own name and the wealth of experience gained with the FM alter ego, he has focused in on the sweet spot between deep and peak. With the BPM and vibe counter edging skywards throughout the mix there is a clear journey to be found here and there is not a hint of irony or sarcasm in these words as Mic is a true scholar at speaking without words.
