Ade Fenton first broke onto an unsuspecting techno scene in 1998 with the now legendary ‘Coded’ EP on his own Advanced label, and since then he has continued to develop his own brand of harsh, twisted dancefloor beats. His sound was recognised by many of his peers and releases on such revered labels as Potential, Ground, Planet Rhythm, Audio, Zenit, Primate and Primevil have all helped to consolidate his considerable standing within the genre.

More recently, his work has seen him experimenting by fusing his love of industrial acts as Nine Inch Nails and Cabaret Voltaire into his dancefloor material. His independent techno record label Perverter provided the perfect platform for these darker soundscapes epitomised most recently on the brutal ‘Confessions of an English Psychopath’ single.

As a compliment to his production work, Fenton is also an in demand dj with a busy schedule that has taken him across the globe, from Europe to North and South America, from Malaysia to Australia. He continues to hold his 8 year residency at English techno superclub Atomic Jam, and electrify audiences worldwide with his fierce dj sets that fuse thunderous drums with electro and industrial elements such as NIN, Aphex Twin et al now thrown into the mix, as exemplified on his recent Live at Maida Vale performance for BBC Radio 1.

In late 2005, Fenton’s career was to take a dramatic upturn when world famous electronic / industrial godfather and innovator Gary Numan commissioned Ade to co-produce and co-engineer his album ‘Jagged’, which was released worldwide by Mortal Records in March 2006, and the album was released to huge critical acclaim, reaching number 3 in the BBC Indie chart. .

Such was the success of their working relationship, the pair continued working throughout 2006 on a series of studio and live collaborations, including new versions of a number of classic Numan tracks including Are ‘Friends’ Electric?, Down In The Park and Metal, as well as brand new material.

Since completing the album, Fenton has set up a new music production company Industry Music, and is currently producing albums for a number of artists. He also begins work on a new Gary Numan album in January 2007.
Numan also contributes vocals to 4 tracks on the long awaited 2007 release of Fenton’s debut artist album including songs ‘The Leather Sea’, ‘Slide Away’, ‘Recall’ and ‘Healing’.
