Fine Cut Bodies - Ablak-A-Dubra Show - Tilos Radio - Budapest HU - Nov 2006

Biography of Fine Cut Bodies

Even though the name Fine Cut Bodies implies more than one person, behind the FCB letters is only one man, Kevin aka Attila Fodor. His musical tastes are extremely broad which is reflected in the musical preferences of Chi Recordings, the label he co-founded in 2000: from minimal house to breakbeat and all the way through experimental music styles including dub, headz, broken beat, techno, electro - and even some that defies classification. In clubs Kevin mostly spins midtempo dance music (house, techno, breakBeat, electro, minimal, techHouse, brokenBeat), but this is not a limiting factor when it comes to his work in the studio or his legendary radio sets. His taste is determined more by his musical attitude than by any specific genre: he looks for music that's experimental but not selfish, interesting but not unlistenable.

With the label, clubnights, radioshows and mixed-genre clubmixes, Kevin is one of the most important taste-maker DJs in Hungary. Over the last few years he has been one of the key DJs/promoters that built up the huge breaks scene in Hungary (in 2004 he won the 'Best Hungarian Breaks DJ' award on the biggest Hungarian internet magazine's voting (Impulsecreator), although he is not playing more breaks than any other genres.) Kevin was also the first promoter to book minimal, tech-house acts, starting to build up the world class underground house scene in Budapest today.

As a producer, he has released tracks in many genres and is always looking for new sonic adventures. This is why you can find his music on house labels, breakbeat playlists, or in downtempo sets worldwide. Kevin's tracks have been licensed for numerous compilations such as Uberzone's Y4K on Distinctive and Phil K's latest Hi-Fi and he has collaborated with and remixed for some of the hottest names in electronic music such as Elite Force, Fink, Ben Mono, Switch, Danny Bonnici, Chris Carter, Rich Thair, Tipper, Tigrics, AMB, Habersham, Big Hair, Transparent Sound, Audio Soul Project - to name but a few.

In the last few years, Kevin has DJ'd and performed laptop sets all around the world, including almost every European country, frequent visits to America, and as far field as Australia.
