There are at least two artists named Feint. 1) A UK dnb artist and 2) a UK emo band.
1) Feint, real name Andrew Isaac Hu, is a British drum & bass producer and DJ from Manchester.
Hu's pioneering efforts are highlighted by his distinction as one of the first producers to release music under the influential Monstercat label. This early milestone in Feint's career not only solidified his place in electronic music history but also paved the way for a series of collaborations with notable artists such as Koven, MUZZ, Fox Stevenson, and Laura Brehm, further amplifying his influence and reach within the genre. His first release via Monstercat was “Atlas”, which is included on the first Monstercat compilation: "Monstercat 001 – Launch Week".
Feint’s success snowballed with his continued releases with Monstercat, followed by his debut release with Liquicity Records, with whom he has since formed a close relationship. Feint continued his rise in the drum and bass scene with his heavy-hitting tracks “We Won't Be Alone” and “Words” with Laura Brehm, both of which peaked in the millions of plays on Spotify.
Feint’s specific sound in the dnb genre mainly involves melodic dancefloor dnb; however, he has explored other areas of the drum and bass spectrum, and even some electronica and house. His tracks have regularly been supported by the UKF channel. Feint also has worked closely with MrSuicideSheep, having had multiple releases as well as his remix of Dabin’s “Embers” supported by the channel.
Feint teamed up with fellow UK singer, songwriter, and producer MYLK to release an official track for the popular soccer video game Rocket League. The game won awards for “Best Sports Game of E3” and “Best Multiplayer Game of E3” in 2015. Feint didn’t stop at Rocket League; he also produced music for other successful games such as Descenders and Aaero, both of which have been met with critical acclaim for their soundtracks.
Countless EPs, remixes, and high tier collaborations has contributed to Feint amassing quite the following across Europe with his work with labels such as Liquicity, as well as a solid fanbase in the US and Canada following his work with Monstercat. He is a regular performer at Liquicity shows, having played many debut Liquicity shows in new territories. He also is known to work closely with other artists, such as his B2B sets with fellow UK producer and friend, Fox Stevenson at high profile shows such as Liquicity Festival and Rampage. He has also performed at popular drum and bass festivals such as Hospitality and Laundry Day festival as well as having played various shows from China, Japan to New York. Feint’s beautiful melodies, hard to beat, distinct drum and bass sound have solidified him as standout producer in the ever growing drum and bass scene.
