MC FOKUS

About Me

MC FOKUS is a creative and versatile lyricist who knows the importance of letting the music breath, prefering to complement - rather than overpower- the DJ. With supreme timing, as opposed to constant chat, Fokus aims to weave his rhymes into the music, connecting with the crowd as both a host and a lyrical performer.

Since the start of his career, in 1998, Fokus has continued to receive a warm reception from audiences throughout the North and South of the UK, and has been able to hone his skills while working with some of the industries finest artists (including personal favourites;D Bridge, Commix & DJ Storm). .

He is a regular feature on the LONDON DnB circuit, where he is RESIDENT MC for London’s respected FUTURE THINKIN collective (promoters of the TRAFFIC events and Future Thinkin Recordings), and appears regularly at Bristols leading deep DnB event INTRIGUE.

FOKUS has also built up a strong reputation in EUROPE, where he continues to rock crowds in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain and Belgium. Here he has performed alongside a diverse range of DJ’s including: SKITTY (Metalheadz/Bassbin), DJ INK (Renegade Hardware), NOOKIE (Strictly Digital), CALYX (Moving Shadow), VICIOUS CIRCLE (Hardware/DISC4), DOM & ROLAND, CONCORD DAWN, CATACOMB (Canada-ShadyBrain) and LOST SEQUENCE (Citrus Recs).

2008 is shaping up to be a busy year for Fokus, with some exciting studio collaborations planned with Skitty, MC System/Lazune, and Switzerland’s DJ/Producer combination Lost Sequence. With an obvious passion for both beats and rhyming, Fokus is keen to further his production skills and push his career to the next level, with aspirations to be involved in a live music project in the near future.

Fokus is an MC with experience and dedication, a new breed of MC whose lyrics have meaning, rhythm and substance, an MC who understands the music and the crowd.

In his own words:

" I think it’s important for an MC in the scene to constantly evolve and grow with the music. Our producers are at the cutting edge of dance music, and the MC’s need to reflect that. You gotta stay on your toes. Too many people stick to the tried and tested flows, but i like to come with something different, it could be in the lyrical content, the delivery, the syncopation......or all three of those things! "

" I like spending time on my written rhymes, but i also try to freestyle as much as possible, especially in a live club situation, because it is more spontaneous and the crowd can really vibe off of it. For me, a radio show is the perfect environment to chat some deeper rhymes, as people can hear every word your saying and can appreciate the message or story within the lyrics."
