Finalfix

Finalfix is the stage name of Shant Madenjian, a Bruges-based Belgian producer and DJ working across bass music, drum & bass, jungle, drumstep, dubstep and related styles (deathstep, riddim, liquid funk, new rave). He began producing around 2010 and started releasing commercially from 2016.

Originally active in Belgium, Finalfix moved from bedroom production into label releases and mix contributions over the 2010s. Public records show releases and remixes on labels such as Hanzom Music and Blackout Music NL, and a notable release is the Tremors EP on Hanzom in 2020. He has also contributed guest mixes and podcast slots for Blackout Music, and maintains artist pages on SoundCloud and Spotify.

As a producer, Finalfix is primarily known for heavy, bass-driven drum & bass and adjacent bass music. His tracks emphasize low-end weight and aggressive midrange growl: layered sub‑bass under distorted Reese-style mids, tight transient work on kicks and snares, and pronounced use of breakbeat edits. Percussive detail and chopped breaks sit ahead of reverb-drenched atmospheres and staccato vocal chops rather than long, ambient pads—moves that push a club-forward, high-impact mixdown.

On specific production techniques, Finalfix’s work leans on repeated break re-slicing, tempo-synced pitch shifts on drum hits, parallel saturation to thicken mids, and sidechain compression to keep heavy bass pockets clear. His arrangements often alternate dense “drop” sections with stripped-down halftime or drumstep passages, a structure that crosses over between DnB, drumstep and dubstep idioms. Where liquid elements appear, they are brief textural layers rather than the lead melodic focus.

Career highlights that are documented: commercial releases from 2016 onward; the Tremors EP (Hanzom, 2020); releases and remixes on Hanzom Music and on Blackout Music NL; and guest mixes/podcast appearances for Blackout Music. Finalfix’s profile presence on SoundCloud and Spotify provides the main publicly accessible catalogue and mixes for promoters and listeners.

Public information about specific artist-to-artist influences or formal collaborations beyond the label relationships above is limited. What is verifiable: Shant Madenjian performs and releases under the Finalfix alias from Bruges, has moved from producing since around 2010 to commercial releases from 2016, and continues to put out heavy, bass-focused drum & bass and related bass-music material, including the 2020 Tremors EP on Hanzom.
