Fishy
Fishy is the stage name of Norwegian producer Eivind Rønning. He makes drum and bass and jungle with a clear leaning toward liquid and atmospheric styles. He is based in Sandefjord, Norway and has released music on Omni Music, Soul Deep Recordings, Offworld Recordings, DNBB Records and Erculean Recordings.
Rønning began producing hardcore in 2003–2004 and moved into drum and bass around 2006–2007. He works primarily as a producer rather than a club DJ; in a published interview he noted that he hasn’t DJed much and that the guest mixes he appears on are typically arranged in his DAW. He has collaborated with Dan Guidance, Marvel Cinema and Nostre on recorded material or projects.
Musically, Fishy’s tracks sit in the liquid/atmospheric area of drum and bass. His productions emphasize sustained pads and wet reverbs that create space around the drums, a warm sub-bass foundation that carries the low end, and detailed break editing to keep percussion fluid without harsh transients. You’ll hear layered chord work and vocal chops used as textural elements rather than front-and-center hooks, plus careful use of sidechain compression and subtractive EQ to carve space for the bass and mids. The result is largely rolling, mid-tempo material that favors atmosphere and harmonic movement over aggressive neuro or heavy amen chopping.
On the practical side, Fishy’s catalog and presence are anchored by releases on the labels listed above (Omni Music, Soul Deep, Offworld, DNBB Records, Erculean). His named collaborators—Dan Guidance, Marvel Cinema and Nostre—appear on joint tracks or exchanges cited in interviews and release notes. He contributes to the scene through those label releases and by supplying DAW-arranged guest mixes rather than frequent live DJ sets.
Public biographical detail beyond these points is limited, so the recordable highlights remain his work as Eivind Rønning (Fishy), the 2003–2007 production timeline shift from hardcore into drum and bass, his Sandefjord base, the five labels named above, and collaborations with Dan Guidance, Marvel Cinema and Nostre.
