Natus —

Natus is a London-based producer, composer, violinist and pianist working across drum & bass, liquid funk and related electronic styles. His work spans breakbeat, chillstep, dub techno, jazz-funk, jungle and liquid funk, and he released the album Homecoming on Fokuz Recordings on 1 November 2024. Public biographical detail about Natus’s early life and entry into the scene is limited. What is verifiable: he operates from London, he performs as a live violinist alongside electronic production, and his recorded output places classical instrumentation at the centre of his drum & bass work. Musically, Natus integrates live violin and other classical instruments into liquid and orchestral‑style drum & bass. His productions put bowed string lines and piano motifs into the foreground, arranging them alongside electronic bass elements and programmed percussion. The result foregrounds melodic, orchestral voicings within drum & bass tempos, and the same classical textures appear across releases associated with chillstep, dub techno and jazz‑funk influences. As a producer, Natus’s specific contribution is the combination of acoustic performance and studio arrangement. He records live violin and piano parts, then places those takes into electronic arrangements where the strings function as lead melodies, counter‑melodies or textural layers. Those acoustic lines are presented with production choices that preserve their dynamics and phrasing while sitting with synthesized low end and percussive programming common to liquid and orchestral DnB. On record, Natus’s most concrete milestone is the Homecoming album on Fokuz Recordings (1 November 2024). Beyond Fokuz, his work has appeared or been featured on platforms associated with Med School, Liquicity and Keeno Music — facts reflected in label pages and feature listings rather than an exhaustive discography. He also translates that studio approach to stage: his live sets explicitly combine live violin performance with electronic backing tracks and production elements. Influences and scene connections are signposted by those label associations and by the instrumentation he uses. The linkage to Fokuz Recordings and features on channels tied to Med School, Liquicity and Keeno Music situates him among artists who work at the intersection of melodic liquid, orchestral textures and electronic production, and his use of violin/piano ties his output to classical arrangement techniques applied within drum & bass frameworks. Natus’s legal or real name is not publicly listed on the major music databases and label pages consulted; he appears in public sources under the artist name Natus. On stage and on record he remains defined by the live violin plus electronic production format and by the November 2024 Homecoming release on Fokuz Recordings.
