Fanny is an alias of
Winnipeg,
Manitoba
breakcore producer and
Scottish
expatriate
Fraser Runciman.
Fanny
began his musical career in the 1980s at the end of the British
punk rock explosion, playing guitar for
bands in Edinburgh
. He used influences from The Banshees to
Def Jam,
Stravinsky to
P-Funk.
This playing style brought him to the attention of local punk rock
legends
The Exploited, whom he joined
in 1993. Fraser toured Europe and South America as guitarist of The
Exploited and is featured as "the human bone" on the Live In Buenos
Aires concert tape. He also co-wrote and recorded the "Beat the
Bastards" lp but quit the band before the album was released, so he
wasn't credited for it.

Fraser
left Scotland to play in the Canadian
funk rock
band Bootsauce and moved to Montreal
.
After the band fell apart Fraser stayed in Winnipeg. By this time
he was tired of guitars and rock and having new musical ambitions
and visions he returned to the
sampler experiments that he
first began in the eighties. He traded in his guitars for synths
and a PC and released a Booty House/Dub CD titled "Come and get it
up yer" in 1999, which went Top 5 on localWinnipeg
Radio.

When he met
Aaron Funk, Fraser
discovered a new musical direction and changed his musical
direction towards
breakcore.
Weekend trips to
Wisconsin
and the legendary barn parties in East
Troy
pushed him further in this direction. It was
there that he met Destro from Zod records and
Eiterherd from Widerstand records and plans were
made to release his new tracks.

"One of Winnipeg's finest imports is now one of its most famous
exports. Fanny crafts some of the most bizarre dance music you'll
ever hear. Spastic rhythms draw you into the water and an
undercurrent of subversive humour drags you away to uncharted
depths. His work proves that music can be serious and complex and
wickedly funny" - DJ Fishead
"Lord Byron of the Naughties" - William Droon
"The Don Quixote of breakcore" - Anon
