Andrew Isaac Hu (born 6 July 1992) Feint is an English DJ and electronic music producer known for producing and releasing Drum and bass records.
Early life and career Hu was born in the United Kingdom and was raised in Blackburn. As a child he always appreciated music regardless of any genre. Hu's first exposure to electronic music was listening to trance. When he was a teenager he started producing music after regularly listening to drum and bass music from record labels such as Hospital Records and Liquicity. Hu regularly listened to and regularly produced drum and bass because "It's technical, fast... [and] diverse" and allowed him as much creativity and expression as possible due to the genre being "defined only by a tempo range and certain drum rhythms". In 2010, Feint began self-releasing his music until he got picked up by record labels such as Monstercat and Liquicity.
Hu also includes sounds from his Guitar into his tracks such as "Lonesong".
Feint used to use FL Studio, and now uses Ableton Live and Logic Pro to produce his records.
Musical influences Hu's key musical influences usually come from film soundtracks and video game soundtracks such as from Final Fantasys soundtracks, but also takes inspiration from other electronic music producers. Notable film/video game composers he takes inspiration from are Hans Zimmer, Nobuo Uematsu, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Ólafur Arnalds For drum and bass acts, he cites Pendulum, Netsky, Fred V & Grafix, Matrix & Futurebound, and Logistics as some of his biggest inspirations. For bands, he cites M83, Bon Iver, and The 1975.
Personal life Hu's favorite video game is Chrono Trigger. Hu graduated with a Computer science degree at university.
