Nathan Fake is a British electronic musician and producer hailing from King's Lynn, Norfolk. With five full-length albums, numerous EPs, and remix commissions under his belt, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the industry. Since 2016, Nathan has been signed by Ninja Tune and currently resides in Norwich. His latest record, [i]Blizzards[/i], was released in April 2020 through Cambria Instruments label, which he co-founded in 2014.

Having grown up in Norfolk, Nathan Fake developed a passion for music during high school. Inspired by renowned IDM acts like Aphex Twin and Orbital that he heard on the radio, he delved deeper into their work by reading about them in music magazines. In 2003, Nathan caught the attention of James Holden who signed him to Border Community label. This led to the release of his debut EP [i]Outhouse[/i]. Subsequently, Nathan continued to release records on various labels such as Saw Recordings and Traum Schallplatten.

In addition to his solo work, Nathan Fake co-founded Cambria Instruments with Wesley Matsell in 2014. The label presented several releases including Nathan's own EP [i]Glaive[/i]. Known for his remixing skills, Nathan has collaborated with notable artists such as Radiohead and Jon Hopkins while working with respected labels like Warp Records and Kompakt.

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Nathan Fake releases his fourth album Providence - his most personal and profoundly emotional work to date - via Ninja Tune. Crafted in the wake of a crippling two year spell of writer’s block during which he was unable to compose any music at all, the esteemed British producer describes the record “as a massive step up both in my career and in my life in general… it felt like I’d come alive again”. Providence sees the British producer collaborate with vocalists for the first time, joining forces with Prurient (aka Vatican Shadow / founder of Hospital Productions) and Raphaelle Standell-Preston from Braids. Both arose from chance meetings in Geneva and Osaka as their tour schedules crossed. Emerging from this extended period of inactivity with renewed vigour and lust for life, Providence was recorded during the first six months of 2016 in Nathan’s home studio / living room. The meaning behind the title is two-pronged: on the one hand it’s a nod to the aforementioned Korg Prophecy synth that features so heavily on the record. But on a deeper level it means “guidance or divine guidance” - not necessarily in a religious sense but more to be guided by a higher power - or more specifically to Nathan, music as therapy and a path out of a dark period in his life.
