Prince Fatty is an alias adopted by Mike Pelanconi, a British sound engineer and record producer, known for his work within the reggae and dub genres. Prince Fatty's sound is a deliberate homage to the classic reggae and dub sounds from the 60s and 70s, yet he brings his own modern twist that keeps his music fresh and relevant. The project's name itself is a nod to King Tubby and other dub legends.

Pelanconi, as Prince Fatty, gained recognition for his authentic dub productions which captured the essence of reggae's golden era while infusing elements of modern influences. Over the years, Prince Fatty has produced and remixed tracks for a diverse range of artists across different genres, all while maintaining his signature style. Recent releases like "Prince Fatty Meets The Gorgon In Dub" showcase his knack for collaboration, as he crafts rich sonic landscapes that underscore reggae’s enduring appeal. In tracks such as "Marijuana Dub (Ed Solo Remix)" and "World on Fire (with Slightly Stoopid) [Prince Fatty Presents]," he demonstrates his versatile ability to both honor and rejuvenate the dub reggae tradition for the digital age. His work is characterized by heavy bass lines, swirling echo effects, and a truly immersive production style that can turn any setting into a sun-soaked, laid-back scene from a bygone era of reggae's heyday.
