Adam F or Adam Fenton (born 8 February 1972, Liverpool, England) is an English record producer and DJ who has worked across various genres. He is also the co-founder of the prominent drum and bass label Breakbeat Kaos along with DJ Fresh.
Adam began his certified Gold and Platinum producer status with his early release, the techstep 12", "Metropolis/Mother Earth", released in 1996 on the Metalheadz record label. His other early successes were the tracks "F-Jam" and "Circles" (the latter breaking into the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart). In 1998 he won a MOBO award for his debut album, Colours. In 2001, he found success in the field of hip hop, primarily with his ground breaking collaborative musical effort, KAOS – The Anti-Acoustic Warfare, working alongside artists such as LL Cool J, Redman and De La Soul. In 2002, Adam created the score for the feature film Ali G Indahouse starring Sacha Baron Cohen for Working Title Films.
He is founder and co-owner of the UK independent record label, Breakbeat Kaos, which released Pendulum's album, Hold Your Colour; he is also co-owner of the drum and bass website, Dogs on Acid.
In early 2007, under the guidance of Hollywood talent manager Stacey Castro, Adam entered the world of acting and was cast in his first film role, the British indie crime thriller The Heavy. In December 2007, Adam also co-starred in a British feature film, Cuckoo, a thriller about sound and lies, co-starring Richard E. Grant and Laura Fraser, directed by Richard Bracewell.
