Pengshui- GUTS, independence & the Prodigy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2429786/fan_mail/new] Discobrain Talks returns with a powerful one. Joined by my good friend and co-host Char Warner we sit down with Pengshui for a powerful conversation rooted in independence, creativity and good energy. Fresh off the release of their new album GUTS,  MC Fatty Bassman shares what it means to build and execute a project on their own terms- doing it independently, trusting their vision and backing themselves fully. We talk about the mindset it takes to move without compromise, and the confidence that comes from knowing you did it your way. The conversation also dives into their collaboration with The Prodigy — how that connection came about, what it meant to them as artists, and how working alongside such an iconic name impacted their perspective. As always on Discobrain Talks, we weave in mental health throughout — discussing resilience, staying grounded in a fast-moving industry, and protecting your energy while pushing boundaries creatively. Independent spirit. Heavy sound. Open conversation. 🎧 Music. Mindfulness. Meaning.
