FKOF Promo!
It’s been over fifteen years since we launched FKOF, and we're not far off celebrating FKOF Records' – our physical and digital imprint – fifteenth birthday, too. Although we've slowed our release cadence from the monthly efforts of our heyday, we're still here and still working with impeccable musicians. Even if we say so ourselves – and if you don't believe us, we'll let FKOFd061 do the talking…
FKOFd061 is available via our bandcamp rn, from 25/07/25 onwards. It's then available at Beatport two weeks after, 08/08/24, and on general release two weeks after that, 22/08/25.
1. Atsuko - We're Different
2. Atsuko - So
3. Atsuko - Those Who Seek
4. Atsuko - So (S0LID remix)
‘The early to mid 2010s were golden years for experimental 140bpm material. It was the era dubstep had established itself, and was evolving into the multi-layered, all-encompassing genre it continues to be today. 2013 also saw both FatKidOnFire (with our FKOF Free Downloads and FKOF mixes) and the nascent FKOF Records start to find their groove. As is often the case, some decade plus later, we're still finding the music that excited us all those years ago. So much so, we've tapped a producer we've had in the extended FKOF fam for our first digital outing in over a year...
‘FKOFd061 formally welcomes Atsuko to the FKOF Records family after his debut 'FKOF' EP all those years ago (and, ICYMI, you can grab the free downloads in the links below). We're also stoked to welcome the sonic troublemaker S0LID to the record with one of the weightiest remixes we've had the pleasure of homing. Much like the tunes that first caught our attention in the 2010s, Atsuko's continued to hone his sound and provides ample summary of why we rate him with his release. 'We're Different' stutters into consciousness with chopped vocal samples, crisp percussive power and a real groove. Track two, 'So', dials up the low end and has soundtracked many a nighttime journey since we signed it. Lovely stuff. 'Those Who Seek' strips things back to the basics with its seamless beats, bass and space approach. Not to be outdone, S0LID joins proceedings with his 'So' remix as EP closer. It's a monster. Not much else to say!
‘We've rated Atsuko since we first discovered him in 2012/13. Stoked to pull a record together, and have S0LID involved as well. We hope you rate the tunes, we do!'
