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, 08/08/25, 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!'

FKOF Premiere!

Back at it again with the latest EP from our friends from Brno; @semfree - and our 250th FKOF Premiere! This time we've a heavyweight tune featuring the sounds of @seekidentification and @korode, featuring vocals from Ethics.

'Six Feet Deep' and 'Depth Charge' on the flip drop this coming Friday, 01/08/25. Hit the buy link to pre-order from the label's bandcamp shortly.

"'Six Feet Deep' pairs seek:id and Korode’s rhythmic tension and bassweight with a vocal feature from Ethics, whose bars cut through the mix with focus and intent. The track blends minimal drums, sub pressure, and dark atmosphere. 'Depth Charge' sees seek:id go solo—low-slung and spacious, with gritty mids and rolling percussion. Drawing from South London influence, the release sits in the deeper end of dubstep, tuned for sound system play."

After his appearance on the imprint's second LP, @ruffiedj returns to @semfree with his debut solo material!

"A powerful two-track single from Romanian producer Ruffie, featuring 'Recoil' and 'Espionage'. Driven by razor-sharp breaks and deep, mechanical grooves, a narrative steeped in science fiction and futurist tension."

'Recoil' and this one on the flip - 'Espionage' - form 'SEM012'. The two tracker drops next Friday, 6th June 2025. Hit the buy link to pre-order from the label's bandcamp shortly.

FKOF Premiere!

LA-based bass alchemist @woventhorns returns, this time on her own @ruins_corp imprint (co-founded with @mesck), with an EP that drips atmosphere and crushes subs in equal measure.

It’s the very first time since we spotlighted RUINS here; The ‘Devour EP’ reminds us why the label is essential listening for boundary-pushing dubstep. Daring to be different.

‘Stillness Between Breaths’ (S2) is a haunting, slow-bloom descent into low-end gravity, knife-edge basslines, bleeding melodies, and a tension that lingers long after the last hit. Equal parts aching nostalgia and dread; pure Woven Thorns.

Make sure to bag RUINS002, with Stillness Between Breaths (second single) releasing on 05/11/2025 and the Devour full EP following on 19/11/2025; pre-save via the link below and grab the vinyl on Bandcamp. Support familia!

FKOF Promo!

We’re hyped to premiere a serious heavyweight: the legendary @distance steps up for his debut on @artikal-music-uk with a monstrous remix of Darkai & Ears' ‘Gems’. His 'Souljah' flip hits hard, a pure nod to the roots with old-school breakstep energy, fused with Distance’s unmistakable, razor-sharp 2025 production.

Our FKOF fam @darkai already dropped a bomb, but Distance injects a whole new level of raw power into it. Big energy, big weigh. This remix is absolutely essential to rinse in any sweaty basement.

'ARTKL074RE' is out now (25/04/2025) across all familiar platforms. Hit the buy link and show some love for Distance, Wraz, and the mighty Artikal Musik UK!

FKOF Promo!

It's been a minute. It's been even longer for this record - our first in 3 years.

Well, this weekend is FatKidOnFire's 15th birthday. So here we are, with the long-awaited 9th instalment to our physical imprint - and the first to feature TRAKA & Rider Shafique, and the latest to welcome Oddkut back to the FKOF Records family...

FKOFv009 is available for pre-order now (just hit the buy link), and drops on general release 25th April. Watch out for lots more coming around this EP over the coming weeks/ months - guest mix, remixes and more. Thanks for all your support over the last 15years, hope we can celebrate the birthday suitably over the rest of 2025 <3

A1. TRAKA ft. Rider Shafique - So (Original Mix)


A2. TRAKA - Shock Em Up (Original Mix)


B1. TRAKA - Silus (Original Mix)


B2. TRAKA ft. Oddkut - Shake Junt (Original Mix)

“The ninth outing on FKOF Records’ physical imprint opens with the anthemic voice of Rider Shafique joining forces with TRAKA for ‘So'. Hard-hitting truths, juddering percussion and a rolling low end so solid you can almost chew on it. Keep fighting and rise.

“Next up, we ratchet things up a notch with ‘Shock Em Up’. It’s an absolute unit of a tune, and when we get asked for what we mean by beats, bass and space this is our 2025 example. Effective heavyweight sonic warfare.

“FKOF009’s B-side opens with ‘Silus' – continuing along the foundations TRAKA laid on the A-side. Suffocating power, engaging atmospherics and a vibe that works at peak time on the dancefloor as well as it does opening or closing out the graveyard slot.

“We close out the record welcoming Oddkut back for his latest outing on FKOF Records with the TRAKA collab ‘Shake Junt’. It twists and turns through its first drop, before taking a completely new direction in the break. It’s an absolute groove and one that’s been a firm favourite for as long as it’s been in the bag.”
