FKOF Promo!

After a brief hiatus to sort our upcoming pipeline of (pretty epic, even if we say so ourselves) releases, FKOF Records is back with the next FKOFd release. The EP welcomes yet another new artist to the family and sets the tone for the two records and digital EP that follow it. It’s been a good year for our back catalogue.

'FKOFd052' is available from the FKOFd Bandcamp tomorrow, Friday 01/10/21, and Beatport two weeks after that, 15/10/21, and will be available from all good electronic retailers a fortnight later. Hit the buy link to pre-order the release from us - and use `FKOFd052` at checkout for 20% off our entire store during October's bandcamp Friday <3

1. Darkfella - Revolver

2. Darkfella - High Note

3. Darkfella - Black Salute

4. Darkfella - Zoid

''FKOFd052' sees London-based Darkfella release what we think is his first solo EP of 140 material. The producer cut his teeth in the late ’90s on acid house and hardcore, before discovering both jungle, breaks and drum & bass at the turn of the millennium. As a DJ, Darkfella held down regular spots on Rude FM, Future FM and even Rinse FM as the genres combined, evolved and developed into exciting new sounds that resulted in what we know today as grime and dubstep. Darkfella’s used that extensive experience to produce material that evokes the genre’s early days while feeling as fresh as 2021 sound does. These tunes landed as cold demos and we’ve been super excited to work with Darkfella on what’s become FKOFd052.

''Revolver' kicks things off with its low, swinging stepper of a vibe. Dub sirens, rolling weight and crisp drums. Track two, 'High Note', is early dubstep material through and through. The samples, the percussion, the space. It’s everything attendees to venues like Plastic People, Mass and Melkweg were hearing in the early 2000s. 'Black Salute' takes a slightly different step, stepping up the energy but maintaining the beats, bass and atmospheres we know and love. We close with 'Zoid', a frenetic and adventurous end to the release which maintains the level of quality we love to see from producers we work with. Eyes down, subs up.

'Stumbling on absolute gold like these four tunes from relatively unknown producers like Damian is part of why we do what we do at FKOF Records. It took us a while to pin down the release but we’re so glad we got these demos and worked up one of our favourite EPs from 2021. Thank you Damian for trusting us with your music and we hope you all enjoy these as much as we do!'

FKOF Promo!

The next FKOF Records release sees us welcome four artists back into the FKOF fold with our first VIP record in the imprint’s history. It’s great seeing artists remix other artists’ work and putting a new spin on it, but there’s something special about producers revisiting their own work to put an extra spicy flip on solo material. So that’s what we’ve done with FKOFv006…

The release is available for pre-order from us today, 6th August 2021, with shipping from 17th September. You'll be able to pre-order from our friends at Unearthed Sounds (/ the rest of the retailers with the record) from Tuesday 24th August.

A1. Ourman - Nirdsong VIP

A2. Roklem - Forged VIP

B1. Substrada ft. Riko Dan - Calibre VIP

B2. WZ - Dossier VIP

“Much like FKOFd050 saw us remixing tunes we'd only ever released on vinyl, FKOFv006 VIPs tunes we’ve released over the last few years from some of our favourite FKOF fam. Three digital tunes, one B2 off a record we dropped a few years back and four brand new bangers.

“We open our sixth record with Ourman’s reimagining of material from his chart-topping FKOFd043 from April 2020. This is one of our best-selling releases from the catalogue and ‘Nirdsong' exemplifies our love for the French musician’s talent. The VIP is no different. It’s got enough of the original mix in it, but reimagines it on a slightly simpler twist. Watch for the percussion and the low end! Next up, we’ve got Roklem’s ‘Forged’ VIP from his collab FKOFd039 EP with Sebalo in September 2019. The original mix is one of the most powerful tunes we’ve ever released, and the VIP is no different. Watch for it damaging the dancefloor, it’s a huge tune. The b-side opens with a VIP of ‘Calibre’, one of the standout signings from 2020 from Substrada and London City Warlord Riko Dan on FKOFd046. It’s everything great from the original mix, with a darker, dirtier rework for 2021. Beautiful stuff. Last, but definitely not least, is WZ’s rework of his epic ‘Dossier’ from FKOFv003. It’s a beats, bass and space tune - as we know and love, but the VIP puts more beats, bass and space into the new mix. Absolute power from the Shakhta Records bossman.

“Some of these tunes are the first VIPs the artists have ever done (or ever released) and we’re stoked to continue supporting such talent across the 140bpm spectrum. This music is meant for the physical format, so we’re excited to be putting these four cuts onto plates and into your hands!”
