Liquid Gold Album

AfroQBen is back, with his debut album Liquid Gold Remixed Vol.1. The album was originally released back at the end of 2012. 

Producers from around the globe bring their own flavors to the QBen sound, delivering fresh new beats. Qdup Foundation from Washington DC, who is about to release his debut single on Fort Knox Recordings, opens the album by giving a massive, big beat remix with tons of dub and ghetto funk for "Massive Move Forward". Up next, the mighty Empresarios from the same team are giving their rumba house remix over "Cafe" followed by a second version by Trotter. "House Fly" continues, with acid disco vibes from label master Timewarp inc, with an extra funky house attitude. Father Funk remixes "Lift Yo Body Up" into a strict funky breaks bomb, while Nynfus Corporation brings up the dance floor heat with their amazing ghetto funk grooves over "Everyone Jump". Congo Sanchez (Drummer from Thievery Corporation) is giving us a great downtempo dub and groovy remix over "Choices in Life". Dirty Heart takes a deep 808 dub makeover by Zebuel. Drumspyder closes out  the album with his eclectic percussive world dub mix of "Dream The Impossible". Two bonus instrumental remixes are also included on the release!

Promo blurb by Fat Harry: "The ever un-pigeonholable AfroQBen is at it again, more versatile than one of those Genius QVC vegetable cutting devices that slices! and dices! It Cuts! It Chops! It tops and bottoms! Cubes? large or small Madame? It has a safety guard and cleans itself in 4 seconds! It walks the dog, speaks French, pleasures the ladies…or the fellas, it tosses! and comes in two colours! (as does AfroQBen) Blooded-knuckle red or finger nail off-white…all yours for only 3 easy payments of ninety nine nine nine nine nine! And if you call now we’ll throw in a mini-genius chopper! But that’s not all! You’ll also get a massive genius chopper and mega UBERChopU, but that’s not all! We’ll throw in a stack of tupperware! A G-String! And Mexico! Hai Carumba!"

-Big ups to Spinforth for the scour 100 feature, and for the consistant support over the years. He's helped my music get out on a more international scale and responsible for a lot of my followers here on soundcloud. I remember the first time I got scoured, I woke to my phone having a ton of soundcloud notifications, and was wondering what the hell happened... soundcloud.com/spinforth

FKX087 - Fort Knox Recordings
Worldwide Release Date: Friday November 20th, 2015

Tracklisting:
1. Musical Murder (Empresarios Remix)
2. The Chase (Sol Power All-Stars Remix)
3. The Chase (AfroQben Remix)
4. Revolution ft. Candice Mills (Omegaman Remix)

For the third and final installment of the Knowledge Shine Bright Remixed series, See-I has assembled producers from afar and hometown locals, old friends and new collaborators alike. This summer has been busy with See-I releasing several EPs and playing many shows. Looking ahead to the fall See-I will get back on the road to tour in support of the upcoming Knowledge Shine Bright Remixed album. See-I live performances are better than ever, with new material and unstoppable energy, a show crafted at the soon to be 10 year running Rockers International Wednesday night party in Washington, DC.

Remix EP 3 starts with an upbeat reworking of Musical Murder by hometown label mates Empresarios, who have stripped the track down, added percussion and then flex through a few styles, changing from house and dub to reggae throughout. A fun and creative remix which creates a sunny tropical vibe and uses Rob Myers’ original sitar parts smoothly. Two different remixes of The Chase are included, the first by Washington, DC’s own worldbeat party rockers, the Sol Power All-Stars. Their remix of The Chase slightly pitches up the tempo, creating a sizzling Afrobeat-infused house tune. Portland, Oregon’s own AfroQBen is a good friend of the Fort Knox family and also remixed The Chase. The AfroQBen remix is a deep dub reinterpretation that takes the listener on a cosmic chase through the atmosphere, smooth downtempo perfect for a late morning chill-out session. Fort Knox Recordings regular Omegaman from Sydney, Australia took on Revolution featuring vocals by Candice Mills and has created an instant classic. Omegaman has added spacey guitars, reverb and dub echoes, which spread out allowing Candice’s ethereal vocals to float down effortlessly, an epic tune of revolution.

All of the Knowledge Shine Bright Remixes have been different, and this third edition brings the party to the after hours and next morning. See-I is thrilled to be working with some of the best producers around the world and are proud of these remixes. Instrumentals of each remix are available and with a range of sounds from house, dub and reggae to downtempo these remixes are a must have for DJs and music lovers alike.

Afro Q Ben - Heat

After many years of remixing the artists of Fort Knox Recordings, AfroQben finally gets to rework Fort Knox Five, delivering a super funky take on Ready Go featuring Raashan Ahmad. The result is a fat slice of west coast g-funk with vocoded vocals and 70's funk guitar licks. Turn the volume up loud and get ready for the bass to drop!

These exclusive tunes are a preview of the label's 100th release, Pressurize The Cabin Remixed. Instrumentals are available for both of these exclusive tracks. With two heavyweight remixes spanning funk and glitch-hop, this release will keep the party going until the morning.

Lyrics and music by AfroQBen. 
Three 6 grade kids sang the chorus from Harriet Tubman Middle School class from 2002-2003 in Portland Oregon. Don't have their names. Special thanks to their chorus teacher who believed in my song and gave me the opportunity to work with the kids and get the sound I wanted to produce!

AfroQBen is a multi-instrumentalist, one man concerto whose beats are infused with his own live instrumentation, rare vinyl samples and futuristic synths swirled into a one of a kind sonic experience. His collaborations feature vocalists and musicians from around the globe, extending his sound to new realms that never become monotonous. With a heated desire to get your body moving by selecting the perfect beat, regardless of genre, QBen tends to awake the party that’s always been in your bones but hasn’t vibrated quite this way until now. With sets at Shambhala Music Festival in Canada to Envision festival in Costa Rica, new tunes being released on the regular, AfroQBen’s classic electro-funk is being heard near to far, in cars, bars and rickshaws!
