FKOF Promo!

It’s a bit difficult to believe it’s been almost four months since our last digital outing at FKOF Records – and eight months since the last physical instalment to our back catalogue. But we’ve not been slacking. Today, we’re here to announce FKOFd057 and we’re excited to bring another four digital releases and a record (finally!) to you before year end. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

FKOFd057 drops next Friday, 09/09/22, (pre-order live now) and is then available at Beatport one Friday after, and on general release 30/09/22.

1. Ma Barka - Peeler
2. Ma Barka - Called It
3. Ma Barka - Slugger
4. Ma Barka - Fracture

‘057 takes us back to New Zealand (perhaps for the first time since 2016/17 and our material with Akcept’s 025, Headland’s 026 or Pugilist’s 031?), and welcomes the mighty Ma Barka to the FKOF Records family. George and Dylan have been busy with building material over the last 18months and are creating an avid audience with their heavyweight music. FKOF Records’ A&R maestro Olaf/ Korrupt has worked his magic once more and we’ve bagged four tunes we think summarise why Ma Barka are destined for greatness…

‘FKOFd057 goes to 11 pretty quickly with EP opener 'Peeler'. Cavernous atmospherics – space for days – mix with tight percussion and stabby keys. And, a theme that’ll continue across the release, the low end is concussive. Track two, 'Called It', strips things even further back to the beats, bass and space recipe we always look for. This one’s a meditative roller if there ever was one. 'Slugger', unsurprisingly, is what you’d expect from the track title. It’s brash and aggressive, and will be an overstimulating experience in front of the subs. Watch for this one. Last, but definitely not least, we have 'Fracture'. It feels like a departure from the 140 across the rest of the EP, slightly more frenetic than the other inclusions – but still provides the Ma Barka experience you’ll come to know. 

‘All in all, Dylan and George are very much on the start of their journey. At the time of writing, they’ve not yet broken the 150 follower figure on SoundCloud. But that’s not going to stay static for much longer. Christchurch has been deservedly known for fostering incredible bass-forward music, and Ma Barka are quickly starting to follow in the footsteps of NZ’s sound system forefathers.’

DEXTER IN THE NEWSAGENT - WITH U (BLOOD OF AZA COVER)

TELOS

Sitting at the intersection of dubstep and grime, MOVING FWD >> is a high-energy, rave-ready cut laced with lyrical depth. Produced by SICARIA and featuring razor-sharp bars from Emz, the track pays homage to the early 00s and 10s: an era of pirate radio, Bluetooth ringtones, and tight-knit crews. But this isn’t just nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. 

Framed as a nod to the legendary FWD>> parties, the track is a powerful reflection on how far we've come and what we’ve left behind. With a message rooted in community, reflection, and resistance, MOVING FWD >> urges listeners to be the glitch in the system - to rebuild connection in a world that’s moving too fast.

FKOF Promo!

It seems slightly odd to be celebrating with what’s going on around the world at the moment, but we’ll do what we can to support the FatKidOnFire family of artists in these uncertain times. 
So with that in mind, we’re pressing on with our #FKOF10 plans (doing what we can to mark our first decade) and, if anything, trying to ramp up the frequency of releases on the digital imprint.

'FKOFd043' is available from the FKOFd Bandcamp and @junodownload tomorrow, 10/04/20, and will be available from all good electronic retailers two weeks later. Hit the buy link attached to pre-order the release...

1. Ourman - Out Here
2. Ourman - Phantom
3. Ourman - Nirdsong
4. Ourman - Lost Winds

"Our next FKOFd EP features a fairly prolific up-and-coming musician who's had a good stack of releases - both solo and collaborative - over the last 18mo or so. @ourmanmusic joins us off the back of three releases (either out or quickly impending) with DUPLOC, solo EPs with the crews at Instigate Recordings, Noizion, Sub Audio and Locus Sound and a few appearances on compilations. He's been busy. We got talking to Armand after signing his tune on the #FKOF10 release and have been able to pin him down for four choice cuts on the FKOFd043 EP.

"We open with 'Out Here', a gentler affair than the rest on the EP, which goes some way to demonstrate the producers talent across the 140bpm spectrum. Proper chill tune! If you like this one, you'll love Ourman's tune on #FKOF10. Track 2, 'Phantom' takes things down a notch with its grimey synths. It was one of the first tunes in the demos we knew we had to bag! 'Nirdsong' continues with its weight and brooding vibe - watch for the second drop. We close with 'Lost Winds', an atmospheric example of why we've signed this artist. Wicked sampling, great percs and a killer low end. The break is an especially nice touch.

"We've always done our best to support the up-and-coming artists in 140bpm, and we'll continue to do so - whatever happens. There's a lot of wicked music coming your way and we'll really stoked to welcome Armand to the FKOF fam with his debut EP. Keep your eyes and ears on our various platforms as we continue rolling out releases this year and please do what you can to help these artists in these uncertain times!"
