"Wow! When I was asked to contribute to Fort Knox's Epic 'Funk The World' series, I was ecstatic!  Given a month time to work on it, the pressure was on! Taking Fans 'around the world' through a musical journey is one of my favourite ways to flaunt obscure sounds. Within these 45 minutes, you'll hear Funk Drums, Latin Melodies & Rhythms, Lebanese Funk, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin Jazz, African Funk, Cumbia,  and of course, since it's 'Fort Knox';  BREAKBEATS!  Much of this is recorded from the original vinyl, and you'll hear a grip of exclusive edits & blends to this mix! Enjoy!"

10 Years of Fort Knox Five shows the music diversity of the group with one foot firmly planted in funk.  Reggae and dub can be heard clearly alongside hip-hop.  The group is not afraid to break boundaries and delve into rock, swing and even bhangra in their musical explorations.   This collection of music represents the last decade of Fort Knox Five’s musical growth and development.

Some seriously funky groups come in Five’s - The Jackson 5, The MC 5, Jurassic 5… and of course Fort Knox Five.

Fort Knox Five is known for bending genres and using a broad range of musical elements in their creation of highly original music. This approach ultimately pioneered a funky scene where FK5 continues to top charts today.

Forget about tempos and genres, let Fort Knox Five take you on a musical journey that unites the funk, soul, jazz, hip hop and electronic generations.
