From the very first 12” release, Fort Knox Recordings was all about remix culture and over the past 20 years some of the worlds top producers and DJs have taken their turn remixing the already funky Fort Knox Five. Another Decade of Funk Remixed compiles 16 of the biggest remixes from the last 10 years and continues the collection started on 10 Years of Fort Knox Five Remixed (2013).

The second decade kicks off with a selection of remixes from FK5’s sophomore studio album, Pressurize The Cabin, including The Funk Hunters hands-in-the-air remix of “Whatcha Gonna Do”, SkiiTour’s house anthem flip of “Fire in my Belly”, Farid’s Latin Disco remix of “Cinco to the Brinco” and the deep desert vibes of Sabo’s “Mission to the Sitars”.

Following on the heels of Pressurize were a series of singles that saw the group exploring new sounds and the killer remixes kept coming. K+lab amps up the 70’s funk of “Don’t Go” into a retro bass fueled floor burner. Stickybuds rides the line between electro, glitch-hop and classic funk on his remix of “Give it a Minute”. Megan Hamilton pushes the mid-tempo wobble of “Keep the Funk Real” into a funky, chunky, house bouncer and TWOGOOD flips the mid-tempo laid back hip hop of “Start the Ride” into a high energy, 303-laced funky banger.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the group enlisted some of their top tier producer friends create modern remixes of FK5 classics. The Allergies transform the hip-hop anthem “Insight” into a hard funk track with retro-heavy guitars and crunchy beats. Krafty Kuts injects the Bossa Nova swagger of “The Brazilian Hipster” with some seriously fat beats and bass creating a certified bomb. The Sponges weave in some modern beats, dirty synths and party chants into their House remix of “The Party Pushers” and Pineo & Loeb hit a home run with their vocal heavy funky house remix of “Keep it Poppin’.”

This compilation also features three previously unreleased new remixes. “Dodge City Rockers” gets a funky breaks update from Basement Freaks, full of horns and old school flavors. The Gaff turns “Funk 4 Peace” into an 808 bass fueled hip hop track and Lou E. Bagels gives us a modern beefed up House remix of the original dancehall meets breaks track “Killa Sound Boy.”

"Playin' With Fire ft. Emily Molloy (WBBL Remix)"
by Fort Knox Five

https://orcd.co/FireRemixed

Out on Friday November 5th, 2021

This past summer, Fort Knox Five released “Playin' with Fire”, a fresh slice of retro-soul-tinged modern funk featuring the sweet soul meets rock n roll vocals of Emily Molloy.  The original  is a strutting, head bobbing groover and caught the attention of both WBBL and X-Ray Ted who were eager to remix the track.  FK5 have been longtime fans of both producers, but these remixes are the first outings for these artists on Fort Knox Recordings.

Having been an admirer of his hi-fi glitch hop production for years, it was a dream to get WBBL to work his magic on a Fort Knox Five track.  As you would expect, WBBL added some overstuffed bass, zippy electro-synths and crisp drums with Emily Molloy's soul strutting vocals to create some space-age funk! In true WBBL fashion he has upped the ante and transformed the sultriness of the original into a funky 105bpm  glitchy-bass monster, both beautiful to listen to and bombastic enough to get your booty shaking!.

X-Ray Ted has been pumping out the funky beats on our good friends' Bombstrikes label, and his tracks have been an integral part of the FK5 DJ sets over the past few years. On his remix, X-Ray Ted ups the tempo and gives the track a healthy dose of what It  needs for the dance floor: breakbeats!  We are talking about the  classic party breaks style, as in breakdancers, b-boys and b-girls.  Crisp funky drummer beats along with  flutes,  percussion and a funky vintage bass line come together for a classic b-boy anthem vibe.  

We are so pleased to have finally gotten our U.K. brothers WBBL and X-Ray Ted to remix Fort Knox Five! Playin with Fire has become one of our favorite original tracks of the past couple years, and these two remixes take the funky soul of the original track and flips them into some dance floor gems. Instrumental versions are also included on this new release.

by Fort Knox Five
FKX149 - Fort Knox Recordings

Out Now Worldwide:  https://orcd.co/kraftyhipster

This Fall marks the official 20th Anniversary of Fort Knox Five and to celebrate this milestone, the group has gotten some top tier producers to remix FK5 classics. Hot on the heels of The Allergies remix of 'Insight' is UK breaks 'n' Bass maestro Krafty Kuts, taking on the ultimate Fort Knox Five anthem 'The Brazilian Hipster.' Krafty does the impossible and injects the retro swagger of the original with some seriously fat beats and bass turning it into a dance floor monster!

Often it's just one song that comes to define an artist, becoming their marquee track. For Fort Knox Five that track is 'The Brazilian Hipster.' The tune became an instant sensation and party hit, appearing on the famed Hotel Costes collection and the soundtrack to the Academy Award-winning documentary 'The Cove.'

Krafty pays homage to the original track by incorporating Rob Myers' swanky Bossa Nova guitar lick, and those classic, heavy-hitting horn riffs while upping the tempo and the energy. He manages to catch a little of the laid-back magic of the original and turn it up - way up!

'The Brazilian Hipster' is far and away the most popular FK5 track on Spotify, and has earned a spot in the record bin of timeless tracks. With this new take on the track, Krafty has given us another chance to celebrate this classic on the dance floor.

Fort Knox Recordings thrives as a melting pot of genres, where Reggae, Funk, Breaks, Latin, House, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, and more find their rightful home. Stay tuned for the next exclusive new remix in this series as well as the Another Decade of FK5 Remixed compilation featuring some of the worlds funkiest producers, including Stickybuds, Megan Hamilton, K+Lab and more!

"The Party Pushers ft. Mustafa Akbar (The Sponges Remix)"
by Fort Knox Five
Out Worldwide Friday November 3rd, 2023
Available here:  https://orcd.co/spongesrmx


This Fall marks the official 20th Anniversary of Fort Knox Five, and to celebrate this milestone, the group has enlisted some top tier producers to remix a few FK5 classics. For the 150th release on Fort Knox Recordings, and the third in the new series of anniversary remixes, Fort Knox Five have tapped The Sponges to bring their magic touch to remix the electro-disco breaks anthem “The Party Pushers.”

The duo are on the forefront of a new generation of funky house producers and have built their sound by sampling classic tracks and seamlessly blending in funk, tech house and heavy bass elements. They bring all their tricks to the remix of “The Party Pushers”, incorporating the P-Funk influenced vocals of Mustafa Akbar, weaving in booming bass, dirty synths, bleeps and stabs, all propelled by those chunked out bouncy beats.

Starting with Rob Myers' relentlessly distorted funk guitar loop and slowly building using the original's party vocal track, they layer more and more of the vocals and tease the build until Mustafa’s vocoded voice tell you to “turn it up.” And that is just what the Sponges do, amping up an already funky song into a hands-in-the air jam!

The Sponges have taken their approach of flipping classic funk songs and conjured all their mojo on “The Party Pushers”, delivering a monster of a party track for a new generation of music lovers!

As Mustafa says “Thats when the party gets good”

Fort Knox Five is proud to present their latest single, “Whatcha Gonna Do” featuring Mustafa Akbar with killer remixes by The Funk Hunters and Father Funk.  

Fort Knox Five’s longtime friends and brothers in funk, Vancouver-based The Funk Hunters have delivered one of the baddest floor-rocking remixes ever!  This track debuted in the Fractal Forest at the 2015 Shambhala Music Festival where it electrified the masses and brought the crowd to a fever pitch. The Funk Hunters have injected their signature sound into “Whatcha Gonna Do” with big drops, huge hooks, and enough glitch and disco to make you put your hands up!  This is a guaranteed banger full of West Coast synths and chunked out beats. Easy to see why this one is already a staple of The Funk Hunters amazing live sets.

The next “Whatcha Gonna Do” Remix is by Father Funk, the Leeds, UK based producer known for his clever remixes and smashing edits.  Father Funk’s remix begins with Rob Myers’ retro wah-wah guitar and Mustafa Akbar’s soulful party chants then quickly escalates into a wobbly, bass heavy, butt-shaking glitch-hop monster! Hold on tight as Father Funk breaks it down, takes it back to the original soul vibe and then finishes strong with a deep groove.

The original mix of “Whatcha Gonna Do” featuring Mustafa Akbar is a quintessential Fort Knox Five slice of retro disco funk – straight from the ’70s – infused with tight, electronic production. With its live horns, funky guitar riffs and Mustafa Akbar’s soulful hooks, Fort Knox Five has created an irresistible party anthem. DJs and radio stations alike have rallied behind “Whatcha Gonna Do”, making it one of the lead tracks from Fort Knox Five’s 2015 album Pressurize The Cabin.

https://fortknox.bandcamp.com/album/give-it-a-minute-ft-bcap-stickybuds-remix

The story of Fort Knox Five and Stickybuds goes back over a decade, funk is the glue that binds these brothers together, and they have rocked the same great festivals and shows across the US and Canada.  All of that funky party rockin' has culminated with Stickybuds' first official remix of Fort Knox Five, his reinterpretation of Give It A Minute featuring bcap. No doubt you have heard Stickybuds teasing the crowd with some exclusive Fort Knox Five acapellas and drops over the years in his legendary sets, but this opens a whole new chapter with his bombastic remix.

Stickybuds cuts right to the chase, as his mix opens up immediately to bcap's narrative verse and the relentless percussive synths that propel it over the hard hitting beats.  Synth pop sensibilities of groups like Oliver and Chromeo can be heard dripping over Stickybuds unique glitch-hop style production.  With epic big builds and organic drum fills, the remix rides the line between electro and classic funk.  

From the start the remix gets you hooked on the dancefloor, delivering bcap's catchy chorus over booty shaking beats. And then the big break down devastates with its cut-up and asymmetrical glitched-out vocals layered on top of the electro-synths. Featuring a healthy dose of Rob Myers' guitar/synth lines and heavily utilizing the original vocals, the remix maintains the vibe of FK5's original track. Stickybuds delivers the goods and flips the Future Funk, Go-Go meets Glitch-Hop of the original into an Electro meets Glitch-Hop dancefloor powerhouse.

Also included is the instrumental version, which slays on its own and highlights Stickybuds impeccable studio production.  This killer remix of Give It A Minute is meant to be played loud and danced furiously to, and is the best way we could imagine finishing out the year, with an absolute banger.
