Slynk and Fort Knox Five released their DC to BC collaboration in Fall 2021. “Keep the Funk Real” is a mid-tempo glitch-hop banger that features Evan’s signature killer keyboard riffs, fat bass drops, funky guitar hooks, strings, horns and bumpin’ beats. The next step was to find a remixer and their mutual admiration for Megan Hamilton’s production and funky approach to music made her the obvious choice! 

Megan Hamilton is a producer/vocalist out of Minneapolis and is known for her unique mix of hypnotic bass lines, funky riffs and house grooves. On top of releasing her own original music, she has been collaborating with artists like Defunk and touring with such notable acts as Opiuo, delivering her groovy brand of funk and creating quite a wave of hype along the way!

On her remix of Keep the Funk Real, she pushes the original’s mid-tempo wobbly direction into a funky, chunky, bubbling bouncer of a track. By speeding up the tempo, adding a banging house beat and flipping the music elements, Megan manages to keep the funky soul vibe of the track intact, while creating a super fun floor-burner that’s guaranteed to move your feet!

This remix is a sure fire “straight to the crates” tune that is destined to be funking up festivals all summer long. The release also includes an instrumental mix for the DJs.

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!

Does your life need more cowbell and funky bass?  

Over the past decade there has been a strong connection between Washington DC and British Columbia, Canada. Both places have produced and nurtured some incredibly talented funkateers, many of whom have remixed Fort Knox Five over the years. It has been a dream of ours to collaborate with these artists on original tracks, pushing forward the future sound of funk to start a new era that we have dubbed "DC to BC." This release is the first of these collaborations, and the end result is nothing short of a boogie monster!  

Jinglin’ Janglin’ was written with the funk and glitch hop maestro K+lab, a New Zealander who now calls Vancouver, BC home. His funky keys, electro-basses and catchy clavinets ooze all over this track. With the addition of Rob Myers' Chic-inspired guitars and a super-stabby horn line, this track positively bounces along – a perfect hybrid of the K+Lab and FK5 styles! On top of all that, the tune features vocals from Hip-Hop royalty: Baby Bam of the Jungle Brothers, who has worked alongside De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest going back to the 1980s. His vocals bubble all over the track, telling you to just "funk wit it" and jinglin and janglin the vibes straight to your feet! This tune is a modern funk-meets-glitch hop banger that has been torching dance floors and festivals all summer.  

We are super stoked to launch the DC to BC series with this wicked Captain K+lab collaboration. Already proven to do heavy duty on the dance floor, this release includes an instrumental mix for the DJs. Keep the funk janglin’ with this booty-shaker and stay tuned for the next installment of the DC to BC collabs.

My tribute to the great James Brown, Tommy Stewart, and the Fractal Forest at Shambhala Music Festival, my home. This track is comprised of a ton of samples, my own production, and a toasting from the great Mr. Williamz.

Used as my opener for Shambhala Music festival in 2017, here it is for free, for you. All that I ask for is a Pre-save on Spotify of my upcoming "Take A Stand Remix Album" and our playlists. If you are really against that, send me a message and I'll happily send you the direct dl link!

All the best!
