Another Decade of Funk LP
by Fort Knox Five
FKX148 - Another Decade of Funk (2013-2023)
Out Worldwide on Friday September 29th, 2023
Available Here:   https://orcd.co/decadefunk


in 2003 Steve Raskin, Rob Myers, Jon Horvath, and Sid Barcelona formed Fort Knox Five in Washington, D.C. as a project to explore all things funky, regardless of genre or tempo. From the beginning, the vibe was retro, the sound was funk, and the beats were fresh. 20 years into it and FK5 are still going strong!

Another Decade of Funk continues the musical journey started on 10 years of Fort Knox Five released in 2013. That compilation showcased the origins and evolution of the Fort Knox sound and created the foundation for the decade that followed.

The story of the second decade kicks off with Fort Knox Five’s sophomore studio album,
Pressurize The Cabin. This collection features some choice gems from that release including the boom bap party anthem "Reach”, featuring Flex Mathews.  Mustafa Akbar drops the funk on “Whatcha Gonna Do” and “Keep it Poppin” while legendary British trombonist and soul crooner Ashley Slater brings the heat on “Fire in my Belly.” (Available here as a radio edit for the first time)

After a chance meeting with Sir Joe Quarterman, one of D.C.’s legendary singers from the 70’s, the group cooked up the floor burner “Don’t Go”, which captures the vibe of D.C.’s classic funk era. “Give it a Minute” pushes the hometown influence into the future with its Go-Go meets 808 jeep beats topped by the bouncing crisp flow of Bcap. 

In 2017 Steve relocated to British Columbia and some incredible collaborations followed starting with the modern funk-meets-glitch hop banger “Jinglin’ Janglin’” with K+Lab, featuring vocals by hip hop royalty Baby Bam (Jungle Brothers). The “DC to BC” series grew, teaming up with Slynk on “Keep the Funk Real”, and with Lazy Syrup Orchestra on “Start the Ride”, both exploring some west coast mid tempo vibes. 

Alongside these future forward collaborations, the classic FK5 sound can be heard loud and clear on “Playing with Fire” featuring Emily Molloy as well as the funky instrumental groover “McGuires Audio Shop.” 

The 11 tracks on Another Decade of Funk celebrate the funky flavors that Fort Knox Five have been creating over the last decade, and see the continued evolution of the group taking the FK sound straight into the future. 

Fort Knox Recordings thrives as a melting pot of genres, where Funk, Breaks, House, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, and more find their rightful home. Stay tuned for brand new remixes celebrating the 20th Anniversary followed by Another Decade of FK5 Remixed featuring remixes from Stickybuds, Krafty Kuts, Megan Hamilton, and more!

Disco Cakes burst out the gates and brings you 5 hip hop and funk infused tracks from latvian producers https://soundcloud.com/djdubra & https://soundcloud.com/Arteo . Title track Funk phenomenon comes correct and delivers the funk from the outset slapping you with a dope rising bass line. Kill a man cranks it up a notch sampling 90s hip hop icons Cypress Hill to deliver some heavy dance floor ammo. Sexy back teases and builds perfectly and drops you like no other track youve heard before. I need a miracle reworks Tocas Miracle on a fun and bouncy vibe while Fat ass beat steps it up again with plenty of wavy bass, rolling beats and perfectly executed funk samples. Chunky.

Dub:ra x Arteo - Fat Ass Beat

Artist:  Fort Knox Five
Release:  Give It A Minute ft. bcap
Label: Fort Knox Recordings
Catalog #: FKX109

Available Exclusively on Beatport:
https://www.beatport.com/release/give-it-a-minute/2005750

Worldwide Release Date:   March 26th, 2017

Tracklisting:
1. Give It A Minute ft. bcap (Original Mix)
2. Give It A Minute (Instrumental Mix)


Building on the momentum of last year's hit single “Don't Go” Fort Knox Five return to the studio to collaborate with bcap, a fresh rhymeslayer from Boston, on the new tune “Give It A Minute.” The sound of this new single reflects FK5's musical sensibilities and exposure to new sounds from touring worldwide.  The result is a catchy, Future Funk, bass-heavy, Go-Go meets Glitch-Hop track that is sure to shake booties around the globe.

After Fort Knox Five remixed “Smoke Machine” by Ursula 1000 featuring bcap on vocals, they were eager to get him in the studio for an original production.  Brian Capobianchi, aka bcap, first vibed with the Fort Knox family while WXGR was lauching ESL Radio a few years ago, in support of Thievery Corporation and their label.  Recorded around the New Year, bcap's party-rocking and thought-provoking lyrics were dropped on top of some raw beats and his bluesy, NOLA-style vocals – in the vein of Dr. John – inspired Fort Knox Five's production.

The Washington, DC infuence can be heard throughout the track, with giant Roto-toms, a steady pulsing beat and a relentless Go-Go percussion workout. As usual, guitars rule the day for Fort Knox Five.  Where other producers might use synthesizers, the group puts the guitar in the spotlight, treating it as a synth throughout.  Rob Myers' funky, rubber band licks provide the melody and the hooks, while the chunky beats and sub-bass propel the song.  With nods to old-school retro-funk and the native Go-Go scene, “Give It A Minute” sets a new standard for the future sound of DC.

The DC Funk Parade picked Future Funk as the 2017 theme and “Give It A Minute” could be the anthem for the event. As bcap says in the track “Still the people keep playin’ my song.” Get ready to hear this infectious, funky-groover at festivals and boomin' out of Jeeps all summer long!  Stay tuned for remixes coming soon, while an instrumental version is also included on the single.

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.
