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.

This Fall marks the official 20th Anniversary of Fort Knox Five and to celebrate this milestone, the group reached out to a few of their favorite producers to remix some FK5 classics. First up in this new series is The Allergies remixing the Fort Knox Five hip-hop anthem “Insight” featuring Asheru, and this one is a certified banger!

The Allergies remix is 21st century funky hip-hop on steroids, complete with some retro-heavy guitars, crunchy beats and crashing breaks. This is definitely not some backpacker hip-hop, instead pushing the boundaries of hard funk and beats. The Allergies are best known for reshaping funky vintage sounds for the modern dance floor and they bring all their best bells and whistles to bear on this remix.

The Allergies have delivered a no holds barred funky hip-hop monster and kick off the new series of remixes in style. It is an honor to have such legends flip one of FK5’s tracks, and bring so much new energy and excitement to the song. Asheru said it best in his lyrics - "this is music with a meaning and party with a purpose", and now, The Allergies have funked it up all over again!

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 two exclusive new remixes in this series as well as two new compilations - Another Decade of Fort Knox Five followed by Another Decade of FK5 Remixed featuring some of the funkiest producers, including Stickybuds, Megan Hamilton, K+Lab and more!

Feel You

Awakening nasce como a forma mais pura de HOOSTAGE revelando o que vive dentro dele: a conexão profunda com a arte e com o som.
O projeto marca o renascimento de uma mente que nunca deixou de criar, mesmo no silêncio. Este primeiro álbum é o selo definitivo do compromisso do artista com a música, um compromisso construído ao longo de anos, agora materializado em cada textura, cada virada, cada detalhe.

Nada aqui busca seguir tendência. A intenção é sentir. O disco carrega uma identidade que não tenta imitar nada; apenas se afirma. É música feita com consciência, intenção e história. Despertar não repete fórmulas: ele se posiciona.

A mensagem é simples e direta: escute sem pressa e permita que cada faixa revele o seu próprio significado. fragmentos.

Awakening is born as the purest form of HOOSTAGE, revealing what lives within him: a deep connection with art and sound.
The project marks the rebirth of a mind that never stopped creating, even in silence. This first album is the definitive seal of the artist's commitment to music, a commitment built over years, now materialized in every texture, every turn, every detail.

Nothing here seeks to follow trends. The intention is to feel. The album carries an identity that doesn't try to imitate anything; it simply asserts itself. It's music made with awareness, intention, and history. Awakening doesn't repeat formulas: it takes a stand.

The message is simple and direct: listen without haste and allow each track to reveal its own meaning. fragments.

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.
