It's been a while since I've released a free tune, and y'all voted and asked for something old school. Hip-hop was a close second, I'll release that one later on. So much love and respect to all of you, really hope you feel this tune.

FKOF Premiere! 

We premiered Bristol-based @spektiv_uk's debut on imprint @transparentaudiouk almost two years back. You lot seemed to rate it, with the upload clocking over 20k streams. 

Well, we're stoked to say the pairing's happened again and the 2024 edition of Spektiv x Transparent Audio might be even bigger than the 2022 version. Here's the premiere of  aptly-titled 'Bone Rattler'! You can bag this via the buy link from Friday, 26/01/24.

Bone Rattler

Spektiv - Bone Rattler (TSA040) [FKOF Premiere]

FKOF Premiere!

Next up on @fotosounds is @kalidubs' 021 EP - a weighty four tracker. Here's the FKOF Premiere of the title track, 'Mad Cow' featuring Vandull and Snowy...

The 'Mad Cow' EP, 'FOTO021', is out 16th February via the label's Bandcamp and drops from the usual digital retailers from the 23rd Feb.

"For 'FOTO021' we bring you a 4 track EP from up and coming artist Kali coming out of Manchester (recently relocated to Canada), to pursue his music career following his tour over there.

"The title track 'Mad Cow' featuring Nottingham MC Vandulliza known for his militant flow and style like no other, along with Snowy who has recently been taken in by 1985 and started to get the recognition he deserves has been a steeple in Khanum's sets for around 2 years now and after a long time waiting it's finally ready to be put out. All 4 tracks on 021 bring different types of energy to the table; with the title track accompanied by two of the best 140 MC's around it brings that hype, whilst 'Fanta Fruit' twist explores Kali's technical side revolving around skippy vocal chops like nothing we've seen before on Foto. Switching the flavours to the aggy 'Spartan' where our newest artist focuses on the programming of breaks showing his versatility. Last but not least wrapping up the EP the track 'Bowza' includes a flawlessly executed, melodic masterpiece, ready for any MC or host to shell down in any set."

Kromestar lands on Boka Records for his very first appearance on the label. A stalwart of the scene since pretty much day dot, it's an honour to have Kromey represent some new beats on the label, in the shape of the truly menacing 'Instigator' alongside the introspective and haunting string-led 'Guilt Trip'. Kromey and Boka gunna be on fire this year so hold tight.

Obskure - Loong (JTFD009)

It's been a hot minute since we dropped a free download, so we're excited to welcome Obskure to the series with this special release.

'Loong' is an angelic ensemble that weaves together harmonically soothing strings, elevating vocal shouts, and resonating atmospheric pads, all anchored by a rolling bassline and pulsing complementary mid-tones.

@lurkskywalker_vs has been a Vancouver staple for years, and you can hear it in Luminescence—proper Canadian dubstep at its finest. Think early Zeds Dead but stripped down: a warped synth patch, slow-opening filters, mid-bass growl, and vocals that add just the right soul. Deceptively catchy, rave-ready, and guaranteed to spark bass faces. Big up Daniel 👌
