From rocking it at Red Rocks opening for the Thievery Corporation live band to playing Lightning In A Bottle, What The Festival, Sonic Bloom, Shambhala, Bass Coast, Raindance, and Wakarusa, we can easily say that Fort Knox Five have had a very busy year – both in the clubs and out on the festival circuit. In fact, it was at the 2009 Earthdance Festival in Laytonville, California that the group was introduced to the Crown City Rockers and vocalist Raashan Ahmad. A connection was made and a promise was spoken to collaborate. Fast forward five years to 2014 and we find Raashan adding his distinctive vocals to “Ready Go”, the first new Fort Knox Five material we’ve heard in years.

Raashan Ahmad’s high-energy party rocking lyrics are the perfect match for Fort Knox Five’s distinctive funk stylings. The lyric “I live for the funk, I die for the funk, from the days of the Humpty Hump to the future” sums up this tune perfectly as it blends retro g-funk vibes from the West Coast with electronic dancefloor funk from the Nation’s Capital. True to form, Fort Knox Five incorporate horns and funky guitar lines throughout, so that “Ready Go” emerges as a disco-funk dance floor jam. Fort Knox Five got two of their favorite Vancouver-based producers to remix the track, Slynk and Neighbour. Slynk, originally from Australia, incorporates bass heavy glitch hop effects to create a blazing funk monster. Home Breakin’ Records own Neighbour takes the track in a different direction, the end result being a spandex-smooth indie disco banger.

This release is primed for the dancefloor, ranging in sounds from chunked out disco funk to glitch hop grooves and indie disco. This is the first single for Fort Knox Five’s forthcoming new album, due out in 2015. After spending the last few years concentrating on remixing other artists and showcasing the amazing talent on their label Fort Knox Recordings, the group has rechanneled their energy back to creating original material collaborating with a wide array of new guest vocalists.

Heart Is Wild

Jukestone Paradise is the third studio album from Pimps of Joytime out on Write Home Records, April 7th 2015

LYRICS:
close your eyes and drop your hair
and let your body pull you
something strange in the air
a blurry kinda cosmic truth  

we move from wrong to left to right and on
dance with tongues and tie our knees beyond
dance on the heart of the floor inside
your moving like a butterfly
grab my hand and we catch your vibe
this fire will electrify

CHORUS
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

(Horn Interlude)

Verse 2:
i cross my heart and i hope to die
y'all know why you better keep up
ya know what it is then you don't, and it ain’t
when you shoot me that lovers look

we move from wrong to left to right and on
dance on the heart  of the floor inside
this fire will electrify

CHORUS
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

(Horn Interlude)

Percussion Break

Oo’s

CHORUS x2
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

It has been 10 years since Fort Knox Five released their first singles, and this past decade has proven very fruitful for the funky foursome. 2003 saw the launch of both Fort Knox Five and their seminal Fort Knox Recordings imprint. To celebrate this milestone, Fort Knox Five have selected 15 of their favorite original tracks from the entire decade.

Fort Knox Five has had the pleasure of collaborating with some incredible vocalists who are well represented on this collection. Mustafa Akbar of Thunderball and Nappy Riddem is featured on several tracks, as are Rootz and Zeebo of See-I and Thievery Corporation. The Godfather of Electro Funk himself, Afrika Bambaataa is featured on two tracks. Asheru, best known for his Boondocks theme song is on the opening track. Thievery Corporation’s dancehall voice, Sleepy Wonder as well as DC’s own DIY legend Ian Svenonius are both featured. The list continues with former US3 front-man and prolific artist Akil Dasan and the Zulu Nation’s King Kamonzi. Rounding out the list of featured vocalists is Beta-G, on loan from the US Department of Bhangra.

This body of music not only spans 10 years of Fort Knox Five in the studio, but also live performances and dj appearances worldwide. This music has been performed and played for countless thousands of fans around the globe. These tunes have also been heard in such great movies as The Cove (2010 Academy Award Winner), Stand Up Guys and You Again as well as TV shows like The Fringe. No stranger to the wide world of video games, Fort Knox Five songs have appeared on Need For Speed: Shift, Skate It, NBA Live 10, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Dirt 3, Sims and others.

10 Years of Fort Knox Five shows the music diversity of the group with one foot firmly planted in funk. Reggae and dub can be heard clearly alongside hip-hop. The group is not afraid to break boundaries and delve into rock, swing and even bhangra in their musical explorations. This collection of music represents the last decade of Fort Knox Five’s musical growth and development.
