For the past decade, Mad Decent has been invading your ears with fresh sounds. With humble beginnings in Diplo’s Philadelphia studio, Mad Decent’s unwavering mission is to highlight underground, genre-blurring sounds. Mad Decent tops iTunes, Beatport and Shazam charts worldwide with #1 Dance tracks and albums with releases from artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Grandtheft, Party Favor, NGHTMRE and Yellow Claw. Mad Decent is also home to Good Enuff, a launchpad for artists breaking the norm; notable releases include Bauuer’s “Harlem Shake” and DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine.” As an extension of the Mad Decent sound, Mad Decent Block Party was established in 2006 and now spans across North America and India.

Some seriously funky groups come in Five’s - The Jackson 5, The MC 5, Jurassic 5… and of course Fort Knox Five.

Fort Knox Five is known for bending genres and using a broad range of musical elements in their creation of highly original music. This approach ultimately pioneered a funky scene where FK5 continues to top charts today.

Forget about tempos and genres, let Fort Knox Five take you on a musical journey that unites the funk, soul, jazz, hip hop and electronic generations.

AM444 is a music duo conceived in Shanghai by Chinese underground star singer @yehaiyahan (Kode9/Spaceape, Jimi Tenor, The Bug, RSD, RBMA'11 etc) and Dutch producer/musician/dj @jay-soul (Justo the Mc, Mr.Windmill, Corey, NineFifty, etc).

S O U N D S   L I K E ?
AM444 sounds like Sevdaliza's Chinese niece hanging out with the Dutch step brother of J Dilla, or Little Dragon and Kaytranada going on a nocturnal boat ride while Facetiming with FKA Twigs.

YEHAIYAHAN's moody and dreamy vocals in Mandarin, delivered with tons of heartfelt emotion, crossbreed effortlessly with Jay.Soul's jazzy hip-hop, funk, and electronica infused beats.

AM444's music is eclectic and increasingly hard to classify, but strangely familiar and accessible to all. 

O N T H E R O A D
With multiple tours in China, including one as support act for French music icon -M-, several mini tours in France, plus shows in Finland, Russia, Holland and Reunion Island (Africa), AM444 is steadily building a solid live reputation for themselves.

"The duo creates an incredible global feel, sampling sounds far beyond the borders of China or America. AM444 brazenly emit a dynamic avant-garde underground feel." (thewildmagazine.com)

"AM444 make head-nodders for spaceships. They are undoubtedly one of the Chinese underground’s most exportable products. It’s only a matter of time before this rocket blasts off (..) The sound is, at alternating intervals, dark, hopeful, funky, tranced-out, beautiful, foreboding, buoyant, and back to dark and funky. It’s the drug equivalent of smoking opium, then taking a hit off a crack pipe, and following that up with some downers and a six-pack of Red Bull." (layabozi.com)

"Jay and ChaCha are two talented individuals at the top of their game, making music that reflects a vast palette of influences in a new and original way." (shanghai247.net)
