George Clinton's nephew Sa'd 'The Hourchild' Ali (Sa'D Ali) and Chuck ‘Da Fonk’ Fishman met in the mid-’90s as touring members of George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. With the addition of 8-time Grammy-nominated producer G Koop the trio became FSQ, a production team committed to creating original funk of supreme quality.

In the years to follow, Boston-based guitarist Chas Bronz, Philadelphia drummer One Era, and New York audio engineer Morgan Wiley joined FSQ. You’ll find the majority of their original songs and remixes on Soul Clap Records along with FSQ’s 2020 Reprise Tonight - the group’s debut LP. Presented as a tale of having one last party in the span of 24 hours,  features guest appearances from funk royalty, including George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, Nona Hendryx, Fonda Rae, Denise King, and Dolette McDonald. In 2022, FSQ released a funked-up remix album for their debut record, aptly titled Reprise Reprise Tonight. This jam-packed album features 16 remix turns on the OG cuts by Tom Moulton, Ray Mang, Birdee, DJ Rocca, Lee Curtiss + more.

“A veritable treasure chest of danceable grooves and memorable songs, Reprise Tonight showcases FSQ’s gift for upbeat, easy-digestible funk.” — John Morrison, Bandcamp

FSQ releases with Midnight Riot Records, Ultra Music, Boogie Angst, Jalapeno Records, Wolf + Lamb, Bastard Jazz + more indie dance music leaders. FSQ’s remixes for Soul Clap, Kraak & Smaak, Life on Planets, Midnight Magic, Inkswel + Nick Monaco
