We are back with a new episode of Sidestage Radio ft. a very special guestmix from our friend ArkZen!

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Noah McDonald, better known as ArkZen, is an up and coming producer and DJ known for his unique take and style on proper dubstep and bouncy garage beats. He has been producing original music for more than 3 years, and is starting to gain attention from the scene's finest. His debut dubstep EP “Singular / Just Can't See” has garnered support from the likes of PEEKABOO, Wraz, Chef Boyarbeatz, Lavier, and Jabbs, and his recent year-closer EP “Hold Me / Close 2 U” demonstrates the flexibility and range of his sound.  ArkZen’s ever-evolving production captivates the emotions of listeners both on and off the dancefloor and regardless of the forms it takes you can be sure it will be unapologetically proper.

ChefWamp Live at The Black Box 08.04.23 CMS Takeover (Mountain Standard Mix)

FKOF Promo! 

We’re back with the latest FatKidOnFire Records release (a heater even if we say so ourselves), just in time for the end of 2025 and the start of a few new outings for the imprint. We’ve three or four digital releases in the bag or at mastering, so you might be hearing more from us and the FKOF fam in the near future. But before we get ahead of ourselves, here’s FKOFd062…

The 'Railgun' EP is available via our bandcamp for pre-order now, and drops 12/12/25. It's then available at Beatport two weeks after, 26/12/25, and goes on general release two weeks after that.

1. OTTO & SAIBOD (ZYCH) - Michael Craw
 2. OTTO & SAIBOD (ZYCH) - Perleberg 
3. OTTO & SAIBOD (ZYCH) - Railgun 
4. OTTO & SAIBOD (ZYCH) - Conclusion Y 
5. OTTO & SAIBOD (ZYCH) - Conclusion X [FKOFd062 Free Download]

'FKOF (when it started to solely focus on 140bpm in the early 2010s) was designed to champion new talent - creating a platform (& what is now FKOF Records some 15 years later) to help up-and-coming producers monetise their material. In our heyday, we were releasing EPs every month - often off the back of a fairly quick gut reaction on receiving demos. Did the material fit FKOF; was it pure beats, bass and space vibes? Here we are in 2025, still doing the same thing. And we're welcoming two nascent 140 artists to the family with a decent flag in the sand for why you should get to know the Berlin-based duo...

'OTTO & SAIBOD joined forces a while ago under the ZYCH moniker to release on labels like Locus Sound, TooMuchCollective and more. When we somehow ended up on their dubs mailer, a few tunes caught our collective ear and here (as it often goes) we are a few months later with an EP. 'FKOFd062' opens with 'Michael Craw', laying the foundations of what comes throughout the record. Sparsely built, but well furnished, tunes with crisp percussion, heavyweight sub behaviour and eyes down, fingers up atmospheres. Track two, 'Perleberg', clatters about with its locomotive synths and takes it up a notch. Things really kick off with 'Railgun', however, and it's unsurprisingly the tune we wanted first (and built the rest of the EP around). Sonic warfare, with a FKOF Records logo on it. We close the EP out with 'Conclusion Y' - which is joined by FKOFd062 Free Download (grab on our band camp) 'Conclusion X' - ending on a ZYCH-induced high. We rate this duo and we think you should, too.  

'Sometimes, things just come together nice and simple. 'FKOFd062' is a record that's done exactly that. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. And get to know OTTO, SAIBOD and ZYCH. Big things coming from them!'
