FKOF Promo!

2023 marks FKOF Records’ 10th year as an imprint, and we’re pretty proud of our track record over the last decade. We’ve seen some of 140bpm’s rising stars – Chokez, Argo, Causa, Kodama, Ourman, 11th Hour, WZ to name a few – announce their talents to the genre and then go on to establish themselves as world-recognised talent. Not to rest (too much) on our laurels, but we think the artist behind FKOFd059’s EP might just follow that trajectory…

FKOFd059 is available to pre-order and drops via our bandcamp 02/12/22. It's then available at Beatport the Friday after, and on general release two weeks after that.

1. Darkai - Ox
2. Darkai - Deus
3. Darkai - Danger
4. Darkai - Swamps
5. Darkai - Loud Voices [FKOFd059 Free Download]

‘If you’ve caught the FKOF Sessions show on SWU FM (RIP) or Subtle Radio throughout 2022, you’ll have heard a track played on an almost month basis. For those that know their classical music, you’ll maybe have recognised a nifty flip of Allegri’s 'Miserere' – taking the goosebump-inducing material down a darker path. The genius behind that tune, 'Deus', is Matt Darkai. At this point, we can’t not give uncle N-Type a shout out, because it was through Wheel & Deal and Darkai’s 'Immortal' EP we discovered Matt’s talents. We talked tunes at the start of this year, Matt sent us some dubs, and the rest is history. 

‘FKOFd059 kicks off with 'Ox' (suitably visualised on the EP cover by the wonderful Lal Yetki), all cavernous atmospherics and sub pressure. The second inclusion is the aforementioned 'Deus', which you’ll either have heard already or you’ll very quickly understand why it’s one of this year’s tunes for us. Next up we have the suitably-named 'Danger', all wobbly synths and main-room 2am madness. It’s a lot. Last, but definitely not least, we end with 'Swamps'. It settles things down into a deeper groove, all growls and crisp percussion. The second drop’s a lot, as well. To round things out, because it’s the end of the year and we like celebrating, we’ve also included a FKOF Free Download alongside the EP – Matt’s 'Loud Voices' bootleg, reworking another classic with his signature brooding twist.  

‘We think Matt Darkai’s a perfect addition to the FKOF Records family and sound –  beats, bass and space through and through. He’s released on a bunch of decent labels to date, so we’re delighted to welcome him to ours, and we know this track record will continue. Watch this space.’

The Vinyl Vigilance label head Kemist shares with us two of his productions. Both tracks are exploring the darkest corners of the dubstep genre. Terrifier merges the hardcore sound with dubstep. The Funhouse is an interesting experiment to create the atmosphere of horror movies with the classic elements of dubstep.

Hegemonic (Aviary EP)

We welcome DJ Chimera to the NWSC roster with our 19th release, and it's titled "Fauno". DJ Chimera describes this release as such:

"Fauno" is the Spanish term for a faun, a mythical creature from Greek mythology that is part human and part goat. 

According to some tales, the faun experienced a series of transformations, oscillating between its human and goat forms before eventually becoming "Faceless".  

During this phase, the creature heard "Voices" and lived its remaining life in agony."

Releases June 12th at Bandcamp and all digital music outlets

Nomine Sound is thrilled to present the “Truancy EP,” the latest release by Virginia-based dubstep producer No Remorse, featuring a banging collaboration with AXH. Known for his relentless energy and innovative approach, No Remorse has garnered support from industry heavyweights like Truth, JSparrow, The Widdler, Wraz, and Khiva, and has left his mark on prominent labels such as Deep Dark & Dangerous, Macabre Unit Digital, and Heavy Traffic Recordings. This EP showcases his signature deep, dark, and hypnotic sound each track on this EP consists of weaving solid rhythms with bone-rattling bass, made for the sound system. AXH, far from a newcomer to the underground bass scene, a low-end don with releases on labels such as Tempa and GourmetBeats, brings his unique touch to the collaboration on "Truancy," adding a new dimension to No Remorse's already formidable style. The “Truancy EP" is a testament to the raw power and creative synergy within the dubstep community, promising to captivate both new listeners and long-time fans.
