FKOF Promo!

We're back to premierin'...

@s0lidonline, the dubstep side project of Istanbul-based techno mastermind @ozbekdj, delivers a masterclass in low-end engineering, pushing sub-bass manipulation to its absolute limits.

Manifesto is a relentless showcase of raw power and precision, built on crushing percussion, mind-bending system dynamics, and bassweight designed to shake foundations. Each track is a statement: bold, unfiltered, and built for the heaviest sound systems.

Formerly known as Mark IV, this Turkish producer is carving his path into the global scene with unstoppable momentum. Keep an eye on him, as at this rate, it won’t be long before the biggest labels come calling for these Turkish delights.

FKOF Promo!

It's been a minute. It's been even longer for this record - our first in 3 years. 

Well, this weekend is FatKidOnFire's 15th birthday. So here we are, with the long-awaited 9th instalment to our physical imprint - and the first to feature TRAKA & Rider Shafique, and the latest to welcome Oddkut back to the FKOF Records family... 

FKOFv009 is available for pre-order now (just hit the buy link), and drops on general release 25th April. Watch out for lots more coming around this EP over the coming weeks/ months - guest mix, remixes and more. Thanks for all your support over the last 15years, hope we can celebrate the birthday suitably over the rest of 2025 <3 

A1. TRAKA ft. Rider Shafique - So (Original Mix)
 A2. TRAKA - Shock Em Up (Original Mix)
 B1. TRAKA - Silus (Original Mix) 
B2. TRAKA ft. Oddkut - Shake Junt (Original Mix)

“The ninth outing on FKOF Records’ physical imprint opens with the anthemic voice of Rider Shafique joining forces with TRAKA for ‘So'. Hard-hitting truths, juddering percussion and a rolling low end so solid you can almost chew on it. Keep fighting and rise.

“Next up, we ratchet things up a notch with ‘Shock Em Up’. It’s an absolute unit of a tune, and when we get asked for what we mean by beats, bass and space this is our 2025 example. Effective heavyweight sonic warfare. 

“FKOF009’s B-side opens with ‘Silus' – continuing along the foundations TRAKA laid on the A-side. Suffocating power, engaging atmospherics and a vibe that works at peak time on the dancefloor as well as it does opening or closing out the graveyard slot.

“We close out the record welcoming Oddkut back for his latest outing on FKOF Records with the TRAKA collab ‘Shake Junt’. It twists and turns through its first drop, before taking a completely new direction in the break. It’s an absolute groove and one that’s been a firm favourite for as long as it’s been in the bag.”

Traka ft. Rider Shafique & Oddkut - Armatura EP [FKOFV009; FKOF Promo]

FKOF Promo!

We’re hyped to premiere a serious heavyweight: the legendary @distance steps up for his debut on @artikal-music-uk with a monstrous remix of Darkai & Ears' ‘Gems’. His 'Souljah' flip hits hard, a pure nod to the roots with old-school breakstep energy, fused with Distance’s unmistakable, razor-sharp 2025 production.

Our FKOF fam @darkai already dropped a bomb, but Distance injects a whole new level of raw power into it. Big energy, big weigh. This remix is absolutely essential to rinse in any sweaty basement.

'ARTKL074RE' is out now (25/04/2025) across all familiar platforms. Hit the buy link and show some love for Distance, Wraz, and the mighty Artikal Musik UK!

FKOF Promo!

It’s been over fifteen years since we launched FKOF, and we're not far off celebrating FKOF Records' – our physical and digital imprint – fifteenth birthday, too. Although we've slowed our release cadence from the monthly efforts of our heyday, we're still here and still working with impeccable musicians. Even if we say so ourselves – and if you don't believe us, we'll let FKOFd061 do the talking…

FKOFd061 is available via our bandcamp rn, from 25/07/25 onwards. It's then available at Beatport two weeks after, 08/08/24, and on general release two weeks after that, 22/08/25.

1. Atsuko - We're Different
2. Atsuko - So
3. Atsuko - Those Who Seek
4. Atsuko - So (S0LID remix)

‘The early to mid 2010s were golden years for experimental 140bpm material. It was the era dubstep had established itself, and was evolving into the multi-layered, all-encompassing genre it continues to be today. 2013 also saw both FatKidOnFire (with our FKOF Free Downloads and FKOF mixes) and the nascent FKOF Records start to find their groove. As is often the case, some decade plus later, we're still finding the music that excited us all those years ago. So much so, we've tapped a producer we've had in the extended FKOF fam for our first digital outing in over a year...

‘FKOFd061 formally welcomes Atsuko to the FKOF Records family after his debut 'FKOF' EP all those years ago (and, ICYMI, you can grab the free downloads in the links below). We're also stoked to welcome the sonic troublemaker S0LID to the record with one of the weightiest remixes we've had the pleasure of homing. Much like the tunes that first caught our attention in the 2010s, Atsuko's continued to hone his sound and provides ample summary of why we rate him with his release. 'We're Different' stutters into consciousness with chopped vocal samples, crisp percussive power and a real groove. Track two, 'So', dials up the low end and has soundtracked many a nighttime journey since we signed it. Lovely stuff. 'Those Who Seek' strips things back to the basics with its seamless beats, bass and space approach. Not to be outdone, S0LID joins proceedings with his 'So' remix as EP closer. It's a monster. Not much else to say! 
‘We've rated Atsuko since we first discovered him in 2012/13. Stoked to pull a record together, and have S0LID involved as well. We hope you rate the tunes, we do!'

FKOF Premiere!

Back at it again with the latest EP from our friends from Brno; @semfree - and our 250th FKOF Premiere! This time we've a heavyweight tune featuring the sounds of @seekidentification and @korode, featuring vocals from Ethics. 

'Six Feet Deep' and 'Depth Charge' on the flip drop this coming Friday, 01/08/25. Hit the buy link to pre-order from the label's bandcamp shortly.

"'Six Feet Deep' pairs seek:id and Korode’s rhythmic tension and bassweight with a vocal feature from Ethics, whose bars cut through the mix with focus and intent. The track blends minimal drums, sub pressure, and dark atmosphere. 'Depth Charge' sees seek:id go solo—low-slung and spacious, with gritty mids and rolling percussion. Drawing from South London influence, the release sits in the deeper end of dubstep, tuned for sound system play."

@inner_echo_uk join forces with @echoplex-records with 'Higher Ground', a powerful  journey featuring the voice of Scottish vocalist Wends. 

'Higher Ground', a version and the dub reworks from High Nebra drop via all good digital retailers 22/09/25. Hit the buy link to pre-order from the EchoPlex bandcamp. For the fans of physical formats there are x2 Dub cuts from High Nebra that are exclusive to the bandcamp, and the label's  also running a limited polyvinyl lathe cut - again on their bandcamp.

"'Higher Ground' builds around a deep sub bass foundation and richly-layered instrumentation. Wends delivers both a soaring, heartfelt chorus and a rhythmic, fast-paced verse, a blend of soulful vocal and sharp MC delivery that speaks to her unique style and presence on the mic. This is a song with weight, built to connect on a deeper level, whether you are locked in on headphones or at the front of a dance."

@admperth aren't hanging about with their latest LP - tapping 11 artists for an absolute unit of a VA comp. You can get a taster of the release in this FKOF Promo, and then head straight to the imprint's bandcamp to pre-order before it drops 12/09/25. 

The release then surfaces via all other digital retailers 26/09/25. 

Track list:

1. Clearlight - Cavern Sound
2. Split - Fever Mood (Khromi Remix)
3. Mikrodot - Monastery
4. Tetrad - Wyatt
5. Boneless - Sutures
6. Repulsion - VRR
7. Buex & No Compli - Ghosts Of Spice
8. Intertia - Nobody
9. Split - Outcry
10. NRB - Wide Open

"ADM Selections is back to deliver some heavy hitting tracks by artists you may or may not be familiar with from all across the globe.

"Opening the LP, we welcome Clearlight to the label with the track "Cavern Sound." With almost tribal-like vibes, a haunting atmosphere and drums that take you on a journey. Khromi's remix of "Fever Mood" is smooth, jazzy and infused with his own style. Mikrodot's Monastery paves the way into deep sub driven vibes with Tetrad and newcomer, Boneless carrying the vibe into darker and deeper territory. Repulsion's "VRR" takes the mood of the compilation into darker territory as it flips between breakbeats and minimalist influences. Newcomers Buex & No Compli balance floaty textures of atmosphere with jungle influenced breakbeats in their track "Ghosts Of Spice". While Inertia changes the direction of the album with his track "Nobody" featuring a massive, thick reverberating subline with a distorted Reese, it segues nicely into the album closing tracks by Split and NRB finishing out the album on a more aggressive and heavy feeling. This album explores the broad sound on After Dark Music."

Hit the buy link to grab the 'The Remixes' EP from SIP from today - 05/09/25.

"Three producers coming from different corners of the planet who connected via previous releases on our label started forming friendships and nurturing inspiration, which grew into this project where each producer remixes a track from the other two resulting in 2 remixes per artist.
