"Playin' with Fire ft. Emily Molloy"
by Fort Knox Five
FKX135 - Fort Knox Recordings

https://orcd.co/playinwithfire

The past year has given all of us a chance to reflect & regroup and Fort Knox Five has taken this time to cook up a fresh new slice of retro-soul tinged modern funk. On Playin' With Fire, FK5 have returned to the roots of their sound incorporating hip-hop beats, 70's horns and a stomping funky swagger. Blending the sweet soul vibe of Dusty Springfield and the rock and roll grit of Janice Joplin, Vancouver based vocalist, Emily Molloy brings her sultry vocals to the track. The result is a strutting, head bobbing groover oozing with summertime vibes.
 
Coming off a hot streak of remixing other artists, including the chart topping UK Hip-Hop hit with Ali B's Swing It, FK5 return to writing originals with the vintage soul meets hip hop vibe of Playin' with Fire featuring the powerhouse rock and blues vocals of Emily Molloy. A collaboration years in the making,

Emily and FK5 crossed paths many times on tour throughout Canada often playing shows in the same cities and, after years of talking about working together, they finally made it happen when they found themselves living in the same city during lockdown. Emily's dynamic vocals and lyrics were recorded first and inspired Steve and Rob to craft a classic soul funk anthem around them. Typical of FK5, the new track blends live instruments with electronic production chock full of funky guitars, flute, piano, modern synths and even a touch of fender Rhodes.

On Playin' with Fire, Steve Raskin and Rob Myers were forced to take a different approach to their usual songwriting, having to work remotely during the lockdown, with Steve living in Vancouver and Rob Myers holding it down in their home base of Washington, DC. Welcome to the next chapter of Fort Knox Five, where we see FK5 collaborating from afar and pushing the music forward into new terrain with a nod to the past. 

Playin' with Fire is a modern version of a classic 45 single, with Emily Molloy's soul meets rock'n'roll voice packing a punch on top of those funky FK5 beats. It's one of those ear-worm songs that gets stuck in your head and becomes the funky soundtrack of your whole day!

Daniel Brandt, co-founder of acclaimed German ensemble Brandt Brauer Frick, is set to release his second solo album via Erased Tapes on October 12th. Called 'Channels', the new record follows the release of the London and Berlin based producer’s solo debut Eternal Something from 2017.

The seven-track LP is Brandt’s biggest statement yet, with the album’s thrilling avant-garde framework interweaving chord-driven techno, orchestral flourishes, rich electronic textures and hints of dark cinematic pop. Following on from Eternal Something, which captured a contemplative kind of isolationism, with Channels Brandt set out to create an album that captures the essence of minimalism whilst lending it to a more playful context. 

Intricate floor-filler and lead track ‘Flamingo’ synthesises the measured pacing of Detroit techno with an orchestral background. As with all of the tracks on Channels, ‘Flamingo’ began life as a sketch with very basic instrumentation, before taking it into the studio to rehearse with his band members, giving the album a live and visceral sound that sets it apart from his debut; “It was a great experience to do it this way as I have always wanted to have the chance to try out something in a live setting before recording it in the studio and not the other way round,” explains Daniel. “The actual typical rock band recording style that I never had the chance to do before.”

With Brandt also being skilled as a filmmaker, directing and producing visuals for BBF and Eternal Something, much of the new album’s creative ideas reference a rich visual palette. He directed the video for ‘Flamingo’, a sideways glance at the art world that takes the concept behind John Cage’s 4’33” and turns it on its head. 

“The video for Flamingo is deliberately non performance — people sitting in a room and watching basically nothing, never really sure if anything is ever going to happen. It’s also a play on John Cage’s 4’33”, except in this instance there isn’t even a performer present.” — Daniel Brandt

Daniel’s passion for film even prompted him to kick start his own online television channel Strrr.tv in 2017 that since attracted a lot of attention with guest moderators including BBC Radio DJ Gilles Peterson, modular synth legend Suzanne Ciani and Berghain bouncer Sven Marquardt counting amongst the most popular episodes. 

Recorded between Berlin and London, Channels is a deeply enthralling listening experience, which sees Daniel Brandt build upon his distinctive percussive sound whilst exploring new and expansive horizons.

Praise for Daniel’s previous album, Eternal Something:
“Propulsive, tense, and entirely mesmerizing” 7.6 — Pitchfork
“An evocative ray of multi-instrumentalism” 9/10 — DJ Mag
“A fizz bomb of overlapping ideas” — Record Collector
“Utterly abstract and wholly melodic” — Clash
“A cracker”  — Electronic Sound

Roll into 2021 with some swagger and a hot batch of remixes “Party Beacon” by Qdup featuring Jerome Joyce. Party Beacon made it on to Juno Download's Best of 2020 Breakbeats, and is prime to be remixed. Qdup enlisted two of his favorite producers Beat Le Juice and the mighty Fort Knox Five for remix duty and both remixes are likely contenders to make it for Best of 2021!

First up we head across the globe to Poland's up and coming Funk and Bass producer Beat Le Juice to get his funky signature sound. Fans of the funk may be familiar with his tracks released on UK imprint Scour Records or his countless free downloads. That signature Beat Le Juice sound shines through with a boogie bass-line that dances effortlessly around funky chords. His remix is dripping with funk and even adds some extra talk box vocals to compliment Jerome’s party raps with style. Get ready for booty-shaking fun!!

Needing no introduction, label head honchos FK5 are continuing a string of fantastic remixes after their recent funky house reworking of “Good Gal Queen, Badmon Ting” by Average Citizens of Vancouver. Their remix pumps up the tempo, adds a 4 to the floor feel and goes full force on the disco vibes. The Party Beacon is shining brightly, so break out your funky dance moves and get down with the Fort Knox Five Remix.
