FKOF

@korrupt's review:
"Conscious Haze's 'Rusty River' opens with at atmosphere that immediately darkens any mood; this is a production that brings forth the evil side of mankind. A background filled with sinister characteristics mixes with natural-sounding drum hits, moving to spice up the track - as all the elements combine into one overwhelming sense of desolation…  

"The ever-evolving sounds become suffocating as the mix evolves, almost frightening to the utmost extreme. The manoeuvres lead the way could even remind the listener of the Russian producer Apatic; ghost-like frequencies that take over the mind. A creepy background vocal also adds a significant amount of emotion to the mix. This next-level production contains raw, chest-rattling low-end matched by interesting soundscapes to form the solid foundation of a tune that is beyond comprehension. Conscious Haze announcing themselves in the best way possible. Watch out!"

Conscious Haze - Rusty River [FKOF Free Download]

Korrupt's review:
"An metallic snare introduces 'Stardust', bringing in an aggressive drop that's full of interesting surprises. From stereo panning infused with serious delay to intense reverb that makes this a heavy breather in the dance to the samples that are well implemented by Cenum. 

"Raw, heavy low end prepares the listener for something rather magical. Heavy vinyl crackles emerge, resonating to the point that they’ll tickle and sooth the ear - while adding a heavenly touch to all elements in the higher region of the mix.

  "After the break, a different journey unfolds. New drum patterns and a painfully intense sub hit higher ground. This feeling is reinforced by mesmerising pads and choirs that will take the listener stratospheric. 'Stardust' is a unique and never ending story from CENUM; one listeners will want to repeat many, many times…"

We've featured the elusive CENUM before on FKOF; but the Iceland-based producer recently hit me up saying they were thinking of parting ways with production. We decided if it was to be a goodbye that we'd end it on a high...

CENUM - Stardust [FKOF Free Download]

Korrupt's review:
“HAACK opens his debut FKOF free download with an epic introduction; one that paralyses the listener through precisely delayed pads and intense panning. The horrific ambiance he creates hints at a merciless drop, backed by a solid collection of basslines that will hold the attention of the listener like a vice.

  “The eastern vocals grab at the eardrums, while frightening growls emanate impending threats. The growls' progression are truly outstanding, thanks, in part, to a gifted drum kit that is balanced out to perfection with every single element.

"HAACK’s approach is contagious, he's definitely caught our attention with this meticulous behemoth. Take note, this is a producer to be following!"

The FKOF review:
"The intro seems to manifest some form of incoming torment, slowly creating a growling and autonomous organism as the drop hits the chest. Christopher Yikes and Frenk Dublin's Slay Dem is characterised by heavily delayed textures that add a fair amount of detail to the production's resonance. 

"A subtle kick creates a pathway to destruction, supported by otherwise-minimal percussion and techy background noises. As second and final track of the duo’s FKOF EP, we can safely state that Slay Dem creates suitably murderous vibes to live up to its title!"

The FKOF review:
"The fast and loose 'Be Smart' contains a number of contagious dubstep flavours that'll tease the brain and get you wanting more. Teknian & ZeroZero have implemeted a huge library of samples that travel through a spacious frequency spectrum, converging into a futuristic bass experience. The duo spoil our synapses with quality bassweight, audial progression and an ingenious, collaborative dubstep sound. They've revealed a superb resonant sound and we're stoked to drop this one to celebrate 4M plays here on the FKOF SoundCloud..."

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review http://soundcloud.com/aikojones' 'Mystic':
"I'm in love with the soft layered pads coming in with the girl vox up top of the mix, adding a lot of depth and emotion. The delayed synth sits perfectly with those pads, it's got a very nice delay on it – sometimes implemented on a off-beat basis!

"The drop is hard – serious business, very poppy kick which is present nicely in the mix and works well with the snare. I would have added a little bit more reverb to the snare, but other than that it’s very snappy and armed with some slicing power. The low-end is armed with weight, its patterns give the track so much flow. Definitely well composed and placed underneath the percussion and drum patterns.

"The percussion sounds fresh and well implemented – and the drum patterns fit well with them too. The growls are sounding sick, great progression in them and they're mixed down properly, loads of variations implemented. They show that Aiko has great control on his basslines and such.

"It's nice that you can hear these choirs fade into the background, accompanied by great guitar riff sounds that flow in and out of the mix frequently. It's great how the girl vox from earlier in the track returns in the mix with that piano type of synth coming in gradually – really enthralling!

"The break sounds proper with some nice dark samples used to convey a mystical feeling. The second drop is sick as well, new growls have been developed that flow through the mix nicely. There's even a nice little switch-up in drum patterns and everything!

"Aiko showing what he’s made off with his ‘Mystic’ track! With well deserved releases on Vulcan Audio and Imperial Audio, it’s only a matter of time before we hear some new dark and dangerous bits from him! Keep an eye out on this man from Spain!"

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/conscious-haze 's 'For You':
"Conscious Haze use a very mysterical sounds to rule the intro of the track. I'm really feeling how you get sucked right into it through the force of the sounds used. Those happier tones coming into the mix aren't something I expected actually – but they worked great together. There's a nice little climatic build up right before the drop there. 

"The drop sounds great: the kick comes into the mix cleanly and the snare sounds nicely layered. I do miss a little reverb on the snare that comes at the end of every couple bars though. The low-end sounds quite warm and flows freely underneath the mix, giving me some goosebumps on the way – well played. The different samples involved sound quite 'fresh' and come back into the mix at different intervals, nice implementation and use of them. Fading in the happy tones back into the mix is a nice move, letting them rule the break. 

"The second drop is sick, it's amazing how those growls come into the mix – I was literally waiting on those to jump into this piece. They sound quite organic, appearing at different intervals, giving this track an extra dark twist which it deserves – nice tonal differences. I've heard great progression within the track, especially when you reach the end of the track as it gets broken down element for element. A serious production by Conscious Haze, this promises some nice material for the future, keep an eye out!"

FatKidOnFire & Beezy present The Winter Sun Mix

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/artroniks ' 'Control':
“ARtroniks applies reverb to the soundscapes in the background of ‘Boundless’, adding good space to the mix. A resonating bassline and a diverse and ‘Eastern-sounding’ pad set in and then disappear with the percussion. ARtroniks gives the tune space to fulfill the climax and  leads into the first drop...

 “The drop is enthralling, where sample-use plays an important role in giving ‘Boundless’ a special ‘soul’. A diverse spectrum of elements are involved and the low-end rolls nicely in the sub area of the mix. The mid-range comes fully forward as well – what a mixdown! A poppy kick and a snappy snare combine with a constantly changing percussion to sound really striking.   

“The soundscapes slow into the break – which then builds up into the second drop. ‘Boundless’ develops until the percussion disappears,  while the rest of the elements slowly degrade and the beautiful pads disappear into nothingness. 

“ARtroniks doesn’t seem to have any boundaries on what he produces; this is one of those tunes that can easily fit in any tracklist!”

It's been a while since we had the privilege of giving away three consistently brilliant tunes - even longer since we heard anything from Gent's http://soundcloud.com/artroniks.

ARtroniks - Boundless [FKOF free download]

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/artroniks ' 'Control':
“The keys at the beginning of ‘Control’ act as the ‘peaceful’ lead of the tune. It develops as minimal percussive elements add to an amazing build up. The choirs in the background sound deep giving  this tune extra beauty - it’s as if the mix is breathing – becoming its own entity.  

  “The drop is hard yet quite subtle thanks to the beautiful keys used, while the pounding kick and the massive snappy snare leave a serious statement. ARtroniks has applied different effects on elements throughout the tune. For example, on the percussion: there’s a perfect panned delay right after the impact of the snare, placed in a very intelligent way but without becoming repetitive. The growly basslines move freely within the mid-range of the mix, and the low-end radiates full weight in every present bar of the tune. Note the shaker present in the right moments: adding a lot to the pace of the tune while the percussion comes through in a minimal fashion.  

“While the growls continue to take form, glitchy sounds hit the mix right before ARtroniks heads into the break. The break is a great moment for reflection, right before the enormous enormous second drop. The second drop brings a constant amount of pressure and every element gets the chance to developing and reach a climax. The elements fade out slowly, while the lead from the start is the last spark of energy left!”

Justify x FatKidOnFire mix (January 2013)

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/gutcha 's 'Blood Diamond':
“This is one of those intros that takes the unaware listener into a new realm, where only evil forces rule. Gutcha’s musical composition is flawless here; the diversity of the samples used is amazingly wide. From mesmerizing pads, to a woman’s voice that takes control of the listener’s nervous system, Gutcha has truly created a monster!  

“The drop contains an enormous amount of weight, giving ‘Blood Diamond’ unparalleled force in the dance. The percussion is another high point, adding to the hypnotising vibe Gutcha creates. The number of different rhythms implemented, reinforced by the tactical soundscapes moving in the background, arguably make this tune one of Gutcha’s finest productions. A snare slowly fades in, bringing the listener some form of respite... 

  “The break is well constructed; a pounding heart in the background gives ‘Blood Diamond’ an organic feel. As new drum patterns close in around the listener, Gutcha aims straight for the kill and releases the chains to unleash this beast once more. The reeses are a great destructive force as are the powerful chords - making ‘Blood Diamond’ near enough immortal. This is a spotless production from Gutcha. The man that made this is bloody insane; giving this out for free is just too much!”  

This one's to say thank you for the 'Best Website' nomination in the 2013 Dubstepforum Awards. Love and thanks to each and every one of you who's nominated and now voted!

soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/filik 's 'Layers':
“The ‘layers’ of sinister soundscapes are one of the main strengths of this mix. They not only create a certain texture, but also give this track a completely different dimension. While heavy distorted and resonating basslines pass the listener’s eardrums, the ghost-like samples aim straight for the heart, preparing the listener for a big impact...  

“The first drop leaves creates some serious debris, through both the well-balanced mid- and low-ends. The kick pops nicely while the snare smashes the listener’s eardrums from one side to another. The massive low-end feels warm, but adds a frightening effect to the whole piece – excellent work from FJH! The one growl implemented has this distinctive tone that causes hairs to stand straight up. For the most part repetitive drum patterns controls the mix, with great panning effects added on top to widen the earlier mentioned dimensions.  

“The break shows some great development and the second drop hits even harder than the first. While the samples return in the mix, FJH is already working towards an ending with emotive keys that start to set in. ‘Layers’ sounds like an evolving organism, it’s hard to really define it – a truly powerful tune. The tune’s last breath is a vocal sample that combines with the haunting samples from earlier in the mix. These elements complete a tune that’s definitely for the real deepheads out there, enjoy!”

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review of http://soundcloud.com/darjeelingz 's 'Circles':
“The atmospheric elements present in the intro really prepare the listener for this tune’s potential: a wide range of vinyl crackles, ghost-like whispers, an epic war drum. Darj makes excellent use of delay to enhance the amount of deepness expressed from the inner core, where glitch elements are implemented to add much to the contagious vibe already established.  

“The first drop can be described as one with a great deal of energy; spreading like a mystical virus in just a split-second after impact. The force that comes off the low-end is gigantic, accompanied by a solid kick and snare that make this tune yet another impeccable piece by Darj. The growls that fade in and out of the mix cover a wide mid-range, slicing the mix apart with no remorse whatsoever. As Darj’s boundaries are still undefined, he continues to add strange constructive percussive elements, building towards the fully developed ‘Circles’.  

“The break is short but very effective. As identical as it may sound to the intro of the mix, it has a slightly different purpose. This bridge to the second drop is everything Darj needs to build up to another climax, again leaving his signature on this tune. Containing a library of samples, all forming one complete story, ‘Circles’ is definitely a tune that can be rinsed out in any deep set. As Darj continues to push forward with productions like this, where flow and definite impact is assured, he’s definitely one to watch out for in 2013.”

It's been a while since we heard from France's http://soundcloud.com/darjeelingz, so here's his latest FKOF free download - the truly brilliant 'Circles'.

Darj - Circles [FKOF Free Download]

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review:
"A resonating pad unfolds: a sweeping and scraping growl sneaks into the mix, hinting at complete destruction when the ‘distant cry’ becomes more apparent. The first 54 seconds of the mix are already flawless; the way its constructed is simply brilliant. Deafblind and Mesck are coming in with serious pressure – hold tight!  

  "The first drop is breath-taking: the lead is an constantly morphing organism, with a lot of emotion compressed into the background (thanks to the intense pad returning to the mix). The resonance of the reese/growl is beyond the level of normality: tearing into the listener's eardrums like no other. With the low-end, a perfect balanced kick-snare and the impeccable soundscapes, this is truly a collaboration to behold.   

"As the break commences, the fade out gives the elements some space to evolve into a higher state. The sweeping lead comes back in, slowly becoming more and more aggressive. The delay applied on certain elements really widens the stereo image, while the reverb on certain elements is also nicely applied. Although this was Deafblind & Mesck's first tune together, they outdid themselves with this one. An amazingly packed tune full of crisp percussion, mesmerising soundscapes and serious basslines."

http://soundcloud.com/deafblind hit me up earlier this year and said:
'Zach and I were talking this weekend and we decided we'd like to do a FKOF giveaway of 'Distant Cry'. It was our first collab learning the ropes so to speak.' Here we are, a few months later with the first Deafblind/ http://soundcloud.com/mesck collab - and what a tune it is...

Deafblind & Mesck - Distant Cry [FKOF Free Download]

http://soundcloud.com/Korrupt 's review of 'Simplicity':
"The soothing characteristic of the female vocal sample is accompanied by the male sample, leaving a mixed but powerfully mystical message on the listener. This seems to be one of the strengths of this top-notch production. The soundscapes, along with the freshly implemented reverb and the heavy snare, give this introduction a fluid shape - something formless.

"With a deep and impactful drop, Formless continues to create the illusion of deep and empty space, keeping the listener far from reality. The definition of ‘simplicity’ could easily be hidden far inside this roller, where near-solid drum patterns continue to roll over the listener. Vibrant low end adds much to this simply complex sound, as Formless reminds you he always delivers deep, next-level productions you can get lost in."

"Formless never ceases to amaze. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest FKOF EPs we’ve featured in our 3+ years of existence. The three tracks on the EP are diverse, but consistently maintain the Formless sound. Watch out for the Formless in 2013, this is his year."

Formless - Simplicity [FKOF Free Download]

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review:
"SYZ' 'Esoteric' opens with striking percussion and an immensely poppy kick that collectively hint at a destructive production. The growls give the listener a taste of what kind of mid-range they'll be dealing with deeper into the tune. SYZ sucks the listener right into the track with his flawless soundscapes; which are positioned in the deep and dark end of the spectrum.   

"While the drop pounds and echoes through the mind, SYZ’ excellent delay timing and sharp manoeuvres really give this track its unique character. He continues to amaze as the different percussive elements cross paths with the cutting mid-ranges, layered in a very intuitive way. Most of these patterns sound organic and are actually pretty unique – solid madness! 

"The dark and aggressive vibrations hit the listener's chest plate, announcing the stomping second drop. Hearing this tune on a rig for the first time confirmed our suspicions; serious bass weight on all fronts. One guaranteed to get the rewind in the dance!   “After hearing this on Distance’s Rinse FM show, we had to give this underrated producer and his mad tune a home here on FKOF. Getting this FKOF free download going was worth the wait – SYZ is definitely raising the bar!”

Heard this via Distance early last year and have been looking forward to hearing it again since. Korrupt hit me up a few weeks back with a little surprise and here we are; WAV and 320 FKOF free downloads from Brighton's http://soundcloud.com/syzmusic!

SYZ - Esoteric [FKOF Free Download]

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review:
"This bass-enriched production, with all these different basslines and wobbles, lead the listener through the mix on a smooth and memorable journey. The stereo image portrayed is wide and serves its purpose, locking the listener on target.

"The high-pitched pad really touches the soul, as the intricate melodies locking the listener's attention. A perfect balance between the kick and snare gives this beautiful production a solid foundation, everything fits together perfectly. From deep, sub-driven low end to ridiculous elements that continue to reappear without any obstructions ahead, KOROstyle's 'The Truth VIP' is straight ridiculous.

"The second drop leads the way to a much deeper realm; the flow is just as overwhelming as the rest of all the elements and techniques involved – what a master craft this is. Dropping this on a big sound system will definitely tear up the dancefloor! Watch out for KOROstyle in the near future - we'll be hearing more from this guy!"

KOROstyle - The Truth VIP [FKOF Free Download]

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review:
"This recreation of Mishva's 'Civilization' is top-notch remix. Let's get that out of the way! ARtroniks, one of Belgium's finest producers, reworks the synths to a different pitch, while pre-delayed hats lead the listener through the intro before the track unfolds. The resonating reeses mix with the vocals with a distinctly ARtroniks flavour, while the original atmosphere of Mishva's production is maintained.

  "The beauty of ARtronik's remix is matched by its destructive force. His intelligent sample expertise has become almost flawless this year, and ARtroniks proves this once again throughout the way the mix at the end stands out. It's no surprise that this version of Mishva's 'Civilization' is part of this insane compilation; it's an astounding piece of work."
