'FKOF began as a blog in 2010, in part, as a way of profiling the artists I was meeting while going to dubstep nights in London during my time at university. One of the first shows I was going to on a regular basis was promoted by two low end enthusiasts from Torino in Italy. It was at Dark Side of London (DSOL) where I initially met Tony Content (when he was still playing out as Drama), Eddy Seven, Sai, the Fused Forces boys and a number of other producers and DJs who would go on to lay the foundations for what would become FKOF. It's safe to say that - without DSOL founders Paolo and Marco aka Dropfellas - we probably wouldn't be here today. 'The three of us reconnected in late 2024 when Paolo and Marco hit me up saying they were back in the studio working on new material. I even dug up an old flyer from the 2011 Easter bash (which has the FKOF logo on!) after moving house. We kept talking, Korrupt got involved on the A&R side of things when we got some demos, and things fell into place for what's dropping today. 'The 'Bowels' EP, 'FKOFd063' has been a labour of love for the four of us, and we're really stoked on how the music's ended up. The record spans four tunes that sit across the beats, bass and space ethos we've always worked with. Having been testing the record since we got the masters back from Beau 12 ish months ago, we can confirm all four bang. The more stripped back inclusions bring the pure bass weight earlier on the record and more of the stepper vibes close things out, with all evoking what Thursday nights at DSOL used to be like 15yrs or so ago on Shoreditch High Street. If we had to choose, however, the title track 'Bowels' is probably our pick of the bunch. 'FKOF has always been a bit of a family affair - when possible, working with our artists for years, and in some cases decades. We're delighted to continue the ethos with our 63rd outing on our digital imprint, welcoming Paolo and Marco back into the FKOF fam. Play the tunes loud, enjoy them, and hopefully see you in a DSOL x FKOF dance some day soon!'
