'It's been almost twelve months - to the day - since the last FKOF Records release (Roklem & Sebalo's brilliant FKxF EP in March 2023). As you may know, last year marked the closure of our first decade as an imprint, and we celebrated in true FatKidOnFire fashion, by having most of the year off. Not that we didn't get anything done - there were two FKOF weddings and a bunch of other awesome activity to focus on. With the new year now properly with us, we figured it was high time to get back on the wagon and get the new tunes rolling out the door. So here's FKOFd060. 'As ever, we've been testing a lot of upcoming FKOF Records material on the monthly FKOF Sessions on Subtle Radio - or the bi-monthly collab show on Radio Buena Vida with Kami-O. The tunes that have become FKOFd060 have featured across both shows for what feels like forever, alongside a whole host of other material from fellow US-based producers. The latest wave (we won't call it new, it's been going on for ages) of American dubstep producers are starting to feel like they're really finding their niche and we're stoked to bag four tunes (and a FKOF freebie) from Mikrodot, one of the wave's rising stars. 'Our 60th digital EP - FKOFd060 - once again beautifully visualised by our resident artiste Lal Yetki, kicks off with 'Girl from Twin Cities'. It's a sumptuous, smoky roller; all warm subs and floaty atmospherics. Next up, we've the slightly heavier 'Ember' - crisp percussive pressure and the wobblier vibes that hark back to Fabriclive.37. Track three, 'Enlightenment', strips things back to our beats, bass and space recipe and is a firm FKOF favourite. The final EP inclusion, 'Repressed', continues the wobblier themes found earlier in the release with more gunfinger-inspiring vibes. It's a fitting end to our latest American-made release on FKOF Records. 'We're 11 years into our journey as a record label, and we keep finding producers and material that continues to excite us. Our 60th digital release is a rowdy affair, and has been a labour of love between us and the artists (in ever sense) involved. We hope you enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed putting it together!'

The third instalment on HIJINX's imprint comes in the shape of three fresh hypnotic cuts for the dance where he further explores his more techy side. The EP kicks off with the title track 'Aeon', another high energy acid driven track with an interesting blend of drill and 4x4 influences in the percussion coupled with rolling 808's. The second track goes deeper with 'Beta', more pulsing 808's and progressive percussion make for a proper eyes down system rattler. 'Concentration' finishes off the EP with trancing arpeggios and instructions for the dance.
Combining system shattering futuristic beats with dystopian cerebral wordplay, PAV4N and Truth join forces on one of the biggest collab releases of the year with Brave New World EP - released on Truth's own imprint, Deep, Dark & Dangerous. Across four dynamic tracks, the Foreign Beggars don MC spits fire questioning existential threats to humanity's community spirit, ranging from AI, the hunt for instant gratification and war, permeating Truth's sub flexing synth-heavy productions. The eponymous title track starts as the EP means to go on, with the intro hook chanting 'while awake we're still in the dreamstate' over arpeggiated synths as UK hip hop meets atmospheric deep dubstep, with one of grime's hottest properties Saskilla switching in for a killer verse. Future punk banger Pythons comes in swinging next, with raw techno influences before the 140 drop slaps with PAV4N losing his shit as he fights a pit of serpents. Track three is the ice cold, eerie and razor sharp Online Overdose, as PAV4N dismantles our digital native trend-chasing society with additional production courtesy of New Zealand's fast-rising bass wizard Ashez. We go back to the future with the storming EP closer Pyrex Jackie, as 90s UK rave influences meld with intense dubstep for a weapon that is gonna go off wherever its loaded - with PAV4N's final firing shot 'sound the horn sound the siren, let the truth shake the silence, emancipate the violence'.

Kromey and Boka gunna be on fire this year so hold tight.

Ahead of the release of his second EP Fallen Tree, Dubrunner steps back into the fold with his new single 'Shangdao's Revenge'. Coming correct on his Menace label, he continues to shape out a vital, modernist slant on the soundsystem tradition. 'Shangdao's Revenge' is a monolithic, moody half-stepper electrified with dub techno chord shimmers and elastic breakbeats, and spaced out with deep wells of atmospheric processing. Operating from a firm foundation of steppas, dub and digi, once again Dubrunner folds broader club influences into his constructions to create a versatile sound that naturally ports the distinctive flavour of Jamaican music into other dancefloor contexts.

Ancient melodic echoes of the East meet the deep bass pockets of post-modern electronic composition.From the artists: "This musical journey arose out of a collaborative desire to make music that transcends borders.

Mah Ze Tar incorporates the Oud, Sitar, Saz, Ney, Duduk, and Persian vocal chanting over the cutting edge deep bass grooves created by Nahlith. These two artists come together to take us on a musical journey across time, space, and sacred sites.

Hes made his mark on the deep Dubstep sound very quickly, with releases on Duploc, Medicine, LDH, Nomine Sound, D-BLK, Cimmerian Records, FKOF, Prime Audio, WiddFam and SUB garden.Mah Ze Tar is a musical fusion project by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Maz Karandish.

Exploding like a tsunami from the depths of the ocean, Leviathan is the latest sub-shattering track from New Zealand's global bass behemoths, TRUTH. Released on their own Deep, Dark & Dangerous imprint, the track is the duo's most powerful dubstep banger to date, an iconic encapsulation of what the label stands for and an ode to the mythical sea-beast itself.

Scatty hats and auxiliary percussion encapsulate the choppy waters after the attack, as the deep bass continues to rumble. Maybe have a think next time you're considering going out to sea? Don't say you weren't warned.
There can be no doubt about it, when it comes to making speakers move, Leo Cap is something of a scientist; lurking around the Deep, Dark & Dangerous realms. Following a number of EPs and track features on DDD, 'Underground Business' is his debut full-length album. 11 slices of audio genius, the kind of tracks that make you question your very sanity when they drop. Leo Cap's style is well represented across this release, and as an album is the perfect showcase of his sound. One which is known for pushing the physical boundaries to which you can exert sound systems and speakers. Literally pushing insane amounts of air when these basslines drop. The album tells the story of Leo Cap the artist, creating beautiful things only to destroy and break them. Not only is the music a parallel for his life, it is also a form of armour, pieces collected from here and there. A protection from a paranoid existence in the dark and murky underground. This music is his kind of Undergound Business, 'it's really deep, it's really dark and it's really f**king dangerous man'. All the demons, all the darkness, and also all the fun. But there are no mistakes, this is how things are meant to be, life is is both dark and light, with music as it's abstraction. You can turn on the music and feel these things, this is real, this is Underground Business.
Strap in for another extra-terrestrial excursion as Shlump makes his much anticipated return to Deep, Dark & Dangerous following up the extremely successful Flying Saucer, Shaolin Shadowboxing and of course Alien Technology. Prepare to be sucked into the bass vortex with 'Zero Gravity', his brand new single. For this track you're going to want to stand front and centre before a massive bass-stack as the low end will literally suck the gravity out of the room, leaving you floating in a galaxy of interstellar bass waves. But beware, systems on full alert. because the tune's ridiculous second drop is about to slam you back down to Earth. Bass pressure levels are up, this track goes hard!
