FKOFd060 by Mikrodot
‘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. 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. Except it’s not, because we’ve also got a FKOF freebie from Mike to celebrate his debut with us. Some Coki-inspired madness. It bangs!
‘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!’
