Interview #104 – XCVB x FatKidOnFire

Interview #104 - XCVB x FatKidOnFire

The independent fashion market in the UK is going strong – as strong (if not more) as it was when I first started supporting brands here on FatKidOnFire a few years back. Tonight’s brand have been going for just over a year and given they’ve just celebrated birthday #1, it’s about time they got featured here on FKOF… Sheffield’s XCVB have been going strong over the passed 12 months, starting with the usual tees and then moving onto sweats, headwear, sweats … more →

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #111- Subverse

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #111- Subverse

The MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire feature series has long been known for supporting the deep and dark sounds of dubstep – but there are occasionally times when we discover artists who are so good we feel they deserve a mention. Brighton and London’s Subverse is one of those artists. Nick emailed me back at the beginning of March with his Bandcamp link (where he’s giving away a few of his awesome remixes/ releases) – but I first discovered him through his … more →

Out and About this weekend…

Out and About this weekend...

It’s been a while since the last Out and About post here on FatKidOnFire – in part because I’ve been slacking and also because, well. I’ve not been out much recently. JayPerspective recently hit me up with the following flyer (with FKOF fam rssk on it no less!) along with an accompanying mix. Jay and the rest of the derb team have been pushing the deep 140bpm sounds around Nottingham’s venues for a while now: We’ve been running nights and … more →

Interview #103 – Kulez x FatKidOnFire

Interview #103 - Kulez x FatKidOnFire

It’s been a pretty long minute since a hip-hop artist (other than Malkovich Music back at #90) featured here on FatKidOnFire – the MakeItGood x FKOF series seems to have picked up speed again. But all is not lost… Zimbabwean-born and Norwich-bred Kulez hit me up a month back with a few of his links and his pretty amazing bio (check it on his SoundCloud). I’ve been listening to hip-hop quite a lot in the passed few weeks (on a … more →

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #110 – Reamz

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #110 - Reamz

So it seems that Just Host have (sort of) pulled their finger out and fixed the hardware issues that effectively brought the FatKidOnFire website down yesterday (although there are still occasional periods of downtime). There’s a few posts on their way (probably tomorrow) – but whether you’ll be able to read them/ I’ll be able to publish them is another matter. Fingers crossed anyhow! With the site going down and my day job keeping me on my toes, there’s a … more →

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #109 – Seizure

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #109 - Seizure

It’s been a quiet one this week here on FatKidOnFire – the 9-5 has well and truly taken off. It’s also been a bit of a downer today (apologies for those of you who aren’t/ haven’t been able to access the site throughout the day); FKOF’s hosting provider Just Host decided to upgrade some hardware and somehow, in the process of doing so, knocked everything offline. No firm ETA on getting everything sorted but I’m working on it! Tonight’s post is … more →

The State of the Music Industry pt. III

The State of the Music Industry pt. III

By now most of you seem to have read the two previous (2.1k likes on that post…!) guest posts that I’ve published about the bass music industry. Today’s third (and probably final) article on the topic is from Slice, head honcho over at Inna Riddim; a digital label who are currently looking to sort physical distribution deals. In my opinion, Slice’s post is near enough the perfect end to the discussion… Respect to Lawrence for opening up a can of worms point … more →

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #108 – rssk

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #108 - rssk

This week’s been a fantastic one for new content (and traffic for that matter) here on FatKidOnFire – and with a few new MakeItGood x FKOF features, as well as guest posts and brand interviews, that’s set to continue well into next week (and hopefully beyond). Tonight’s interviewee in the MIG x FKOF series is talented young DJ (and soon to be producer) rssk. Ross hit me up with a guest mix out of the blue a few months back, … more →

No Limits

No Limits

Having run FatKidOnFire pretty much on my own for the past two years, there have been a few times where a guest contributor (or two) would have come in handy. Which makes the fact that the team is seemingly forming (kind of) on its own is kind of awesome! Having worked with Chris before (have a quick read of this post to get an idea of his potential), I was 110% stoked when he offered to start writing for FKOF. … more →

[Free Download] Core x FatKidOnFire

[Free Download] Core x FatKidOnFire

I’m going to keep the write up short and sweet for the latest FKOF free download – purely because there’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said about the following remix (or the original for that matter)… Thelem‘s ‘Drones’ was a massive release in itself – appearing alongside ‘Lucid Dreams’ and ‘Pinar’ on Orientis Records’ ORTS002 release last year. Since its release, ‘Drones’ has seen remixes from TMSV, Benton (which you’ll find in his mix for MakeItGood … more →
