MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #96 – DJ2E

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #96 - DJ2E

It’s been a while since the last MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire video interview – but tonight sees the latest one in the series get the drop. Lara and I first met the extremely awesome DJ2E back at the first FKOF Bastards excursion, and have been following his talents, both on the decks and on the buttons, since then. You can catch 2E on RoodFM every other Tuesday on the 6-8PM GMT slot, and don’t sleep on Chris’ appearance on GetDarker TV this Tuesday … more

An ode to Independence

An ode to Independence

I get a lot of emails. It’s partly my fault for openly publicising my email address – and most of the time, my inbox is on the receiving end of complete garbage as penance. However, I do sometimes get sent stuff that is truly exciting… This project was one of those times. Back in November, I had a message, through from my About.me page, from a final year graphic design student from the University of Gloucestershire. Chris had contacted me … more

Apart from having to stay in, taking antibiotics and put eye drops in my ear this weekend, I’ll be sitting in front of the computer uploading MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire’s 96th mix – as well as publishing the latest (video) interview (that was filmed at Cable a few weeks back). It’s going to fun… Tonight, I’m not going to be putting eye drops in my ear (I have a feeling the hospital pharmacy gave me the wrong drugs) and I’m more … more

Interview #94 – Listen Supply x FatKidOnFire

Interview #94 - Listen Supply x FatKidOnFire

The next few weeks are set to be pretty good as far as new bits and pieces here on FatKidOnFire are concerned. The brand feature series is just six interviews away from the big 100 – as is the MakeItGood x FKOF run. Oh, and it’s FKOF’s two year birthday a month tomorrow… I’ll be getting the thinking cap on for ways to celebrate reaching all these milestones – but safe to say there’ll be some cool sh!t going down … more

[Recap] – Out and About (GetDarker b2b Dubstep Bastards)

[Recap] - Out and About (GetDarker b2b Dubstep Bastards)

It’s fair to say the GetDarker b2b Dubstep Bastards weekend two weeks ago got more then a bit messy. I’ve been pretty much a broken man since I got back to London – as some of you will no doubt have heard! Unsurprisingly, given the event had sold out, Cable welcomed a fairly massive crowd to the GetDarker launch party for ‘This is Dubstep 2012′. For those of you who couldn’t get a ticket or reach the event, fear not. … more

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #94 – JayDrop

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #94 - JayDrop

It’s been ten days since the last MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire feature, mainly thanks to me falling apart at the seams. But, as I said in the earlier brand interview with yellowdog, everything is slowly starting to get back up to speed here on FKOF. I first started talking to Chippenham’s JayDrop about a year ago – or rather he messaged me on SoundCloud after I started following me and offered up a mix/ interview. Things ended up not quite going … more

Interview #93 – Yellowdog x FatKidOnFire

Interview #93 - Yellowdog x FatKidOnFire

It’s been a bit quiet here on FatKidOnFire over the past week – in more ways than one. I blew my left eardrum out last Tuesday, on a slowdown after somewhat of a mental weekend and have had a chest infection since last Saturday. But, you’ll be pleased to hear,  the antibiotics have kicked in; the chest infection seems to have gone on its way and I’m back in front of the computer. Which means, tonight, I can finally get … more

[Free Download] - Ruffan x FatKidOnFire

This weekend‘s probably going to ruin me. But at least I can rest easy knowing I’ve finally broadened the focus of FatKidOnFire’s musical scope – by getting the first ever strictly 170bpm mix up and featured on the site. I’ve been meaning to start focusing on more than just the ‘dungeon sound’ that has apparently become synonymous with FatKidOnFire, and I’ve noticed that I’ve started listening to more 170bpm bits and pieces over the past 6 weeks or so. I … more

Out and About this weekend…

Out and About this weekend...

This weekend is gearing up to be one of the best(/ worst come Sunday) I’ve possibly ever had. It’s also worth noting (or not, depending on your viewpoint) how the last ‘Out and About‘ post I wrote about featured two of the events that I’m writing about tonight. To say I’m excited about the next three days is a bit of an understatement… For those of you based in Essex, tomorrow night sees my boys the Fused Forces and the Hoodlums … more

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #93 - Outerdub

I know I bang on about this a lot (do stop me if it’s getting boring), but I still can’t quite believe how far and how wide dubstep has come over the past two years I’ve been running FatKidOnFire. Tuesday’s MakeItGood x FKOF feature was with Serbia’s
