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

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

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

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

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

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

Interview #102 – Altru Apparel x FatKidOnFire

Interview #102 - Altru Apparel x FatKidOnFire

It’s been quite a while since an American fashion brand featured here on FatKidOnFire – too long in my opinion (so long, in fact, that I can’t quite remember which American brand last featured here on FKOF). So when I was contacted by the following brand (who are based out of LA) asking if we could sort something out, I jumped at the chance… [Photo by Describe the Fauna] California’s Altru Apparel are a wonderful looking graphic brand of t-shirts … more

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #107 – Dyssomnia

MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire #107 - Dyssomnia

It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a Dutch artist in the MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire series – the first (and only so far) was TMSV in August 2011. Luckily, we’ve got Dyssomnia to fly the flag for the Netherlands here on FKOF tonight – with one of the biggest and deepest mixes we’ve had in the series for a while… Who is Dyssomnia? I’m a 17 year old producer from the Netherlands who loves dark bass music. I basically love every … more

Interview #101 - Infinity Inc. x FatKidOnFire

Things have been going from mad to mental here at FatKidOnFire over the past couple of weeks – hitting 1,500 fans on Facebook, the FKOF Twitter account is just about to hit 1,300 followers and SoundCloud‘s not far off 1,800 followers. And that’s with limited content being pushed out on the site (partly thanks to my pretty mental schedule and otherwise down to my inability to free up some time to sit down and blog). For those of you who … more

I’ve just sat down and gone through the backlog of features and mixes I’ve got stacked up in the FatKidOnFire inbox and the next 5-10 posts in the MakeItGood x FKOF series are seriously top notch – if you’re not the owner of some serious monitors (/ a decent stereo or headphones), you’ll need to sort that to enjoy what we’ve got in store to its full potential! Tonights feature sees us celebrate another first for the MIG x FKOF … more
