makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #3 - Jayou

We’re all about underground bass music here at FatKidOnFire HQ. Mancunian Dj/ Producer Jayou (aka James Martin) epitomises that kind of music – mixing electro and dubstep his tunes have to be heard to be believed! Catch James on Soundcloud and Twitter, and peep makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #3 below…  Find out more after the jump What made you start producing dubstep? My good friend Laney showed me a few of his beats before I moved to uni, they were some jump up … more

makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #2 - Crystal Clear

After the success of makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #1 – sKewn, and seeing as Lara’s already posted this up on makeitgood I thought it’d be a good idea to drop makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #2. I’ll let Lara introduce it, if you’re into your drum and bass this one promises to be a very interesting read… The 2nd interview for makeitgood and FatKidOnFire is with renowned drum and bass producer Crystal Clear. He is part of the Playaz team and has also set … more

Interview #31 – Guy Vernes x FatKidOnFire

Interview #31 - Guy Vernes x FatKidOnFire

I was supposed to getting an early night tonight (as those have been sorely lacking of late) but after selling 11 FatKidOnFire tees today (which means the run of large black tees are now sold out – don’t sleep as I only have 26 white and black tees left) and making progress with areas of FatKidOnFire’s continuing development I thought it’d be a good idea to drop another international feature… Find out more after the jump As we found with the … more

makeitgood x FatKidOnFire #1 – sKewn

There’s always ways of finding new firsts here at FatKidOnFire HQ. As things continue to progress (such as the arrival of the FatKidOnFire tees, a sticker reprint due to high demand and the purchasing of specialist hosting services for the new FatKidOnFire website), I’m finding it more difficult to keep on top of a continuous stream of posts – mainly because I’m all over the place working and meeting new people.  As you know, I’ve long championed teh dutty dubsteps. Running … more

The tables turn and FatKidOnFire gets interviewed...

[Thanks Synamatix for introducing this to me - proper lowkey vibes on this one. Apologies if I’ve posted this tune before, but if so it’s worth a repost] This week I take a look behind the scenes at the London-based fashion blog, FatKidOnFire. What started out as a small blog about the UK’s streetwear scene has grown into much more over the last several months. FKOF has expanded its reach to not only incorporate streetwear brands worldwide, but has become … more

Interview #30 – Yokio Clothing x FatKidOnFire

Interview #30 - Yokio Clothing x FatKidOnFire

I’ve never been able to decide whether I prefer subtle graphics on clothing or those with more “pop”. Luckily for me (and you if you’re in the same boat), this next brand has both the understated designs and those with more vibrant colourways – meaning I can wear both and not have to make that difficult choice. Hailing from Bristol, this next interviewee continues to cement the city’s status as one of streetwear’s finest hosts of creative talent… Find out … more

[Special] Interview #29 – DEER BRAINS x FatKidOnFire

[Special] Interview #29 - DEER BRAINS x FatKidOnFire

This next feature is somewhat of a special one. If you’re into design, art or fashion (basically anything creative) you may have heard of this next interviewee. I’ve been following them since I started out and if you don’t know them you’re in for an absolute treat… Find out more after the jump DEER BRAINS is a creative website. That much is certain. To try and describe the site further has so far proven most difficult so I’ll just let … more

Interview #28 – Origin London x FatKidOnFire

Interview #28 - Origin London x FatKidOnFire

Every so often, an opportunity presents itself here at FatKidOnFire HQ that is too just good to miss. This feature is an example of such an opportunity. This brand dropped their first design on their webstore less than 12 hours ago so when I say they’re super fresh you know I mean it! I have a really good feeling about these guys… Find out more after the jump As FatKidOnFire continues to grow, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to pinpoint … more

Interview #27 – Art. Daley x FatKidOnFire

Interview #27 - Art. Daley x FatKidOnFire

It’s late Friday afternoon, the sun is shining (sort of) and it’s time for another FatKidOnFire feature before I begin this weekend’s alcoholic assault on my liver. Continuing the theme first kicked off with V.A.S. Music, this next interview is with a British hip-hop artist who pulls no punches when it comes to writing dope rhymes (pun intended). He also has a penchant for ink and the greener side of life (if you know what I mean)… Find out more … more

Interview #26 – Suffoca x FatKidOnFire

Interview #26 - Suffoca x FatKidOnFire

I love independent brands. FatKidOnFire is testament to that. There’s something about the D.I.Y. ethic that exemplifies everything that’s right with streetwear, or any other industry for that matter. This next brand is one close to my heart, and is a prime example of an independent brand doing it 110% right… Find out more after the jump Suffoca is the ultimate one man brand. Boyce runs absolutely everything (with a little help from his friends) and lives, sleeps and breaths Suffoca. … more
