All’s been a bit quiet here at FatKidOnFire recently; but fear not. I’ll reveal all later this week! But tonight, I’ve cleared the calendar and have the latest two MakeItGood x FKOF features lined up to publish. First off, Lara and I recently sat down with Diss Miss from Dutty Girl and talked music, events and everything in between. Interestingly, the Dutty lot are only the second female feature in this series… Something needs sorting! But don’t worry – we’re on the case. For those … more

Interview #91 - Shaka Clothing x FatKidOnFire

As you’ll see in the ‘FatKidOnFire 2011 Recap #2′ (when I get around to writing it), brand features, although they went well, have taken a bit of a back seat over the past 12 months. I’m not quite sure how that happened but I seem to have drifted away from being as connected to the streetwear game as I once was. So, what with the new year and all that, I’m going to try my best to have an equal … more

With the rise of mainstream ‘brostep‘ over the last few years, I’ve been stoked to follow the resurgence of the more original ‘traditional’ dubstep sounds – as you can probably tell by the artists featuring here on FatKidOnFire. The next artist to step up to the MakeItGood x FKOF plate is on a similar tip, supporting the older sounds from the original dubstep dons in both his mixes and production. Biak may be pretty new to the scene, but his tunes … more

2011 seemed to bring about a bit of change here at FatKidOnFire – moving away from the original fashion-focused content and fully embracing the deeper end of the dubstep sounds. Having just upgraded the FKOF SoundCloud account, there’s no more shuffling around from SoundCloud to Mixcloud (and there’s now 24 more hours of upload time to play with). And seeing as it seems 2012 is going to be no different to 2011 in terms of the (mix-based) content I’ll be featuring … more

I was thinking of having a bit of me time over the Christmas break as far as keeping the blog ticking over until 2012 – but at the rate at which the (awesome) content is backing up I might not get any much. Here’s hoping 2012 can continue the seriously good year this one’s been. There’s two or three new MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire features and mixes, a few free downloads and one or two brand features due over the next week … more

So I failed to keep up the run of updates as promised and have yet to make a full 7 days back to back with posts here on FatKidOnFire. C’est la vie I guess, but I’m glad to say there’s a new MakeItGood x FKOF interview to drop this weekend as well as another exclusive free download. Trying to make up for slacking on the frequency of updates with quality over quantity! There’s been an explosion of quality startup independent … more

Continuing where yesterday’s feature with Thierry D left off, tonight’s MakeItGood and FatKidOnFire interview and guest mix welcomes another new producer/ DJ to the site – the second Greek dubstep artist to feature here on FKOF (Duckem being the first). Back in November, I received an email from a producer/ DJ called Digital Monk who, like Thierry D, who was asking whether I’d in featuring his tunes/ mixing skills on the blog. We got chatting and, after listening to the tunes … more

It’s been a quiet week here on FatKidOnFire, in part due to me flying to Brussels for a day of meetings on Tuesday and spending Thursday afternoon in meetings in Reading. But, over the next week or two there’s a stack of new MakeItGood x FKOF mixes, hopefully a new brand feature (or two) and maybe a competition (to round off a pretty awesome year). 2011 has been a fantastic year for the MakeItGood x FKOF series. Just looking through … more

Interview #90 - Malkovich Music x FatKidOnFire

It’s been quite a good week for content here at FatKidOnFire. There’s been three new MakeItGood x FKOF features (hit up the Soundcloud and Mixcloud accounts for those!) and coverage of what promises to be a pretty mental weekend. If all goes well, there’ll be a pretty awesome recap coming up. Oh, and there’s a couple more MIG x FKOF features and a free download or two on their way. Stay locked… It seems the focus of non-MIG x FKOF features has shifted from the … more

I still haven’t figured out a schedule for releasing the mountain of free tracks and MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire mixes I’m sitting on, so until I do (or the free music runs out) I’ll be dropping bits and pieces every few days. Follow FKOF on Mixcloud (for the mixes that have been up on the SC account) and on SoundCloud for the new drops. There are times when artists contact me (info below for those of you that don’t have the … more
