Updates...

It’s been a fairly busy night here at FatKidOnFire; a new brand feature, a new ‘Out and About’ and finally some new brand updates we thought were of note. First off, we saw something rather unique through our friend Gemma over at GLKing Creative Consultancy. Leicester’s 3 1/2 Inch Floppy Ltd recycle old floppy discs (some of you may remember them; pre-CD tech haha!) into unique bags, note pads, pen pots and wine holders. Each item is hand made and are all … more

Out and About over the next few weeks...

If you cast your minds back to our recent post ‘More Updates…‘ you’ll remember we wrote about the upcoming event this Sunday. We’ve been chatting to some of the brands who are attending (Treacle, Soapbox, Youneek, Dat Tag and Self Gained Treasures to name a few) and this flyer caught our eye. Shannon from SGT has got a sneak peek of his newest collection in the works (we’ve seen some new pieces of his and trust us, they are dope) … more

It’s been fairly quiet this week here at FatKidOnFire HQ, but if you’ve been following the Twitter account you’ll have a vague idea as to why. After months of looking, a few interviews and a few projects that are still waiting to come to fruition, I’ve started a new job. It’s (initially) a full time three month internship so finding sufficient time to dedicate to writing content for FKOF took a back seat this week. However, it’s the weekend and … more

FatKidOnFire goes international

FatKidOnFire goes international

FatKidOnFire has always been about supporting the underground. With the FKOF movement (if you can call it that) forever growing and extending across the world, I come across countless likeminded people who see the world in the same sort of way. An example of such a person would be my boy Brandon who goes by the fameONE moniker. fameONE is soul invested in the pulsing heart of the city.  Growing up in various places in the U.S. from the east … more

Out and About over the next 10 days...

It’s the first FatKidOnFire “Out and About” of 2011 and we think it’s a good one. All you dubstep heads are getting spoilt in the next 10 days! After the success of the inaugural Audio dOughnuts night at Cable in December, we’re fully psyched for their latest bash tonight in East. Tonight marks another first for the label, with the event marking the first EP release on the imprint. Expect to hear Rinse FM’s Kutz and Shox along with Planet … more

Remember Jilted Royalty? Jay Read’s clothing company have been marking serious moves on our independent clothing scene here in the UK. Having only been releasing his collection recently, the range already consists of 4 crews, six tees and a beanie. Jay’s now expanding the brand to cater for the ladies. Jay told me: I keep getting asked for girls stuff, so to tide em over ’till I start making women’s/ children’s clothing later this month/ early February I had the idea … more

The first exclusive Sneak Peak of 2011

The first exclusive Sneak Peak of 2011

For those of you who’ve been keeping tabs on FatKidOnFire for a while (big up to all of you, we know you exist!), you’ll be aware of the exclusive sneak peaks we occasionally get from the brands we’ve come to know during our time. This next very exclusive sneak peak marks the first of 2011. Now we know it’s not really 2011 yet, but you’ll forgive (and understand) our excitement once you read on. In September 2010 we brought you … more

A further few updates and a comp...

It’s times like this, when I stumble across unbelievable talent, that it makes all the hard work that happens behind the scenes of FKOF worthwhile. There’s something about the creatures of the deep in the video for ‘Bio-Luminescence’ that 110% work with the mixture of genres that feature in the track. It just works! If you haven’t come across KANEDUBSTEP you need to get in the know. Find him on Youtube, Soundcloud and Facebook. Sam is destined for huge things … more

Fear not, we're still here...

It’s been a while since FatKidOnFire graced your radar, and for that we are truly sorry. The combination of a new internship (now finished), multiple bouts of the winter lurgy and it generally being too cold to do anything but hibernate have all taken their toll but we’re glad to have new content for the site… We figured if we were going to be writing lots for you to read we’d give you guys an audio accompaniment to lessen the … more

Out and About next weekend (again)…

Out and About next weekend (again)...

We’re always on the hunt for events we think are worth shouting about and this next night promises to be no exception. Our lovely pal Nikki and her mate Tom over at Acute Promotions are launching a monthly night in our neck of the woods so we thought we’d fire you guys the necessary deets for the launch night next week…
