Sectra – Visceral Vibrations
[Artist Highlight]
Sometimes we rely on music to feel things for us, so we don’t have to bear the crushing burden of our emotions all on our own. A powerful thing happens when we hear the darkest pieces of ourselves echoed back at us… We realise that we’re not alone – or maybe we are, but at least we’re okay with...

EshOne – ‘Elk’ EP
Introducing GourmetBeats’ GB008
EshOne, as ever, has something wicked in store for the dancefloor. This shouldn’t come as a surprise — the American musician has cultivated a reputation for producing bangers. His latest release on Joe Nice’s Gourmetbeats, the Elk EP, is precisely what we’ve been primed to expect from the badman...

Various Artists – Los Angeles EP
FKOF Review
Joe Nice, the American dubstep ambassador, has done it again.
We’ve known him as a talented, charismatic and enthusiastic DJ, curator and performer — respected for his incredible live performances where he blesses the dance with red-hot dubplate after dubplate. Every second Tuesday of the month,...

This post marks the arrival of our latest contributor; who you may know as half of the HSD crew. Big up and welcome, Stephanie!

Axis in Rotation
FKOF Review
“So you laydeez like real dubstep, yeah?”
Yeah, Mr. Smoking Area Man, we do. Despite being relatively 'new' listeners, we've been welcomed with open arms, integrating with ease into the community. We (my friend, M, and I) now live for the packed floors filled with steppers, peaceful vibes and...

The Art of Selection
Trying something New
It's not often we get pitched guest content here on FatKidOnFire - but when we do it occasionally demands attention.

N.O.W Is The Time
FKOF Review
My first introduction to George Evelyn’s ambient electronica trip-hop alias Nightmares on Wax was, admittedly, purely coincidental. I was young and intent on filling my new 120GB iPod Classic with as much music as possible. I use the word music loosely here as the link is particularly tenuous, just so...

Truth – Hollow World
FKOF Review
Truth certainly didn’t squander the opportunity Mala gave them back in 2009 when he signed one of their first 140 productions, The Fatman, to his legendary Deep Medi record label. They released Terror Planet on Aquatic Lab only a few months later, and have since signed tracks on every major label in...
