Review: Next up from Qdup, a very vibrant outing indeed as we see another exciting link up, this time with Fort Knox US, alongside the vibrant abilities of Awoke for a truly thumping single drop. Taking the title 'Wild Things', we immediately jump into a tidy combination of nostalgia-inducing breakbeat drum action and tidy vocal manoeuvres, making this an instantly recognizable hit from the second it begins to run. Alongside the original vocal, we also see this released with both an extended mix which allows the track to run on an even wider journey, next to an instrumental mix of the same for good measure.

Review: There are a few things you can bet your bottom dollar on in life; Fort Knox releases being funky as hell is one. And those releases getting backed up with an equally hefty remix package is another. Here's a fine example; each reversion adding a whole new party spirit to the mutli-lingual messiness of the originals. Take G-Flux's swamp stomp skank vibe on "Rompan Fila". Take Skeewiff's bold big band swing licks on "Para Mis Amigos". Take the tropical sea-side sparkles of Auditors Domination's remix of "Estereolismo". Each one a bottom-shaking, bottom-heavy, bottom dollar saving beauty.

Review: 'The Brazilian Hipster' was first released as a single in 2004, with Jalapeno regulars Skeewiff's remix issued on a promo-only 12-inch the following year, and now here's another chance to acquire both versions digitally. The original's a midtempo, brass-toting Latino funk jam featuring some very fine Hammond work and subtle, lounge-y chanted vox, but it's Skeewiff's refix that's surely the star, opening with the vocal and bringing the Hammond further to the fore, augmented by a very familiar-sounding late 70s disco/jazz-funk riff. It's one for the hepcats rather than the hipsters, perhaps, but its party-starting chops are as assured as ever.

Review: We here touch down on Fork Knox US, a well respected imprint for bringing forward exciting new bass music and EDM. They here bring forward QDup who arrives with a pair of very exciting mixes of 'Sound Off', a forward thinking dancefloor heavy hitter, put together in collaboration with the cunning vocal stylings of 'EVeryman'. The project comes complete with a future house mix of the track, along with a more rawcus breaks version, plus two instrumental additions just to add the finishing touches all around.

Review: Qdup returns to Fort Knox Recordings with a new single first imagined at the legendary Burning Man. During his first trip to the festival, Qdup performed a special hip-hop showcase at Funky Town, and invited MC's to rock his set. Story has it that San Francisco b-girl Awoke was one of the MC's that appeared out of the dust and blessed the mic that afternoon - which caught the ears of the crowd and inspired this collaboration. "Sonic Drop" captures the fun of that impromptu hip-hop jam in the desert.

Review: Breakbeat is certainly a genre that appears to be back on the rise as more and more notable producers return to their breaksy roots. On this brand new track from QDUP and Awoke entitled 'Sonic Drop' we hear a fantastic producer / vocalist collaboration. Washington's own QDUP supplies the choppy instrumental grooves, allowing the smooth rap vocal presence of Awoke to lace the gaps with her fly lyricism freely. This is a great pairing and also a great one for the Fort Knox US guys to put out.

Review: Following a long hiatus, it's great to now see veteran producer Ursula 1000 back in prolific form. Previously we've come to expect everything from this guy, from quirky lounge music to electro and disco. Here though, on "Smoke Machine" he's rustled up a peak-time hip house jam, the kind of electro-house house-meets-party-rap that the likes of Tiga used to play in those post-electro-clash days. Remix -wise, we're talking retro funk (Fort Knox Five), fizzy freestyle electro (Qdup) and cheeky 90s-house pop shenanigans (Richard Gear).

Review: If there's one label who is absolutely killing it in the breakbeat space, then the credits have to go to the USA's Fort Knox imprint, who seem to be able to offer winner after winner with each new release they send our way. Making their debut, it's the Backbeat Underground, a relatively unknown outfit - surely not for long - who comes through with three mixes of the supremely soulful "She Don't Love Me", a stunning charmer which will undoubtedly appeal to a large variety of soul boys and girls. Vocals like silk, instruments like gold and, of course, both a radio edit and an instrumental cut for ya!

Review: Last week saw the first instalment of remixes of Washington DC breakbeat act Fort Knox Five's Pressurize The Cabin. Now, whilst we're still spinning from the hit, they follow it up with a musical TKO in the form of two new reworks (both with instrumental versions too). First up, Sammy Senior enters the ring with his meaty musical right hook of a mix that features the original's anthemic vocal chants fused to crisp n' choppy bass-lead go-go/funk. Afroqben retaliates and wins with a tough uppercut of a mix that features a bubbling disco bassline and hands-in-the-air hip-hop MCs.

Review: Washington DC breakbeat duo Fort Knox Five presents yet more killer remixes of Pressurize The Cabin, originally released a year and a half ago. Starting out with the Eighteenth Street Lounge affiliated Ursula 1000, who delivers a low slung and funky rendition of "Ready Go" which will rock the dancefloor of any party, there's also a handy instrumental version for serious DJs. Meanwhile Palletz delivers a bass heavy, very UK makeover of "24 Hours To Set It Off" complete with ragga vocals which will storm any serious soundclash. Interestingly enough, this fella is from British Columbia, Canada; who'd have thought! Again, a handy instrumental version is included of this remix too.

Review: US genre-mangling funk ensemble Fort Knox Five recently returned with the long awaited Pressurize The Cabin LP.

Whether you're a hip-hop DJ, a soul or a funk selecter (or both), it's time to get creative with your mash-up skills!

Review: Washington DC's Fort Knox Five released the Pressurize The Cabin LP about 18 months ago, and since then they've toured every corner of the globe, releasing many remixes along the way too. Now they've had time to collect all these reworks onto one album and it's a biggie - 20 tunes strong in fact. Some of the many highlights include All Good Funk Allianance's staccato-synth sing-along version of "Fire In My Belly", The Funk Hunters' cut-up electro version of "Whatcha Gonna Do" and the DJ Dan/Mike Balance acid-funk remix of "Keep It Poppin". Something for everyone here.
