Freestyle 4 Funk 8 (Compiled by Timewarp)

 

After fifteen and full active years we made it to have more than 200 digital releases, counting around 2000 tracks with over 300 artists and remixers involved on our roster.
But, hey we are actually counting about 220, including our physical releases, and we are about to celebrate with our anniversary and successful compilation Freestyle 4 Funk 8 (Compiled by Timewarp).
The compilation will be divided into four different volumes tagged with the proper music style to showcase some of the best sounding tracks we have released so far.
You will discover some fresh and unreleased gems too in there! So watch this space as from the beginning of January 2021 we will release week by week all four volumes of our new compilation, starting with first of the series #Disco, with #Funk, #Dub and #Freestyle to follow up next!

Let Them Know (feat. The Cuban Brothers) by The Allergies

The Allergies return with another criminally good record in the shape of 'Let Them Know'.
Featuring the legendary party starters The Cuban Brothers on vocals, this sizzling slice of sunshine on wax builds to the kind of full-on carnival atmosphere we've all been wishing for right now.
It's a match made in heaven as Bristol's finest serve up a hotbed of big hip-hop drums, huge funky horns, and a fat dollop of dynamite boogaloo rhythms. The perfect backdrop, then, for Los Hermanos Cubanos to bust sick rhymes and sweet harmonies over. Allow it!
The track is bursting with fun-loving lyrical flavour and a massively catchy chorus, and hopes to be the perfect party pick me up for anyone labouring under grey skies right now.
'Let Them Know' is the latest single release in the lead-up to The Allergies' album, Say The Word, and a great indicator of the slick production, sweet collaborations, and feel good vibes that run through each and every track on there.

This 7" vinyl single comes backed with 'Lightning In A Bottle', a wax-only hip-hop club rocker featuring Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling). And is The Allergies little bonus B-side beat for all you 45 slinging DJs out there, to say thanks for the support. Yes, friends!

DC's Finest by Fort Knox Five

During the lockdown we've done a bit of spring cleaning and opened up the Fort Knox Vaults. A fun rediscovery has been the epic DC's Finest Volumes 1-4 Mix Series from over a decade ago! The mixes are chock full of mash-ups, remints & edits from our early FK1000 & BOMBS releases. We've decided to share these classic FK5 mixes with all of you, and for the first time ever will release the DC's Finest Remixes that made these mixes so much fun. We're giving away all this music, but please consider "Name Your Price" at checkout, and pay what you can to support Independent Music & Musicians - FK5 has had a lot of cancelled gigs, thanks for supporting!

The Quarantine Spring Cleaning continues! Fresh from the Fort Knox vaults, DC's Finest Volume 2 is now available for the first time. We realized that this DJ mix was never released nor pressed on CD. Among these rare mash-ups, remixes & edits, only Rootz in FK-os & Green Tambourine have seen the light of day. The other tracks were kept as FK5 exclusives and this is the first time they are available for download to play on your own.

The DC's Finest trip down memory lane continues with Volume 3 of the Mix Series!!! There are some bass heavy tunes & party anthems included in this group. "Mama's Boots" was the only track ever released, it came out as a BOMBS White Label 12-inch Vinyl back in the day! We're giving away all this music
