Fort Knox Five (FK5) was formed back in 2003 by four like-minded musicians, Steve Raskin, Jon Horvath (RIP), Rob Myers and Sid Barcelona. Each musician in the group have also worked with other acts in the music industry including Thunderball, Thievery Corporation and See-I to name a few. Fort Knox Five also formed their own label Fort Knox Recordings to release their unique style of funky music. Fort Knox Recordings still runs today with various artists contributing their music over the years and giving the label its mass following. With the recent sad passing of Jon Horvath they still continue to play shows as a LIVE instrumental act as well as rocking the turntables to the masses.

London based, Ignite Records, have recently burst through the 3,000 followers mark on Soundcloud and as they’re wanting to say a big thank you to fans new and old, they’ve put together this rather tasty free 5 track ‘3K‘ EP. This selection of House tracks are a must to be owned, especially if you’ve got a terrace party you’re spinning at this summer. I can’t think of anywhere better to dance to these 5 summer sizzlers by Jonatas C, Hutchinson, RePhil, Fraser Whalen & Barga and Boondock Project. You drop any one of these tunes and it’s goin’ off, people dancing and smiles everywhere and who doesn’t love a bit of that?! Listen to the whole EP and you will be rewarded, trust me.

Ignite Records have a stack of free tunes over on their Soundcloud page too. Happy hunting.

Gower Preston is keeping the Stereophoenix flame burning bright with this breathtaking 2 hour mix. I do love a mix that you can pop on and just lose yourself in and the impeccable selection of Tech House and Techno tracks that Gower has handpicked, takes me to places I didn’t even know existed. The intensely beauty he’s encapsulated in the first hour is off the scale and the second hour, well, that’s where the groove comes out to play. If you just happen to be kicking back  in your garden at some point this summer, you really must get a piece of the action as it’ll add that special touch to your time. Enjoy.

It feels like ages since we’ve heard anything from Se7en Deadly Breaks and to be honest, this offering from them nearly slipped through the net. Their ‘Beat‘ EP was released on Urban Music a couple of months ago and was recently discovered and because these guys really know how to break their beats, it had to be sent your way. The first of the two tracks ‘Beatdown‘ offers dark Jungle infused Breaks that will go off during the peaktime hours. ‘Beat Go‘ is a far more minimal approach with bass ruling the waves to create a tune that’ll twist and break your mind in the early hours.

There’s only a small preview of each track, but we’re sure there’s more than enough to grab your attention and have you snapping up this heavyweight EP.
