Fort Knox Five have once again handed over the controls of their ‘Funk the World‘ mix series, this time to their good friend, Manuel Muniz aka, DJ Manny. Manuel has remixed a few FK5 tracks in the past and as the FK5 guys love his sound so much, it was a no brainer to get him involved with the legendary mix series. You can expect to hear a myriad of genres that are all expertly blended together with a strong Latin theme threaded in throughout. Thank funk it’s Friday!

We are immensely pleased to premiere Ali Ahmadi ‘I Will Take U’, a spine shivering, rush-inducing, bleepy warehouse techno jam coming to all good digi-stores via AA Recordings as part of the two-track ‘Are You Here?’ EP

This really ought to be the release that catapults Ali and his label, AA Recordings right to the top. It has all the credentials to stand tall next to the big hitters like Adam Beyer, Pig&Dan et al. There is a haunting early 90’s feel to ‘I Will Take U’ that reminds this writer of Joey Beltram’s early pioneering tunes like ‘Energy Flash’ and ‘Mentasm’. In short, this is a tune one week into 2017 that absolutely deserves your ears!!

Clips of the EP will be up on AA Recordings soon, be sure to check out the Soundcloud and Facebook pages and give ‘em a follow!!
