(Fort Knox Recordings)

Steve Raskin, Sid Barcelona, Rob Myers, Stephen Albert et Jon Horvath forment Fort Knox Five et le label Fort Knox Five Recordings, à Washington. Steve Raskin et Sid Barcelona dirigent Thunderball, un groupe downtempo signé chez Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, le label de Thievery Corporation. Horvath & Steve Raskin font de l'eclectro/breakbeat sur Red Menace Records sous le nom JonH & Raskal. Rob Myers joue de la guitare et de la sitar pour Thunderball et Thievery Corporation, Stephen Albert faisant de même à la batterie. Entre 2003 et 2004, sous emblème funky Fort Knox Five, ils ont sorti 5-6 maxis (incluant un bootleg des White Stripes) d'electro-funk-breakbeat-dub-house-pour-le-dancefloor, qui ont petit à petit lancé un buzz aujourd'hui assez énorme. En 2005 un nouvel EP apparait en bacs, "Radio Free D.C.", featuring Afrika Bambaataa en personne et le rappeur multi-styles King Kamonzi, afin d'entretenir la rumeur et de prendre place dans les sacs des Djs qui seraient déjà au courant. Tout ceci sans parler de leurs remixes pour Torpedo Boys, Rodney Hunter, Dr Rubberfunk, Afrika Bambaataa, Jeff Settle, Mo' Horizons, Tower Of Power, Chris Joss ou Skeewiff...
Trois CD promos, "Get the Party Started Right", leur premier album à sortir prochainement, "To the Breaks of Dawn", un CD mixé de leurs remixes, et "The New gold Standard", une compilation des deux premières années du label Fort Knox Recordings, circulent petit à petit depuis la fin 2004. On les trouve déjà sur le p2p bien évidemment...

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
