Fort Knox Five Blowing Up The Barrio Digi-EP
midtempo with a light splash of latin

the lab review
Some advice for young labels. If your product is good, press up white labels early and get them into the right hands, then let it marinate. Fort Knox has been doing this especially well, and it's been catching the ear of the Bogman (the Lab's super connected Romanian record gypsy) and his family. Bogman has been telling me that this 12" was "hot" and "people want it" for weeks before it was even available. Well in a dust cloud of white, here's FX003 from the Fort Knox Five. "Blowing Up the Barrio" inhabits that midtempo beats category that seems to be hard to fill up these days. I was expecting a little more zest here, and I find it on the flip with "Blowing Up the Spot" Ancient Astronauts mix. The Astronauts, from Denmark's Switchstance label (also worth checking if you like Fort Knox), hit you hard with their high amplitude mixdown, sounds a bit like DJ Format. The original "Blowing Up The Spot" also appears here, sounding like a midtempo dub version. Another solid release from DC's Fort Knox.
