Formed just over three years ago, the Fort Knox label has allowed the Fort Knox Five to release their own brand of dancefloor funk, resulting in some bonafide classics along the way, such as “Brazilian Hipster”, “The Big Score” and “Blowing Up The Spot”. This is the first compilation, bringing together classics from the label’s vault – including the titles mentioned – plus some of the cuts that helped to pave the way. “Radio Free DC”, with Afrika Bambaataa & King Kamonzi on vocals, sets the pace for tracks from Speedy Consuala, Rex Riddem, Liftoff, International Velvet & of course, the Fort Knox Fives themselves. Funk, dub and soul united in one package.
