The story begins in 2003, when Jon Horvath, Steve Raskin, Rob Myers and Sid
Barcelona formed Fort Knox Recordings as an outlet for all the new music they
were producing. These were the early days of the legendary Fort Knox Five. The
label started with 12" Vinyl releases and caught the tail end of the DJ
record-buying days, before digital music and streaming became a thing. From the
beginning, the vibe was retro, the sound was funk, and the beats were fresh. The
label celebrated its first decade with the 2013 release of 10 Years of Fort Knox
Recordings, and a clear theme had emerged. The label had become a creative
incubator, a place for the featured, collaborating, and remixing artists who
were working with Fort Knox Five to release their own material. After featuring
See-I, Mustafa Akbar and the Empresarios on FK5 tracks, the label became a home
for these artists to release their own music. And this hometown, family approach
continues to this day Another Decade of Fort Knox Recordings showcases the
current roster of artists: Fort Knox Five, Thunderball, International Velvet,
Qdup, Omegaman, Nappy Riddem, Mustafa Akbar and See-I, with tracks from the
extended family including Ursula 1000 and Backbeat Underground. The label was
built on Dance floor bombs, and this compilation features mighty remixes by the
likes of: Skeewiff, All Good Funk Alliance, Skiitour, Bobby C Sound TV,
Funkanomics, Lakeshore Drive and label heads FK5 Of course there have been a few
notable changes over the years, including the tragic loss of label co-founder
Jon Horvath in 2015. And sadly two of the most distinctive voices to touch the
mic have also passed on: Mustafa Akbar in 2018 and Zee Steele in 2022. These
legends are alive and well in our hearts, and their legacy is strong. Amidst the
twists and turns, the tides of destiny brought another shift. The entire back
catalog of Thunderball, the creative force that laid the groundwork for FK5,
returned home to the label Fort Knox Recordings thrives as a melting pot of
genres, where Reggae, Funk, Breaks, Latin, House, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, and more
find their rightful place. The 20 tracks on this label compilation serve as a
window into the Fort Knox sound, and an invitation to discover more music by
these artists. 2023 is also the 20th Anniversary of label founders, Fort Knox
Five. So, stay tuned for a series of releases coming later this Summer and Fall!
