About Album

This Fall marks the official 20th Anniversary of Fort Knox Five and to celebrate this milestone, the group has gotten some top tier producers to remix FK5 classics. Hot on the heels of The Allergies remix of ‘Insight’ is UK breaks ‘n’ Bass maestro Krafty Kuts, taking on the ultimate Fort Knox Five anthem ‘The Brazilian Hipster.’ Krafty does the impossible and injects the retro swagger of the original with some seriously fat beats and bass turning it into a dance floor monster!

Often it’s just one song that comes to define an artist, becoming their marquee track. For Fort Knox Five that track is ‘The Brazilian Hipster.’ The tune became an instant sensation and party hit, appearing on the famed Hotel Costes collection and the soundtrack to the Academy Award-winning documentary ‘The Cove.’

Krafty pays homage to the original track by incorporating Rob Myers’ swanky Bossa Nova guitar lick, and those classic, heavy-hitting horn riffs while upping the tempo and the energy. He manages to catch a little of the laid-back magic of the original and turn it up – way up!

‘The Brazilian Hipster’ is far and away the most popular FK5 track on Spotify, and has earned a spot in the record bin of timeless tracks. With this new take on the track, Krafty has given us another chance to celebrate this classic on the dance floor.

Fort Knox Recordings thrives as a melting pot of genres, where Reggae, Funk, Breaks, Latin, House, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, and more find their rightful home. Stay tuned for the next exclusive new remix in this series as well as the Another Decade of FK5 Remixed compilation featuring some of the worlds funkiest producers, including Stickybuds, Megan Hamilton, K+Lab and more!
