Arguably Washington’s biggest export in funk and broken beat – Fort Knox 5 - are pure DC style slipping in to the Home of the Underground :: Saturday February 25

With great pleasure, Boomtick in conjunction with The Hustle are proud to announce the return of Fort Knox 5 after their f-i-n-e debut at 360 last year. Flawless fat beats and live instrumentation are a melting pot combination in their fabulous party numbers ‘Blowing up the Barrio’, ‘The Brazilian Hipster’ and ‘The Big Score’. Expect Latin breaks, boogaloo beats and grooves, hip hop bootlegs dressed up with a fistful of funk…

EVERYTHING Fort Knox 5 touches turns to pure, electrofunkfusion gold. Their fuel is a blend of 60’s sounds, broken beat and Thievery Corp-esque cool that moves the party machine to spread the word across dance floors worldwide – beautifully bottled up in their soon to be released album ‘The New Gold Standard’ that will no doubt throw some bricks into the barricade.

When you join forces with the Godfather of hip-hop, Afrika Bambaataa, to bang out your fifth ‘official’ release, you know it’s gonna be a thriller – and ‘Radio Free DC’ had so many hooked, even Krafty Kuts and A Skillz got in on the remix action. Fort Knox 5 have returned the favour to both, as well as Kraak and Smaak, Skeewiff and Mo Horizons – certainly seems demand for FK5 is high. Just ask Gwen Stefani, who had the boys as her DJ’s on her recent US tour.

Smooth, tight and wet, get friendly with Fort Knox 5 ‘cos they’ve Got That Vibe!
