Interview #24 - Mat McIvor x FatKidOnFire
It’s that time again. I promised interviews over the weekend but unforseen circumstances (damn computers - anyone fancy giving me a MacBook Pro?) threw that plan out the window. So here’s the first of (hopefully) a few FatKidOnFire interviews this week. Continuing the artistic theme laid down with Scott Move’s interview, this next interviewee has some unbelievable talent!

[Special] Mixtape #1.4 - Ropper x FatKidOnFire
Purely because it makes me laugh.
[I apologise if a) this offends anyone b) you’ve seen it before - I was only introduced to this a few days ago]
We’ve one or two things to celebrate here at FatKidOnFire HQ…

Firstly, the stickers mentioned earlier have finally arrived (and will be with the people who emailed me to express interest by the...

Mixtape #4.2 - Jah-Killin x FatKidOnFire
This one photo sums up the game for me.
John Terry’s superhero effort to block the shot on goal from Zlatko Dedic says it all - total dedication; trying to stop an attempt on goal using your head, whilst pretending to be Superman. It doesn’t make much logical sense but this photo (to me) is what football is, or should be, all about. I’m pretty sure Terry was doing his best to...

Interview #23 - King Noir x FatKidOnFire
It seems FatKidOnFire has finally got through the slowdown over the end of the (lengthy and unpleasant) University process and is back up to speed with interviews, mixtapes and life in general. It feels good. Damn good! This next brand is one close to my heart; using hand drawn, traditional tattoo-inspired graphics on tees, prints and snapbacks. A perfect mix if you ask me…

Mixtape #5.3 - Sai x FatKidOnFire
It’s that time of night again… Time to turn the lights off, turn the dial up and get low to another FatKidOnFire minimix from the musical genius that is Sai. With another huge track list this mix continues showcasing Sai’s skills for spinning more than a few genres (how does metal, teh dutty dubsteps and hip-hop sound?) seamlessly into 17 minutes of audio greatness....

Interview #22 - Elephanto x FatKidOnFire
Right, so FatKidOnFire has finally sorted a job (paying many monies!), has got the ball rolling for Party #1 (keep 28th August free) and is still putting in the hours at the internship(s - if the others come through). Oh, and I’ve moved house! It’s been a busy few weeks. However, here at FatKidOnFire HQ we’ve still found time to keep the interviews stacking up. This next brand is...

[Special] Interview #21 - V.A.S. Music x...
After taking a break from technology and spending the weekend ruining my liver, I thought it’d be best to celebrate the return to civilisation (no offence Deal but I like having phone signal everywhere I go) with yet another first for FatKidOnFire. I’ve been meaning to kick off the next genre of interview here at FatKidOnFire HQ for a long while and have finally got around to doing so....

The World Cup...
Unless you’ve spent the last six months hiding under a rock or suffer from some form of a memory disorder you’ll be aware that the 2010 World Cup has finally kicked off (excuse the pun). You’ll either be loving the prospect of spending upwards of a month sat in the pub/ in front of your TV cradling a few tinnies of whatever your beverage of choice is or you’ll be in the...

More FatKidOnFire news
As a previous post explained things are slowly starting to take off here at FatKidOnFire HQ.
The FatKidOnFire Facebook fanpage is has been “Liked” by lots of lovely people (the current number of fans is around the 180 mark) and that number is slowly but surely increasing every day! I’ve been adding interviews to get the fanpage to the same stage as the main site which, for...

Mixtape #3.2 - Dj Scooter x FatKidOnFire
(Thanks to B.B. Manik for sharing this!)
Now this video is (most definitely) visually appealing, but I think it’s a shame the backing track isn’t a bit more lively.. Why not mute the video and listen to the next installment in Dj Scooter’s FatKidOnFire mixes?
We’ve finally had another FatKidOnFire interview so I can post another of Scooter’s sick mixtapes....

Interview #20 - IamBassment x FatKidOnFire
It’s been over a month since the last FatKidOnFire interview was posted. So to take a break from the multitude of mixes I’ve been posting, here’s the next interview (which also happens to be the twentieth FatKidOnFire interview!) with rather a special brand. A brand who’s fought through all manner of battles to get to this point of releasing super freshpieces for your...

A little treat...
FatKidOnFire fam B.B. Manik, of Raw Riddim Records and Super-Hero Clothing fame, has been working on an album for eons. Literally years. Luckily for us his first single dropped on iTunes (and other respectable purveyors of music) so please reach deep into those pockets of yours and part ways with a measly 79 pence to support on our homegrown hip-hop talents. Click on either the links below to...

The Reset - 29 & 30th June recap
As the regular readers of FatKidOnFire will know this bank holiday weekend saw the return of The Reset showcase event to the Nike 1948 Space in Shoreditch. I went along on the Saturday to both assist in the running of the Second Son stall and to document the happenings that went down throughout the day. As to be expected, the event was hugely popular with the finest streetwearheads London has to...

Updating your FatKidOnFire newsfeed
Just a quick update to keep you all in the loop as to where FatKidOnFire is with everything.
If you’re friends with me on Facebook you’ll have seen that I finally got around to setting up the FatKidOnFire fanpage! It would be awesome if you guys could “Like” the page and get your friends (and their friends) to do the same - I promise not to clog up your feed too much but...

Mixtape #6.1 - OhMyJosh x FatKidOnFire
Now I am more than aware that FatKidOnFire HQ has been churning out mixtapes left, right and centre whilst neglecting to publish any interviews. That’s not particularly a deliberate choice of mine but I’m in the process of chasing up lots (and lots) and interviews for you guys to read. Hopefully the wait will be worth it. We shall see!
Anyway, to continue filling the void while I get...
