Interview #30 - Yokio Clothing x FatKidOnFire
I’ve never been able to decide whether I prefer subtle graphics on clothing or those with more “pop”. Luckily for me (and you if you’re in the same boat), this next brand has both the understated designs and those with more vibrant colourways - meaning I can wear both and not have to make that difficult choice. Hailing from Bristol, this next interviewee continues to cement...

FatKidOnFire tees have landed
My post-university financial situation is seemingly taking a turn for the worst (not helped by the fact that my landlord has decided to sell up rather than renew my rental contract) and there appear to be some previously unforeseen set up costs with getting FatKidOnFire off the ground. Luckily for you guys, this means I’ve decided to push things forward a few weeks…
The first run of...

FatKidOnFire BSc (hons)
Three years of no/ some/ too much work (in that order) and a combined final sum of £25,000 worth of debt summarised on one piece of paper and five, small but very important, words. It’s a Desmond, but this year is the first time I passed all of the exams in one go and it means my University career is finally done and dusted.
I’m now ready to give FatKidOnFire the full and proper...

Mixtape #5.4 - Sai x FatKidOnFire
FatKidOnFire keeping those sick tunes playing on the back of Gavin’s (of Fuck The Macro fame) sister’s iPod. Big looks all round!
Sai and the rest of the bass-loving Wobble Squad were recently interviewed for Skanks! Radio and then laid down a massive guest mix over them radio waves. If you missed it (shame on you), FatKidOnFire’s got the drop and the download for you. True to...

FatKidOnFire tees
If you’re a fan of FatKidOnFire on Facebook, or if you follow FatKidOnFire on Twitter you’ll have read about the little “movement” that happened a while back. As it happens, I’d been thinking about printing tees for a while - (in my opinion) the logo designs are strong enough, it’s good advertising for the site and, as it turns out, people seem to like the...

Interview #28 - Origin London x FatKidOnFire
Every so often, an opportunity presents itself here at FatKidOnFire HQ that is too just good to miss. This feature is an example of such an opportunity. This brand dropped their first design on their webstore less than 12 hours ago so when I say they’re super fresh you know I mean it! I have a really good feeling about these guys…

Interview #27 - Art. Daley x FatKidOnFire
It’s late Friday afternoon, the sun is shining (sort of) and it’s time for another FatKidOnFire feature before I begin this weekend’s alcoholic assault on my liver. Continuing the theme first kicked off with V.A.S. Music, this next interview is with a British hip-hop artist who pulls no punches when it comes to writing dope rhymes (pun intended). He also has a penchant for ink...

Mixtape #3.3 - Dj Scooter x FatKidOnFire
That’s FatKidOnFire keeping Dj Scooter’s records safe. Such a big look being repped by the international fam!
Tonight’s bumper update continues with another mixtape from Dj Scooter. This may be the last until tomorrow morning as it’s finally started to cool down and I was up until 4am yesterday morning. Playing the long game isn’t conducive to getting coherent...

FatKidOnFire Party #1 - Get Hype at Brixton Mass
[I’ve been listening to this track for ages, Rusko coming through with old school garage vibes! Click play whilst you read - this post’s a bit of a long one]
If you remember the Elephanto interview I wrote a few weeks back, you’ll notice I hinted on FatKidOnFire party #1. Seeing as part of the FatKidOnFire backbone is music (mainly music of teh dutty dubsteps variety),...

Interview #26 - Suffoca x FatKidOnFire
I love independent brands. FatKidOnFire is testament to that. There’s something about the D.I.Y. ethic that exemplifies everything that’s right with streetwear, or any other industry for that matter. This next brand is one close to my heart, and is a prime example of an independent brand doing it 110% right…

Mixtape #2.3 - Robin Dunne x FatKidOnFire
I’m always on the look out for new and exciting things to write about here at FatKidOnFire. As it happens, British dubstep label OpenEarz Recordings are lined up to drop their third release and to celebrate they are giving away a free tune! EARZ003 is from the hugely talented Dom Hz and is entitled the “Mist EP”. Peep the vinyl’s artwork below.
As previously stated,...

Interview #25 - Terratag x FatKidOnFire
A1 Bassline has long been a hero of mine. Back before I fell down the deep and dark rabbit hole that is the dubstep genre, it was the Djs like Christian that kept my head bopping along to their sick beats. Now this isn’t a complete non sequitur because here Christian is, repping the next brand who are gracing the front page of FatKidOnFire…
