KNOBS & SWITCHES EP
12 Inch
10.04.18
originally released on anthony shakirs frictional recordings in 97, fbks knobs & switches is set to drop on rekids newly launched re-issue label r-time records. since his debut fbk has had a prolific career spanning a number of decades, releasing on rekids, barba records, and the now defunct diametric. this release follows on from the sir lord comixx re-issue, giving classic tracks the acknowledgement they didnt initially get first time round. the release starts with the robust kicks and stuttering hats of rollin on 6/4 as murky notes make their way into the mix, making way for the sci-fi inspired synths and infectious claps of reservations & misgivings. packed with fast paced drums, feedback employs a sultry bassline and euphoric harmonies until skipping percussion and echoing effects conclude the package in the tet offensive.

12 Inch
19.04.17
rekids introduces a new vinyl only series titled rekids special projects. a more techno orientated division of the label that will feature appearances from the likes of john hester, markus suckut, and dj deep amongst others. first up is ohio-based producer fbk, real name kevin m. kennedy, who has a career spanning three decades and after a seminal release on frictional recordings back in the 90 s recent releases have seen him appear on labels such as marcel dettmann records, barba records and diametric. intricate drums and jagged synths initiate you are not fixed whilst a looped sample recurs throughout the mix. ‘dynamonium’ then enters deeper territories as echoing stabs join a low slung meandering groove before set it free ups the energy with rumbling kicks, distorted vocal murmurs and tantalizing melodies. the final escape then closes the release with a syncopated drum arrangement, mesmerising chords and ethereal atmospherics

SCREAMING HER NAME
12 Inch
11.02.16
all three original tracks are long building, big room, grooving stompers with a lot of emotions that would fit in various sets pretty much at any time. to keep things entirely d footed, the legend, the man of weird, beautiful, unique and reduced techno world - terrence dixon rounds things up with his hypnotic re-interpretation of title track.

THE EXPERT ESCAPIST
12 Inch
03.09.10
kevin m. kennedy aka fbk is escaping. escaping from the everyday struggles of life in columbus, ohio, usa. one of his escape routes is his music and when you listen to his tracks you can feel why. his music is emotional to the core, no matter if its powerful and heavily funky techno such as >flying hybrids< or dark and sinister straight electro like >chosen path<. every single sound and rhythm is pure fbk and will cause a frenzy on the dancefloor. having released on shakes frictional label as fbk and on detroit based label xplor as the sleep engineer, kevin is not a newbie in the techno circus. diametric. is proud to release the first new record from the expert escapist since 1997. why he remained below the radar for so many years is a mystery. fbk will have further upcoming releases on frictional soon. no digital distribution. limited to 320 handnumbered copies. save the vinyl.

featured: four bona fide artists, accomplished and historically rooted deeply in the underground. drivetrain (detroit, usa) – take your time…a grove which the dance floor simply cannot deny. derrick thompson unleashes a bewitching bass line atop a relentlessly galvanizing drum track. flavorful female vocal samples raise the energy to maximum capacity. black jack (aberdeen, scotland) – “the earth grid”…moving just a little deeper, the melody of rich chords and pads guide the constant pulsating bass with effeminate whispers chanting through the occasional twisting synth refrain. fbk (columbus, usa) – “his brief moment of clarity”…boosting the tempo just a tad, a herculean debut production which intelligently punches and stabs dynamic waves of rhythmic sound patterns of perpetual electronic motion. rob belleville (soest, netherlands) – brightened horizon…a first offering on soiree records, spontaneously spotlighting late night ambiance. percussions swing to the bounce of the bass riff as the keyboards chime the infectious theme. -rooted and grounded deep-
