In fact, it was at the 2009 <strong>Earthdance Festival<\/strong> in Laytonville, California that the group was introduced to the <strong>Crown City Rockers<\/strong> and vocalist <strong>Raashan Ahmad<\/strong>. A connection was made and a promise was spoken to collaborate. Fast forward five years to 2014 and we find Raashan adding his distinctive vocals to \u201cReady Go\u201d, the first new Fort Knox Five material we\u2019ve heard in years.<br \/>\nRaashan Ahmad\u2019s high-energy party rocking lyrics are the perfect match for Fort Knox Five\u2019s distinctive funk stylings. The lyric \u201cI live for the funk, I die for the funk, from the days of the Humpty Hump to the future\u201d sums up this tune perfectly as it blends retro g-funk vibes from the West Coast with electronic dancefloor funk from the Nation\u2019s Capital. True to form, Fort Knox Five incorporate horns and funky guitar lines throughout, so that \u201cReady Go\u201d emerges as a disco-funk dance floor jam. Fort Knox Five got two of their favorite Vancouver-based producers to remix the track, <strong>Slynk<\/strong> and <strong>Neighbour<\/strong>. Slynk, originally from Australia, incorporates bass heavy glitch hop effects to create a ghetto funk monster. Home Breakin\u2019 Records own Neighbour takes the track in a different direction, the end result being a spandex-smooth indie disco banger.<br \/>\nThis release is primed for the dancefloor, ranging in sounds from chunked out disco funk to glitch hop grooves and indie disco. This is the first single for Fort Knox Five\u2019s forthcoming new album, due out in 2015. After spending the last few years concentrating on remixing other artists and showcasing the amazing talent on their label <strong>Fort Knox Recordings<\/strong>, the group has rechanneled their energy back to creating original material collaborating with a wide array of new guest vocalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fort Knox Five&#8217;s new single &#8220;Ready Go feat.
