PICK OF THE WEEK: Fort Knox Five vs Thunderball – Friday, February 22nd – The Shelter, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: Fort Knox Five is laying down some of the funkiest beats on the scene right now. Their updated 70’s electro funk sound is straight out of our nation’s capital and they are is sure to get you moving. They have been featured on all sorts of lounge and dance compilations and recently remixed the Bob Marley tunes “Duppy Conqueror” and “Soul Shakedown Party” for the first authorized Bob Marley remix album, Roots, Rock, Remixed.

In contrast, Fort Knox Five’s Electro Lounge alter ego, Thunderball, have been expertly crafting cinematic, dub-laden compositions full of intrigue, effortlessly changing tempos between D&B, breakbeat and downtempo for the last 12 years. Thunderball draw from their love of ‘60s cinema, Brazilian beats and Afro funk rhythms, to create explosive soundscapes designed for modern spy chases and late night encounters.

This performance will feature Steve “Raskal” Raskin from Thunderball & Fort Knox Five and Jon “JonH” Horvath from Fort Knox Five DJing together on 4 turntables and 2 mixers doing their brand of live remixes. With the intimate confines of The Shelter as the venue, and the beats of these two Funk and Electro Lounge wizards keeping the dancefloor packed, Friday night has the night has the makings for one sultry and sweaty dance party. It is their first time performing in Denver and we’ve got to show them the love if we want them to return!
