Fort Knox Five DJ Set @ 1885 Video http://bit.ly/g3jUcT

The Regrooved crew are going all out this time to kick off 2011 - here's an artist we simply couldn't turn down. Alongside a second international we can't mention here, we bring you an act widely regarded the world's number one modern funk collective - FORT KNOX FIVE. Their list of collaborators, remixers and fans speaks for itself making them a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene, with props from the likes of the legendary Afrika Bambaata, remixes for Bob Marley, Louis Armstrong and A Skillz&Krafty Kuts. Having released an arsenal of floor rocking singles and remixes, the FORT KNOX FIVE has the midas touch for producing heavy hitting records. When Splore city finishes on Saturday night, there's only one place to be for your fix - 2 supreme internationals, and a huge local lineup at Auckland's newish plush venue over three levels, 1885 Britomart.
