about
10 tracks that blend old FCS with new FCS, live energy, Japanese hip hop, 303 & more vocals. Produced with the dance floor in mind. This direct follow-up to the 2004 fcssa EP continues their energetic style of inspired drumming, rolling low bass, funky italo guitars & clipped synths. Being both a production trio and live band has its merits. "One day you're playing a show, the next day you're remixing it" says Joshua, referring to Arc - the first song and single from 'Say Go'. It starts with the slow rumble of overdriven synths and a tight beat, securing its intentions to be played loud. After the vocals and bass drops, you're hooked. 'When I hear a track, I want to listen to it in my car and then go buy it in vinyl' Andy notes. Arc finishes up with a classic breakdown that Jamie Principle would be proud of. 'Say Go' might come as a surprise to long time FCS North fans. There are vocals, the kick drum will ruin your speakers and the keyboards, no longer ambient, might threaten your stereo. But whether you're breaking a sweat or listening with headphones the rhythm, groove and epic songs are all still here. Their method of cut-up playing and samples continues to push forward. Andy Sells and Joshua Warren started FCS North in 1997. Mune Yamakawa moved to Seattle from Tokyo, JP and has been playing/producing with Sells and Warren since 2001. Members of FCS have spent time in satisfact, united schach corporation, DJ’d as AMS + Mugfrosty & FSCS. User-contributed text is avail
