FKJ Vinyl & CDs

Review: French neo-soul artist FKJ shares his long-awaited live sessions record, a combination of 11 recordings laid down at various locations between 2022-2023, during the heartthrob's most recent global tour. Kicking things off with a soulful, classically-tinged intro live from Coachella with 'Lying Together', before moving into the live, electronica-jazz menageries of 'Madison Special' (at The Sylvee) and 'Ylang Ylang' (MTLEUS, Montreal), this collection offers fans a sonic floating timeline; despite these being recorded in many different locations across the globe, FKJ brings much the same vibe to each, conveying a one-man mood, not lost wherever the man himself goes.

Review: FKJ's glossy brand of instrumental funk and soul has reached many a great height, so now it's high time we looked back on the artist's roots. 'French Kiwi Juice' was his first album, showing off the artist's incredible multi-instrumental chops. Super-sweet yet also tart sonic juices from the Franco-New Zealander, returning to this exclusive vinyl pressing.

Review: Acclaimed French DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist with FKJ has long been a favourite amongst lovers of jazz, soul and broken beat. His first album French Kiwi Juice from back in 2017 took us deeper than ever into his unique world and along the way he paid homages to his inspirations with a real sense of musical maturity. It is a warm, sensuous place to be even now with elements of contemporary jazz, synth-pop, nu-disco, funk and more all taken in and churned out. This limited edition reissue is well worth picking up.

Review: Vincent Fenton's FKJ project has been a delight to melt away in since first appearing some time back in 2013. His body of work has been measured but meaningful since then, with just his self-titled album to his name aside from a scattered selection of singles. The last we heard from the French artist was the Ylang Ylang EP, released in 2019 digitally on Mom + Pop. Given the EP's warm reception, FKJ has decided to put out a vinyl edition himself, and truth be told his smoky, soulful blend is perfectly suited to wax.
