FC Kahuna Are Back

Machine Says Yes from FC Kahuna was one of the best albums of the last ten years, and amazingly ahead of its time. It came out on the short lived first run of the City Rockers label in 2002. After the temporary demise of the label, the album was picked up by Skint in 2003. It spanned a lot of different electronic styles, from the breezy chill-out of Hayling (video above) to the blissed out tech house of Glitterball, via the nasty stuttering of Nothing Is Wrong.

I was expecting FC Kahuna to go on to bigger and better things, to maybe take their place as the newest live electronic act on the circuit, but for some reason they just faded away after a few Skint singles and remixes (as far as I know).

So it was a pleasant surprise to hear via Alex Metric that they’re back and have been sending out new material. I’ve not heard any of it yet but I’m really looking forward to it. Anyone with any more details, pass them on!

    hello. this is dan from fc kahuna. It’s just remixes at the moment. i am balancing doing that with finishing off album number 2. I think that’s how you’ve got to do it nowadays, to keep and build a bit of momentum. If you want me to send you copies of the mixes, get in touch. My email is on the myspace site
