Fas Fwd Entertainments is an independent, Brixton (South
London) based record label. The label was started in 1994 with
a game plan to record and release material that truly reflects
the sound of urban London & the UK as seen by the artistes
contributing their songs to the label.
MCs,
DeeJays, Singers and Poets local to Brixton have used the label
as a platform for the rehearsal and development of their skills.
The culmination of the last 7 years has been the phenomenon known
as The 57th Dynasty, whose
critically acclaimed debut album Spoken Word (ff006) has been
selling consistently since its release in March '99. fas fwd directed
the strategy that put the Dynasty on the street, from Brixton
to Birmingham at first, then Bologna, Torino, Havana, Helsinki
- all organised by fas fwd without the help or hindrance of major
label or any other kind of support.
All 8 members of The 57th Dynasty play a part in the running of
fas fwd. From the links on the street, to the shows, to producing
and manufacturing product, to designing street campaigns and mailing
deejays, to press and pr and artiste development
.
The knowledge behind fas fwd's successful street promotions strategy
comes from the passing down throughout the members of The 57th
Dynasty the lessons learned in the game at street level over
the last ten plus years - from the reggae foundation on the street
in the 80s, all the way thru the changing styles of the 90s to
the present - fas fwd was born on the street, and grew thru these
times - the key is INDEPENDENCE.
