Fools Forest, also known as “FOFO”, is a label owned and managed by
Fabian Kempe, aka
Ultraform, and his friends. The label is from Sweden and was set up in 2008, though the label had been in discussions since many years back.
The music of Fools Forest can be classified as a very emotional, both hard and light yet deep sound. There is a lot of variation in genres as well, ranging from the hardest trance to the deepest wobbling drum 'n' bass basslines or into the magical and delightful sound of ambient.
Fools Forest uses variable catalog numbers in the format [FOFO + sublabel + number], where each sublabel stands for a certain type of style:
•
X is for the lovers of hardtrance and techtrance music but also for people that are generally into harddance and all of its subgenres.
•
Y is the main part for broken beats, wobbly basslines and dark atmospheres. This is where drum 'n' bass and dubstep meet up as one.
•
Z contains all elements for the more chilled evening but even here it can sometimes move into really hard beats just as it can go in the complete opposite direction as well.
•
V is probably the most silent part of Fools Forest but they say silence is loud. Here ambient, IDM and also film score music will tell their own language.
Another interesting aspect of Fools Forest is that all releases are given out for free at their homepage.
With its different 'sublabels' X,Y,Z and V the label offers a great diversity of genres/styles.
"X is for the lovers of hardtrance and techtrance music but also for people that are generally into harddance and all it’s subgenres."
"Y is the main part for broken beats, wobbly basslines and dark atmospheres. This is were drum n bass and dubstep meet up as one."
"Z contains all elements for the more chilled evning but even here it can sometimes move into really hard beats just as it can go in the totally other direction aswell."
"V is probably the most silent part of Fools Forest but they say silence is loud. Here ambient, idm and also filmscore music will tell its own language."
Furthermore, you can find a lot of very experimental tracks with a unique sound as FOFO is basically a big playground for Fabian Kempe and his friends to fool around and realize their musical ideas.
