'First Take Then Shake' is the 11th studio album from F.S.K. and their first on DISKO B. In the more than 20 years of their existence F.S.K. (the initials stand for Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, which translates to English as "voluntary self-control") have travelled a musical journey from new wave to country and then deeper intoelectronic, post-rock and post-electronica.In 2003 they went to Uphon Studio, Weilheim with engineer MARIO THALER (THE NOTWIST, TIED & TICKLED TRIO)for the fourth time and recorded a mix of instrumentals and lyric based songs. The rough mixes of these songs were sent to the Detroit-based Afro-American techno / house legend ANTHONY 'SHAKE' SHAKIR, who flew to Munich with his sampler putting the final touches on 'First Take Then Shake'. Often described as sounding similar to oufits like THE MEKONS and CRACKER as well as being cited as a big influence for THE RAPTURE and CHICKS ON SPEED.
