Fox Fire Records Completes Full Remastering of Music Catalog

Through the visionary leadership of our CEO, Monty Floyd, and the dedication of our TIPP Sound Engineer interns, Fox Fire Records has successfully completed one of its most ambitious undertakings to date. We are proud to announce that we have fulfilled our promissory commitment to remaster and restore a vast catalog of music, much of which dates back to the pre-COVID-19 era (2017-2019), and was originally recorded under substandard conditions by the previous label, Monkey Paw Music.

This monumental achievement would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our sound engineering team. A special shout-out goes to Craig Washington, one of our TIPP Sound Engineer interns, who has recently been hired by a major recording studio—a testament to the talent and expertise cultivated within our program.

The Journey to Restoration & Profitability

From day one, we promised to clean up this music—whether through re-recording or remastering—bring it to market, and, most importantly, make it profitable for the artists. Today, we can proudly declare: Mission Accomplished.

Key Achievements:

✅ Fully remastered ALL Wicked Beats album tracks (Volumes I–IV).

✅ Fully remastered and re-recorded Allie Cat's debut album, Vendetta ReIgnited.

✅ Partially remastered half of ACRE's debut album, Defend the Faith.

What's Next for ACRE?

Our staff anticipates having the entire Defend the Faith album fully remastered by the end of March. ACRE is then expected to return to the studio in April to begin work on their highly anticipated third album. Originally set for an Easter 2025 release, setbacks due to the intensive remastering process and undisclosed personal matters within the band have pushed the release back to early summer 2025.

The Monkey Paw Music Curse Continues

Despite the label's collapse due to inept leadership and poor decision-making, the legacy of Monkey Paw Music still casts a shadow over Fox Fire Records. We remain contractually obligated to use the same substandard recording studio—owned by one of Monkey Paw's former executives—until December 31, 2027. This constraint means we cannot yet guarantee full Dolby Atmos quality, though we estimate our production will reach 80-90% Dolby quality under these conditions.

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Once we are free from this contractual burden, FLOCO has committed to establishing a state-of-the-art recording and production studio in Central Florida between 2028 and 2030. This future headquarters will serve as the epicenter for Fox Fire Records, Vulpine Publishing, and future animation, prop, wardrobe, social media, and film production initiatives.

Looking Ahead: Company-Wide Shutdown for Retooling & Expansion

Once ACRE's remastering is completed and all digital copies have been successfully updated across major platforms (Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, etc.), Fox Fire Records, along with Vulpine Publishing will undergo a temporary company-wide shutdown from late March through late Summer 2025.

During this period, we will:

• Focus on much-needed retooling and reequipping. Because of deadline we have been piece milling and duck taping things together to meet deadlines. We have had ZERO time to fix, repair, or innovate.

  
  

• Launch official merchandise and website upgrades. We have been trying to get this off the ground since last Christmas.

  
  

• Enhance our social media presence to all FLOCO properties (add a possible Discord Server, ensure that all artists have official outlets to interact with fans, photoshoots, video interviews, and basic pressers).

  
  

• Provide a much-deserved breather for our hardworking teams. Everyone from the top down is worn out and burned out. A nice long break before diving back into some much needed housekeeping items is long overdue.
