Progressive House | The Chainsmokers vs. Tove Lo – Habits
Posted by Mel on January 7, 2014
With their latest remix of Tove Lo’s “Habits”, The Chainsmokers wanted to find the middle ground between the bass heavy, hardstyle kick filled festival tracks that we all love even though they all sound the same, and the more typical progressive sound that they are accustomed to. They successfully did that by having multiple distinct drops that incorporate both of those sounds. The drops progress into one another creating an interesting, dynamic track while fulfilling their desire to explore the festival realm. They’ve released a very large number of tracks in the past year so it’s hard to rank them but I would say this is one of their better ones.

Electro | DVBBS & Borgeous – Tsunami (Jay Cosmic Remix)
Posted by Mel on January 6, 2014
While I’m generally not one for hardstyle, UK native Jay Cosmic dropped his remix of the festival hit “Tsunami” earlier and it is incredibly good. The song starts cinematically after the brief intro and then builds and drops with the melody from the original, but then strays from the original and gets even better in the second half of the song. I am obviously terrible at describing hardstyle tracks but if you are a fan of the genre this is definitely one to check out.

Electronic, House | Uppermost – Reminder
Posted by Mel on January 1, 2014
It appears as though I, Mel, am going to be providing you guys with FNT’s first post of the year. This is a big honour because, well, first off, nobody else wanted to do it. Don’t worry though everyone, I was here for you and jumped at the opportunity when I realized I was pretty bored and really had nothing else to do.
The song that will be ringing in the new year here at FNT is provided by Frenchman Uppermost. “Reminder” is a french house track infused with some nu disco vibes. It features a funky guitar as well as nicely done vocal chops. Well, I have met and some might even say surpassed my quota of talking about the song at three sentences so I will just leave it at that. Uppermost is an outstanding producer and if you like this track there is plenty more on his Soundcloud.

Progressive House | Magnus & Timon – Kepler, Onyx, Kick Out The Epic MotherF**Ker Remix
Posted by Mel on December 25, 2013
Two of the many people giving away tracks for Christmas is the French duo Magnus & Timon. Up until a couple of months ago, they had not released a track all year but since then they have now released six. I am a huge fan of these guys so this gives me great pleasure. The kind of pleasure only two French men can give to another man. Two originals and one remix is what they have given away and all of them are good, but the two originals are great. “Kepler”, the melodic one, and “Onyx”, the more hard hitting one are both lacking in vocals but they don’t need them, they are both outstanding songs on their own. Their Dada Life remix is good as well but the other two clearly stand above it.

Progressive House | Archie – Loving You
Posted by Mel on December 24, 2013
I have never really been a fan of Archie because for a while, all his songs sounded the same (they even used the same synths). Although, I must admit that when I clicked play on this 2 minute and 51 second song, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love. I did though, Archie got me. Two years ago, I was punched in the stomach by a girl. It was an amazing experience. She had been texting me for like a week, maybe a week and a half and I was clearly not interested (she was kinda heavy). One day at lunch we passed each other in the hall and she just hit me. My mind was blown quite honestly. It didn’t hurt because I mean she’s a girl and the whole thing was actually pretty hot looking back on it.
The infatuation I imagine that girl had for me is what I have for “Loving You”, Archie’s latest song. I know it lacks substance and is extremely short and is not really a progressive house song but ever since I first heard it an hour ago, I can’t stop listening to it. The cheesy vocals are extremely catchy and it makes for such a feel good track.

Progressive House | Axel Bless & Swanson Vs. Urban Cone – Kings & Queens (True Love Mix)
Posted by Mel on December 24, 2013
Swanson has had many previous appearances on FNT but this time he is joined by Axel Bless, a 20 year old producer from the UK. These two have put their own progressive house spin on the swedish pop band Urban Cone’s “Kings & Queens” and they did it well.

Progressive House | LarsM feat. Mona Moua – Air
Posted by Mel on December 23, 2013
The two words “oh wow” when said together by a short, yet kinda tall blond girl, or anybody really, will always make me smile and think back to an awesome thing that transpired in my life that is now forever associated with those special words (it’s not a sexual thing I swear (it is)). I didn’t audibly say those two words but I definitely thought them when I first heard the powerful melody in the build of this song. LarsM, a 19 year old Polish producer who has a vast catalogue of past releases, of which most are free, is known for his (hold on, I’m going to reach into my bulging sack of overused blogger adjectives) “happy” sounding tracks. To say that he is on the same level as Avicii when it comes to catchy melodies might be a bit of a stretch, but he is not far behind. “Air”, his latest original, features the impressive vocals of Mona Moua and boasts an incredibly euphoric melody and drop. I have also included his older song “Earthlike” because it is one of his best tracks and it showcases his ability to create those outstanding melodies.
