Progressive House | Project 46 ft. Matthew Steeper – No One (Marcus Santoro Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on September 2, 2013
Just in time for the release of his second single on Neon Records, Marcus Santoro is back with another great bootleg that he is giving away for free. His previous bootleg of their early hit “Feel The Fire” was the first work I heard of his so it was of no surprise when I saw he remixed another track of theirs. In his typical fashion, he kept a portion of the original intact by retaining some of the original chords, but also added his own touch of large sounds and a nice bass during the drop to make it uniquely his.
Here’s a preview of his new single released today in collaboration with Apocalypto. Not really my thing, but maybe you’ll find a liking to it.

Chill, Indie, Progressive House | Ianick – Run Out of Steam + Color World
Posted by Mel on August 28, 2013
Ianick is a 20 year old producer from Norway and this is his big debut on FNT. He has been relatively quiet in terms of releases for quite some time now but he has made up for it with a slew of new tunes today. He is primarily a progressive house producer, but the two tracks that stood out to me were of the slower, atmospheric progressive type. “Run Out of Steam” is the extra that didn’t make it onto his Nostalgia EP and is free for you to enjoy. It is the more easy going track of the two I’ve chosen and was a nice surprise to come across. I had only heard of his commercial stuff before this, and it was good, but after listening to this it shows that he is capable of producing outside of that comfort zone.

“Color World” is actually a cut off his EP and therefore is not free. Sorry. I gave the EP a listen and this is my favorite song off of it so I figured it was worth sharing anyway. It is more upbeat and fun than the previous track, providing a nice contrast between two well executed styles.

Progressive House | Teqq vs Alive&Kicking – Mistake
Posted by Mel on August 26, 2013
Teqq and Alive&Kicking are both producers who I don’t know much about. Teqq is from Germany and Alive&Kicking is American as far as I can tell. That’s really all I know. W8, back in the day when he was into this genre first shared Teqq with me and I have been keeping an eye on him since. “Mistake”, his latest release is in collaboration with the aforementioned Alive&Kicking and I think his best work yet.

Progressive House | John Legend – All of Me (Tony Takeover Remix)
Posted by Mel on August 15, 2013
I am not going to pretend that I’m a fan of John Legend and prior to hearing this remix, I’m pretty sure that I haven’t heard any of his songs. With that said, I spent a very brief amount of time looking him up and apparently he’s a fairly big deal. The original is still unknown to me but I don’t care because this remix is just so good. The 10 minute instrumental is absolutely wonderful itself and paired with the soothing vocals of the guy I probably should have known it just makes it that much better. Tony Takeover is a new name to me but if he keeps making tracks like this then he might become a regular around here.

Progressive House | Fenech-Soler – Last Forever (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on August 13, 2013
When I close my eyes at night I see two things — Drew Taggart’s hair and that overweight black lady in the McDonalds drive thru who called me “honey” two years ago. I’ll never forget you Shaquanda. As for Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, they have just released another free remix. While I may joke around when I post their music and in that interview I did with them, I feel I should take a second to be serious. These two, as The Chainsmokers, have without a doubt been the best injection into the house scene that anyone could have asked for. They can make a gritty track, an upbeat indie-house track, and they have been known to do a more progressive song from time to time. They have done this all without falling into the trap of producing generic songs that all sound the same, as most producers do (except for you Avicii, I love you man). Not many people can get over a million collective plays on Soundcloud in only five or so months which just shows how great they are. So, without any further delay, I present to you their new progressive remix to Fenech-Soler’s “Last Forever”. This is my favorite production of theirs in a while and highly suggest everybody except for that waitress who put a dirty slice of lemon in my iced tea a few weeks ago to take a listen; she doesn’t deserve it.

Progressive House | The Fray – How To Save A Life (Kian Sang Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on August 6, 2013
Let’s just say, for instance, you are a 15 year old girl. Naturally, there will be a few things you enjoy very much: The Biebs, obviously, wearing leggings even though you clearly don’t yet have the body for it (soon though, soon), thinking you have a shot with older guys and asking them to drive you places and, most importantly, you are a fan of the long dismantled SHM (though you can’t name any of the individual members), Zedd (yet you suspiciously only know one song of his), and Avicii. Kian Sang, not a name a 15 year old girl would know but he was actually one of the official collaborators in Avicii’s masterpiece “X You”. His melody was chosen and can be seen at the 1:40 mark of the video. He has also remixed The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” magnificently. I was just 11 when the original came out and therefore only vaguely remember it. Though I feel as though if you do remember it, even if you didn’t enjoy it, that you will enjoy this version. This remix has made it into my ultra exclusive iTunes library so that should tell you how good this is.
