Progressive House | Jose Gonzalez – Step Out (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 24, 2014
Since this is the first track from The Chainsmokers since the infamous American Idol incident, I feel I should share something with you guys. First, some background. I have written what feels like a million posts for them as well as interviewed them. Also, I think about them like all the time and they do the same for me I’m sure. The Chainsmokers, Drew and Alex, called me fat a year and a half ago.They’ve also called me “mrjerkalot” and, most recently, told me to “keep it wrapped”. They’re just two awesome guys and, honestly, if you hold that terrible hit song and the American Idol thing against them, then you’re just kind of a jerk.
Enough about that, onto the song. It sucks. Just kidding. It’s an official remix for Jose Gonzalez’s “Step Out”. They have kept a lot of the original intact, but gave it some festival power to match the anthemic vocals. It’s being released on iTunes in two days, the 26th of June.
Progressive House | Christopher Blake feat. Jenny Karr – White Nights
Posted by Mel on June 24, 2014
There are times when I come across a song and for a number of possible reasons, it makes me suspicious. When an individual by the name of Kathy dropped a link to a song in our chat box advertising it, in broken english, as the “song of tomorrorland”, I was expecting to be disappointed once I heard it and come back after my listen to delete the link, like I do all the submissions people put in the chat box. I actually really enjoyed the song however, and there was a pretty young lady dancing in the music video which just added to the enjoyment. After some in depth research, five or so minutes, I found that the producer of this song, Christopher Blake, not only doesn’t have a Soundcloud account, but judging by his Facebook page that was created less than a month ago, this is his first song. I am currently writing this on a Monday night, the scariest of nights, and this story only gets freakier. This song is the first single for the label behind the track, devilfish records. They have not released anything prior.
Even though this whole situation is extremely suspicious, the song is awesome. I even bought it on Beatport, something I never do, except for sometimes. If anyone has any more information on this, feel free to let me know. Until then, you can grab the song from the Beatport link below.
Deep House, Pop | Sam Smith – Stay With Me (TEFlo Summer Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 23, 2014
I’ll make this quick, because no reason. TEFlo, a Norwegian producer remixed Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” wonderfully. The tempo has been upped a tad and the addition of a bright lead takes this track to another level.

Progressive House | Steerner & Martell – Sky
Posted by Mel on June 22, 2014
When Usher and Young Jeezy joined forces in early 2008 to make the hit hip-hop classic, “Love In This Club”, the world was blown away. The melodic components of that song were what really had us hooked, similar to how the well known Steerner and the lesser known Martell hook us with their music. Martell is not as household a name as his fellow Swedish collaborator Steerner is, but if you have been following us for a little while and needed any more proof as to why FNT is one of the top 200ish music blogs in the U.S. and parts of southern Canada, we had been covering Martell for some time now, so you should be familiar. Big melodies and powerful drops are what these guys are known for and that is what this song consists of.

Electronic | No Limits – Another World
Posted by Mel on June 18, 2014
As I’ve touched upon before, usually once a day but sometimes twice, No Limits, an electronic duo from Akron, Ohio have an immense amount of talent. What is perhaps the most impressive about these guys is their versatility. They don’t stick to just one genre and each one they go to they excel in. Their latest original, “Another World”, is a mid-tempo electronic track. The vocals are surprisingly capable and are carried along by excellent drum work. There’s even some guitar throughout. No Limits are a couple of guys you should keep an eye on because, like the current economic and cultural issues facing Algeria, Africa’s largest country, there’s nothing but good on the horizon.

Progressive House | Vance Joy – Riptide (Maestro Harrell Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 18, 2014
Whenever I see a new Maestro Harrell track I sweat profusely in excitement although not really. I’m a fan of his and enjoy pretty much all of his stuff. His latest remix for Vance Joy’s “Riptide” is a higher energy track than most of his others and has great vocals and a catchy melody. Really, everything you can ask for in a progressive house track.

Electronic, Progressive House | Porter Robinson – Lionhearted (feat. Urban Cone)
Posted by Mel on June 17, 2014
It is now less than two months until “Worlds”, Porter Robinson’s next album is out and it is likely to be one of the best electronic albums in quite some time. “Lionhearted”, his newest single from that album features the vocals of the Swedish Urban Cone and, like “Sea Of Voices” and “Sad Machine“, is a step in a new direction music wise for Porter. None of the tracks released so far have much in common, aside from how great they are. Grab the song on iTunes and prepare yourself for something special on August 12th, the album’s day of release.
