Progressive House | Moiez “Wild Child” & “Mastadon” Remixes
Posted by Middy on December 22, 2013
Moiez had a flurry of remixes released over the past few days and I am here to catch you up on them. His remix with NYC duo Mysto & Pizzi combines trance and big room elements with a few Pryda snares, giving the track an upbeat makeover. Like the Louis The Child remix, he was also part of the free remix package for Milk N Cookies’ single “Mastadon”, adding a different take on the song. “Mastadon” features outstanding female vocals that suits his sound so well, as he builds an uplifting synth melody around the vocal. Still a college student, Moiez is beholden to the rigors of his class schedule, but now that his semester is over, you can expect plenty of new music to be made in the next month or so.

Electro | Eekkoo – Eekkoo EP
Posted by Middy on December 22, 2013
Hailing from Montreal, the Canadian producer releases a three track EP on the only label that seems fit for his music, deadmau5’s mau5trap. Eekkoo provides a wide variety of plucks, piano stabs and distorted synths over a common theme of fat bass lines, creating a hypnotic piece of dance music from start to finish. While it may be considered a bit close to “deadmau5 style”, Eekkoo has his own sound that has earned the praise of the big boss himself.

Progressive House | London Grammar – Strong (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 21, 2013
Coming off of their EP on The Disco Fries’ label “Lift Off Recordings”, NYC duo Live City return to the hallmark in free downloads, with a remix of London Grammar’s “Strong”. Ethan & Jake add a nice progressive spin on the track with fluttering key play over a subtle bed of electro growls, that take full advantage of London Grammar’s soaring vocals. London Grammar have really exploded this year with their debut EP, “Metal & Dust” in February, and then the full length album in September that has left fans speechless and given producers plenty of material to remix.

Exclusive, Featured, House | FNT Premiere: Milkwish – Super Life
Posted by Middy on December 19, 2013
We have another exclusive stream for you during the holiday season, this time presenting the first track from Polish house and nu-disco producer, Milkwish’s upcoming EP. His tunes have garnered support from industry heavyweights like Chuckie and Roger Sanchez and cross genre lines between groovy house music and funky, disco influenced tunes. “Super Life” is an incredibly funky nu-disco track with bright synths and just the right amount of glitchy elements to separate it from similar tracks. “Super Life” will come out as part Milkwish’s two track “French Romance” EP on January 6th. Stream it in full here exclusively until it is released next year.
