Progressive House | Passenger – Let Her Go (Filtercrush Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 4, 2013
Filtercrush, having had their edit of “Show Me Love” picked up by Tiësto and played out live, look to capitalize on that momentum with another strong remix of Passenger’s “Let Her Go”. Surprisingly, Passenger are a band that do not get many remixes, even though they seem very malleable for a dance music makeover. NYC duo, Filtercrush add their own spin on the track with a big, emotive melody and punchy drums, making it perfect for their live sets.

Electro-House, Exclusive, Trance | Bastian Salbart – Run! [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on December 4, 2013
Polish producer, Bastian Salbart is still quite a fresh face to the industry, but having been snatched up by the reputable trance record label, High Contrast Recordings, you can expect that all to change sooner, rather than later. “Run!”, much like his other productions, treads the line between trance and electro, integrating the best of both worlds, with interesting melodies and hard electro elements. This type of genre-melding dance music is great to see when some artists sometimes get pigeonholed into one category or sound. You can stream the song in full below exclusively here on FNT until it is released on December 9th, via High Contrast Recordings. Early support coming in from a few small names like Armin van Buuren, Sied van Riel and Rank 1. Make sure you follow Bastian as he continues to impress with his unique sound.
DJ-Set, Exclusive, Progressive House | EDX – No Xcuses 144 (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by Middy on December 3, 2013
The flag bearer for Swiss house, EDX has become synonymous with a soothing, progressive sound that is such a refresher when songs are simply louder and louder these days. He has had a very good year, garnering remixes for the likes of Calvin Harris and Avicii, while adding several strong originals and collaborations to his already stellar back catalog.
His weekly radio show, “No Xcuses” provides an outlet for his own original releases, while also supporting his favorite tunes from others at the moment. This episode has a strong Swiss flavor, drawing not only on his own tracks, but others from Nora en Pure, Leventina, and Dave202. He matches that with the best house tracks of the moment from the likes of Hardwell, Dirty South and Sick Individuals.
Generally in the radio shows of big name DJs there are a few unreleased tracks, but it is rare to see the percentage in this mix. You will find not just one, two or even three world premiers, there are 4, yes 4 WORLD PREMIERS in this radio show. So buckle up and get ready to hear some brand new music from EDX and his friends. Tracklist after the jump.
Electro-House | MAKJ & Henry Fong – Encore
Posted by Middy on December 2, 2013
MAKJ & Henry Fong both had very successful releases on Hysteria Records this summer, “Springen” and “Jump” respectively, so it makes sense for both of them to return to the label that has been so instrumental to the growth of their careers. 2013 has been outstanding for the two of them and it is fitting that they team up on a track. Blaring horns carry over a churning bass line and gritty electro beats, with a vocal that won’t let you keep your hands at your sides. Henry Fong has his remix of “Without You” coming on the 10th and MAKJ has his remix for Nervo’s “Not Taking This No More” coming on Friday, so December is only getting started for them.

Albums, House, Videos | Dance (RED) Album + Live Stream
Posted by Middy on December 1, 2013
Last year (RED) partnered with Tiësto and Stereosonic to bring an album filled with the best tracks of the year. This time around, the 24-track album features almost entirely new music for the measly price of $9.99 with some dance music’s best, and for a great cause. The album has new tracks from the likes of Dada Life, DallasK, Popeska, Pierce Fulton, Tommy Trash, Felix Cartal, Candyland and much more. My sleeper pick from the album is Eric Prydz’s edit of Deadmau5’s “The Veldt” that he made for his US last summer and some how managed to sneak onto the album with little, to no fanfare. Don’t pirate the album, ALL proceeds go to charity. It’s world AIDS day, consider it your contribution. Kind of late on the live stream, but at this very moment Above & Beyond are streaming their set, so tune in for that. The sets will replay, so you can watch that throughout the day.

Trap | Madeon – Technicolor (Grandtheft Edit)
Posted by Middy on November 30, 2013
Grandtheft just hit 50k fans on Facebook, so he decided to give away this very tasty freebie. He has become known for his remixing prowess, notably alongside Diplo, or on Mad Decent itself. Generally Madeon songs are best left alone, but here Grandtheft does just enough to make it a viable trap remix, while still keeping the genius of the original in tact.
