Progressive House | Live CIty – Chakra
Posted by Middy on November 30, 2013
Taken from their upcoming two-track “Bambada” EP, Live City release their single “Chakra” as a free download. Making their debut on The Disco Fries imprint, Liftoff Recordings, the duo have found the ideal balance between free tracks and beatport releases to keep fans loyal and happy. The track is bouncy and percussive, a style not unfamiliar to them, and becoming more popular at the moment. We are still waiting for their monstrous remix of Robert Delong’s “Global Concepts” with Tommie Sunshine. Grab the free download now before the EP releases on 12/7.

Progressive House | Arias – Viirgo
Posted by Middy on November 28, 2013
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. May your hangover quickly subside and you be ready for some football and the best meal of the year. One of my favorites putting out tracks in 2013, Frenchman Arias is back with another great celestial themed original “Viirgo”. Arias builds on the sound he has crafted in 2013 that is uniquely his own, while still evolving in the framework of driving, progressive melodies that make his tracks so special. The preview is only a minute long, but the picture is very clear on the quality of the track in that minute.

Exclusive, House | Marcus Jakes – Up To Me [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on November 27, 2013
Cardiff native, Marcus Jakes is new to the house scene, but he has already made an impression on big names in the UK with releases on Ministry of Sound and Black Butter Recordings. Markus Jakes brings the track together with funky rhythms, poignant synth stabs and an infectious vocal that gives the track a throwback feel to the formative days of house music. “Up To Me” will be out on December 16th with “Stop The Talking” via Jalapeño Records, so stream the track as often as you want here until December 16th. With 2013 almost in the rierview mirror, he looks to use this two track selection to help catapult him to greater heights in the new year.
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Showtek Talk The “Art” Of DJing, Terrible Shows, Basketball And More [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Middy on November 26, 2013
In conjunction with our presenting their Showtek Essentials a few weeks back, we have an interview with Dutch masters, Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen, known to you as Showtek. Their move from Hardstyle to Showtek-styled electro house in the past few has been well chronicled, starting with productions alongside Tiësto and Marcel Woods, like “Maximal Crazy” and then really breaking out with their own collabs and originals like “Hell Yeah”, “How We Do”, “Cannonball” and most recently “Booyah“. I would argue that besides W&W, only Maarten Vorwerk (unwittingly, the most famous ghost producer out there) has helped sculpt the festival-oriented dance music landscape as much as Showtek. They do not waste a single production, and live bring that energy to you every night.
During our interview we cover everything DJing, which they say “Their mum could do it”, their productions, past and future, bad shows, their love for basketball and much more. Head past the break to get to know the Janssen brothers a little better and stream the remixes for “Booyah” while you read.
Preview, Progressive House | Adrian Lux & Marcus Schossow – Wild Child (Mysto & Pizzi And Moiez Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on November 26, 2013
On the heels of his first Cr2 Records release “City On A Hill“, Moiez was called in by NYC producers, Mysto & Pizzi to help them out with this remix for Adrian Lux & Marcus Schossow’s recent single “Wild Child. The original has been a big hit for Adrian Lux & Marcus Schossow this fall, crossing over into trance and house realms. The three of them give the track a slight big room spin with clear trance influences, while still keeping elements of the original. Look for this December 20th on Ultra Records.
Exclusive, Progressive House | Krewella – We Are One (Sevag Area-201 Remix) [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Middy on November 25, 2013
Krewella are no stranger to remixes, with their first worldwide smash single “Alive” seeing remixes and edits from just every corner of every genre. Their recent album “Get Wet” provides many more opportunities for over-remixing, however this sea of mediocrity allows certain gems from big and small names alike to stand out.
In steps New Jersey native and Mister East resident Sevag, who adds his own on one of the festival friendly selection from Krewella’s album “We Are One”. Sevag keeps festival friendly feel of the original, making sure to highlight Yasmine and Jahan’s vocals, but adds his own percussive flare to give it more bounce. Grab it for free below and check out his socials for more from him.

Electro-House | Thomas Newson – Pallaroid
Posted by Middy on November 23, 2013
Consider this a reminder for your Saturday night. Thomas Newson is going to be one of the next big things in dance music with his track “Flute” rocking clubs and the charts and now “Pollaroid”. The internet is buzzing after Hardwell revealed that he ghost produced a top 10 track, though it wasn’t totally clear at what point it was in the top 10, and people were speculating it was this one. My money is on Partysquad & Mitchell Niemeyer “#Pantsdown”, which was in the top 10 very recently, Hardwell’s name was attached to it and the guys have been rumored to use ghost producers.
