Albums | FNT Premiere: Moveltraxx’s “Tecnica” & “Aquafina”
Posted by Nick on January 22, 2014
I want to introduce you all to Moveltraxx, a Paris-based label that is by no means afraid to push the envelope on music: to test and stimulate its audience with a variety of styles and genres. Today, FNT was lucky enough to get the chance to premiere two tracks from their upcoming compilation “DMP6” that showcases the talent of their international caliber artists.
The first record is Ezekiel’s “Tecnica,” an original trap track with a quasi-Latin spin on it, and the second is “Aquafina” by DJ Tim Dolla, which showcases a fresh, unique sound design that just makes you want to get up and move – if you’re looking for something to slap on your way home from work and/or school today, you’ve found your winners.
DMP6 drops on January 28, so be on the lookout for a download, or pre-order on Juno.
Moombahton | Making Movies – Lo Que Quiero (Secret Sauce Remix)
Posted by Nick on January 18, 2014
Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been digging a lot of the more popular genre choices by artists today. With that in mind though, there are a lot of styles I really wish would make a comeback – especially Moombahton. Hot out of the studio with a remix of Making Movies’ “Lo Que Quiero,” the homies over at Secret Sauce have begun their own quest in raising the Dave Nada-inspired sound from the dead; and they seem to have done a pretty damn good job, knocking out a chilled track with clean reggaeton vibes. Shout out to our friends at Do Androids Dance for snagging the exclusive on this one – looks like we missed out.
Chill | Sango ft. SPZRKT – Middle Of Things, Beautiful Wife (Stwo Remix)
Posted by Nick on January 17, 2014
I cannot even begin to express how much I feel everyone needs to jump on the Stwo wagon – like right now. As one of the keystone pioneers of a new realm of sound design, in addition to being a visionary of the future garage vibe, this Paris-based musician can not and will not stop throwing down quality track, after quality track. Check out his newest release, up for free download, a remix of producer Sango and vocalist SPZRKT’s chilled-out “Middle of Things.” If at any point you need a slightly funky, down-tempo track to spin on this fine, Friday night, you’ve found it. Like this guy on Facebook or something: you’ll want to stay updated.

Trap | Drake – Trophies (D!RTY AUD!O Bootleg)
Posted by Nick on January 15, 2014
Contrary to what the weather has been telling us out here in California, it is not Summer yet, and so, that means it is not festival season yet either; however, put on D!rty Aud!o’s new (free) bootleg of Drake’s “Trophies” and you’ll wish it was. Even if you hate to admit it, you know Drake’s lyrics get you going: now add D!rty’s hard 808 kicks & unique sound design, and you’ve got something that will have everyone going absolutely crazy. Doesn’t matter if they’re out in the crowd or the back of your car – they’ll want it louder, guaranteed. Make sure to cop a download below, and show this guy some love.

Events | Steve Aoki: Winter White @ SJSU 1/30 and Cal Poly 1/31
Posted by Nick on January 12, 2014
Steve Aoki, one of the biggest artists in the game today, owner of Dim Mak Records, is about to have probably one of the craziest weekends of his career, playing not just one, but TWO college campuses in a row. The good people over at Collective Effort Events hooked it up once again, bringing not only Steve, but also Dzeko & Torres, Bones, and John Beaver to San Jose, in addition to AutoErotique and Max Styler to SLO.
These performances are not ones you want to miss. Think about it: Aoki shows are already filled with champagne showers, crowd rafting, and of course, the famous birthday caking – now add a couple thousand college students, and you get one of the most nuts environments you could possibly imagine. Even if you’re not a fan of Steve Aoki (and I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be), you should get a ticket just for the experience.
Find tickets for the SJSU venue HERE and for Cal Poly HERE. If you’re an SJSU student, go to the Event Center box office for a discount, and if you’re a Cal Poly student, go to the Mustang Ticket Office.
Get stoked, get ready, and no excuses if you aren’t there. In the meantime, check out Steve’s unreal cake-throwing aim in slow motion below.
Hip-Hop | YG – I’m Good (Andrew Luce Remix)
Posted by Nick on December 24, 2013
Yet another massive track from the boy wonder Andrew Luce: this time, the San Francisco native chose to remix YG’s “I’m Good,” showing off his ability to skillfully blend popular electronic styles with a clear Bay Area hip-hop influence. If you need a track to throw down with quality sampling and a consistent, clean, dynamic, & just straight up loud bass line, you’ve found your match.
For those of you heading out to Snowglobe in S. Lake Tahoe next week, make sure to catch his set at the Main Stage on Tuesday from 4:30-5:30. After winning the event’s Opening DJ Contest, it’s definitely a performance you won’t want to miss – again, big things coming from this guy. Don’t forget to hit up a free download!
