Trance | Ferry Corsten – Midsummer Rain
Posted by Spice on October 7, 2013
In honor of reaching 900,000 fans on Facebook, Ferry Corsten has decided to dig into the vaults and release a track from 2004 for free download. This blissful, melodic 10 minute long epic is a great throwback with a pure trance vibe and is absolutely beautiful to boot. In Ferry’s own words: “Wow, 900.000 likes on my Facebook page! As a little ‘thank you’ to all of you, I decided to give away a special, previously unreleased track of myself. Back in 2004 I produced the track “Midsummer Rain”, especially for the “Infinite Euphoria” mix compilation. ‘Midsummer Rain’ was produced exclusive for this mix album and you can now download the complete, 10 minute version on my Soundcloud page for free! Thanks to all my fans for your support.” Check out “Midsummer Rain” below, and keep an eye out for Ferry in the coming months if you’re here in the US — he and Markus Schulz will be swinging through both coasts in November as the irrepressible New World Punx.

House, Techno | BLAZ – Idiot // A-Spec
Posted by Spice on September 12, 2013
Some techy madness for those of you like to go van deeper. Blaz is a producer out of Austin (#ATX baby) who likes to keep it dark, minimal, and borderline analog. “Idiot” is robotic future music of the highest order and “A-Spec” is the kind of track that, if played loudly and on repeat in the dark, will quickly cause you to lose much of your ability to keep track of time. Check them out below — free DLs; get weird on this rainy Thursday.
Featured, Interviews | FNT Catches up With Ferry Corsten at Electric Zoo 2013
Posted by Spice on September 10, 2013
The FNT squad caught up with perennial trance king Ferry Corsten on Friday before his Electric Zoo set — and as always, Ferry had lots of excellent insights into the state of trance, what’s in store for the the scene, and (of course) his buddy Markus Schulz. Before doing anything else, including reading this interview, check out his set below if you missed the vibes. While he played a solid mix of new stuff (including his forthcoming track), he also dipped into the archives and brought out a few vaunted members of the old guard — like 2009’s “Beautiful,” an insane bootleg of the ever-funky “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim, and of course recent Beatport-topper “Gouryella.” And let’s not forget his recent collaboration with Giuseppe Ottavani, “Magenta,” which is certainly old at heart.
House | Breach – Jack (Tittsworth & Alex Eljaiek Remix)
Posted by Spice on August 26, 2013
Yes, yes, yes; a thousand times yes. The throwbacky instant classic that is Breach’s “Jack” gets a hefty, kicked up facelift from Tittsworth and Alex Eljaiek — and they’re quite literally giving it away. Thonking, techy bass lends serious oomph to a track that was already a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Not really much else to say here, especially since this remix comes with Dirtybird’s official blessing. I’ve already had the pleasure of hearing this thing go down live and let me tell you: it’s the real deal.

Trance | Omnia – Immersion
Posted by Spice on August 26, 2013
The more I hear from Omnia, the more I’m convinced that the young producer can do no wrong. “The Light” is arguably one of the biggest trance anthems of 2013, and while “Immersion” tends in a more melodic/less punchy direction, it’s just as evocative and infectiously catchy. It’s already achieved Tune of the Week status on A State of Trance, several weeks in advance of its official release, so you know it’s good. 60 percent of the time, it works every time, indeed.

Progressive House | Hello Beddo – Exit at Yemassee
Posted by Spice on August 22, 2013
Fans of MitiS, take note: we’ve got a great free download for you this evening from young producer Hello Beddo. “Exit at Yemassee” has a floaty, chilled-out vibe, but picks up the energy with the introduction of some anthemic synths at the drop. We are loving the piano bridge and the way the choppy vocals play against the theme. In short? This track is a melodic gem. Check out Hello Beddo’s Soundcloud for more tunes.

House, Techno | Cassy – fabric 71
Posted by Spice on August 16, 2013
With Electric Zoo 2013 drawing closer and closer, it’s time to start doing your homework on the lineup so that you’re guaranteed to get the most out of the weekend. One of the places we’re most excited to hit is the notorious Sunday School Grove, which will be churning out deep house all day on Friday (and indeed, all weekend) until a sure-to-be-awesome closing set from the legendary Danny Tenaglia. Who, of course, is from New York. Fitting.
Friday’s lineup in the Grove is stacked, but we’re particularly stoked to check out British-born/Austria-rasied/Berlin-based Cassy, who has been taking dance floors the world over by storm. She’s maintained no less than four residencies in 2013, including at the much-touted Output in Brooklyn. In advance of her set, we strongly encourage you to check out her upcoming mix for London’s fabric, which is funky, atmospheric, and expertly crafted. Stream a promo mix below, and check out the full track list after the jump.
