Bootleg, Progressive House | Alesso – Years (Jakob Liedholm’s Open Your Eyes Edit)
Posted by Spice on May 16, 2012
When it comes to electronic music, is there anything the Swedes can’t do? Jakob Liedholm is a 15 year-old Swedish producer whom we previously featured for his big room-ready adaptation of “Some Nights” by indie band Fun. Now, he takes Alesso’s progressive house monster “Years” and deftly ties in the vocals from “Eyes Wide Open” by Thomas Gold and Dirty South. The result? An epic, uplifting jam to get you in the right mindset for EDC this weekend (fun fact: Alesso, Dirty South, and Thomas Gold will all be there!)
If Mr. Liedholm’s past work is any indication, we can definitely expect to see big things down the road. Keep an eye on this young Swede; I’ve got a feeling he won’t disappoint.
DJ-Set, Events, Progressive House, Trance | Mat Zo feat. Linnea Schossow – The Sky + Fun Bus Mix
Posted by Middy on May 16, 2012
The eclectic Mat Zo has provided the world with a single to follow up his potent Bipolar EP. Mat Zo or MRSA or MRZO, his Drum N Bass monikers, is known for pushing the boundaries of genre or totally ignoring them, making music that incorporates many different types of sounds and rhythms into one track. To really stand out now a days you not only have to be able to have your own unique sound, but also be able to have many different sounds and Mat Zo has done that. “The Sky” uses angelic vocals from Linnea Schossow, a moving bass line, emotive synth melodies and adept key play culminate in a hands in air break. Anjunabeats and Mat Zo have done it again.

Mat Zo in preparation for going on Porter Robinson’s “Language Tour” with The M Machine released this 50 minute mix with tracks ranging from Mord Fustang to Eric Prydz to Mat Zo himself. The Language tour will be hitting all the major cities across the US this summer in June & July so you really need to get to one of those shows with these three artists performing each night.

Moombahton | Moombah Mondays (Trap Edition)
Posted by Sev on May 14, 2012
Moomba Blasta has been on point with their Trap uploads lately, and they have won me over. Honestly I cannot get enough of Trap-style after roaming through their youtube channel so I decided this weeks Moombah Mondays is going to be dedicated to Trap-style tracks. Starting off with the above track; wow do I love those vocals. The quick drums and snares accompanied by that heavy bass kick are bound to get the job done for any crowd. Whether you like it or not Flosstradamus, being one of the big names in Trap, is having their tracks played out by all the big names; Diplo, Flux Pavillion, Dillon Francis just to name a few. Just to help broaden your views on the genre I have two tracks from Flosstradamus on this weeks Trap-style Mondays. One is an old track that I just fell in love with again after hearing it being freestyled over by Papoose on Sway In The Morning, 5 Fingers of Death Freestyles. The newer one entitled Look At The Sky, gives you a taste of some hip-hop infused Trap music. Both bringing some extreme boundaries together into one amazing genre that is still growing.
This next one is a secret weapon of Luminox’s that he was kind enough to give away. I never new the famous Bingo Players track Rattle would ever be pushed to these bounds, but this is one of my favorite remixes to the track. The prolonged bass kick, fits perfectly with this melody and the reversal of the melody on the second drop worked out phenomenally.
Another truly remarkable and unique interpretation of a big dubstep track. Doctor P decided to put his single Neon up for a remix competition and so far most artist have decide to just try their hand at it, but end up giving away their remixes. This one I was happy to have from CRNKN, because it is so organized and well constructed. Nothing feels forced or out of place like I have heard with other tracks. I would love to see this sort of track being played more by big EDM artist to help expand these smaller genres.

Drum & Bass | Xilent — Ultrafunk EP
Posted by Sev on May 14, 2012
Xilent has been unleashing some of his most highly anticipated work lately. Whether it was finally releasing his Ode To Bouncer Remix or his remix to Out The Blue, the fans have been wanting more from this talented artist. Deciding to bring this EP back to his DnB funky roots we get to see a side of Xilent we haven’t seen much of lately. This is some of the most exhilarating, original, crowd-pleasing Drum & Bass all built into one EP. Every track on here pulls its own weight leaving no room for disappointment from Xilent on this EP.
Starting off with Twisted, we have a gradual build into a soothing melody that grows to a point where the music cuts off. Then we get an overbearing, crazy style drop that is sure to blow you back a few feet. Ultra gives the same vibes as Twisted with a nice melody to start off, into a more up-beat Jump-up style of Drum & Bass drop. Beyond, being the third track on the EP has a more euphoric sound to it, which is very hard to accomplish with DnB. With some fast paced melodic builds and intricate sounds produced later on during the track this one shows the true talent Xilent has. Last on the EP we have Do It, which we preivewed on Dnb Saturdays. A must have for all Drum & Bass fans without a doubt. Grab it on Beatport HERE
Drum & Bass | DnB Saturdays
Posted by Sev on May 12, 2012
Summer has begun (well at least for me) and that means festivals and music all day everyday. Not being able to post for almost a week because of finals was driving me crazy, so this is the first post of many. Xilent has slowly climbed up my chart of favorites near the top with his melodic yet bass bumping Dnb and Dubstep. Being released on Tuesday is his newest EP “UltraFunk” with some promising tracks, incuding this amazing monstrous original DnB track entitled Do It. Great stuff from Audio Porn Records; they wont be disappointed with this one at all. The next and last preview was sent to us from our friends over at InfraRed music providing us with nothing short of the best in Dnb. Rewind dropping a new track that is heavy on the bass and the perfect secret weapon for destroying any crowd. The track should be releasing within the next month so stay tuned for more information on its release.
This has to be one of the best free giveaways in the past month thanks to Loadstar. These guys are masters of Dnb, and they gave the fans this nice little two track EP. Second Skin just absolutely melted my face off when I heard and I just can’t stop jamming to the sick basslines. Don’t pass up on these or else you will regret it.
Drumsound and Bassline Smith being kind enough to grace us with a freebie this week as well. Really interesting melody choice for this track, nevertheless is still goes hard. These guys are bringing the bass as well and also the crazy synth sounds. Amazing progression of instrumentsx through the track as well.

Moombahton | The Very Best — Yoshua Aikuti (Nadastrom Remix) // Nadastrom “Moombahton Massive” EP
Posted by Spice on May 10, 2012
Nadastrom. My dudes. Moombahton has come an incredibly long way in the past three years, but had Dave Nada not hopped on the decks at that fated house party in 2009 we wouldn’t be talking right now. We love our moombahton here at FNT, so it seems only fitting now to take a moment to check in with the genre’s originators — who have big things in store for us in 2012.
To say that Dave Nada and Will Nordstrom have been busy lately would be an understatement. Their Moombahton Massive brainchild — a wild local dance party that has blown up venues in Miami, Austin, and Chicago — has officially gone international. They just kicked off a North American tour. Their record label, Diabluma Sound, is set to launch on May 22. And on top of all of this, they’re still hard at work. They recently dropped a compilation “Moombahton Massive” EP on Scion A/V in conjunction with some well-worn names (Sabo, Steve Starks, and JWLS), which highlights the genre’s funky, sexy, global roots. The EP is free (!!) and you can preview and download it here. They also just released a feel-good yet positively haunting remix of The Very Best’s “Yoshua Aikuti,” a catchy-as-hell song we suggested could be poised for a global takeover when the video dropped back in April. Nadastrom’s treatment is subtle, chilled out, and a wonderful showcase for Esau Mwamwaya’s soaring vocals. Want to inject some new flavor into your iTunes rotation? This is just the stuff.
Electro | Usher – Climax (Diplo & Flosstradamus Remix)
Posted by Spice on May 9, 2012
A few weeks ago, Diplo and Flosstradamus dropped their trap musik-infused remix of Usher and Diplo’s slow jam “Climax.” Today, Diplo announced on Facebook that he would offer it for free DL if he could get 2,000 likes. Ah, the power of social media — it took no more than 10 minutes for his fans to mobilize. Diplo, of course, is a man of his word; you can now download the remix here, and he has promised to keep the link live until, and I quote, “Sony shuts it down.” Atta boy. The remix enhances the smooth vibe of the original with some chill, funky synths that complement Usher’s buttery vocals nicely. Diplo’s an international man of mystery and a proven tastemaker, so his forays into bounce, Baltimore club music and trap are definitely indicative that bigger things lie ahead for these regional niche genres. Get acquainted now.
Bootleg, Progressive House | Henrik B & Rudy vs. Kaskade – Leave A Light On For My Eyes (Buck Bootleg)
Posted by Mach on May 9, 2012
Having Axwell play his bootleg of ‘Save The Punk’s Heart,’ Buck has has been powering out bootlegs. A Junior at Middlebury College, this newest of Buck’s really caught my eye, he was right to think that the vocals from these two tracks are a great fit together. He was telling me how his friends love his bootlegs so much, that they expect him to make one everyday, haha. Now that is not out of reach, I think his current method is working very well for him. Below this new bootleg are a few of his older works to give you an idea of creative formula, enjoy.
