Drum & Bass | Netsky — Come Alive EP
Posted by Sev on May 21, 2012
After watching the video for Netsky’s latest single I can only imagine what life would be like living in his shoes. Come Alive has been a Drum and Bass anthem for many artist in the past few months. Adding some new sounds to his arsenal, Netsky has stayed true to his roots by playing the music that made him a staple in DnB. The track starts off nice and smooth with female vocals and your typical Drum & Bass futuristic intro. Swiftly building its way to the drop where Netsky shows his true talents, combining his smashing DnB styled drops with a more drumstep feel. Not many producers can fuze two styles without losing the other and I commend Netsky on doing so. Also on this EP are three other DnB remixes provided by Culture Shock, Rockwell, and Submerse that you can listen to below. Grab Netsky’s single Come Alive along with the remixes on Beatport HERE.
Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on May 18, 2012
I get really excited when it is my week to do Drum & Bass Friday, in fact this might be my favorite post to do. I really try to keep variety in this post, offering dance, liquid, and heavier styled Drum & Bass tracks. This first track is an absolute gem that is dance floor ready. Traktion released this track in celebration of hitting 1000 likes on Facebook. I really love the vocals on this track, and the feel good vibes. One of my new favorites for sure.
Next we have a Reggae vibed Drum & Bass tune. Using deeper bass effects, this is an awesome chilled out track using vocals from Bob Marley.
With an almost sad feeling to the track, Paranoid Break teamed up with vocalist RaRCharm really put together a very emotion liquid original. The piano really sets off the infused emotion of this. Despite the sad vibe it gives off, this is a great track.
Before we get to the heavier Drum & Bass I had to squeeze in this last gem. ShockLine is another one of the no body producers I love to stumble upon. What caught my eye about this track was not just that it is a great Drum & Bass tune, but his creativity to blend in a bit of Trance as well. Those of you trying to get on FNT, creativity is a major thing I look for. Do your own thing.

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.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton | Bare & Datsik – The King Kong Experiment (Remixes + Official Video)
Posted by Mach on May 8, 2012
Basically reflecting all the things we wish we could get away with in public while wearing a Gorilla suit, this video is hilarious. I would have preferred to see Bare wear the suit though, he would have made a better King Kong. Bass Union (Subhuman) has really taken things up a notch.
Bare has been teasing these remixes for a few months now, and I am happy to finally get my hands on them. I am usually not one to rave Moombahton, but the Billy The Gent & Long Jawns remix really gets me moving. The Neon Steve remix is another that caught my eye, I love the flow of the break beat and the added vocals. Of course when you see that Bare did a VIP, you know it is going to be dirty as hell. Bare didn’t disappoint, his VIP turned out to be filthier than anticipated. Now the remixes are great and all, but in my opinion Terravita absolutely destroyed. One of the nastiest remixes of a track I have heard to date. I love the little slow break he takes with the drop in the middle, only to stop and satisfy you ears need for that nasty drumstep finish.
Drum & Bass | DC Breaks — Firez EP
Posted by Sev on May 7, 2012
I have been waiting on these drum and bass bangers from DC Breaks for a few weeks now and it was well worth the wait. Move Closer is killing it for me right now in the DnB game. With vocals on the track from Belle Humble and a enticing melody this is an instant favorite on the EP. Moving on; Shaken is a more old school DnB sounding track with heavier synth sounds and some more brutal bass for those that are bass hungry. Firez and Era on the other hand are both tasteful melodic styled tracks that bring a variety to the EP. These two tracks are more for fans who favor the intricate sounding tracks rather than the heavy stage smashing ones. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Protohype – Crush Mode Ft. Init
Posted by Mach on May 5, 2012
Protohype previewed this gem a few weeks ago on his youtube. Apparently his laptop was just stolen and the project was not backed up (after the same thing happening to Skrillex and Savant, you would think people would have learned by now). Anyways, Protohype has released the unfinished copy that he has available. Unfinished, this track is still dope as hell. I feel bad for him because tracks like these need to be completed. Message to those of you who have or are thinking of stealing an artist’s computer, you suck. It is people like you that ruin it for the rest of us, don’t smile because we all hate you for the issues that you cause. Get a life, big ups to Protohype for this amazing track.
