Electro-House, Exclusive, Trance | Bastian Salbart – Run! [FNT Premiere]

Posted by on December 4, 2013

HCR230_Bastian Salbart - Run! 600x600 72dpiPolish producer, Bastian Salbart is still quite a fresh face to the industry, but having been snatched up by the reputable trance record label, High Contrast Recordings, you can expect that all to change sooner, rather than later. “Run!”, much like his other productions, treads the line between trance and electro, integrating the best of both worlds, with interesting melodies and hard electro elements. This type of genre-melding dance music is great to see when some artists sometimes get pigeonholed into one category or sound. You can stream the song in full below exclusively here on FNT until it is released on December 9th, via High Contrast Recordings. Early support coming in from a few small names like Armin van Buuren, Sied van Riel and Rank 1. Make sure you follow Bastian as he continues to impress with his unique sound.

I’m a week behind on this track, but damn, spike up your coffee and get ignorant with Party Favor’s “Touch,” a track off his 30k EP, which he will release once he reaches 30k fans on Facebook (get to liking!). Also in the works for Mr Favor is a remix of “Booyah” by Showtek released under Spinnin Records. Blast this record, anticipate your favorite DJ spinning this, and all of the girls twerking to this, cause it goes hard. I might even include this one in my baby making playlist. This is a must listen!

Chill, Trap | Drake – Too Much (GXNXVS Remix) (Feat. Sampha)

Posted by on December 3, 2013

I know, I know, you’re sick of seeing remixes of Drake’s songs… But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably my favorite Drake remix I’ve ever heard, and that’s saying something considering how many Drake remixes I see a day! This came out a week ago, but I don’t feel that it got the recognition it deserves. The vocals cuts are eerie and the piano is fantastic. Australian artist GXNXVS doesn’t have a lot of Soundcloud support, so go follow him and download this track for free!

Dubstep, Trance | Röyksopp – Running To The Sea Ft. Susanne Sundfør (Seven Lions Remix)

Posted by on December 2, 2013

It has taken a long time for me to gather enough nerve to write this review, because this piece of music intimidates me so much. I don’t know how to accurately convey the way that this song made me feel when I heard it for the first time. I was on a crowded city bus, but felt completely alone. I didn’t feel lonely, rather, I felt as if I had been transported away by the music, and was in a different place than the people around me. I moved to the music without regard for the perceptions or judgments of strangers in my vicinity, and it felt surreal.

Electro, Hip-Hop, Rap | BMB. – Playah (ft. GoldLink)

Posted by on December 2, 2013

BMB - GoldLink - Playah

After a straight month of recording, perfecting, and experimenting, we see GoldLink re-emerging from the woodworks. His latest offering, “Playah”, adds an entirely new dimension to the Virginia rapper’s persona. Not only does it detail the lifestyle of GoldLink growing up, but it also pushes forward a more socially conscious aspect of his music.

In a recent interview over at the Brightside Network, GoldLink said that “nobody is making moves like [him],” so be sure to stay tuned and see exactly what those moves might be.

Drum & Bass, Glitch | Upscale Recordings – The Collective EP (Ft. Evoke, Frequent, Masq, Audeka, Paurini, & Spectric)

Posted by on December 1, 2013

Upscale Recordings - The Collective EPDamn, the sub-label of Adapted Records, Upscale Recordings with the goal of sharing strictly Neuro-Hop (Blend of Glitch-Hop and Neuro-Funk AKA Drum & Bass), drops this dirty EP of some of the top up and comers in the newly rising twisted genre. The EP kicks off with an original from Evoke. Carrying the title of the EP, “The Collective” thumps in smoothly, only to progress into that deliciously glitched out funk. Next, Spectric remixes Evoke’s original, adding a few more layers to the mix of the glitch to take you on deep stroll of bass. A commoner on FNT with his Neuro/Trap blends, Masq teams up with Frequent. Their collaboration “Firescape” starts out with a calm, slightly glitchy melodic euphoria, leaving you bumping out at a deep multi-bass layered drop. A larger name and personal favorite of Neuro-hop, come Audeka with a funky remix of Dino Safari’s Breakspeed. This remix has to be my favorite on the EP, I love how deep the bass on this track is and how it maintains the funk with the chill throughout it. Something that KOAN Sound and Asa introduced to the majority of the population on their most recent collaboration EP. Last, but certainly not least, Paurini introduces himself with a chilling original, “Lumberjack”. Paurini is a new name for me, and after hearing this original, I’m blown away. I suspect this is just the beginning of his epic Neuro journey. Neuro-Hop is a genre on the rise, while Dubstep introduces new artists by the minute and becomes more and more repetitive by the minute. “The Collective” EP is a must have, and count on Upscale recordings to introduce countless more great tracks in the future.
