Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Seven Lions On Taking Time Off From Touring, Upcoming Productions And More
Posted by Middy on November 6, 2013
There aren’t many guys who have created trends and styles in dance music today. Seven Lions’ patented brand of melodic dubstep has quickly become one of the go-to styles for a throng of copycats and established producers alike. After transitioning from metal to electronic music, Jeff Montalvo made his presence felt in a huge way with his Beatport competition winning remix of Above & Beyond’s “You Got To Go”, that would launch his career and open doors that were not even on possible for him to reach before.
We caught up with Seven Lions on his tour bus before he was slated to go on at Pier 94 on Halloween with Krewella, Gareth Emery, Candyland and Cash Cash. We chatted about his upcoming plans, including taking time off from touring next year, touring in general, releases he has coming up, music piracy and much more.

Dubstep, Exclusive, Featured | Doctor P & Adam F feat. Method Man – The Pit (Doctor P VIP Mix) [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on October 24, 2013
Ever since the explosion of dubstep / brostep in 2011, its infusion with rap has become much more commonplace with bigger and bigger names taking part. The most notable and successful example would be ASAP Rocky, Skrillex & Birdy Nam Nam “Wild For The Night”, which broke through on radio and into the mainstream, commercial audience. You can now add another notable collab to the list, with Doctor P, Adam F and Method Man all coming together on one track “The Pit”. The VIP relies more on the low end and robotic sounds, rather than the high-pitched piercing effects that Doctor P has made his living using in his productions.
Stream the track exclusively below and watch the video for the track as well. “The Pit” comes out on Monday, the 28th, as part of a 4 track EP for “The Pit” that includes the single, the VIP mix, and remixes from Datsik and Brillz. Preorder it all here.

It’s Friday, its the weekend, that means it is time to cut loose. Who better than to get loose with than the outrageous brothers Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen, better known to you all as Showtek. Techno, turned hardstyle turn electro house behemoths, the duo’s impact on dance music cannot be understated.
