Electro-House, Preview | Nicky Romero & Zedd – Human [Preview]
Posted by Spice on July 23, 2012
I’ll get the bad out of the way first: the drop in this clip is pretty underwhelming. I had insanely high hopes when I saw that these two were collaborating and let’s just say that my expectations were not fully met. But now the good: the build prior to the drop is amazing, and this preview is short, so who knows what else “Human” might have in store? The vocals are excellent and it’s clear that Nicky Romero and Zedd are bringing the top quality production skills that we’ve all grown accustomed to seeing in their work over the past year, so I look forward to hearing this in full when it drops (update: as part of Zedd’s hotly-anticipated Spectrum EP) on July 31. Fingers crossed that they’re purposely denying us the best that this collabo has to offer…
Electro-House | Noize Punk – Make Noize!
Posted by Mach on July 21, 2012
This is exactly what I need to keep my Summer amped up. Noise Punk is calling this a Summer Anthem and there is no doubt that is what he got out of this original. The name of the track says exactly what we should all be doing. It’s Summer and most importantly Saturday, so honor the day and yourself by enjoying the rest of your weekend.
Electro-House, Progressive House | Krewella – Alive (Henrix & Moore Remixes)
Posted by Middy on July 19, 2012
Krewella’s “Alive” has been given a nice set of remixes as we saw yesterday with the heavy Killabits remix in R Rated and now with remixes from Henrix (formerly Pedro Henriques) and Moore, whom you saw with his “The Moore, The Better EP” that we premiered for you here at FNT. Henrix gives a progressive take on the track with the superb vocals from Krewella and a guitar melody carrying the build into a drop of a euphoric hands in the air synth melody with a thumping bass line. Moore starts off with a soft build of synths similar to those in “The Veldt“, working very well with the vocals and then transitions into a hard drop of growling synths, chopped vocals bits and a fast moving bass line. Both of the remixes are quality takes on a good Krewella track and watch for more of these guys in the near future.
Electro-House | Afrojack – Rock The House
Posted by Middy on July 16, 2012
Afrojack did not only drop jaws at UMF when he played “Top Of The World” for the first time, he also put them back down on the floor when he premiered this track with Lil John yelling all over the place, telling you just how special it was to avoid rips of the track. Afrojack has risen to the level of a global superstar, occasionally crossing over into pop and doing songs with pop superstars in the US, while remaining true to his Dutch style and still cranking out those bleeps and bloops that caused people to fall in love with him in the first place. The guitar melody, combined with the massive, big room chord progression provide the perfect build into the hard electro / dutch drop that will Rock Your House and your neighbor’s as well. He also shows off his creativity and production skill with an interesting percussion and piano interlude providing a whole array of styles all within the one song. Another fantastic production from Afrojack and as they say, “If it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much”.

Electro-House | D!RTY AUD!O x Danilo – Lifestyle & Sander van Doorn – Chasin’ (D!RTY AUD!O Remix)
Posted by Sev on July 12, 2012
D!RTY AUD!O is back at it again teaming up with Dutch producer Danilo to create this Electro-house banger. Both of these up coming artist have stepped out of their usual genres to work on this unique collaboration that has a nice bouncy vibe to it. Influences from both sides can be seen as the intro starts of nice and slow with some House-style buildups and progressions. As the track slowly builds up to the drop we see some filtering and then we get that catchy bouncy Electro drop.
I couldn’t help but post this outstanding remix by D!RTY AUD!O as well for the Sander Van Doorn remix competition. With so many of these competitions currently ongoing it is nice to support these growing artist who are trying to become recognized by the big names. After listening to this remix a few times it was hard to find any flaws within the track, which is why it secured my vote right away. Take a listen to the track and if you feel the same be sure to give him a vote as well. The preview is posted below with the Beatport voting link HERE.
Electro-House | Ansol & Dyro – Top Of The World
Posted by Middy on July 10, 2012
Finally after being premiered at Ultra by Wall Records boss Afrojack that left all who witnessed it with the same stunned reaction, the electro house track that has been a staple of sets of producers big and small has been released. I will not list the DJs who have supported this because it is too long, but this one has already been getting serious play at festivals and clubs around the world and will continue to do so throughout the summer. Dyro has been on fire this year with numerous massive tracks like “EMP”, his “Kontiki” remix, “Raid” and more. “Top Of The World” combines a fitting vocal with a melodic build and a hard drop of powerful saws and pounding bass that will get 60,000 people raging in unison.

Electro-House | Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes – Here We Go
Posted by Middy on July 9, 2012
Hard Rock Sofa and Swanky Tunes and perfect examples of guys who have been slowly plugging away, biding their time until their rise to prominence and after nearly 15 years of making music, growing and evolving along the way, they have finally become two of the premier house assets in the world, putting Russia on the map in terms of house music. “Here We Go” is yet another quality release from Axtone, and from the Russians, with its prominent, growling acid bass line that prevails throughout the track, a rising synth and the “Here We Go” vocal bit. This one has festival written all over it and is awesome live. It has been championed by Swedish House Mafia and is already supported by Nicky Romero, Thomas Gold, Afrojack, David Guetta and more.
