Indie, RnB | Usher – Yeah (Pat Lok Remix)
Posted by Juicebox on December 8, 2014
So I’ve had a lot of coffee this morning, but I just realized I’ve played this track 13 times already today. Honestly though, Pat Lok has brought the fire once again. What else is new. This prolific Vancouver producer has been gaining serious momentum in 2014 with some huge tracks including remixes for Alunageorge and Olympic Ayres. And with this remix of a club classic, we expect it to have some serious success. This is the definition of catchy, don’t sleep on Pat Lok!

Folks, I’ve been holding off on sharing this one, it’s just that good, and sometimes I like having my own little gems, but right about now feels like the right time to introduce Austin Basham to the world and his latest single “All Is Well,” an infectious acoustic indie-pop ditty that should not be slept on! I’m willing to bet $20, you’re going to be seeing this track take off on the blog-o-sphere, and remixes left and right pop up. I personally had tears running down my face when I first heard it, pardon my sensitivity for beautiful music 🙂 This is a must listen!
Indie | Goldroom X White Cliffs – Till Sunrise
Posted by JT on November 13, 2014
This track right here is cooler than ice and with winter making its dark return, White Cliffs supply a warm breeze transporting us back to summer. “Till Sunrise” has been getting its fair share of remix exposure, but no one has been able to facilitate an atmosphere so nonchalant. It starts off with an ambient intro and slaps us with a funky bassline, propping those sexy vocals right to our attention. Relax, and enjoy this free download for your listening pleasure.
Give White Cliffs some hearts on HypeM
Indie, Pop | La+ch – La+ch EP

After the steady weekly release of singles, La+ch decided the world was ready for their self-titled EP, and if I were you, I would pay close attention, this EP is sex. If I had a long walk to work, you’d probably catch me belting these tunes out in my falsetto voice at the top of my lungs on the sidewalk, straight loving life. My personal favorite off the EP is “Hunter,” if you like Passion Pit, than this one is for you, besides, who doesn’t like Passion Pit? This is a must listen and support by purchasing the EP on iTunes!

Indie | The Blancos – Lemon Garden (Official Video)

The Blancos have been on my radar for a good few months now, and for the first time we can finally put a face to the voices with their latest music video for “Lemon Garden” , and it gets even more raw for these 2 as their voices fit the look, bearded grungy dudes who probably don’t have a care in the world. It’s Monday afternoon, so here’s a 1:30 ditty with visuals to accompany of The Blancos’ “Lemon Garden.” This is a must watch and a must listen!
Indie | La+ch – Lolita

This might be the most awesomely weird record I’ve heard in a long time, and La+ch is behind it with “Lolita,” a raw record with so much emotion, you can hear it in the production, and you can hear it in the Passion Pit like vocals that resonate in my sensitive heart and ears. I’m all about the emotion, the non-processed, the organic, and La+ch gets it, this might be today’s version of what rock-n-roll used to be when the Eagles were around. Give this one a listen and look out for their EP which releases November 10th! This is a must listen!
Hip-Hop, Indie | Sunkissed (Vol. 1)
Posted by JT on November 3, 2014
There are very few producers who can claim to have elevated to the top in 4 short months and cop a record deal with Sony Records. Coming out of studio hibernation-mode, David Youssef (Shèmce) has released hit after hit, many of which he showcases in the first of his Sunkissed series. He has embraced Tropical House as his religion and is well on his way to shaping the future direction of this genre.
Volume 1 begins with a fresh, tropical squeeze of Notorious BIG’s “Juicy,” a re-fix that would have the king of flow himself vibing. Think of your favourite beach, because that’s where Shèmce wants to take you. He’s no stranger to giving a crowd what it wants; before becoming captain of the Tropical House ship, he pioneered his way into the industry as resident DJ of a small-town club. Think twice, this is the same venue that saw Skrillex, Avicii, Zedd, Dada Life, Porter Robinson, Rusko, and Benny Benassi (to name a few) bless its decks (this was also when tickets were $20 … the good ol’ days). It only makes rational sense that a producer/DJ of David’s calibre has risen through the haze of heavy bass, broken glowsticks, half-empty water bottles, and endless streams of stage-rages. He lives two lives, prescribing the right dosage of feel-good therapy during the day, and heavy dancefloor beats during the night.
Expect the unexpected, ladies and gentleman – let him take you to church. In Shèmce’s heart, its always summer and this series is a testament to his philosophy. Thanks to David for this bit of “Free Sunshine.” – we here at FNT are very excited to watch Shèmce grow in the coming months and years.
