WOW, just WOW! And another great track that forces to me to remove one from my top 10 list of 2013 to include this one. Swedish artist Seinabo Sey’s “Younger” is a masterpiece, from the songwriting, to the production, this track has it all. For her second track made public, I can only imagine what is to come. You’re going to want to do yourself a favor and stream this record, Seinabo in my opinion is in the ranks of Adele and Emeli Sande, and I stand behind my words. This is a must listen!

New comers to FNT, but definitely not unfamiliar to the scene, the self proclaimed “afro” boy duo The Golden Pony add their disco touch to an electronic classic remixing “Fuck The Pain Away” by Peaches, and it doesn’t get any more glamorous. This remix brings me back to the wild Studio 54 nights in the 70’s filled with sex, drugs, and disco, and I wasn’t even around back then. Talk about a throwback on a Thursday, all pun intended. As explicit as this song gets, the music is too damn good. If you’re trying to dance, this one’s for you! The track is also currently charting on Hypem, go give it a like here to help it move up the chart! This is a must a listen!

Electronic, Indie | Boombox – Waiting Around

Posted by on December 16, 2013

‘Waiting Around’ is a funky, electronic indie song from the live band / DJ hybrid duo Boombox. It is the first single off their upcoming album Filling In The Color, set to come out January 14th. This song incorporates a large amount of live band elements from guitar solos to horns leaving us with a jam inspired twist reminding me of The Grateful Dead, which isn’t surprising with Guitar / Lead Vocalist Zion of Boombox being the son of two members from the group (Keith and Donna Jean Godchauxt).

The Chainsmokers continue with their rapid pace of releases with a remix to The Colourist’s “Fix This”. It has a similar same vibe as many of their previous indie-house tracks but instead of the light, cheery sound that is usually a custom to them, it has a bit of a darker tone. It is an official remix but the label told them they didn’t want the song available for sale or free download so as of right now, it is streaming only.

Alternative, Indie, Pop | NAIMAH – Wolf & I // Bittersweet Refrain

Posted by on November 25, 2013

Naimah

I’m interrupting my regularly scheduled deep/tech house programming to deliver your ears some absolutely gorgeous indie-pop from one of D.C.’s newest and brightest songbirds. Back from #DTLA after four years at USC, 22 year-old Naimah brings a lyrical, dreamy touch to the two wonderfully assured productions below. The haunting “Wolf & I” — not an Oh Land cover, mind you — is simultaneously delicate and warm, thanks to stirring vocals and a languid yet evocative arrangement. “Bittersweet Refrain” features similarly tight vocal harmonies and heady instrumental builds, but the main highlight is really Naimah’s voice — which has a distinctly ethereal quality without sacrificing power. Par excellence. Naimah will soon be releasing her debut EP Reverie, so this is surely not the last you’ll be hearing from her — in fact, I think it’s safe to say that this is just the beginning.

This song speaks for itself for the most part. The bass is perfect, lyrics.. perfect. Beat – spot on. This is an unofficial video but Purity Ring has good songs for days. Check out their page here.

This young boy is a problem, you should call it in.

Wordplay on fire.  Arguably my favorite JB record to date.

Jim Morrison, Christopher Wallace, Bob Marley, Kanye West, Chris Zarou. Boom, album coming very soon.
