Preview, Progressive House | Vicetone Ft. Collin McLoughlin – Heartbeat
Posted by Mach on February 25, 2013
FNT’s favorite vocalist teams up with one of the top up and coming House producers to bring us one unbelievably beautiful Progressive House original. Monstercat has been on a roll with releases this year. Vicetone and Collin don’t wait long on this track to collide, sending emotion throughout your body and mind. You can tell that Collin has been tuning his voice into something well worth hearing daily on the radio. I don’t think the two could have asked for a better collaboration. “Heartbeat” releases in just a few days on March 1st.
Dubstep, Preview | Alvin Risk – SKYCLAD
Posted by Mach on February 25, 2013
It is about time Alvin Risk had a good release. I am so sick of hearing sick new tracks in his live sets and then when he makes a release it’s one of the worst things I have ever heard. Sadly the official preview leaves out the most important part of the track that helps a person decide if they like it or not, the drop. Don’t be sad for long because I happened to find a little clip ripped from a mix that plays out what we want to hear. It is because of this that I have finally come to the conclusion that Alvin Risk still has it, he just needs to start making more releases to prove it. “Skyclad” releases March 5th on OWSLA.

Dirty South takes behind the scenes for his upcoming album “Speed Of Life” and shows us some of the creative process in how he put it all together. We see him in studios across the US recording various instruments like his guitar that his very fond of and working with vocalists Rudy and St Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford Joe Gil. The video gives a sneak peak of what to expect on the album and from what we hear in the video, it sounds like it is going to be really, really good. After the jump check out previews for “Until The End” featuring the aforementioned St Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford Joe Gil and “Reset” and check his youtube channel for more previews as we get closer to the March 5th release date. Dirty South is also giving out a free download for “Super Sounds”, one of the songs in the making of video, a track that combines big room elements with vintage guitar riffs and a grinding low end.

Dubstep, Preview | Teknian – Behemoth (DarkElixir Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 23, 2013
I never expected to hear a good remix of Teknian’s epic new tune “Behemoth.” DarkElixir collided worlds with Teknian’s original, leaving behind a wasteland ruled by heavy bass. Seeing as this is only one drop, one can not even coherently imagine what the other may sound like, but I have a feeling it’s just as mind blowing. Adding this one to the ‘must have’ list.
Dubstep, Electro-House, Preview | Skrillex – Puppy
Posted by Mach on February 18, 2013
Well it seems that Skrillex may have an album coming this Summer. It is about time he started to make releases from his massive vault of tracks. The video is a commercial for G-Star Denim, which features the first known single that may or may not be a part of the album. “The Art of RAW,” (clearly a play on words of the book, “The Art of War”), is described by Skrillex as a blend of Electro-House, Dubstep, and fidget. An interesting blend for sure, I am happy that I actually enjoy this clip. The “Bangarang EP” was boring in my opinion, it baffles me that Skrillex managed to pull a Grammy from the title single. A creatively wild track such as this only leaves me wondering if an album would be all that we have been hoping for over the past 2 years. At this point it’s hard to say, and just as Skrillex has stated LPs in the past, this Summer could end up another disappointment. I’m sure there is just a lot of confusion between his upcoming Dog Blood releases and his new project with Diplo and A-Trak.
Edit: Well, it turns out that the track is not called “The Art of Raw” but is in fact named “Puppy”.
Dubstep, Preview | Koven – No Blocks
Posted by Mach on February 12, 2013
People need to know Koven. His upcoming EP, “More Than You” is going to be a chart topper, I can just feel it. He incorporates the melodic vibes that everyone loves but also rocks bass to your core like no other. “No Blocks” is what Koven does. The melody takes you for a smooth ride until you meet the drop, and from there it sends chilling bass through you until the next lull. Koven’s EP “More Than You” releases on March 4th through Viper Recordings.
Preview, Trance | Dash Berlin Ft. Chris Madin – Fool For Life (Dash Berlin 4AM Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 11, 2013
“#musicislife” is by far my favorite album of 2012. Since its release, the question on my mind has been, which track will Dash Berlin create a 4am remix of? I am happy that they chose “Fool For Life.” It is definitely one of my top 5 favorites from the album, but I feel it has more versatility for a remix than the other tracks do. Only having heard this preview of the remix, I have to say I enjoy Dash Berlin’s piano and synth progression much more than the original. The drop is something different than most Trance listeners are use to hearing. It has a little bit of a breakbeat vibe to it but still has that progressive flow anyone can fall in love with. This remix makes me even more excited to soak in ASOT at UMF this year. This remix is set to release on Aropa Records on February 28th.
