Chill, Hip-Hop, RnB | Tinashe ft. Chance the Rapper – Ecstasy (Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on January 29, 2013
I must admit, when I first heard this, I was reminded of Drake and Aaliyah’s Enough Said. I mean that as a compliment, because that was one of my favorite R&B/rap remixes of 2012. Something about a beautiful voice paired with one beautiful, smooth, verse delivered by a rapper with talent does it for me. To be frank, I like this song more than I like Enough Said. I think Tinashe’s voice is beautiful, sensual, and soothing. I can’t say enough about Chancelor Bennett. Ever since FNT’s own Dshaq put me on him about a year ago, I’ve never been disappointed by his music, and this verse is no different. Big things are happening for Chance in 2013, that’s a promise. Love to Pigeons and Planes for premiering this beauty and for the embed code below. Download the original song and Tinashe’s full project here.

Posted by Middy on January 29, 2013
Much like 2012 was Axtone’s year, 2013 has the potential to be Size Record’s year. Having already released “Head Up“, with “Swoon” coming on February 11th and another vaunted release on its heals in a week or two, Size is set with a stable of outstanding releases ready to go all the way through the summer. Tim Mason has wowed us before with his originals like “The Moment” & “Anima” and he may have topped them both with “Swoon”. Take a listen below and get ready for yet another massive track from the Brighton native.
Electro-House | John Dahlback – Pressure
Posted by Middy on January 28, 2013
One of the hardest working Swedes is back with another offering for the first of what should be many in 2013. “Pressure” continues the trend of grungy electro tracks we saw from him towards the tail end of 2012. With a gritty low end, a punchy bass line and a smattering of big room synths throughout, John Dahlback shows once again that even in his many tracks, he is still able to keep them all unique. Do not hesitate to see him out on tour as he makes his way across North America this month.

Posted by LoffyG on January 22, 2013
The Lamp City kid, Cam Meekins, is back with his newest song and video release. I present to you “This & That” produced by and featuring Chuck Inglish, well known for his work in the group The Cool Kids before splitting up in late 2012. I’ve always been a fan of Cam’s work and this track is no different. He’s constantly showing progression through his music whether its rapping, producing or directing, he does it all. Congrats to him for having his video for “Rain” recently hit the 1 milli club on YouTube.
Electro-House | Denzal Park – Yarl
Posted by Middy on January 21, 2013
Australian duo Denzal Park continue to show the diversity in their productions as they follow up songs in 2012 like “Scorpio” & “Amarok” and the mountain of remixes they manage to put out. “Yarl” combines a powerful acid infused lead, a melodic interlude with light dubstep influences and a thumping bass line that drives the acid lead. Denzal Park’s return to Fedde Le Grand’s Flamingo Records can be called nothing short then a success and “Yarl” is an outstanding start to 2013 for the habitually underrated duo.
