Preview, Progressive House | Ken Loi feat. Zashanell – All It Takes

Posted by on June 3, 2012

Australian born, San Francisco raised Dj and bootleg master, Ken Loi has been on our radar for a long time as he has grown as a producer. He has been making tracks that have been very good, but have lacked that je ne sais pas quoi to make them great, but with “All It Takes” and his upcoming remix of “Angels” he may have turned the corner and grown into the potential he has always shown to have. Zashanell provides vocals that fit very well with the incredible hands in the air melody orchestrated by Ken Loi with a varying bass line and a piano melody driving the build. Ken Loi has been championed by Tiesto and this track has been supported by the legend himself with others like Kaskade, Bingo Players and Adrian Lux. Below is a preview of his aforementioned remix of Adrian Lux – Angels, which adds a little extra to the melody with a little extra bite.

Progressive House | Adrian Lux feat. Lune – Fire

Posted by on February 7, 2012

Adrian Lux with the help of Lune has finally released this massive progressive house track onto the world after playing this out for the better part of a year. Lune provides sublime vocals for this euphoric track from the young Swede most known for his massive single “Teenage Crime” that was then remixed by Henrik B and Axwell and turned into a worldwide anthem. Sensitive guitar melodies start this one off and lead into a steady bass line and a melodic synth breakdown to die for. Adrian Lux is the man, he pounds brews like it is his job at shows so support him and get this song on Beatport, iTunes or DjTunes (320s cheaper than Beatport). Also look out for his debut album on Ultra Records set to release April 5th.

Trance | Trance

I was pleasantly surprised at support for trance, so here is the second installment. The Sander van Doorn is getting set to release his upcoming album “Eleve11” on the 19th and here is the album preview with a song featuring Adrian Lux called “Eagles”. He made 12 tracks in the past year and the album only has 11 so he gave out the 12th for free. It is aptly named “Track 12”.

The next song is a single he just released off of the album and the title sounds like many of your weekends/Monday nights, “Drink To Get Drunk”. Not the most trance sounding song, but it is still good and the rest of the CD should be great.

Here is the two sided EP from Jaytech on the trance super label Anjunabeats. This is the classic trance we all love. Infectious, uplifting piano rifts with a smooth synth and bass line all on top of soft vocals in New Vibe and Echo is a little more uptempo and relies on more of a varying synth lead.

A bonus that is more euphoric, progressive trance. It has the female vocals, synth work and bass to make a classic. It is there for all of you being railed by school (me) or life to know better days are ahead.

Electro, Mashups | Axel Bauer & Lanford – One More Disposition While Doing Crime

Posted by on September 6, 2011

This song is phenomenal – perfect for the avid FNT listener whose looking to balance out his or her bass-heavy iTunes library (yes I’m aware we’ve been hitting you with a lot of dubstep and hard electro as of late). The aptly titled song features various bits and pieces from some of your favorite tracks including Daft Punk’s “One More Time”, Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” remix, and Adrian Lux’s “Teenage Crime”. Incredibly, the duo seamlessly blends the tracks under a perfect balance between the beat and vocals.Don’t pass this one up and keep an eye on these two, they’ll be climbing the ranks in no time. Hat tip to DJ Nat Dodge on this one.
