Electronic | Kill Them With Colour – Paria
Posted by VMan on April 21, 2014
Here’s a progressive wavy record for ya’ll “Paria” by Canadian production duo Kill Them With Colour intended to accompany your high during this 4/20 week long celebration (you read it correctly, week long celebration), though if you did it right you should still be THC’ed out from yesterday’s session. The vibes on this record are electric, but I can’t help but hear an artist like Drake hopping on this and crashing the internet with it. If you’re open to new sounds, and like some melody to your trap, this one’s for you! This is a must listen and a must download!

The boys of the summer sound are back with their 25th installment of the Solé fixtape! It’s been awesome being on board with these guys since their first installment and watching this series grow into a diverse yet impressive group of artists. If you’re not familiar with Belgium native, Aeroplane, now is a great time to hop on board with his sound. Coming off a hot weekend at Coachella, Aeroplane is an artist to watch in 2014.
Hip-Hop, RnB | William Bolton – Let’s Stay Together (prod. by Times New Roman)
Posted by yabishcic on February 27, 2014
Though he’s known by his production name, Times New Roman, the lyrical version of this incredibly integrating producer is equally as impressive. William Bolton’s “Let’s Stay Together” is self produced and about to go viral. The beat is all to catchy with original lyrics that will win you over from the get go. Peep this platinum below and keep up to date with this up-and-coming artist.
Trance | Above & Beyond – Hello
Posted by Middy on February 25, 2014
New Above & Beyond. The sound of that phrase is music to our ears. Anjunabeats is celebrating its 300th release and what better way to do it than with a tune from the super trio themselves. They are still riding the momentum of their stunning acoustic album, and are slated to release another full length artist album this year, but that has not stopped them from unveiling new material in the mean time. The tune has the sounds of a recent Above & Beyond single with the roller-coaster like ebbs and flows of “Formula Rossa”, with the subtle aggressive bass line that has become a calling card for the label.

Videos | Jon Bellion – Beautiful Mind Documentary

If you follow Jon Bellion and his music, you have a sense of his creative process and the work he puts into his craft. So you hear the music and see the videos, but do you know the what goes on beneath the surface? Who the masked faces are behind the sounds? Who and what has influenced Bellion’s development and growth as an artist? Chances are, you don’t. I’m a huge fan of JB, but even I wasn’t familiar with many of the faces highlighted in this documentary.
It’s awesome to see an artist grow organically. It’s even better when you actually SEE all of those who contribute, but don’t necessarily get the credit or face time. This Beautiful Mind Documentary is a full feature look into the lives of all those bleeding their skills, emotions, and time into the music. Take the time, learn, and follow the team (links below). Tour dates coming soon. #VMG

Bootleg, Review | Miles Medina: New Fame, New Track
Posted by Nick on February 10, 2014
Miles Medina, the 26-year-old breakout artist from the San Francisco-Bay Area gave us some time on the phone the other day to talk about his career so far, what’s going on now, and what we can look for in the future.
Following a burst of fame after the release of his “My Neck My Back” remix, Miles had artists all over the map throwing down his track. He even went on to describe it as a “staple” in Lil Jon’s set for a while, and that it was rumored EDM legend Diplo had spun it a few times. Check out the banger for yourself:
Just a couple of months later, Miles would release another hard-hitting remix of Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s,” gaining him even more visibility. Shortly after this, he signed on to Monster Products as an official artist, just in time to close out 2013. Since then, he’s performed in a variety of venues, such as the Soundscape Music Festival in Tahoe, playing alongside the likes of ETC!ETC!, DJ Chuckie, Borgore, and Carnage. His performing experience spans beyond his solo career, however, doing shows with Mad Decent-featured and SF-native producer Panic City under the alias URFRIENDS. When asked how his time in the limelight will affect the duo, Miles commented that he and Panic City have “told each other that they are never going to stop doing URFIRENDS,” and “it’s never going to fall apart.”
Just this past week, Miles released a new track that encompasses a variety of genres, creating a fully developed sound that will no doubt go off in the club. The remix of Gorilla Zoe’s “Hood N***a” is up for free download on Miles’ Facebook page (and it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking to turn up a little bit). We asked Medina what we could look for in the coming months, and he said he plans to release tracks at least once or twice per month, and to look out for some “big,” unnamed collaborations. Don’t forget to give Miles a follow on his social media outlets: you won’t be disappointed.

Events, Review | Tasty Treat: The Central Coast’s Most Dynamic Duo
Posted by Nick on February 9, 2014
FNT was lucky enough to have a chance to sit down with the up-and-coming Tasty Treat, a SLO-based duo that’s been throwing out bangers together for about the last year. Comprised of 23 & 24-year-old Devin Hardy and John Smith, Tasty Treat’s beginning to gain more and more credibility as an artist, currently getting their reps in on tour with Kicks n Licks of San Diego. With support from big names like Flume, DJ Snake, and Mr. Carmack, this was one opportunity I did not want to miss.
After meeting four years ago and DJ’ing parties under the alias “Casa Street Hooligans,” Devin and John had no idea that they would soon be on track to become one of the most, if not the most, talented electronic musicians in the area. Before Tasty Treat, however, both of them had diverse musical backgrounds, including Devin’s involvement in a high school band called “The Raging Hormones.” I did my best to scour the internet for evidence, and now you can find their hit single “Hindsight” right HERE – it’s pretty special to say the least.
All kidding aside though, Tasty Treat has shown a level of proficiency in a variety genres that most other artists can’t. The two started out with a more electro style, which eventually evolved into a mix of trap and future garage. One of the best examples of this, and possibly their most popular song, is an original track titled “You Got Me.”
To touch on their live performance, it was definitely one of the better sets I’ve seen in a while. Their strong showmanship, mixed with playing in their hometown, produced an intense vibe that was pretty spectacular to watch. Starting out with gLAdiator’s “Ain’t It,” Tasty Treat got the crowed hyped up from the very beginning, and got them even more stoked on some of their own tracks. For example, when John & Devin dropped their “Gas Pedal” remix, everyone was up on their feet, singing along; and when it dropped, the entire venue went absolutely insane.
Overall, Tasty Treat is an artist you need to keep an eye out for, and if you get the chance, to go see live. Already with support from major names so early in their career, John & Devin are right on track to take over the EDM industry, and really show everyone how much they can get you going. Make sure to give them some love on their social media platforms, and be one of the people to get them there.
