Albums, Hip-Hop, Pop | Shwayze & Cisco – Over & Over ft. Kendrick Lamar & Sophie Stern
Posted by Grubeats on September 14, 2011
Shwayze & Cisco have had one scorching summer. From Shwayze’s first major hit, “Love Letter”, which featured The Cataracs, to some of their smaller scale beachy beats such as “Summertime Music” and “You Could Be My Girl”, Shwayze & Cisco have innovated nothing short of the best ‘summertime music’. With their very chilling album, “Island In The Sun” which hit shelves Tuesday, I realized there are not many duos who are capable of creating a similar sound. The only real exception being Radical Something, who also had a very successful summer, breaking out of the gates with some very zesty tunes. But really, when the suns out, Shwayze & Cisco belong in the speakers.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to the album through fully yet, but from the half I’ve heard, this track could very well be my favorite. I can’t say I expected to see Kendrick Lamar as one of the few features on this project, but after hearing it, I couldn’t be happier with the decision. The first time I’ve heard K. Dot over this time of beat and the first time I realized how versatile he really is.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Bei Maejor – MaejorMaejor
Posted by GMONEY on September 12, 2011
Grammy nominated all-star writer, producer and rapper Bei Maejor just released his latest free project, MaejorMaejor, hosted by DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar. I haven’t had the chance to listen to this all of the way through, but judging from his impeccable track record, I am sure that this is a mixtape you wont want to miss. The tape features a cut from Sam Adams, who we haven’t heard from in a minute…although a little birdie told me he is dropping an epic electo-hop heater right here on FNT later tonight.

House | Chris Reece ft Jennifer Needles – Never Let Go | Progressive House
Posted by Juicebox on July 15, 2011
The only thing I enjoy more than house tracks with female vocals would be Kate Upton in the commercial above…who the hell is this girl and am I the only one who spit out my vitamin water (sorry Sobe, no chance) when I saw this commercial yesterday? Regardless, songs with female vocals are something else.

Electro, Events | Glitch Mob Summer Tour
Posted by GMONEY on July 5, 2011
FNT was lucky to kick off the 4th of July weekend at Red Rocks, CO with 4 hours of freeform jamming and headbanging bass. MiMOSA started the crowd off with an amazing set, stringing pop and dub together seamlessly. The crowd hyped, Lotus kept up the energy with the kind of epic, hour-long jam sesh Red Rocks is known for. But the thousands of fans had only been warmed up, for The Glitch Mob’s amazingly well-prepared audiovisuals. Seriously. It looked like Cirque du Soleil had decided to choreograph a show to the Mob’s hard kicks and monstrous synths, painting the canyon walls in an ethereal mix of colors and dancing shadows. After witnessing them absolutely crush Red Rocks, we aren’t going to miss them in Dallas tomorrow, make sure to check out their tour dates . For those of you who haven’t had a chance to experience the Mob, check out some of their most recent drops below and grab some free downloads on their facebook.
