A week and change after releasing the audio for his first single, which was also the official debut from Wyclef’s indie label All Handz On Deck, the San Fran native shares the visual set for “Dazed and Confused”. The intro had me questioning the direction of the video – dudes wearing pig masks, c’mon you didnt? – but soon after, the hog heads only solidified the songs message. Dazed and Confused, who can’t relate?

Electro, Trap | Jaymes Young – What Is Love (Tim Gunter 808 Remix)
Posted by dshaq on July 23, 2013
Not many times do you get a remix of a remix that is better than the original remix. A tongue twister, yes, but a true statement as well. Tim Gunter, long time FNT favorite, delivers his newest work. Taking a song that had great meaning to him, Tim didn’t try to change the song, rather he accentuated it. Building on that great guitar riff and vocals, Tim adds heavier drums and some synth lines to give the song a more upbeat feeling all the while keeping the same serious tone. Definitely give this one a listen, I’m sure it’ll tickle your fancy.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Rockwell Knuckles – In For The Kill
Posted by VMan on July 23, 2013
Glad I checked up on Rockwell Knuckles today, I’ve been meaning to share his music with you guys. I believe it’s been since ’09 that Rockwell has been featured on FNT with his dope track “Government Name,” and today we change that. The St Louis MC Rockwell Knuckles dropped a new track/video for his record “In For The Kill,” teaming up with Converse A/V to put this production together. Personally, it’s not my favorite track by the man, it’s not as upbeat as his regular work, though he still remains one of my favorite rappers, and I’m always excited to hear new records from him. Enjoy!
Throwback from Rockwell, but a must listen nonetheless, probably one of his freshest tracks.

Electro-House, Preview | Showtek Feat. We Are Loud! & Sonny Wilson – Booyah (Preview)
Posted by Middy on July 13, 2013
Hardstyle ambassadors to the electro scene and the creators of some of the biggest tracks in the recent couple years (including some or many of Tiesto’s), Showtek preview their latest output alongside We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson on vocals. This reggae infused track combines the hard-hitting electro-style (electro house and hardstyle, I may have just been made up right now) sound they have crafted for themselves in the past few years that others have rushed to try and copy, with both some rock and reggae elements in the instrumental and vocals that really give the track its character. As usual, you can expect a well-produced track and something that could creep its way into sets this summer as a change of pace from many of the generic minimal drops being produced now. Release is coming August 19th on Spinnin, so you will have to wait over a month for this.
Electronic | Tune In Crew – Cumbia pour la Sixième République
Posted by Spice on June 28, 2013
Our favorite politically minded French producers are back with some funky cumbia for your ears — just in time for summer heatwaves and the Fourth of July. This track has an undeniable throwbacky quality, along the lines of something that might be playing during the opening credits of a Quentin Tarantino movie. I blame the guitar riffs. And who ever thought those Latin drums would marry together so well with French? While the sample in “Cumbia pour la Sixième République” is technically advocating for change in France’s democratic institutions, you’ve got to love revolutionary overtones when Independence Day is on the horizon. (Refer to the description on Soundcloud — Google translate if you’re like me and working off of rusty college French.) Vive la République!

House | Avicii ft Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up
Posted by Middy on June 25, 2013
Rejoice, Avicii is making it cool for you to wear cowboy boots and your neon YOLO hat in the same outfit to your favorite mediocre local festival! First premiered on the Mainstage during his unpredictable set at Ultra Music Festival, Avicii‘s lead single “Wake Me Up” from his upcoming album “TRUE“, has finally hit stores worldwide. It has been released in Europe for a week now, but as of today it is available worldwide on Spotify and iTunes. It is exciting to this change in direction from Avicii and the possibilities of what he can bring in the future since he has inspired so many copycats in the past few years. Whether or not his fans will be supportive of his new sound 100% remains to be seen, but you can expect September 17th to be a landmark day for one of the titans in dance music.
Electronic | Coyote Kisses – Black Cat
Posted by Middy on June 25, 2013
Coming off the release of their dynamic and diverse 4 track “Thundercolor EP“ last month, Coyote Kisses return to their roots of free downloads and give away “Black Cat“, showing the slow change in direction of their sound. As an ode to their beloved, recently deceased cat Banksy, the two American producers create a unique offering of distorted vocal bits, a subtly funky bass line, lush synth chords and soothing top line. In the future look for more works in the same spectrum stylistically as this one and less and less like their previous dubstep originals remixes.
