Preview, Progressive House | Maor Levi & Pierce Fulton – Wanna Be (Preview)
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2013
A collab between two genre melding producers, New York resident Pierce Fulton and Israeli producer Maor Levi create their new single “Wanna Be” out April 12th on Cr2 Records. The track leans on a euphoric, trancey synth line with pitched female vocals and atmospheric breaks that give the original mix all the makings of the next hit for these two. The club mix takes an edgier approach with a gruff low end added, making it more useful for certain live stages. Coming April 12th, this one is not to be missed.

To keep the hype up from Na Plam’s single “Roam the Night” with Bad Boy Bill, Nay drops some nasty visuals live from his show in Hollywood. The mastermind behind Krewella’s “Krewlife” series, Miles Evert Productions kills it again on the lenses and continues to prove himself as one of the top videographers in the industry. Captured perfectly, Na Palm once again shows off his talent in front of a packed house at Hollywood’s super club, Avalon. Don’t miss Na Palm this Spring/Summer, he is dropping his tour schedule on his newly redesigned site HERE soon! Enjoy!
Progressive House, Trance | Above & Beyond – Black Room Boy (Above & Beyond Club Mix)
Posted by Spice on February 25, 2013
After weeks of hype and airtime, Above & Beyond’s club mix for “Black Room Boy” has finally dropped on Anjunabeats. In all honesty, this isn’t my favorite thing the trio has put out by any stretch — while I do like the way they’ve refashioned the chord progression in the chorus, I think the overall sound is a little generic. Of course, it’s not objectively bad by any means; it successfully takes the dark, Pet Shop Boys-ish vibe of the original and gives it a harder edged spin, and that’s generally the aim of their club mixes. It’s also guaranteed to appeal to a broader audience (think a large festival event). But at the end of the day this will always be a third or fourth tier A&B track to me — that’s just what happens when you’ve set the bar as high as Tony, Jono and Paavo have. Don’t just take my word for it, however; give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Events, Review | Above & Beyond turn Roseland Ballroom into a Temple of Trance
Posted by Middy on February 22, 2013
It is said that Above & Beyond live creates an atmosphere much like that of a religious experience. Whether you are the person right up front wearing an Anjunabeats T-shirt, the girl on somebody’s shoulder making a heart hands and getting one back from Tony, or the guy dancing all the way in the back, Above & Beyond have a way to connect and touch every member of the audience on a deep, personal and emotional way that few other Djs can do. I credit Above & Beyond for helping take the full on plunge into dance music. It was not until I saw their club show at Glow DC two summers ago right after the release of Group Therapy, a show I almost did not get into due to issues with the overzealous bouncers, that I dove head first into this thing called dance music and eventually led me here at FNT.
Pop | Stafford Brothers – Hello ft. Lil Wayne & Christina Milian (Pleather Remix)
Posted by Jess on February 11, 2013
In stark contrast to the original version of the track, Pleather comes through with a unique and smooth take on Stafford Brothers’s Cash Money single “Hello”. Switching gears from the original, the remix feels more like an 80s love ballad than a club anthem. In my opinion, the production fits the vocals of Christina Milian and Lil Wayne even better than the original. The track becomes available on Beatport on the 14th, but you can download it today for free! Make sure you become a fan of Pleather on Facebook to stay up on future releases.
Progressive House | Nervo, Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Omarion – Army
Posted by Middy on February 5, 2013
After its first public unveiling in late 2011, “Army” now with Sultan & Ned Shepard added to the title, is finally released after months and months of no information on whether or not this one would ever come out. The track that has highlighted Nervo sets for over a year now is here for your consumption in either radio or club mix form. “Army” combines the melodic sensibilities of both the Nervo twins and Canadian duo Sultan & Ned Shepard, coming together with an infectious top line that sounds even better finished and when coupled with the vocals from Omarion and subtle vocal harmonization from Nervo, you have a hit in the making.
