Hip-Hop | Phony Ppl – Phonyland (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on January 18, 2012
To be honest, I had never heard of Phony Ppl before today. After giving them a listen, this is one of the most unique and interesting bands I’ve ever heard. Phony Ppl hail from Brooklyn and are made up of 9 group members. However picking a genre for them is tough though, they incorporate so many different sounds with jazz riffs to electro synths to laid back guitar tracks, which never seems to bore. Good verses on so many of the songs but then they switch it up and hit you with some R&B. This is the type of music that I really appreciate because so much thought and time went into this, 3 years to be exact. This is definitely a Must Download. Even if you don’t like it, it’s worth it to check out and appreciate these guys’ artistic ability. Check out their Facebook Here.

Preview, Progressive House | Cherry Coke & Alex, Audible, Chris Wittig, Jay Cosmic & Tjernberg
Posted by W8 on January 17, 2012
Teaser above from Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike & Regi called Momentum is set to release February 14th, be ready for that. So below, Never 2012 sounds similar to Avicii’s Never Enough with eccentric vocals complimenting a progressive trance like explosion of monumental happiness. I’d expect 2012 to be quite the year for Cherry Coke given his exalting ear for music, let’s wait and see what happens next.

Summit is a track that’s been stored in my archive for quite some time now and always cheers me up. Expect a really nice remix of this track coming soon. Get it on Beatport.

I got this track the moment it reached Beatport, and honestly didn’t think too much about it. After observing the positive response it now has, why not. Chris Wittig’s take on It’s Alright features a soothing synth with that glitched idea Alesso first coined in his remix of Pressure. Get it on Beaport.

Tjernberg and Jay Cosmic are both under the age of 18. I’m fascinated by these young producers and their talent thus far excites me!

Preview, Progressive House | Alesso, Walden, Inpetto & D’Anconia
Posted by W8 on January 12, 2012
Alesso with another one of his many ID’s still not yet released is sounding epic. I had the opportunity to see Avicii and Alesso at separate times in the same venue and Alesso was by far my favorite, his transitioning between tracks was stellar, never dropped the energy of the crowd, and catered a variety of new material. It leaves me wondering what exactly is Avicii doing, I would pay to see him take some time off touring and get back in the studio. Now occasionally there comes a time when tracks tend to accumulate in mass like we have here below, all three are worth your time and would be impossible to place in any particular order, give them all a try, and lastly – NLN deserves huge credit for this post.
Brightness is candy to my ears. I spent a while trying to remember what the drop sounded like, its a toy I used to play with as a kid. A tube with a ball that would go to either side and make a cool noise haha, any remembrance?. Anyways – Get it on Beatport.
Walden – Brightness (Original Mix)
No More Serious Faces I’d say does just that, A great sounding reason to be happy. Get it on Beatport.
Inpetto – No More Serious Faces (Original Mix)
Elodie is a calm rage, definitely the best of both worlds.
D’Anconia – Elodie (Original Mix)
House | Bingo Players – Rattle (DJ Bent Bootleg ft. Ru Williams)
Posted by Sev on December 30, 2011
DJ Bent, out of Connecticut, collaborating with Ru Williams to create a sick vocal mix to Bingo Players Rattle track. A dope tune for all to dance to for NYE. Ru Williams vocals provide a new R&B aspect to this house track, which in my opinion works out very well.

Posted by GMONEY on December 29, 2011
Swedish DJ Oskar Egesten newest bootleg has all the makings of a great house song: infectious bass, dirty synth work, and sick melodies. This is one of the many gems in his thirty minute house set “Egesten Sessions 11” featured below.

Mainstream Remix | Gym Class Heroes – Ass Back Home (SmarterChild/Oxymorrons Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on December 21, 2011
With insane remixes to KOPPS’ Lights, Rage Against The Machine’s Testify, and most recently Flo Rida’s Who Dat Girl, SmarterChild is becoming a staple around FNT. After recently joining the Pilot Creative team, which has spawned hits such as Moves Like Jagger and Stereo Hearts, SmarterChild teamed up with Oxymorrons to create this upbeat remix to Ass Back Home which stays true to the original pop ballad, but adds enough flare to get even the most stubborn ass moving on the dancefloor. Heart it on Hypem here.
