Drum & Bass, Preview | Etherwood – Give It Up (Hospital Records “Sick Music 3” Announcement)
Posted by Mach on October 24, 2012
I just have not been able to get enough of this over the past day. Etherwood first made his big appearance with his collaboration remix with Jakwob of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games.” Etherwood is one of the most underrated Liquid Drum & Bass producers out there. Of course that will change once this releases on Hospital Records’ new upcoming compilation “Sick Music 3.” The compilation consists of 28 tracks from Fred V & Grafix, Netsky, Gridlok, Muffler, Dany Byrd, Etherwood (of course), and many more. This great collection of music from Hospital Records is releasing Monday, November 26th. For the time being enjoy this preview of Etherwoods beautiful work.

Drum & Bass | DnB Fridays
Posted by Sev on August 17, 2012
As if the original wasn’t great enough, this DnB remix by Mattix and Futile takes this track to the next level. Keeping things simple, but not boring, these guys definitely filled in all the gaps for me that were left in this track and completed the EP.
Big ups to W8 for finding this awesome DnB tune. He nailed it with this uplifting original tune from Neutralize featuring vocals from Emily Underhill.
Another uplifting tune steering away from the heavy Dnb, but not too liquid either. This awesome futuristic sounding drum and bass never gets old and always brings me to a state of euphoria.
This one changes the mood a little to a more jungle styled dnb. This reminds me of some of the older dnb that used to be produced a few years back. Nothing too fancy, but fast paced enough to get the crowd going.
Last but not list I recommend everyone pre-order this awesome dnb compilation releasing from one of Mach and I’s favorite labels, InfraRed Music. Veteran artist Wickaman has been tearing apart the dnb scene through this label lately and all of his tracks are absolutely crazy.
Dubstep, Electro-House, Review | Zeds Dead & Omar LinX – The Living Dead EP
Posted by Mach on July 25, 2012
Redbull posted up a preview only premiere yesterday on their site for this insane EP and the feed back has been immense. Zeds Dead has again teamed up with Toronto’s master lyricist Omar LinX to dish out another knockout blow to our eardrums. If what we have been hearing from these three isn’t enough proof that they should become an official trio, I don’t know what is.
“Crank” kicks off this EP with Zeds Dead’s notorious bass-crunch. Omar LinX opens up the track by putting the mic on its knees, the spitting coming from him alone. Zeds Dead takes the rest from there finishing strong, but just getting started. The next track, “Take A Chance,” is another crunchy Dubstep track. Again Omar LinX was a key factor in its perfection, while Zeds Dead created the feel Omar cooked. With great things also come disappointments here and there, that being said this EPs only disappointment in my mind was the EP’s title track, “The Living Dead.” The idea of the track is cool, but hearing it in action you can tell it is lacking in any form of excitement. Though the title track was not anything special, the last track of the EP is undoubtedly one of Zeds Dead’s and Omar LinX’s best works. Omar does his thing, expressing his emotional flow flawlessly over the calmed beats of the track. Zeds Dead gives us a drop style we are not use to hearing from them, as if we are supposed to be Crunkstepping in the lights of Swag. With the one exception in this EP, it is still an amazing compilation from Zeds Dead & Omar LinX.

Progressive House | Jesse Draak & Ryan Fieret
Posted by W8 on July 20, 2012
Residing in the Netherlands are two young emerging producers, Jesse Draak and Ryan Fieret. The youthful duo has a thorough understanding of progressive house with a keen ear for euphoric builds and cheery drops. They recently released a compilation of tracks containing five remixes and two originals, which they are generously giving away for free. After reviewing all the tracks it’s my pleasure to present my three favorites, enjoy.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Childish Gambino – ROYALTY (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 5, 2012
Childish Gambino delivers this brand new mixtape for our listening pleasure. This 18 track compilation from Mr. Glover features some FNT favorites including SchoolBoy Q, Chance The Rapper, Danny Brown, Bun B, and many more. Make sure you get this because it is a MUST DOWNLOAD. My notable tracks would be Toxic, They Don’t Like Me, and Black Faces. I think this was a big improvement from his Album, feel free to sound off in the comment section with your opinions.
Compilation, House, Review | Axtone Presents Thomas Gold
Posted by Middy on May 31, 2012
Axtone not to be outdone by other labels put Thomas Gold to the task of putting together their 2012 compilation filled with Thomas Gold’s impressive discography, most of the releases this year on Axtone and a few other hand picked tracks from Thomas Gold. The 33 song album illustrates the sound and skill of Thomas Gold. Thomas Gold showcases one of his strong suits as a bootleg specialist in this compilation with the plethora of new and unreleased bootlegs in this superbly mixed compilation.
The first disc aptly starts with a new Thomas Gold track “The Beginning” with powerful synth chords, a soft piano melody and a driving bass line. The album then moves through tracks such as the still relevant Hard Rock Sofa – Quasar, Thomas Gold’s 2012 Rework of “Teenage Crime”, a solid rework but Axwell & Henrik B have still yet to be dethroned and a bootleg of “Sing2Me” with Red Carpet – Alright, giving some vocals to his anthem. He picks out Axtone & other major label tracks like “Resurrection”, “Eyes Wide Open“, “Troll“, as well as some of his own remixes and reworks such as “Set Fire to The Rain” (one of the most downloaded tracks in FNT history), and his 2011 rework of “Marsch Marsch” to fill in much of the rest of the first album. The first disc finishes off as it started with another new Thomas Gold original “Fanfare” with its complex bass lines and rhythmic patterns with matching synth chords, bookending this great start to the compilation.
Disc two starts us off with a special intro edit of his 2011 summer anthem “Alive” with Aussie superstar “Dirty South”. It then moves on to an update of one of his first big singles “AGORa” with the vocals from Axwell’s “I Found You”. The second disc is where we really get into the new Thomas Gold remixes and reworks, so be ready to be bombarded by new sounds from Thomas Gold. He then gives us his rework of Sander van Doorn’s anthem “Koko” adding the flavor of the day adding a strong clap to the bass line with changes to the mix and the rhythm, while keeping that instantaneously recognizable melody. We then move through his remix of “Judas”, an unsung remix of 2011 and another unreleased bootleg of his with John Dahlback – Blink and Hard Rock Sofa – Blow Up (Thomas Gold & Axwell Remix). The next original track appears next in the form of “Circles”, a subtle, uplifting piano driven progressive house track. We then get into favorites of the last few months with tracks like “Million Voices“, “In My Mind“, and his important remix of “The Wave” with a new rework of Digitalism – Zdarlight included as well. He finished off the compilation with a few of his older, more low tempo, techy tracks that bring you down after the all energy spent listening to the massive 33 track Axtone compilation.
Per usual Axtone and Thomas Gold exceed expectations. Axtone has been releasing some of the best tracks of the year and Thomas Gold has been improving with each release. This partnership on the compilation is perfect and it shows in the mixing and the tracklist. Tracklist is after the jump and also check out the little competition below where you guess the mashup put together by Thomas Gold for the chance to win a lot of prizes. It is quite easy though if you are really challenged the answer is after the jump.
