Abstract Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Videos | Marc Goone – Yung Walter White (prod. Aaron Zuckerman)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 8, 2013
Aaaaand Marc Goone is back with his best video to date. Marc is easily one of the most creative artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of being acquainted with. When I began watching and tweeting about Breaking Bad, Marc and I bonded over our love for Walter Jr. and when he told me he was making a video based on the hit series, I was ecstatic. Without a great track, this video would be nothing, and on that score, Marc delivers. The beat, produced by Aaron Zuckerman, has a creepy, edgy feel that Marc takes over with a catchy hook and hard verses. Check out the video above and check out Marc and I’s hilarious banter on his twitter.
House | Nicky Romero, Nilson & John Christian – Still The Same Man
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
Nicky Romero takes a big 180 with this production (in a good way) and goes to his pre-Toulouse sound, before the revolution he started with massive presets to tracks like “Camorra” and adds a groove we have not heard in quite some time in his tracks. Nicky Romero gets funky with fellow Dutchman Nilson & John Christian on “Still The Same Man” with this modern reinterpretation of the 2006 track “Same Man” from Till West & DJ Delicious. In his debut on Toolroom Records, Nicky Romero shows his versatility as producer with the strong tech and disco influences of the original, adding deft key play to this 2013 rendition of “Still The Same Man” that is sure to invigorate any dance floor.

Progressive House | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – Wakanda
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
On this packed music Monday comes a surprise from Axtone who have decided to release their single from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike “Wakanda” a week early and no one is complaining. The gregarious Belgian Djs are coming off of a banner year and after the release of “Madness” last week they look to top 2012 with an even better 2013. As a reference to a fictitious African country in the Marvel comic “Black Panther”, “Wakanada” mixes tribal influences with their high energy sound found in the heart pounding four on the floor bass line, heavy kick and driving synths. Expect to hear this early and often as a contender for one of the tracks of WMC, especially after already being championed by the likes of SHM & Thomas Gold.

Dubstep, Preview, Videos | Koven – More Than You (Official Video)
Posted by Mach on January 28, 2013
Damn, should have remembered Koven as one of the artists to look out for this year. He has a decent amount of known releases for this spring, including a collaboration with Modestep. This original from Koven is massive. The vocals are an ever so sweet touch, but Koven murdered our ears by riddling them with bass. I will be honest, the music video isn’t much to see, but I guarantee that this track blows minds. “More Than You” is part of an upcoming EP of Koven’s also titled “More Than You.” The EP features a remix of the title track by DC Breaks plus another orignal from Koven called “No Blocks.” The EP is set to release March of this year, no specific date as be stated yet.
Hip-Hop, Pop | Leaf – Naked & Wasted [Mixtape]
Posted by Jess on January 27, 2013
Introducing Leaf, an extremely talented artist who is one to watch in 2013. The 17-year-old New York native just dropped her debut mixtape entitled Naked & Wasted in which she raps and sings over a selection of Electronic, Trap and Pop productions. She even goes in over Carnage’s incredible remix of “Spaceman”. Some of my favorite tracks off the tape include “Running”, “Spaceman”, “Lie To Me” , “Can’t Say No” and “Wreckless”. Read what she had to say about it and stream/download it below.
“Naked & Wasted stands for Naked Emotions & Wasted Youth. The title is a mock at society and the culture of my generation at the moment. Everyone follows the same trends, music is only taken at face value (& made to sell) and if you don’t break it down for the listener they’ll never take advantage and look deeper then they should. Naked & Wasted is a compilation of electronic music, trap beats and R&B/Pop vocals. Melodies and lyrics written completely by myself it is truly an open diary of my life, how I feel and how I’m sure many others do as well. The mixtape embraces the typical struggle of any human being dwelling on this earth. Though it may dabbles in pop melodies & synthesized beats it is not just another party anthem.” – Leaf

Chill, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Afterburners 3 Mini Movie (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by J_Salzer on January 22, 2013
FNT favorite and frequenter Jetpack Jones drops off his longest video to date. Being the fact that it’s quite literally a mini-movie, it spans 7 and a half minutes, but they’re an enjoyable 7 and a half minutes. Jetpack and a few of the homies that will be featuring on Afterburners 3 all star in the movie. The music is on point, my favorite track being the old school sample one that happens after the first encounter with LB, who’s clowning on a statue in King park. Jetpack Jones is the only rapper I know who has been consistently releasing good music for the past two years, and if this is any indication of what his next project will be like, then I can’t wait. Like his facebook page below and check out the video above.
Dubstep | R Rated #60
Posted by Mach on January 17, 2013
After taking a few weeks hiatus, Sev and I can finally bring back R Rated. Kicking off our return is this insane remix from KhemehK. It’s unbelievable how much different kinds of bass were used coherently. Definitely one of nastiest tracks I have heard in weeks. No word on its release yet, but this full preview is worth getting into.
Hugs&Drugs dropped this tight preview tonight. It is some seriously grimy Dubstep. No release date yet, considering this is still a work in progress.
I have been listening to this preview for days now. Cyrex has done an awesome job on this remix so far. Not may people remix Kill The Noise’s older tracks, so it is pretty cool to see someone like Cyrex to take one on. Track is currently a work in progress.
Dino Safari did something I would have never expected from them, they just never crossed my mind as a group to produce something as deep as this. No release date yet, but I’m adding to my must have list.
I was actually disappointed in the lack of dirty tracks for this post, feels like everything I checked out was a preview and nothing to download. Eliminate was the only exception really and the Fytch & KushBerry remix is just way too good to pass on, seriously, you have to check it out.
