Mashups | Will Drusch Mashups
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 30, 2010
It’s always refreshing to discover a new mashup artist who can handle tempos, levels, and avoid awkward spots. For a kid working off of his free version of Garage Band, Will Drusch isn’t doing all that bad in this game. Although he’s using older tracks, what’s coming out of my speakers sounds fresh and new… This video above inspired me to get a mullet for a second but then I came to my senses. “I approach you from the front you’re kinda like wow this dudes pretty serious then I walk away and you’re like damn he likes to party with two R’s”.
Will Drusch – Call Me A Mili and Act a Fool
Will Drusch – Buy You A Remix To Ignition
BONUS: Here’s another mash that uses Call On Me – purely Jock Jams… Love it, definitely some party fuel.
Mr. Rogers Productions – Call On Me If You Wanna Jam

Videos | Kanye West – Runaway (Short Film)
Posted by Juicebox on October 24, 2010
There’s been some great debate today over this video. Some have hated it and some have loved it. Since the video is abstract, some are struggling with interpreting the film. You can click here to get a full explanation from Kanye himself. Amongst some of the themes are individuality, death, race, and pygmalion.
The main criticism has been that Kanye thinks he’s a God. I’ve got news for you, you’re right! He is an elitist. He’s like that fraternity member that you hate simply because you’re not in a fraternity. What I tend to disagree with, however, is the argument that he should stick to rapping. He may not be a genius, but he definitely has vision and is extremely creative.
This video is just another avenue for him to express his creativity through. When you tell him “he should just stick to rapping” you’re essentially putting him a box. And that my friends, just doesn’t seem fair to me.
House, Techno | Christopher S
Posted by GMONEY on October 23, 2010
Christopher S has been all over the house scene lately so I thought I would compile some of his best recent offerings. Christopher S dubs himself as “The Fashion House King” because well.. “he celebrates fashion and house!” I am definitely not the resident fashionista (that’s A if anyone is wondering) so I can’t comment on his clothes, but what I can tell you is that he has a knack for producing house bangers which usually feature increasing sequences that culminate in huge, uplifting chorus bars. (Note: due to the fact that these are house tracks they all have 1+ min intros so preview the middle to get the feel)
Christopher S. Ft. Manuel – You Make Me Feel High (Original Mix)
Christopher S. Ft. Manuel – Relight My Fire (Christopher S. Remix)
Christopher S. Ft. Fannie Luescher – Free (Let Yourself Go) (Club Mix)
Electro, Hip-Hop | The Neeks ft Ratatat- Party.edu
Posted by Juicebox on October 4, 2010
The Neeks are 3 seniors at Bowdoin College from Miami, Dubai, and California. They met at music class while struggling to learn serialism and the 12 tone technique. They’re now working on an album mixing hip-hop/electronic sounds that is coming out in the near future. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from these guys.
Electro, House | Party Fuel
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 29, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s officially pledging season. You know what that means? It’s time to bust out some new party fuel that provokes everyone to go buck-wild and thus create the largest messes in frats nationwide.
If you take one part “old” frat banger (Show Me Love) and add that to one part “new” frat banger (SHM – One) you end up with one absolutely filthy track. Honestly, a part of me feared this bootleg might not work too well, however, Trifo prepared this beat almost perfectly.

Interestingly enough, you can definitely hear elements from both the tracks used above, in this AfroJack remix. The signature “clap” sound from One seems to be catching on and for good reason – it’s a great tool to accentuate drops.

Fonzerelli maintains a perfect balance of sounds with his remixes; there’s a noticeable theme, yet they’re not redundant and monotonous. A number of DJs suffer from a lack of ingenuity; rather than exploring new boundaries, they confine themselves to a common theme. I guess the idea that success breeds failure rings true for some, but Fonzerelli continuously debunks this adage.

This might be slightly overdone, but I’ll leave that conclusion up to you. Lend the preview an ear if you’re a fan of the original.

Here’s a basement thumper with some authentic instrument sounds thrown in the mix.

Electro | Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 28, 2010
Want to know how to make a viral video these days? See Duck Sauce’s shining example above. This popped up almost everywhere today and although we strive to be unique on FNT, I couldn’t resist posting this originally themed video which happens to be packed with some fantastic cameos.
Here’s the original version of the song; it’s funky yet sweet. Give it a shot, it’ll definitely grow on you if it doesn’t catch your ear the first time around. Support the artists by purchasing this song on BeatPort.

Here’s a remix that toys around with some extra electronic sounds.
