Exclusive, Interviews, Review | Wallpaper. Exclusive FNT Interview @ Fillmore SF 11/24
Posted by FilthyTaft on December 2, 2013
FNT had the honor of going to see Wallpaper. live, alongside 3OH!3 in San Francisco last Sunday night. We caught up with Wallpaper. after his set, and you can check out the interview we had with him above. The loud audio and the dark/festive lighting and setting perfectly reflect the mood of the night, so our apologies if it’s more going on than your normal interview, but I think Ricky Reed would be happier with this “hesh” setting than if it were in a quiet room in the back away from the party.
Although, after hearing Wallpaper.’s hit song Hesher, you may assume that all their music is very electronic based and therefore their concert would be more like a rave where a DJ plays loud music and everyone crowds together. However, Wallpaper. blew us away when their entire set was performed by a team of 4 – two drummers, one dancer/secondary vocalist, and of course, Ricky Reed himself. Besides showing us their awesome musical capabilities, they engaged the entire crowd using more than just music — but more of entertainment as a whole. There was awesome music being played, even with electronic songs like Hesher being perfectly recreated on the drums. There was also a whole lot of awesome dancing going on, and just a whole lot of good and energetic vibes that captured the audience as a whole. Hard to say I’ve really experienced anything like it before — but it was awesome, and we definitely look forward to seeing them perform next time they’re in the bay again.
P.S. Check out the awesome pic we got during his performance, and check it out when he instagrams it in the screenshot below.
Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Drake feat. Sampha – Too Much (Etched Remix)
Posted by W8 on November 26, 2013
Today comes a new remix from the talented Etched, along with his debut album Pixelated that is out now. In the midst of a million and one Drake remixes, this one really is an attention grabber. The drums are fantastic and it’s easy to get lost in. The thing that appeals the most to me about this remix, along with Sampha’s lone release of the track is that they don’t contain the high pitched screeching of his voice like on the original with Drake (probably why Sampha released his own version) Listen up!

When I was introduced to Electric Bodega, the first name that came to mind was Bodega Bamz, though I wasn’t if they were affiliated, which they’re not, but it only makes sense that they remix Bodega’s latest single “Don Francisco.” The track has a latin feel to it mixed with hard hitting drums, and a resonating bass. It’s been getting a ton of support from radio DJs being officially premiered on NYC’s Hot 97 by Cipha Sounds, and receiving support from Funk Master Flex. Mr Bamz has even commented on the track, loving the attention it’s brought to his original record. I can’t blame him! This is a must listen and a must download!

Electronic, Hip-Hop | The Physics – Play It Off
Posted by BP on November 23, 2013
The Physics, from south Seattle, have released this single called “Play It Off” from the forthcoming album “Digital Wildfire” that will be out on December 13th. The Physics bounce around in the sub genres of hip hop, and I’m not even sure what to call this one. Perhaps indie hiphop? Nonetheless, this track is tasteful and smooth. Mellow drums and rocking melodies flow with the sultry vocals to create a unique track. If you like this track, you can download it for free, and look out for the full album in December!
Trap | Cyril Hahn – Perfect Form Feat. Shy Girls (The Ninetys Remix)

It’s no surprise that The Ninetys put out another sweet trap remix. This remix of “Perfect Form Feat. Shy Girls” by Cyril Hahn is on point. It’s got lots of drums, and the vocals are smooth and sultry. The hints of piano are a nice touch. This one’s a free download so be sure to grab it!
