Dubstep | SirensCeol – The Ocean Feat Alissa Dawson
Posted by BP on September 16, 2013
SirensCeol released a new EP called “The Ocean” to Beatport a few days ago, and I have to say this is my favorite track on the EP. It’s catchy, nostalgic and has been stuck in my head since I first heard it! The drop is full of growls and mechanical noises and topped with rising synths. The pacing in the song seems to be just a bit different than most dubstep tracks. The whole EP is cool so check it out!

Chill, Trap | Gilbre Forte – Nolita (The Ninetys Edit)
Posted by BP on September 14, 2013
Here’s a sweet free remix from The Ninetys for your weekend playlist! This remix of “Nolita” by Gilbre Forte is mesmerizing and expertly produced. The Ninetys just has a way with percussion that makes my ears very happy. This trap track is breathtaking and easy to get lost in. The Ninetys will be releasing an EP on October 7th and this song is proof that we should all be excited!
House, Indie | Zanski x Bombs And Bottles – On Gold
Posted by BP on September 12, 2013
“On Gold” is the second track on Zanski and Bombs And Bottles two song EP called “We Built This City”. It’s composed of two tracks that contain the same base structure, but one is mixed and mastered by Zanski and one by Bombs And Bottles. I had trouble categorizing this track and eventually landed on something like neuro indie house…ish. It’s very unique and very ear pleasing despite the genre placement troubles. The vocals are really a standout and it’s free for us to download!
Mix | NEST HQ MiniMix: Phonat
Posted by J-Tiffy on September 12, 2013
Phonat is an amazing artist. His latest six song EP “Identity Theft” contained some of the most creative, technical, and forward-thinking contemporary music available, in my opinion. It houses songs ranging from dark and chilling, to ambient, to funky and bright. Phonat’s music pushes boundaries without sacrificing sophistication. More recently, he crafted a remix for Andrew Bayer’s excellent track, “Need Your Love“, which rivalled the brilliance of the original. His funky, soulful, and glicthy futuristic sound is addictive and inspiring.
This mix is a masterpiece. Phonat moves with ease between genres – all accented by his innovative yet accessible sound. It is an impossibly smooth compilation of deep house, euphoric dubstep, soul, and Phonat’s own brand of future sound. The songs and sounds are carefully selected, and the transitions are beyond slick. He has created a mix that whisks you on away and takes you on an adventure.
Along with this mix, The Nest HQ posted an interview with the man in question; Michele Balduzzi. The mix is free to download, and I very highly recommend that you do so.
Electronic, Videos | MØ x Diplo – XXX 88
Posted by mimada on September 10, 2013
While certain big-name female celebrities continue to slowly chip away at the world’s image of a role model woman (not pointing any fingers this time), 2013 has fortunately reeled some incredibly talented female acts into the spotlight who go above and beyond to compensate for the wreckage. See: Banks, Jessie Ware, Charli XCX, Lorde, Aluna Francis, just to name a few. And adding to the list I present to you my latest female vocalist of interest, Danish electro-pop songstress MØ (pronounced “moo”). Take one part Scandinavian sweetheart, one part sultry temptress, top it off with a fat gold chain and a ponytail and you’ll get this bonafide badass singer. Check out the video premier of her latest track titled “XXX 88,” produced by the one and only Diplo and you’ll get a feel for what I mean. And if you still want mo’ MØ, keep an eye out for her EP and album release later this season.

Posted by Middy on September 8, 2013
Canadian house duo, Danzfolk are fresh faces to the scene, but they have the makeup to become the progressive stars from Canada. The duo just released a 4-track EP “The Other Side” for free that shows the wide range of styles they can put together in one body of work. The EP combines big progressive melodies, blaring horns, and even a funky, disco track “Bring It Back“, to finish out the EP on a nostalgic note.

Preview, Progressive House | Michael Brun – Gravity EP (Preview)
Posted by Middy on September 5, 2013
He’s been saying it was coming for months now, and for a time we all believed it was imminent. But after a while, like the boy who cried wolf, an artist can only say “soon” so many times before fans stop believing you and stop paying attention to your release date posts. At last, after a few recent remixes, we have that precious EP from Michael Brun and a solid release date on September 23rd. It includes “Halfway”, featuring vocals from Zashanell, which has already seen radio play, so expect that one to become a big single for Mr. Brun.
