Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Rudebrat – Always Wonder (Skrux Remix)
Posted by BP on September 28, 2013
Surprise, surprise, I’m posting another Skrux remix… but can you blame me? This drumstep rendition of “Always Wonder” by Rudebrat is on point. I’m not usually a fan of drumstep, but I love the original track and Skrux really blew me away with this one. It’s fast and moving like drum & bass should be, and the melody is one that’ll stay in your ears long after the track ends. It’s free for us for to download!

Pop | St Lucia – Too Close
Posted by VMan on September 11, 2013
Ever since South African artist St Lucia was brought to my attention with the Xaphoon Jones remix of “We Got It Wrong,” I’ve kept a watchful eye on them. Today they blesses us with the release of “Too Close,” off of their debut full-length album “When The Night.” If you’re a fan of synth-pop, and feel like listening to a symphonic piece today, St Lucia’s got you! This is top-notch production. I look forward to hearing the album, and the bundle of remixes that will come about of this project! Must listen! After the jump check out their tour dates this fall.
Hip-Hop, Rap | ChristianDeeLA – “Thurzdey.” (Prod. By Canis Major)
Posted by VMan on September 5, 2013
Louisiana MC Christian’Dee make his debut on FNT with “Thurzdey” produced by Canis Major. I’ve been following this MC since I was introduced to the NWLA movement by the homie Joe Cool. One track I fux with hard from Christian is a video he dropped a couple months back “Yo Rappin Ass” I’m not sure if “Thurzdey” will end up on his project “Subtle Weekends,” due for Winter release, but either way Christian’ smart but real rap is refreshing, and exactly what the game’s been missing. If you’re a fan of Logic, Devin Miles or Tayiib Ali, you’re going to like Christian’Dee. Stream this record, and get familiar with the movement! Must Listen!
Bass, Electronic, Mix | OWSLA After Dark Pt.II: Kill The Noise
Posted by J-Tiffy on September 4, 2013
So I’m on a Kill The Noise kick, but can you blame me? He dropped his remix EP and then BOOM he unleashes this huge mix. I think Kill The Noise is an amazing artist and I’m such a huge fan of his music, but I might be an even bigger fan of his mixes. His song choices, arrangement, and transitions are always progressive and spot on. This is an hour of powerful music; it’s heavy, it’s excellently mixed, and best of all, it’s Fresh.
I’ve included Part 1 of OWSLA’s After Dark series; another bass filled mix by Jack Beats, which is also great. You can catch upcoming mixes from this series live on BBC 1Xtra. The times, dates and artists are listed on the Souncloud page I’ve linked. Here’s hoping they keep the wicked mixes coming.

Electro, Progressive House | Avicii – Wake Me Up (EDX Edit)
Posted by VMan on September 1, 2013
About 17 days ago, EDX released a 1:40 long preview of his progressive house remix of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” and he needs to release the full length track! Not sure when that will be, but the Swiss producer/DJ brought Avicii’s masterpiece to another level, and though we get a taste of the build and drop towards the end, it’s not enough! I’m usually not a big fan of previews, and don’t get around to posting them, but I had to make an exception with this one. This track is a must listen, because it’s that good, and help EDX out, by voting him in the DJ Mag’s Top 100 by clicking here.
Progressive House | Nicky Romero vs Krewella – Legacy (Vicetone Remix)
Posted by Middy on August 24, 2013
With the power of both of their fan bases, Symphonica “Legacy” soared right up to the top of the Beatport charts and stayed their for quite some time. However, the original seemed like left over parts from “Symphonica“, with great vocals from Krewella put on top. It needed remixes badly. In step Vicetone, who need no introduction anymore with their powerful, driving melodies. They apply this to “Legacy”, giving it the originality and stamina it needed.

Dubstep | BT & Fractal – Letting Go
Posted by BP on August 16, 2013
This is my second time this week posting about Fractal – meaning he’s really been killin’ it. This melodic yet grimy dubstep track with some input from his partner in crime Au5 is just awesome. It’s one of those songs that gets stuck in your head on repeat all day. The catchy vocals sound fantastic laced with the melodic growls. Fractal has definitely got a new fan on his hands! Check this one out on Beatport!
