Electro | Mord Fustang – If You Want (Original Mix)
Posted by mimada on September 2, 2013
Mimada here, broadcasting to you live from Sweden for the next few months. After sorting out the internet situation abroad, I could not be MOAR excited to make my first return post about anyone but Mord Fustang. Throughout the entirety of my experience with Mord he has remained one of my all time favorite artists. His style, so engaging and vivacious, is really unlike anything else out there right now yet is consistent enough to never disappoint. His latest track, “If You Want,” has all the standard Mord Fustang characteristics (slow build, bubbly repetitive what-sounds-like vocals, epic and totally satisfying conclusion) but has subtle elements of experimentation (see: 2:25). As soon as I heard this, I seriously signed up for Beatport account just so I could download it (yes, I’m a little behind).
Mord Fustang is like your favorite flavor of ice cream that you love to overindulge in. And when you start to think you’ve had enough of it, he drops a track that’s the same flavor, just with a new topping. And it’s even better than before.
As we say our final goodbyes to summer, we raise our Klondike bars, Swirled froyo cones and Drumsticks to you, Mord.

Featured | Ayah Marar talks working with Calvin Harris, The Real, & more! (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by VMan on August 29, 2013
Last week, I had the pleasure and honor to roll with UK artist Ayah Marar on her first US promo tour, promoting her chart topping single with Calvin Harris “Thinking About You,” off the double platinum selling album “18 Months,” and her debut album “The Real.” Ayah and I had a chance to sit and talk regarding her career, working with Calvin Harris, how “The Real” came about, and what we should expect from her in the future.
Personally, I’ve had “The Real” on repeat since I was introduced to it. The album is the fine line between underground music and mainstream music, and what’s great about it, is that it’s done organically, and not forced. My favorite tracks off the album would have to be “Beg Borrow Steal,” as it has big vocals, and an anthemic sound, and the titled track “The Real.” Her track with Calvin “Thinking About You” is also a banger! Click past the jump and read all about our discussion with Ayah Marar regarding her debut album, and how she ended up featuring on one of the biggest album of the past 2 years, along with Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Florence, and more!
Hip-Hop, Rap | Caskey – Too Much Information
Posted by VMan on August 28, 2013
The MC from Orlando, Caskey dropped his much anticipated mixtape “The Transient Classics” today, along with huge visuals to the first track “Too Much Information.” I believe with this video you will be seeing a lot of more of Caskey, he’s on another level as an artist. So far my favorite tracks off the mixtape are “Seen Some Thangs” featuring Rittz , and “Alec Baldwin” featuring Riff Raff, who always delivers with the lines: “Aww shit who it is, the white Lil Wayne!” Download his mixtape, peep the video, and wish Caskey a happy 21st birthday! Shout out to the Avengerz and Myles William for top notch productions! Must Listen and Must Download! Get that mixtape!

Albums, Dubstep | Protohype – Fly Remixes
Posted by BP on August 27, 2013
Protohypes’s Fly Remixes EP is incredible. Each remix is hard hitting, but still unique. All the remixes maintain the beautiful vocals by Alina Renae, and lots include the deep growls you’re looking for in a heavy dubstep track. Protohype’s original song “Fly” is great to begin with, and each of the artists did it justice. My personal favorite is Isqa’s remix. Until it comes out on September 3rd, we can listen to it here!

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | BT Talks Ghost Producing, ASAW, Sharks & More (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by Middy on August 27, 2013
BT has become a standard bearer for innovation and excellence in dance music. He is noted as a creative producer of many different styles and sounds, as well as an acclaimed film scorer and programmer: the mind behind the now necessary stutter edit. His 9th artist album “A Song Across Wires” instantly shot up to number one on the iTunes dance charts and has produced such singles like “Must Be The Love”, “Skylarking”, and “Tomahawk”. We had the chance to chat with him last week before his show at Marquee, and of all the people I have had the chance to interview like Hardwell, Arty, Thomas Gold and Andrew Bayer, BT was probably my favorite guy to talk to.
Later that night we got to catch his set at Marquee that featured a heavy dose of ASAW and more danceable tracks from the lengthy BT discography. There were plenty of avid BT fans in attendance, so this was a party he knew how to play, even at a bottle service club like Marquee. Click past the jump to read our discussion on ghost producing, which he had some very interesting things to say about, the album, his passion for sharks and more.
Chill, Electronic | Kastle – Death From Above ft. JMSN
Posted by BP on August 25, 2013
Kastle has been one of my favorite producers for a few years now. “Death From Above” featuring JMSN (who is also awesome) is a single off of Kastle’s self-titled album for sale on iTunes. The vocals from all different octaves somehow flow together with the off beat rhythm. Kastle keeps his signature sexy, simple style throughout the whole album, and this single is no exception. It’s saucy and smooth and a must-have for chill electronic fans!
Dubstep, Electronic, Trance | Andrew Bayer – Need Your Love / England / Detuned
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
One of the most musical and compositionally gifted producers in dance music now, Andrew Bayer has served up a three track EP for your ear drums and they are delighted. “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave“, remains my favorite album this year and one of the most popular selections “Need Your Love”, got a club mix to translate its beauty to the club setting, which it did without losing any of the original elegance. “England” was the gem of “Anjunabeats Volume 10“, and now we have the full copy in all of its glory. First premiered at TATW 450 in Bangalore, “Detuned” is a glitchy, dubstep track that shows departure from what we normally get from Bayer, but still remains true to his sound.
