Hip-Hop, Review | Grubeats’ Top 12 of ’12
Posted by Grubeats on January 14, 2013
Grubeats; fashionably tardy as always. I can’t promise I’ve saved the best for last, but hopefully this eclectic mix of tracks tickle’s at least party of your fancy. I’d enjoy hearing from you in the comments section if you have opinions on any of these songs!
12.) Skizzy Mars – Sirens
This young star didn’t sound my radar until late spring of ’12. I had heard the name and few scattered verses, but overlooked the true talent Skizzy Mars was bringing to the table until I first heard “Sirens”. With sounds similar to a young Cudi, Skizzy himself only recently graduated high school and has only begun to lie the brick and mortar for long, prosperous career.
11.) Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem
As you probably know, I’m not a die heard EDM head like many writers and followers of this site. No kandi for this kid. I do however, enjoy just about anything Skrillex lays his hands on. Couple the addictive production with Damian Marley’s rasta raps and you have pure gold. If and when hip-hop and EDM cross paths, this is the type of execution I expect. [Watch video HERE]

Albums, Hip-Hop, Rap | Mike Ballz – New Mentality
Posted by J_Salzer on January 14, 2013
Mike Ballz is one of my favorite up and coming rappers. And after an extremely long hiatus from making music, he’s back, and better than ever. Mike is a breath of fresh air for the rapping game, and I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed listening to a song of his. That being said, his latest track has not broken that trend. A phenomenal beat, with some quality bars that Mike lays down. Grab the track and be on the lookout for information regarding an album release.
Dubstep | Robert Miles – The Children (Deckscar Reworked Mix)[PREVIEW]
Posted by Sev on January 8, 2013
Up and coming artist Deckscar has been working on this track for some 6 months now as a monster exclusive for the FNT fans. I got in contact with this talented artist a while back in hopes of working something out with him, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the end result. This track is surely going to make some noise in the EDM scene, reworking an old dance craze favorite. To help show our support for him, I decided that we would release the track at 1k fans on his Facebook page to help grow his fan base a little more for his other outstanding upcoming releases.
Chill, Compilation, Dubstep | W8’s Top 12 of 2012
Posted by W8 on January 8, 2013
This image above accurately depicts my hiearchy of diversified beats for ’12. Call me weird, but I like to hear tracks as though they’re alive… as if a monster is trying to express itself through sound. This has the most chilling effect, and all these have that. Honourable mentions go to an abundance of EDM tunes that don’t appear on the list. I am forever indebted to that insane energy; no other genre can comprehend, but for now let’s have some alternative listens.
Drum & Bass, Trance | Spice’s Top 12 of 2012
Posted by Spice on January 5, 2013
Less than a week into 2013, here are the songs that continue to have the strongest possible association for me with the crazy year that was 2012. Note: heavy on the trance.
Progressive House, Trance | Middy’s Top 12 of 2012
Posted by Middy on January 5, 2013
2012 was a crazy year. ASOT 550, Sensation, E Zoo, Inox, Prydz, seeing some of the best DJs in the world two, three, four, five times. It was fun. This was not easy at all and I could go back and forth on this at any moment, but these are those tracks that you could go back to at any moment and be more than happy. They are the ones that have a place in the timeline of the year. This is very separate of what is to come in the next few days — the official best and biggest tracks of 2012.
Hip-Hop | Ryan Hemsworth – BasedWorld
Posted by Mach on January 1, 2013
Of all the songs I thought I would come across today, this was not one I’d have ever expected. After moving and spending hours on my upcoming top 12 of the year. I find it funny that Ryan Hemsworth would release another favorite of mine now seeing as one of his remixes is #8. This is an outstanding orignal from Ryan. The track doesnt spend too much on the intro which I am thankful for. The rest just takes you beyond the world, surfing through space.
