Exclusive, Featured, Progressive House | FNT Exclusive: Sevyn Streeter Feat. Chris Brown – It Won’t Stop (Sevag Area-201 Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2014
Pop smash “It Won’t Stop” from Sevyn Streeter & Chris Brown’s gets a progressive makeover from Sevag. Sevyn Streeter wrote on several of Chris Brown’s recent hit singles like “Yeah 3x”, so the original collab was bound to happen. Sevag works with the original, but adds a punchy, bouncy bass line and remakes the melody to fit his vision. If you are looking for a refresher of this tune, or a remix that makes excellent work of pop vocals, this one is definitely for you. Anyone in the NYC area, catch him every Saturday at his residency at Mister East that will include a show alongside Mark Knight on the 15th.

Deep House, Exclusive, Featured | FNT Exclusive: Raik ft. Henri – Hold Me (Henri Remix)
Posted by Middy on January 20, 2014
Talented singer / DJ / producer / general do it all musician, Henri was featured on German producer Raik’s recent EP “Hold Me”. The title track was a solid, deep effort, but seemed to need a little something extra and in stepped Henri to take the reigns. It is not common for the featured vocalist to remix their own song, but here it works and brilliantly. Fluttering plucks accompany a soft bass line and chords, all held together by the hypnotic vocals from Henri. You can grab the original on Beatport here, but we recommend you get the Henri remix for free exclusively through us right now.
Electronic, Exclusive, Featured | FNT Exclusive: Illenium – For Truth
Posted by Middy on January 7, 2014
We introduced you to Illenium through his huge melodic dubstep single “Drop Our Hearts” and now are proud to present the next single to come from his upcoming EP “Risen”, “For Truth”. Illenium totally switches his sound on “For Truth”, creating something similar to the glitchy, orchestral style found with Glitch Mob, but with his own unique touch and character. He does not want to get pigeonholed into one type of music or one genre and the EP exemplifies that ideal. “For Truth” is something you will be playing a lot as it balances aggressive electro with cinematic melodies into one glitchy, well crafted tune. Look for “Risen” dropping on January 14th and keep up to date with everything the Colorado producer is doing on his socials below.

Breakout artist Gutter Brothers were kind enough to let us in on their exclusive live mix from Dim Mak Studios during their set at Blasted. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, the LA-based duo has been banging out top-of-the-line bass music since October of last year, gaining support from big-name artists like Borgore, ETC!ETC!, Kennedy Jones, and more. Despite being on the scene for such a short period of time, these boys have already thrown down releases on Ultra, High Intensity, Clubtapes, and other labels, even going on to win Insomniac’s Discovery Project, becoming a featured artist at Beyond Wonderland. Expect big things from these guys in the future, check out their new EP “Dat Ass” (which was #3 on the Beatport Hip-Hop chart), grab a free download of this mix, and then bump it aloud as you can; it absolutely hits (including the unreleased “Steve Twerkle”).
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews, Progressive House, Trance | Mat Zo Interview + Exclusive Superman Download
Posted by Middy on May 31, 2012
When you see a new Mat Zo track, you really have no idea what blissful sounds are going to be cascading into your ears the moment you hit play. You know it will be a superb production from beginning to end and a feeling of joy will linger long after the last note has dissipated into the space around you. He could send you into a primal frenzy with tracks such as “Mozart”, “Rebound” or “It’s Yours” or sooth your soul into a trance with “The Lost”, “Near The End” or my favorite mashup ever “Satellite Dynamics” using the Arty’s remix of his “Synapse Dynamics” and Ocean Lab “Satellite”. Then there are those you cannot really pin down Like “Bipolar”, “Frequency Flyer”, “Superman” (which we have an exclusive free download for you guys) or Tate & Diamond Feat Nicolai (Electrified (Mat Zo Electrofied Dub).
Mat Zo is a known quantity in EDM having been releasing tracks since the young age of 16 and at 17 was tabbed by Tiesto to remix “Driving To Heaven” on the 7th edition of his peerless compilation album “In Search of Sunrise”. Since then, Mat Zo has been steadily growing in fame and as a producer, with releases on Markus Schulz’s Coldharbor Recordings, AVA Records, and most importantly, Anjunabeats. He also has a drum n’ bass moniker MRSA that was quite active on Hospital Records from 2008-2010, but has since gone into a sort of hibernation. This shows the eclectic nature of Mat Zo and how easily he can make any sort of music. I do not want to bore you before the interview so make sure to catch him on the “Language Tour” with Porter Robinson & The M Machine this summer coming to a city near you. Also his latest single “The Sky” has been widely supported and is a great track, so be sure to get that and like him on Facebook and follow him on twitter. Last but VERY much not least we have an exclusive download of his hit single “Superman”, so do not hesitate to download it if you do not already have it.

1. FNT: “This whole genres business is like the Berlin wall, and I’m there with a forklift and a wrecking ball” Mat Zo, September 2011. What is your creative process ie do you start with melodies first and work from there and how do you build your sound in each song. How do you decide what to put in your sets because they include music from a variety of genres?
Mat Zo: I always start with the main idea/theme then build around that. When I choose music to play out all I’m really looking for is something that will move a crowd. Genres don’t really play a role in that.
2. FNT: You started as a guitar player at 8 years old and your mom was a professional violinist. How did this influence you to move towards music and how did you shift towards dance music?
Mat Zo: I started liking dance music at an early age so it grew with me as much as coming from a musical family did.
3. FNT: Your half sister Alma Zohar is a successful singer. Who gets more praise from your parents when you guys are all together and who would you say is more talented?
Mat Zo: Haha! She is definitely a better lyricist.
