Electro, Trap | Jaymes Young – What Is Love (Tim Gunter 808 Remix)
Posted by dshaq on July 23, 2013
Not many times do you get a remix of a remix that is better than the original remix. A tongue twister, yes, but a true statement as well. Tim Gunter, long time FNT favorite, delivers his newest work. Taking a song that had great meaning to him, Tim didn’t try to change the song, rather he accentuated it. Building on that great guitar riff and vocals, Tim adds heavier drums and some synth lines to give the song a more upbeat feeling all the while keeping the same serious tone. Definitely give this one a listen, I’m sure it’ll tickle your fancy.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Rockwell Knuckles – In For The Kill
Posted by VMan on July 23, 2013
Glad I checked up on Rockwell Knuckles today, I’ve been meaning to share his music with you guys. I believe it’s been since ’09 that Rockwell has been featured on FNT with his dope track “Government Name,” and today we change that. The St Louis MC Rockwell Knuckles dropped a new track/video for his record “In For The Kill,” teaming up with Converse A/V to put this production together. Personally, it’s not my favorite track by the man, it’s not as upbeat as his regular work, though he still remains one of my favorite rappers, and I’m always excited to hear new records from him. Enjoy!
Throwback from Rockwell, but a must listen nonetheless, probably one of his freshest tracks.

Posted by Middy on July 23, 2013
Readers of FNT need no intro to Pierce Fulton by now. We are here to present the preview for his latest single “Where We Were” with Polina on vocals. Continuing his strong relationship and contractual obligations with Mark Brown’s Cr2 Records, Pierce Fulton returns to the label that helped launch his career and has been the focal point for most of his single releases. The track evokes an understated big room feel that is accentuated by Polina’s outstanding vocal. The song will be released in less then two weeks time on August 5th.
Cover, Videos | Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks (Connor Zwetsch Cover)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 16, 2013
FNT favorite and veteran postee Connor Zwetsch gives us her latest cover. She’s turning this into a routine on Sunday’s and I don’t think I could love it more. Most of the covers posted on music blogs are popular, mainstream songs, but Connor chooses more low key songs, that show off her vocal ability. This week’s cover is a Monsters and Men hit, and Connor does it justice, and although I’ve never loved the original song, Connor’s version entrances me. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for more Connor coming on Sunday’s.
House | Phoenix – Trying To Be Cool (A-Trak Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 13, 2013
While the Tiesto supported Chainsmokers remix may remain a favorite here at FNT headquarters, wherever that is, A-trak’s take on Phoenix’s recent single “Trying To Be Cool” is worthy of your time and of course the free download. A-trak keeps much of the same indie vibe of the original, letting Thomas Mars’ vocals shine, while adding soothing synths and funky breakdown that switches up the tempo and feel of the track. This is a summer-dripped remix from A-trak and he is giving it out for free, so do not hesitate to hit that free download button.

Hip-Hop | Jetpack Jones – Golden Skeletons (Feat. James Joseph)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 10, 2013
FNT favorite and faithful Jetpack Jones dropped a gem about 10 days ago but I missed it, surprising, I know. It has less than one thousand plays, so you will all still be among the first to hear it, which I’m sure your ecstatic about. Golden Skeleton’s is featuring James Joseph, who was also featured on my favorite Jetpack release of all time, Solar. James has a knack for creating catchy hooks and his entrancing voice always leaves you wanting more. Jetpack’s verses are solid as always, as his consistency is something I’ve come to love in a world where every rapper has a copycat flow. Check out the track below and be on the lookout for the full Beyond Infinity project dropping soon.
