Electro, Exclusive, Featured, Hip-Hop | FNT Exclusive: .OZ – Just Kick It Remix EP

Posted by on May 2, 2014

.OZ Just Kick It Remix EP

FNT EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE

After listening to this EP, you’re going to be wondering why you hadn’t discovered this bedroom producer far earlier in your music listening career. Formally known as .OZ and currently stationed in the Phoenix locale, though native to LA, he is attending The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences refining and expanding his style while developing himself as an artist.

SoundCloud | Twitter

My first real encounter with .OZ was on one of my random summer mornings about a year ago now where I had one of my YouTube channel subscriptions playing, chilling on my patio, with the music in the background really – I wash’t paying that much attention to it. It had been awhile since a song had played that I had caught my attention so I was just about done with the station I had been listening to when Marvin Gaye’s “Sunny” familiar tune started playing and it’s probably a sin to skip that song so I left it on, not noticing that it was a remix. Within a minute, I was frantically running back to my phone, dying to know who had made much such a integrative, banging, song ~ I immediately went to his SoundCloud feed and pressed Follow.

As the months went on, I saw him post new material and slowly but surely he built himself a nice collective of songs that were of legit quality and are on a level that I feel like everyone can connect with, which is something that is hard to capture nowadays because of so many subgeneric artists. And after I reached out to him to get his first EP drop ever as a FNT exclusive because it’s just too good of a project to go unnoticed, I didn’t regret it a single bit.

Though he should be known as The Last Honest Producer, he formally goes by Moises Godoy. After linking up and getting a feel for his style, I can easily say he is one of the dopest, most down to earth, selfless producers I have ever got the pleasure of meeting. Not simply because he’s truly passionate about the music that he makes, but because he actually put’s some conscious thought behind the music that he’s making. It’s like he’s taken the essence of the original and put some special sauce on top to take it to the next level sort of deal.

The “Just Kick It” Remix EP is a compilation of .OZ’s interpretation of the things going on around him over the past year and a mastered product of his musical ear. Fresh New Tracks has the pleasure of sharing this EP with you exclusively via our SoundCloud feed.

If you like what you hear here, his next venture is to drop a Original’s EP in about a month which will probably be nothing less of impressive after what he’s dished out so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if this new kid on the block breaks out into the industry soon enough.

Jez Dior released his latest collaboration with up and comer G-Eazy over a Danny Score produced track “Old No. 7” and FNT”s got it covered! As an ode to their favorite past time and the good old American whiskey drink, the two MCs spit their vices like true rockstars, and throw a toast up to those who never believed in them when they’ve already come so far. Reminiscent to my ears of that Nelly and Tim Mcraw joint “Over and Over Again,” I recommend you guys check this joint out and support! This is a must listen!

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Andrew Rayel Exclusive Interview + Cielo Show Review

Posted by on April 17, 2014

The Mozart of Moldova, the prince of trance, whatever you wish to call Andrei Rata, known professionally as, Andrew Rayel, it is abundantly clear the talent that is possessed by the 21 year old phenom. He has become the hottest up and coming talent in trance right now, with his tunes consistently being supported by your usual suspects of top DJs, culminating in a spectacular collab “Eiforya” alongside the trance Jesus himself, Armin van Buuren.

We were lucky enough to catch Andrew Rayel before his debut set here in NYC last Thursday and chat about being a college student, the upcoming album and much more. His set was a thing of beauty. 3 hours of nonstop action from start to finish, Rayel had a packed house all the way until the end of his set a little before 4am. His set included the fast paced styled mixing and loads of exclusive mashups that he is always making fresh, including one between “Bigfoot” and “Ping Pong” that really set the tone early on. He has become known for his gigantic melodies in the trance realm and has translated that to unofficial remixes for big time prog tracks like “In My Mind”, “Reload” and a new one “Under Control”.

His artist album that you can see the teaser art below is set to hit stores near you at the very of May. Get ready because it is going to be something very special and not your standard club fanfare you see elsewhere. This will be different. Also can anyone figure out the last word? I have “Find Your H_ _ _ O _ _” and can’t figure out the last word.

Electronic, Trap | $aturn – Clift Hanger

Posted by on April 16, 2014

As $aturn gains more and more attention I am becoming more and more impressed with the quality of work put out. This track has been floatin’ around the net for about a week as an exclusive release but now it’s officially released to Trap City’s record label Slimkat Records. It’s just too cool to pass up including it on FNT. “Clift Hanger” is fun and bouncy. The unique sounds and synth work are divine. Trap beats carry the floaty melody through ups and downs that will charm your ears. Luckily this track is available for free download if you’re diggin’ it!

Chill, Trap | OZZIE – MARBLE FLOORS

Posted by on April 8, 2014

If you’re looking for some trap that is a little different, try “Marble Floors” by Ozzie. I’ve always been a big fan of Ozzie’s chill sound, and this track is yet another example of his creativity. Since I am just returning to writing for FNT from my spring break adventure in London, it’s only fitting that I show some support for this UK artist. This track is mellow with an underlying trap vibe. With altered vocals and lots of interesting sub melodies, this song will keep you intrigued listen after listen.

Kill Them With Colour - Ordinary LoveFacebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Kill Them With Colour hits us with a bootleg remix of U2’s “Ordinary Love” adding a fresh house spin to a classic rock record. The duo is made up of Toronto natives Wesley Marsh and Jason Carr who have made a name for themselves consistently releasing remixes of Kendrick Lamar, Disclosure and Bon Iver tunes among others. I  strongly suggest you check out their SoundCloud. Consider this post FNT after-hours, and this record couldn’t be anymore fitting. This is a must listen and a must download!
