Trap | Grouplove – Ways To Go (Grandtheft Remix)
Posted by BP on August 10, 2013
It’s been slow in the dubstep world this week so here is some fun trap for your ears. Grandtheft’s remix of “Ways To Go” is just full of energy. From the piano chords to the vocal chopping and sampling, this song is on point. It doesn’t feature many of the “trap sounds” that we’re all used to hearing, and uses a lot of elements of the original indie track in a new way. This remix is the epitome of a summer jam, and will be hitting iTunes on August 13th. For now you can listen to the stream below!
Progressive House | EDX – Live My Life (Extended Vocal Mix)
Posted by Mel on August 4, 2013
Branching off slightly from his typical production style, EDX gives away a track that he made for last years EDC NY that he says crowds love. “Live My Life” is a lot more mainstream than his usual songs but it’s still a fun and catchy tune.

Posted by admin on August 4, 2013
Best known for their radio single, “Crickets” featuring Jeremih, Drop City Yacht Club has returned to show us they aren’t just your average hiphop group. Spinning off the classic Nas track, “I Can”, DCYC reconstructs his hook from: “I know I can, be what I want to be” to “I know I am, fresh as I wanna be”. The light, yet swagger-filled hook, in addition to three verses from Kristo, A.Wolf and THX make for a fun song to jam out to on any occasion.
Drop City is heading out on tour with rap legends, The Goodie Mob this fall so be sure to check out their dates and stop in for a show if you’re in the area. Enjoy and watch Drop City Yacht Club continue to build up buzz as they progress in their music.
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Adrian Lux Interview [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Middy on July 30, 2013
Prinz Adrian Johannes Hynne aka Adrian Lux has had a long, winding road to where he is now, rising to his well-respected status in dance music. First getting into music around the age of 16, he started as a hip hop DJ before moving into the more underground realms of dance music that were popular at the time in his native Stockholm. He eventually found his sound, becoming heavily influenced by indie pop and a wide range electronic artists in Sweden from Andrew Beyer, to Axwell, to Eric Prydz.
We had the chance to talk about his tour and his show last Saturday, his early DJ life, moving to America and what he is in store for the future. Having just released his debut album last spring, and another on the way soon, it will be very exciting to see everything he has in store for us.
House | Kaskade – Atmosphere (AMTRAC Remix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on July 29, 2013
I had a predisposition to this song before I gave it a listen, just because I saw AMTRAC on it. Let alone the fact that I’m a big Kaskade fan and really enjoy the original track. As an artist, AMTRAC has an infectiously funky feel. His tracks ooze a deep yet fun, and usually soulful vibe. He always provides interesting work on the vocals of his tracks which help keep his songs incredibly interesting. He brought all of those signature elements to this remix coming right out of the gates with Kaskade’s airy vocals, almost isolated, and then gently lifting you up to a level where he can hit you with the beat. From there, the song is an ever changing adventure; each phrase different from, and yet complimenting the phrase previous to it. This remix really showcases AMTRAC’s sound and skill, and if you like it then definitely check out everything he has touched, it’s all equally awesome. This track was released as half of a remix package out now on Beatport.

Hip-Hop | HAHA-YO – Dancing Like An Idiot [Video]
Posted by admin on July 19, 2013
HAHA-YO has returned funkier than ever and on a mission to protect the secret sauce.
Whatever the secret sauce may be, HAHA-YO most definitely put plenty of it on this last song and video. In an industry filled with monotonous, unoriginal artists I can say without hesitation that there is no one quite like HAHA-YO. The duo can make the most introverted, shy listener get up on his or her feet and dance with the play of a song.
“Dancing Like an Idiot” is without a doubt on the lighter side of hip-hop and has a sound sure to attract many kitchen-dancers, shower-singers, and motor vehicle-rockstars alike.
Directed by Mikey Van Beuren, the video is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. A mini-movie to go along with the soundtrack, the visual follows Boyder and Lukey the Bird on their journey to save their pizza dynasty and each other. There are -thankfully- no shots rapping in to a camera from a rooftop or in a studio, instead the team has given you something to sit down, enjoy and actually get intrigued by.
HAHA-YO has recently released their EP, HEY., and if you missed it, it can be downloaded here for free!
