House, Techno | Boys Noize – Go Hard EP
Posted by Spice on June 25, 2013
Is there anyone out there quite like Boys Noize? With his latest EP, the aptly titled Go Hard, the talented Mr. Ridha once again proves that he’s pretty much in a league of his own. His high octane brand of acid house is present in each of the five new tracks debuted yesterday (with the possible exception of “Starwin,” which is replete with acidy squelches but ultimately a buoyant disco confection), but the more remarkable feat is the level of versatility he displays. The EP veers from ominous and consummately analogue (“Inhale/Exhale”) to techno meets trap with notes of hardstyle (the titular “Go Hard”) to the aforementioned “Starwin,” which sounds like something Madeon might make after watching the full Discovery video and then sucking down a bunch of nitrous. “Excuse Me” (escoooooz me) and “Push Em Up” are both hard-nosed dance floor jams that are impossible not to move to. Go Hard is well worth the cost of an iTunes download — in the grand Boys Noize tradition, it manages to be dark, fun, energetic and fresh all at once.

Electro, Mix, Trap | Hard Summer Future Stars Mini-Mix #5 feat. Keys N Krates
Posted by mimada on May 30, 2013
Okay woah, I’m just gonna cut to the chase here and say this mix is BANGIN – Keys N Krates is proving themselves as a serious predator in the music game right now. This has got pretty much every track that you need to play at your parties if you ever want anyone to have any sort of fun right here, perfectly transitioning one into the next. Granted, my favorite parts are Keys N Krates original songs, especially I Just Can’t Deny (7:25). And you know, I can’t deny that this will probably be the only thing I listen to for the rest of the weekend.
As you can see, this is the 5th installment of HARD’s Future Stars Mini-Mix Series, which has so far featured Paper Diamond, Jerome LOL & Samo Sound Boy, Green Lantern and Justin Jay. You can check out those sets and many more here (can’t promise they’ll be as good as this one though…!)

Electro-House, Review | Knife Party – Haunted House EP
Posted by Mach on May 6, 2013
A lot of people have been highly anticipating the next Knife Party release. Knife Party had stated that their “Haunted House Tour” was not related to an EP, but as you can see that’s not the case. I do like this EP, but it is further proof of how lazy the duo is when it comes to producing. My take on this EP is positive and negative, just to warn those of you who will take offense or disagreement to my opinions of each track.
“Power Glove” is a fun, hard hitting Electro-House track that I am sure is a blast in a live setting, but half the time I feel like I am listening to another VIP of “Internet Friends”. “LRAD” isn’t my style of House, I know it is a lot of fun in a big room with a good sound system, but I can’t get over how repetitious this style is. I like to be kept interested in a song, this just sounds like a track meant to please the tasteless festival attendees who are on countless drugs anyways. Speaking of an “Internet Friends VIP”, I am a bit disappointed that Knife Party included the actually VIP in this EP. I will not lie that I have been dying to get my hands on it, but seeing as “Power Glove” already sounds a bit like the original in the drop, I can’t help but think they could have picked a better original to include instead. Finally we get to the only track on the EP that actually sounds like a lot of effort and time was put into its creation. “EDM Death Machine” starts out with a kicking beat and light use in samples, it sounds like they learned from over sampling in “Internet Friends”. I love the progression Knife Party uses, my first listen was exciting, they managed to keep me on my toes the entire way through.
To those of you who are thinking “What are you talking about? This EP is amazing!” I do think it is good, amazing is a little far considering how less creative this EP feels as a whole. I would however recommend this to everyone. Knife Party has always made it their job to help you rage, even if they appear to be extremely lazy at times.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Sam Lachow – 80 Bars (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 1, 2013
Now Sam Lachow did something dope here. As he described in the Youtube description, he created a beat compilation of all different types of beats. My favorite has to be the first one, because I love Sam on piano driven, melodic beats like Nothing’s Gonna Change. This track has something for everybody, it’s got the heavier beats, the synth drivens, the melodics, the harmonics. The video, put together by Sam is great as always, and just depicts him having as much fun as ever lurkin around the nation’s hip-hop hotbed. Check out the video above and follow Sam on twitter for some solid entertainment
Dubstep | R Rated #68 (Ft. Exclusive From Masq)
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2013
Sev and I have a real treat for our fans of R Rated this week. Filthy producer, Masq, has been kind enough to provide FNT with an epic Neuro-hop bootleg for the fans.
Amon Tobin is a legend throughout the music community, having lead to the creation of some of the most epic bass tunes. When I saw that Masq took on “Lost & Found” from Amon Tobin’s most recent album “Isam” I was instantly excited. That excitement was soon satisfied with one of the sickest remixes I have ever heard of Amon Tobin. Masq is one of the most underrated producers I have laid my ears upon, keep an eye out for him in the future.
