Dubstep, House | Funky Friday #3
Posted by Mach on March 8, 2013
Funky Friday is back again with some fresh grooves to get your Friday night going. Kicking off this weeks post is an awesome mix from funks future self, Aeroplane. Aeroplane has been one of the most consistant Disco-House producers for some time now. Thsi March mix is great, it isn’t too jam packed with tracks that it can’t be enjoyed, but enough to keep the party moving. A sweet download if you are looking to get moving a bit this weekend.
I have even surprised myself with all the mixes that have been involved in Funky Friday. The Knocks have come a long way since being openers for Chiddy Bang. Having been able to catch them live once myself, they tend to sneak in a little bit of the funk. Considering that they usually follow the masses, it is really cool to hear them let loose a little bit more on this mix.
This next track is technically Dubstep, but I could not get over the 80s Miami chord progression on this track. Dr. Ozi really did an awesome job on this original.
Electro-House | Wolfgang Gartner – Anaconda
Posted by Spice on March 6, 2013
With his latest release, Wolfgang Gartner demonstrates that he’s willing to separate himself from the pack and do something a bit out of the box. “Anaconda” is a bouncy, funked-out jangle of a track, replete with “Space Junk”-esque leads and house-inspired riffs. It’s a fun and high energy journey from start to finish that is sure to get you moving.

Hip-Hop | Artifakts vs Trinidad James – Upside Down Everything
Posted by W8 on March 2, 2013
Artifakts evokes an indie-esq treatment on Trinidad James’s vocals that make him sound like an OC native. I love it! Proof that with the right beat, any vocals can sound new and fun. Don’t believe me, just WATCH.

Exclusive, Progressive House | Marcus Santoro – Emporium [FNT Premier]
Posted by Mel on February 28, 2013
The day I came across 17 year old Marcus Santoro was a special one. I remember it dearly. It was the last day of fall semester before finals. I was sitting at a table, waiting for my friends, when a girl from class came up to me with a twinkle in her eye, a smile on her face, and asked me something. “Do you wanna study together? I live on campus so we can go there if you want. It’ll be fun!” she said. “No, not really” I replied. She then scurried away, seemingly angry for some reason. It was at that moment I realized that I had made a huge mistake. I forgot to bring a lunch. After buying some food I went back to the table, popped open my laptop, and started browsing Soundcloud. That’s when I found his awesome bootlegs of Project 46’s “Feel The Fire” and Chris Reece’s “Life Is Amazing”. He didn’t completely change the songs, but the things he did change were quite good. His drops were some of the best I had heard in a while. I was also surprised at how clean his mixes were for such a young and seemingly inexperienced producer.
He’s had this track locked away for some time now and has allowed me to give its debut. “Emporium” is the quintessential big room track. Displaying mellow breaks, energetic builds, and powerful drops. Having recently been signed to the prestigous Neon Records, the future is looking bright for this young Australian.

Chill, Dubstep | River Styx – Evolve
Posted by Mach on February 25, 2013
This is one of the best Garage tracks I have heard in a while. Fun fact, River Styx is the other alias of filthy Dubstep producer, Poseidon. This track is very laid back, but the melody is something else entirely. The kicks and snare give off a Drum & Bass feel but it is the occasional blips that really add character to this great listen. After a long day at work on this Monday, River Styx provides the best way to transition to the end of your day.

Hip-Hop | OCD: Moosh & Twist – All Alright
Posted by LoffyG on February 19, 2013
Moosh & Twist just let this new track loose off their upcoming mixtape, “Back To The Basement”, which is set to hit your speakers on March 12th. Sampling “All Alright” by FUN., the guys come with a sound that’s much different than their previous releases. They even use a bit of auto-tune by the sounds of it, but not in a way that is over-the-top. I’m looking forward to hearing the entire project, as well as catching them on the Up To No Good Tour that cracks off this Thurday with Huey Mack! Grab tickets using the link below!
