Dubstep, Mashups | KOAN Sound vs. Will Smith – Sly Fox of Bel Air (James Scott Bootleg)
Posted by Spice on November 30, 2012
Happy Friday FNT nation. I don’t normally fool around with mashups but this one is too good to pass up. For maximum fun tonight, treat your friends to this sweet bootleg that mashes KOAN Sound’s “Sly Fox” with the legendary anthem that is the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme. Skrillex has been known to toy with Will Smith’s verse in his live sets, but he hasn’t thought of this particular combination — “Sly Fox” is the perfect swingy backdrop for this 90’s classic. For more tunes, check out James Scott’s Soundcloud.
Trance | Cosmic Gate – Calm Down (Remixes)
Posted by Spice on November 5, 2012
German trance duo Cosmic Gate just dropped the full package for their single “Calm Down,” and while you’ve probably been hearing the original in some iteration for the better part of a year, solid new interpretations from Omnia, Ost & Meyer, and Zetandel (and an extended mix to boot) make this a nice treat for early in the week. Omnia’s remix has already been making the rounds, getting airtime on ASOT #583 and in Thomas Gold’s latest essential mix , and if you’re a fan of the young Ukrainian’s driving progressive style then you’ll definitely enjoy his latest handiwork. Ost & Meyer take a more restrained approach than Omnia but weave in big room synths that strike just the right balance. Rounding out the package is Zetandel, who pulls a Kaskade and furnishes us with a chillout mix that’s reminiscent of the latter half of Fire & Ice.
Fun fact: Omnia’s real name is Smirnov Evgeny Aleksandrovich. Now say that five times fast.
Drum & Bass | Wax Motif & Neoteric – Go Deep (Torro Torro Remix)[Killagraham D’n’B Edit]
Posted by Mach on November 1, 2012
KillaGraham dropped his huge new EP, “Lifted,” only a month ago, since he has been getting an insane amount of recognition for all the work he has been doing. With support of dance floor champs Torro Torro, KillGraham has done an energy filled Drum & Bass edit of Torro Torro’s remix of “Go Deep.” This edit doesnt go deep, but the constantly changing pace of the track is a lot of fun. Not the usual you hear from Drum & Bass, but I want more.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Life’s a Beach ft. Reem Riches (Prod. By D.Shuts)
Posted by J_Salzer on October 21, 2012
FNT favorite(and veteran) Jetpack Jones releases ANOTHER free, quality, single for his loyal crew. Although I believe that the whole concept of “life is a beach(bitch?)” is overused, the message behind it is deep and meaningful. Jetpack conveys that message in a unique, catchy, and fun way, as he does with so many other mantras. Grab the download below and like his facebook page to show your support and get the latest on the Lakewood native.
Electro, Preview | Nelly Furtado – Parking Lot (Kill Paris Remix)
Posted by Mach on October 7, 2012
Kill Paris is back with another heavy and funky dance jam. He has finally started to get attention from labels, about time they caught on to his great skills. This official remix of his is releasing through Interscope Records, talk about a big move. The remix uses Nelly Furtado’s vocals is a very fun way, further powering the funkiness of this track. I have a feeling this remix will be big, it just delivers the right vibes to break-out, dance, and have a great time.
Dubstep | R Rated #48
Posted by Sev on September 27, 2012
Kicking off this weeks (late edition) of R Rated is Dodge & Fuski on the verge of their new EP release. Progressing their style of Dubstep a little more, their track Got 2 Come Together shows the fun side of their Never Say Die infused style. Comprised of the fun little electronic sounding melodies as well as the heavy aspects this track is an all around representation of what this duo can compose.
Taiki and Nulight are another duo that have been gaining support from the bigger names lately. They are signed under the dubstep don’s , Benga, label which somewhat shows in their track. This one shows a simpler side to the genre with a dark twist to it, sort of what we used to hear a lot of from Benga a few years back.
DarkElixir is known for his dark heavy tunes, and this one is no different. Providing us with a remix to Sulfiltronik’s Bruk! , this track has its dark twists and hollow synths that he has mastered.
Another growing favorite of mine, Tom Budin, has put out this awesome original mix. Using his heavy synths in the drop he creates a trancey style of dub with his chords alongside some pretty catchy vocals.
EDIT: Figure pulled through last minute this reckless, heavy VIP of Super Sonic Brave Waves and we couldn’t wait to post it. So here you guys go and proceed with caution.
Trap | D!RTY AUD!O ft.Nikkimarie – Drop That Ass (Original Mix)
Posted by Sev on September 14, 2012
FNT recurring artist D!RTY AUD!O has released another fun filled trap original this week already featured in UZ’s UKF mix. Although trap has slowly brought the decline of Moombahton (which saddens me), this track has a nice catchy feel to it, but I just can’t put my finger on exactly what it is. You won’t catch me posting too much trap just because I can barely stand it with all the influx of it, but this one was able to make it to my favorites so download and enjoy.
