Glitch | CloZee – Gotta Get Some Sleep
Posted by BP on January 6, 2014
I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted a glitch track, but what better day than my birthday to try something new? I couldn’t be happier I found it today since, as some of you know, Chicago is dangerously cold right now and we could use a distraction. “Gotta Get Some Sleep” by CloZee is fun, bouncy, and has a great mood to it. The horns and bass are funky and fresh. I’ve been following CloZee for a few years now, and she always impresses me. The slow section around 3:10 is a cool surprise so look out for that! This song is free on Bandcamp along with a lot of other sweet songs on the “Whompadelic Trip” album.

Electronic, House | Uppermost – Reminder
Posted by Mel on January 1, 2014
It appears as though I, Mel, am going to be providing you guys with FNT’s first post of the year. This is a big honour because, well, first off, nobody else wanted to do it. Don’t worry though everyone, I was here for you and jumped at the opportunity when I realized I was pretty bored and really had nothing else to do.
The song that will be ringing in the new year here at FNT is provided by Frenchman Uppermost. “Reminder” is a french house track infused with some nu disco vibes. It features a funky guitar as well as nicely done vocal chops. Well, I have met and some might even say surpassed my quota of talking about the song at three sentences so I will just leave it at that. Uppermost is an outstanding producer and if you like this track there is plenty more on his Soundcloud.

Exclusive, Featured, House | FNT Premiere: Milkwish – Super Life
Posted by Middy on December 19, 2013
We have another exclusive stream for you during the holiday season, this time presenting the first track from Polish house and nu-disco producer, Milkwish’s upcoming EP. His tunes have garnered support from industry heavyweights like Chuckie and Roger Sanchez and cross genre lines between groovy house music and funky, disco influenced tunes. “Super Life” is an incredibly funky nu-disco track with bright synths and just the right amount of glitchy elements to separate it from similar tracks. “Super Life” will come out as part Milkwish’s two track “French Romance” EP on January 6th. Stream it in full here exclusively until it is released next year.
Exclusive, House | FNT Premiere: Years & Years – I Wish I Knew (Logo Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 16, 2013
Straight from Kitsuné to your speakers, we have the premiere of the Logo’s remix of Years & Years “I Wish I Knew”. Taken from the Gildas Season’s Greetings Mix, Logo have added a superb remix to the holiday themed compilation. Deep and soulful, Logo creates a totally new ambiance from the original, pitching down the vocals, with a totally new, soothing instrumental from the Parisian duo. Kitsuné has consistenly been at the forefront with funky and soulful house music, and here is yet another example from another producer hailing from Paris and its seemingly limitless talent pool.
Electro | Disclosure – Latch (Stwo & Phazz Edition)
Posted by yabishcic on December 16, 2013
Phazz has to be one of my favorite musical installations in the industry in the last couple of years and his remixes really do it for me. This isn’t only funky, but feel good as well and the original Disclosure song has a run for its money with this Stwo & Phazz edition; “Was the other night with my bro @stwosc on skype and we suddenly decided to do this edition of Disclosure … Hope y’all like it folks.” -Phazz
Electronic, Indie | Boombox – Waiting Around
Posted by yabishcic on December 16, 2013
‘Waiting Around’ is a funky, electronic indie song from the live band / DJ hybrid duo Boombox. It is the first single off their upcoming album Filling In The Color, set to come out January 14th. This song incorporates a large amount of live band elements from guitar solos to horns leaving us with a jam inspired twist reminding me of The Grateful Dead, which isn’t surprising with Guitar / Lead Vocalist Zion of Boombox being the son of two members from the group (Keith and Donna Jean Godchauxt).
