Electronic, Trap | Ostra – Won’t Do // Zu-Zumba
Posted by mimada on May 14, 2014
Over here at FNT we’re die hard DIEHIGH fans so it came as no surprise that I was instantly hooked by one of their latest releases showcasing LA-based newcomer Ostra. This EP is pretty interesting considering the two very different approaches taken with each track. The first, “Won’t Do” will cater perfectly for those Wave Racer fans out there meanwhile the second is a fascinating collage of latin guitar, Mr.Carmack-esque trap, and crowds chanting. Diggin’ the originality. Cop this EP and keep an eye out for future releases from this newbie.

Hip-Hop, Rap | EaSWay – Younger (prod. Kygo)
Posted by FilthyTaft on May 8, 2014
Young college rapper EaSWay just dropped his amazing new single, “Younger.” “Younger” is a song that embodies what music is about. Music should be about memories and moments, not social norms and unrealistic shadows of societal standards that continue to plague and linger over the music and entertainment world as a whole. “Younger” transcends time and it can take you back to a certain memory or place in time and it can also make you think of and hope for a positive future. With underlying lyrics reminding everyone to take advantage of every moment in life and encouraging people not to take their time on this earth for granted, Younger is a piece that reminds us what life is really all about.
Electronic | Kito & Reija Lee – I Need You
Posted by BP on May 7, 2014
“I Need You” by Kito & Reija Lee is nothing like what I usually post. It’s got a pop vibe but can’t quite fall into that category. I’ve been a sucker for Kito & Reija Lee since I heard them on FNT in 2011. I’m not sure why but their sound just grabs me, and I think others will have the same feeling! There is a common synth in most of the songs I’ve heard from Kito & Reija Lee and it is noticeable in this track too. If you’re familiar with them, or their big hits “Sweet Talk” and “Run For Cover” you’ll know what I mean. This new track is smooth and has beautiful vocals. I’m so excited to see what these two will do in the future. Grab it for free on Facebook!

Hip-Hop, Rap | GoldLink – Ay Ay (Video)
Posted by admin on April 30, 2014
After the successful release of his genre-bending project, The God Complex, GoldLink has debuted the first video for the song “Ay Ay”. Classified as a “future-bounce stripper anthem,” the video combines some serious booty-shaking with a mini-plot line. The video was directed by Nathan R. Smith, and is the second strong visual release from him and GoldLink in the past month.
Check out the video above, and be sure to grab The God Complex here, if you haven’t already.
Deep House | All Gone Pete Tong x Tchami
Posted by BIGLIFE on April 30, 2014
Fast becoming my favorite artist, Parisian producer Tchami releases his “All Gone Pete Tong” essential mix on the world. I’m not a big fan of essential mixes. I usually find them uninteresting. However, Tchami finds a way to bring the excitement with his signature future house sound. There’s a future house / deep house revival beginning to bubble in the states, and I can’t help but feel that Tchami and others are facilitating this process. Pete Tong. Tchami. All Gone. Essential Mix. Everything is untrue.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Saba – 401k
Posted by admin on April 29, 2014
Perhaps not known by name to many, Saba has surely made a statement for himself amongst the Chicago rap scene. In “401k” he tells a sad story shared by many kids coming up in Chi-town. Despite good grades, his environment held him back from excelling in a job setting, and led right back to the street life.
Traded a 401k for an AK
Saba spits with conviction, and although there is some fine-tuning that needs to be done, it’s clear that this young man will be riding the Chicago rap wave for the foreseeable future.
