Exclusive, Mix | Fresh New Tracks Exclusive Mix: Gutter Brothers @ Blasted
Posted by Nick on October 8, 2013
Breakout artist Gutter Brothers were kind enough to let us in on their exclusive live mix from Dim Mak Studios during their set at Blasted. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, the LA-based duo has been banging out top-of-the-line bass music since October of last year, gaining support from big-name artists like Borgore, ETC!ETC!, Kennedy Jones, and more. Despite being on the scene for such a short period of time, these boys have already thrown down releases on Ultra, High Intensity, Clubtapes, and other labels, even going on to win Insomniac’s Discovery Project, becoming a featured artist at Beyond Wonderland. Expect big things from these guys in the future, check out their new EP “Dat Ass” (which was #3 on the Beatport Hip-Hop chart), grab a free download of this mix, and then bump it aloud as you can; it absolutely hits (including the unreleased “Steve Twerkle”).

Trap | Play-N-Skillz – MCHG (Remixes)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 2, 2013
Play-N-Skillz have been quiet as of late, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been working hard. Coming off the success of their “Tom Ford” remix that saw spins on national radio, they release their anticipated “Magna Carta Holy Grail” remixes to the blogosphere. Look for a big single featuring Red Foo, Krazie Bone, and Lil Jon in the near future from the Grammy boys. Keep an eye out, they’re on the rise.
Electro-House | TheFatRat – Dancing Naked
Posted by Middy on September 20, 2013
TheFatRat returns with a wild new single that blends funky disco and gritty electro into one seamless track. The video adds a very interesting element to the whole track, taking TheFatRat into various elements of pop culture from the “Levels” video, to “Thriller”, to Lion King, to Minecraft, Super Mario and many more. The video shows the talents of the German producer in not only music, but also in video production and editing. He has always been known for being original, and both the production and video reinforce that trend. We look forward to more TheFatRat produced videos in the future.
House | AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It (Tchami Remix)
Posted by VMan on September 20, 2013
French producer from Paris, Tchami remixes AlunaGeorge’s “You Know You Like It” and does the track immense justice. Tchami calls his genre future house, and incorporates a lot of elements from Hip-Hop, Trap, and that UK Garage Sound. Not going to lie I’ve had AlunaGeorge’s album in the CD player ever since I saw them live at the Bowery in NYC, and I’m glad talented producers are giving them the proper treatment! This is a must listen and a must download!

House, Techno | BLAZ – Idiot // A-Spec
Posted by Spice on September 12, 2013
Some techy madness for those of you like to go van deeper. Blaz is a producer out of Austin (#ATX baby) who likes to keep it dark, minimal, and borderline analog. “Idiot” is robotic future music of the highest order and “A-Spec” is the kind of track that, if played loudly and on repeat in the dark, will quickly cause you to lose much of your ability to keep track of time. Check them out below — free DLs; get weird on this rainy Thursday.
Mix | NEST HQ MiniMix: Phonat
Posted by J-Tiffy on September 12, 2013
Phonat is an amazing artist. His latest six song EP “Identity Theft” contained some of the most creative, technical, and forward-thinking contemporary music available, in my opinion. It houses songs ranging from dark and chilling, to ambient, to funky and bright. Phonat’s music pushes boundaries without sacrificing sophistication. More recently, he crafted a remix for Andrew Bayer’s excellent track, “Need Your Love“, which rivalled the brilliance of the original. His funky, soulful, and glicthy futuristic sound is addictive and inspiring.
This mix is a masterpiece. Phonat moves with ease between genres – all accented by his innovative yet accessible sound. It is an impossibly smooth compilation of deep house, euphoric dubstep, soul, and Phonat’s own brand of future sound. The songs and sounds are carefully selected, and the transitions are beyond slick. He has created a mix that whisks you on away and takes you on an adventure.
Along with this mix, The Nest HQ posted an interview with the man in question; Michele Balduzzi. The mix is free to download, and I very highly recommend that you do so.
Electro-House | Maddix – Splash
Posted by Middy on September 8, 2013
Maddix has gotten on the radar of plenty ever since his powerful single “Touching The Sky“. He follows up with another free original, “Splash”, which shows his continued progression as a producer. Maddix goes for a heavier production this time, with a melodic build and a drop of growling synths and succession heavy, reverbed kicks. Look for more from the Dutchman in the future as he looks to become yet another success story from the small dance music powerhouse.
