Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Adrian Lux Interview [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Middy on July 30, 2013
Prinz Adrian Johannes Hynne aka Adrian Lux has had a long, winding road to where he is now, rising to his well-respected status in dance music. First getting into music around the age of 16, he started as a hip hop DJ before moving into the more underground realms of dance music that were popular at the time in his native Stockholm. He eventually found his sound, becoming heavily influenced by indie pop and a wide range electronic artists in Sweden from Andrew Beyer, to Axwell, to Eric Prydz.
We had the chance to talk about his tour and his show last Saturday, his early DJ life, moving to America and what he is in store for the future. Having just released his debut album last spring, and another on the way soon, it will be very exciting to see everything he has in store for us.
Albums, Mainstream Remix | Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love (Urban Noize Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 30, 2013
I know I don’t deal in remixes much, unless they’re of the hip-hop variety. But I know good music when I hear it. When critiquing non hip-hop music, my ear changes from stiff analyzation and cricial listening, and just goes to “well this sounds good.” When I first heard Urban Noize’s latest concoction, I thought to myself, “This sounds GREAT,” so I stepped a bit out of my comfort zone here, and decided to post it for all of you to enjoy. So forget my lack of terms for this type of music, and forgive my lack of eloquence, and enjoy the damn music. It sounds great.
Hip-Hop | Just Juice – It’s Like That
Posted by admin on July 26, 2013
It seems like the new sound is the old sound. People are fiend-ing for that old-school hip-hop, and Juice is the dealer. His newest release “It’s Like That” is fully equip with vinyl scratches, 90’s drum kit, and of course a seamless delivery. Juice has been busy this summer before heading back off to school in the fall, so hopefully we’ll be getting some new music very soon!
Be on the look out for Juice to team back up with his brother and long-time rapping partner, Mojo, in the near future as well. Enjoy, and scoop up the free download. It’s like that y’all.
Hip-Hop | HAHA-YO – Dancing Like An Idiot [Video]
Posted by admin on July 19, 2013
HAHA-YO has returned funkier than ever and on a mission to protect the secret sauce.
Whatever the secret sauce may be, HAHA-YO most definitely put plenty of it on this last song and video. In an industry filled with monotonous, unoriginal artists I can say without hesitation that there is no one quite like HAHA-YO. The duo can make the most introverted, shy listener get up on his or her feet and dance with the play of a song.
“Dancing Like an Idiot” is without a doubt on the lighter side of hip-hop and has a sound sure to attract many kitchen-dancers, shower-singers, and motor vehicle-rockstars alike.
Directed by Mikey Van Beuren, the video is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. A mini-movie to go along with the soundtrack, the visual follows Boyder and Lukey the Bird on their journey to save their pizza dynasty and each other. There are -thankfully- no shots rapping in to a camera from a rooftop or in a studio, instead the team has given you something to sit down, enjoy and actually get intrigued by.
HAHA-YO has recently released their EP, HEY., and if you missed it, it can be downloaded here for free!
Hip-Hop, Videos | Little Pain – High Cry (Official Music Video)
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 18, 2013
I just read a pretty interesting write up on “Sad Rap” , and it seems like Little Pain is leading the revolution. Little Pain comes to you from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. At age of 21 Pain has only been rapping for about 4 or 5 months but has been “sad my whole life”. Pain is working on his “sadtape” entitled “When Thugz Cry” due out in 2013. One of the more interesting things to come out of hip hop, curious to see whats next for Little Pain.
