Australian house project known as LJ Hawk just dropped a new track called “High”, an infectious new housey tune that features the voice of a Sydney-based soul/R&B/jazz singer known as Ash. Ash’s spirited vocals, combined with the beautiful synth work and a catchy melody creates an uplifting, euphoric track that is a must listen. Here’s what LJ Hawk had to say about it: “I had been tinkering with a lot of sounds and song’s in the studio, doing my best to explore each of the elements in the hopes of learning more about what I love listening to in other people’s music, and then working it into my own. When I first heard Ash’s voice on some demo’s, I knew her style & sound would align really well with some of the deeper house track’s I had been working on.” They got together in the studio and created this masterpiece, set to be released on Sunstroke Records on September 2nd. Check out “High” now!

As part of his recently released debut album Encore, DJ Snake has paired up with UK-based singer Bipolar Sunshine once again to deliver an impressive, smooth-cut single, “Future Pt. 2.” This single follows their worldwide hit “Middle” that quickly took over the international airwaves and found its way in the United States and France’s top 20 charts. The success of the first collaborative track leads us to believe that this new release will follow suit.
DJ Snake amply sets the tone with a thick, grooving bass line, quickly followed by Bipolar Sunshine’s velvety lyricism that melds eloquently with the robust synth rhythms and layered vocal flairs. The track hits a fine balance between passion and impact, while capturing DJ Snake’s perceptive and commanding style. Listen above!

Chill | MADILLAC’s “Guardian’s Dub” Is A Creative Change of Pace
Posted by VMan on July 29, 2016
The only aesthetic that could make this track better is if some reggae vocals were stacked on top. MADILLAC’s “Guardian’s Dub” is chill and centers itself around real instrumentals, a strong flow that makes the overall experience pleasant, and sweet vocal melody samples that string the theme together.
Whats next with this producer is unclear, he hasn’t dropped music in 3 months but I wish he would. If this dude created a network of house producers who dig and supported each others music, focused more on finishing and releasing tracks, and was a bit more personable on social media, I could see this dude going far.
Interviews | Bricks Break’s Down His House Roots, Timing, Future Plans & More In Exclusive Interview
Posted by VMan on July 19, 2016
Bricks has a classic LA story but with some genuine depth to it that’s just likeable, frankly. In this FNT interview, Bricks breaks down where his house roots came from, why he makes what he does (which is fluid dark hip-hop-influenced house that totally suites 2016, check out previous posts on our site), and so much more. Read all the details here.
How would you describe your style?
Brian: I’d describe it as a collection of all the styles that have influenced me through out my life. It’s combination of House, Miami Bass and Hip Hop. I add the groove of house to the raw 808 miami bass sound, then work in some vocal chopping and analog 80’s synths, and out comes up the Bricks sound.
