DJ-Set, Electro | Fresh New Tracks Mix 12/8/2011

Posted by on December 9, 2011

So its no secret that FNT’s resident DJ, JurisDoc, has been slacking off lately. Using our typical FNT HR hiring and firing practices, we told him he had one chance to convince us he was worthy of keeping around… the mix-off of all mix-off’s, if you will. Well I will be the first guy to admit that JurisDoc came through in the clutch and delivered a face-melting electro mix that will keep you grinding through the thick and the thin of whatever this weekend has in store.

Progressive House | Badisco – Melancholy (Original Mix)

Posted by on December 9, 2011

I’ve desperately been seeking an ID on this track for way too long now, finally it has surfaced to air. Badisco is a young talent rising out of Switzerland, just recently this track was magnified by the likes of none other than Tiesto on his weekly radio show Club Life. Simply put, Badisco has mastered echoic soaring synths that thirst for a stadium. Get it on Beatport.

House | Avicii & Nicky Romero – ID (feat. Justice’s D.A.N.C.E.)

Posted by on November 28, 2011

High Quality rip of Avicii and Nicky Romero’s new collaboration (different one than the preview originally posted a while ago). This track is also falling under the moniker “ID” as it has not been officially named according to Avicii’s facebook post this morning. TRACK IS HUGE! The D.A.N.C.E vocals from Justice are perfectly sandwiched in between two gigantic electro/progressive style drops. Also love the strings they used for the build ups. Who doesn’t love strings?

DJ-Set, Preview, Videos | Avicii live @ Super Glow DC Washington Armory

Posted by on November 27, 2011

I included the video at the show for what is being called “ID2” because it is so good and w8 already posted the now confirmed collaboration between Nicky Romero & Avicii, which is the first song in the set. Here is the 3 hour set from Avicii from the previous weekend at the DC Armory with a crowd of 10,000, put on by Glow DC. I have seen Avicii 3 times this year, looking forward to a fourth, and I would say this is an outstanding Avicii set by all measures. He plays a whole host of upcoming tracks by himself and others, as well as brand new releases from Alesso, Michael Calfan and many classics he has been playing for months. If you are a fan of Avicii, you will want to check out this 3 hour set from start to finish. Tracklist after the jump.

Electro, Interviews | Twibak: On The Rise

Posted by on November 14, 2011


Coming from across the pond in Sweden, Twibak is set to carve out his unique path in the world of house music. Here is a brief interview with Twibak:

With so many genres to choose from, why electronic music?

I first was introduced to electronic music when I went off to study at university. I found Armin van Buuren’s ASOT and that helped me concentrate on studying. As time went on, I became more passionate about music.

The future looks bright for you, what do you envision?

Right now, the goal is to create remixes for other more established artists, and later release records under my own name. I’ve got a lot of passion for music. It’s more than just a hobby for me, so if I can continue making music, I’ll be happy to do so.

Earlier this year american magazine Joonbug gave Twibak and Avicii a shared first prize in a list of artists likely to watch out for.

”This will be Avicii’s other half, because this artist does not even have a track up on Beatport, but his recent mix of friend Martin Lundblad’s ID has exploded to popularity on internet blogs. Mainly progressive, Twibak’s catchy, swooning build ups are broken by a nicely harmonized electro bit, the kind popularized by Bob Sinclair, Dirty South, and David Guetta. Twibak is someone to watch for 2011, particularly with the number of superstar DJs coming out of Sweden.”

Twibak says he is inspired and appreciative of the recognition, and now works even harder thanks to it. The track below is a symbol of his talent and makes you ponder what his future may hold. I predict big things from this guy – you now know. (Martysounds also deserves credit on this track as well.)

Mashups | Middy’s Mashups

Posted by on November 9, 2011

This song is so hot, it is going to be melting ice caps, Greenland beware.
Here is a mix done by eEQUIRE, a British producer & DJ from Liverpool, best known or unknown for his mashup that became the standard Adele “Rolling In The Deep” remix after being mistaken for an Avicii fake by just about everyone, even me for about a day. This song is simply quality with a thumping bass line, female vocals and driving synths.

Here is a great bootleg from Lee Wells of Franz Novotny’s “Crunch”, who I have been posting recently and Hardwell’s excellent remix of Taio Cruz’s “Hangover”. It has just enough of each to create the perfect blend and the transitions are flawless.

Kaskade releases yet another one of his fine festival mashes, combining Tommy Trash’s “The End”, Nicky Romero’s “Solar” and puts the vocals from his “Empty Streets” on top. This was a standard at ID fest this summer.

DJ-Set, Preview | Escape From Wonderland Live Sets, Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso – Calling (R3hab & Swanky Tunes Remix) Live Preview

Posted by on October 31, 2011

“Calling” is one of the best songs of the year and an EDM anthem. Those types of songs are very difficult to remix because they are so good, but R3hab and Swanky Tunes change it almost entirely and make this absolute beast of a song with driving synth and a heavy bassline. These are the sets from Escape Wonderland over the weekend in San Bernadino, California. The lineup was ridiculous and the Size matters tour was on hand with some great sets. Tracklists after the jump.
