Albums, Electronic, Mashups, Mix | The Hood Internet – Trillwave 3
Posted by mimada on August 14, 2013
Ahhhhhhh could not be more excited to share the latest release from The Hood Internet. So they’ve got this thing called Trillwave, which is basically a seamless, sensual, and poetic synthesis of popular hip hop vocals over chill, indie instrumental counterparts that make you wonder, Why weren’t these jams paired up before…? And the third installment of Trillwaves does not disappoint. MISHKA really hit the nail on the head by describing Trillwave as the type of mixtape for “when you have to entertain a mixed crowd, or if you need to take a long drive with someone who doesn’t worship at a temple for 808s for church bells.” And, in accordance with the rising trend, Trillwave 3 features quite a few subtle tributes to the sweet and sexy R&B of the 90’s. Oh, radical baby.
You can, and absolutely should, download the previous Trillwaves straight from The Hood Internet’s website here. And catch the tracklist after the break, especially my favorite pairings including Kanye West vs Daft Punk, Miguel vs RL Grime and Kendrick, Drake, and Giraffage.
LIVE FOR THE TRILL.

Progressive House | Fenech-Soler – Last Forever (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on August 13, 2013
When I close my eyes at night I see two things — Drew Taggart’s hair and that overweight black lady in the McDonalds drive thru who called me “honey” two years ago. I’ll never forget you Shaquanda. As for Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, they have just released another free remix. While I may joke around when I post their music and in that interview I did with them, I feel I should take a second to be serious. These two, as The Chainsmokers, have without a doubt been the best injection into the house scene that anyone could have asked for. They can make a gritty track, an upbeat indie-house track, and they have been known to do a more progressive song from time to time. They have done this all without falling into the trap of producing generic songs that all sound the same, as most producers do (except for you Avicii, I love you man). Not many people can get over a million collective plays on Soundcloud in only five or so months which just shows how great they are. So, without any further delay, I present to you their new progressive remix to Fenech-Soler’s “Last Forever”. This is my favorite production of theirs in a while and highly suggest everybody except for that waitress who put a dirty slice of lemon in my iced tea a few weeks ago to take a listen; she doesn’t deserve it.

Trap | Grouplove – Ways To Go (Grandtheft Remix)
Posted by BP on August 10, 2013
It’s been slow in the dubstep world this week so here is some fun trap for your ears. Grandtheft’s remix of “Ways To Go” is just full of energy. From the piano chords to the vocal chopping and sampling, this song is on point. It doesn’t feature many of the “trap sounds” that we’re all used to hearing, and uses a lot of elements of the original indie track in a new way. This remix is the epitome of a summer jam, and will be hitting iTunes on August 13th. For now you can listen to the stream below!
Preview, Progressive House | The Aston Shuffle – Can’t Stop Now (Special Features Remix) [Preview]
Posted by Middy on July 31, 2013
It took about 800 edits to get this track just right, but when Special Features got it, he did it right. It has been a slow year for him waiting on remixes to clear and labels to release tracks, but now The Aston Shuffle give him the chance to shine on their remix package for “Can’t Stop Now”. Set for release September 16th, the remix features Special Feature’s bright synths that mesh very well with the original vocals, taking this indie dance track to the dance floor. Look for a Matisse & Sadko remix to come August 30th on Spinnin and a Ta-Ku remix as part of this package on September 16th, with potentially 6 more to come. The original is out now.
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.
