Events | Sensation Expands US Tour to 4 Cities
Posted by Middy on May 24, 2013
The party you wanted to go to, but never could because it was always over in Europe (unless you are European), last year made made that dream come true with its debut in the US, at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York. After a successful launch last year with some arguably overpriced tickets it returns to the US for a second year, expanding the tour from one city to four cities. It will remain in New York, while also hitting dance music hotspots, Miami, San Francisco and Las Vegas. Dates have yet to be announced, but the tour will be this fall. Watch the trailer below and sign up for a special pre-sale here. Sensation is a one of a kind experience you do not miss, so make sure you sign up and pay attention for further announcements.
House | Porter Robinson & Mat Zo – Easy (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on May 7, 2013
It was not only an eventful past few weeks for Mat Zo because of the release of the “Easy” remixes, deleting his twitter account, and also the widely publicized battering and stealing done to “Rebound” done by will.i.am and Chris Brown. He was known for not being afraid to speak his mind and saying controversial things, a welcome relief from the “OMG LAST NIGHT WAS AWESOME GUYS” tweets that riddle your newsfeed when you follow DJs, so he will be missed. The original has become an early year anthem and will stand the test of time as one of the great tracks from the two rising superstars. While the original will remain a favorite of mine for a very long time, the remixes assembled by Anjunabeats and Ministry of Sound are outstanding, calling on a wide variety of styles, from the drum n bass veteran Andy C, to the grungy electro remix of Botnek, and the smooth, techy “Bright as Day” remix from Modek. The last remix comes from Frenchman Lemaitre, a name that we have criminally neglected here at FNT (I am sorry), as his funky, french touch gives the track a whole new refreshing sound. Check both of them out on tour in North America at the following dates after the jump.

Compilation, Progressive House | Tiesto – Club Life – Volume Two Miami
Posted by Middy on April 27, 2012
Tiesto has released his massive Club Life compilation as an ode to one of the EDM capitals of the US, Miami. His first Club Life was dedicated to Las Vegas, where he helped transform the music scene dominated by a Hip Hop to one of the EDM capitals of the world possibly second only to Ibiza. The overall album shows the current direction of Tiesto’s music himself and the direction of EDM with all progressive and electro house tracks making the cut on this incredible compilation. Unlike previous compilations that we have been seeing recently that are simply a whole bunch of other people’s songs, Tiesto either made or is part of 8 of 15 of the tracks. While only 6 of the tracks are brand new, in this day and age where the constant need for new songs is there and not all the songs are Tiesto’s, that is quite a good number.
The album starts off with Tiesto’s piano driven progressive track “Chasing Summers” that really has not gotten enough credit for its production work especially with the foreboding beginning, creating a massive sense of anticipation. The album continues with his “Space Junk”esque collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner “We Own The Night” and then moves through his big mainstream remixes of Gotye – “Somebody I Used To Know” and Coldplay “Paradise” that have gotten some serious tour play. The next two tracks is where the album is truly at its best with Sultan + Ned Shepard feat. Quilla – Walls and The Naked & Famous – Young Blood (Tiësto & Hardwell Remix). “Walls” is one of those vocal progressive house anthems you will hear this summer without really knowing who made it, but make sure to get to know this track, the vocals from Quilla and especially the euphoric melody make this a must have. Hardwell & Tiesto teaming on a track worked exceptionally well on “Zero 76” and it has worked at the same level on “Young Blood” with a sublime melody and great use of the indie vocals from The Naked & Famous. Read more and preview more tracks after jump. I recommend the unmixed version to get the whole track and it comes with the continuous mix that you would be buying anyway with the mixed CD.

Events | Jurassic Pike!
Posted by GMONEY on July 13, 2011
Here at FNT we are all about epic parties, and the one we helped throw at Santa Clara at the end of May, was one for the books. With three DJ’s spinning all day, there wasn’t a sole who wasn’t swept up by the filthy beats. Here’s a rundown of the three DJ’s featured at this party: NiteGold, This One’s For Cody and The DARK.
The individual efforts of the NiteGOLD members, Mike Diamond, My Cousin Vinny and Allan Guevara, have proven to all they are promised future leaders in electronic dance music.
Born and raised in Newport Beach, CA, Eric “Stoop Kid” Dobson and Tyler “Red Five” van Hensbergen know what it takes to flood the dance floor. Dressed in their signature hockey jerseys, TOFC are never ones to stray away from their roots.
The Dark first entered the DJ scene a year ago rocking the underground scene in Portland Oregon. He recently moved out to Las Vegas to make a bigger name for himself. Although he likes to remain loyal to the underground music scene he can rock anything from a frat party to a rave.
