The playlist has some tracks that go back almost a year and a half ago, and covers everything from west-coat hip-hop to frat rap and everything in between.

DJ-Set, Preview, Progressive House | AN21 & Max Vangeli Essential Mix
Posted by Middy on November 5, 2011
Up and comers AN21 & Max Vangeli unleashed their essential mix last night on BBC Radio one with 5 tracks from their up coming album such as “People of the Night”, (the video above) the collaboration with Tiesto, among other recent hits such as upcoming releases of the Swedish House Mafia remix of Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”, Alesso’s “Raise Your Head” and the anthemic remix of Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “Otherside” by Third Party. AN21 & Max Vangeli take us on a 2 hour journey of bootlegs and new singles that will leave you breathless. Their album “People of the Night” comes out sometime this winter so make sure to be on the look out for it, I know I will. They are in the midst of a North/South American Tour now so if these guys are in your area, make sure to go out and see them. Below is the BBC Radio One link & a download link. Tracklist after the jump.

DJ-Set | Swedish House Mafia Essential Selection
Posted by Middy on September 16, 2011
This mix absolutely absurd. It is all three of them in the studio sitting in for the legendary Pete Tong during his Friday night Essential Mix. They do the essential tunes section of it, in which they play the much anticipated Swedish House Mafia & Knife Party Collaboration called “Antidote” (UPDATED with radio rip), this song is searing hot. They also go on to play new tracks from Thomas Gold, Dirty South and Those Usual Suspects, Matisse & Sadko vs Arty possibly and more. They do talk a lot and this can be annoying if you want 2 hours of music to rage to, but you also get to know them as people better and they are actually kind of funny together. The last section is called “Swedish House Mafia vs. Swedish House Mafia”, where they play tracks from up and coming stars such as Thomas Gold and Alesso, as well as playing their favorite chill tracks. Below is a download link as well as the bbc radio one link. Track list after the jump.

House | Kaskade Essential Mix
Posted by Middy on September 10, 2011
Kaskade is an absolute boss, that is a fact. Last night he played his first ever essential mix on BBC’s Radio One with Pete Tong and absolutely killed it. Fresh off of being voted the number one DJ in America and deservingly so, his essential mix encompasses everything that is his melodic, euphoric, big room sound, and more. It is packed with hit after hit and is mixed perfectly from song to song. I was a bit disappointed he did not debut another song from his upcoming CD “Fire and Ice” for his first essential mix, but he did play “Turn it Down”, the song he has been playing on Identity Festival with vocals from Rebecca and Fionna. Below is the link to the essential mix and a download link. A track list is after the jump.

Hip-Hop | Drake – Trust Issues (feat. Justin Bieber)
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 28, 2011
Wow, this is interesting. I’m still trying to determine what Bieber’s goal was with this song, but perhaps he was just dying to link up with his fellow Canadian superstar. I don’t hate it, but I certainly don’t love it – largely because Bieber doesn’t spice things up as much as I would have liked. None the less, this is a must listen…

Mashups | DJ Fergie Ferg: Polar Summers Mini Mixtape
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 22, 2011
As DJ Fergie Ferg pointed out in an email last week, we’ve been longtime fans of his work and, yet, after all of this time we’ve failed to truly link up on a project. Well, he sure knows how to make an entrance because I don’t think I could hand pick better songs than the ones posted below. And how could we resist turning these two tracks into a FNT mini-mixtape. I’m a sucker for Beach Boys and I’m a sucker for old school Jay Z, so naturally “Good Vibrizzos” is my favorite cut.
