Progressive House | London Grammar – Wasting My Young Years (David Bulla Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on May 5, 2014
Twenty-one year old German producer, David Bulla, has been making a name for himself over the past few months with exceptionally well done bootlegs, remixes and originals. After a quick 20 days since his last remix, he is back with another one, this time of London Grammar’s “Wasting My Young Years”. He keeps some of the original piano and guitar but turns the rest of the track progressive. The bassline during the drop is especially good.

Chill, Trap | OZZIE – MARBLE FLOORS
Posted by BP on April 8, 2014
If you’re looking for some trap that is a little different, try “Marble Floors” by Ozzie. I’ve always been a big fan of Ozzie’s chill sound, and this track is yet another example of his creativity. Since I am just returning to writing for FNT from my spring break adventure in London, it’s only fitting that I show some support for this UK artist. This track is mellow with an underlying trap vibe. With altered vocals and lots of interesting sub melodies, this song will keep you intrigued listen after listen.

Events, Progressive House | Vicetone – Lowdown + US Tour Dates
Posted by Middy on February 12, 2014
The Dutch phenoms are back with another massive single. I hate to sound like a broken record with these guys, but with the precision, melodic prowess and power are all on full display once again here as they make their debut on Spinnin’ Records, giving the label a much needed respite from pitched hardstyle kicks and minimal drops. If you are headed to Ultra, get ready to hear their collab with Nicky Romero almost surely as a world premiere. It should be incredible. Just today they announced the dates for their “Lowdown” US tour this spring hitting NYC, LA, Montreal, Boston and most importantly, Ultra. See the full dates after the jump.

Albums | Above & Beyond Tugs At The Heartstrings With Acoustic Album
Posted by Middy on February 5, 2014
Above & Beyond first made the acoustic dream a reality back in June with 4 sold-out shows at London’s Porchester Hall and then again with two sold-out shows at the Los Angeles Greek Theater, where a Sonny Moore decided to sit in on bass for a tune. The trio described the impetus for creating the album “The acoustic project is a reconnection with the musicians that we were before we met”. As they have said, Above & Beyond are musicians who craft their electronic tracks using instruments and then create the parts from their instrumentation. Knowing that, such an endeavor not only seems possible, it seems likely that Tony, Paavo and Jono would come together to create this stunning piece of work. Watch / listen to the live performance at Porchester Hall and read on for the rest of the review. Grab the album on iTunes or their website, or enter our contest for a chance to win a copy plus other merch.

BANKS, one of the hottest vocalist vixens in the game right now, just released her latest single, “Brain,” produced by the musical magician Shlomo himself. A follow up to her absolutely stunning London EP, this track opens with her signature sultry sound, then proceeds to showcase her vocal versatility. If BANKS didn’t totally rock your world in 2013, then keep an eye out for her now because she’s about to make some serious waves. You can catch both Shlomo and BANKS on tour this spring.
Deep House | London Grammar – Hey Now (Bodhi Remix)

In the ancient Sanskrit language the word Bodhi means awakened, which happens to be a perfect description for what the duo of the same name has done to this London Grammar tune. In it’s original form ‘Hey Now’ was a lax ambient joint with etherial vocals over a droning back drop, but Bodhi snapped and flipped it into a gorgeous dance floor banger with deep bass grooves and a house swing. If you’re patient and listen as the track lulls midway, it will culminate and liberate all inhibitions you may have had about dancing alone in your room.
