Electro-House | FTampa – Hero
Posted by Middy on October 27, 2013
I was wrong about “Kick It Hard” earlier in the summer and I don’t want to be wrong again about FTampa. We have been showing him love for quite some time here, and it is great to see the Brazilian’s tracks get recognized by key players in the industry and get the traction they deserve. His “Remember To Breath” remix is still on heavy rotation, and he now gives us “Hero”. The track is gritty and relentless, giving us a taste of the electro house style that has made him so well liked by his fans.

Chill, Drum & Bass | Aether & Amber Noel – Run Away (Elliot Berger Remix)
Posted by Mach on October 27, 2013
Elliot Berger takes my breath away with this beautifully deep Neuro-funk remix. By the day, more and more artists are discovering the fantastic versatility of the neuro style. This having been the first of the style I have heard him produce in, I have to say this is one of Elliot Berger’s best works. If you enjoyed KOAN Sound & Asa’s new EP “Sanctuary”, I guarantee you will love this remix as well.
Mashups, RnB | Drake & Keke Wyatt Ft. Avant – Nothing In This World (Tajan Mashup)
Posted by Mach on October 25, 2013
Everything Tajan makes is pure sex to the ears in my opinion, and he violates our ears once again with this hot R&B mashup. I’m sure Drake’s name is the eye catcher on this one, but don’t expect to hear him. Keke Wyatt and Avant’s vocals make this track, there is so much emotion to be felt from them as they belt out their undeniable love for eachother that you won’t even miss Drake.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | Scolla – Peace
Posted by admin on October 22, 2013
Clocking in at two minutes, thirty-two seconds, my initial reaction to Scolla’s “Peace” was: “I want more!” The soulful hip-hop track pulls you in with soothing vocals that you hope never leave your ears, and keeps you interested when Scolla’s deep and choppy verse appears.
Like many of us, Scolla asks for peace and love. A message clearly reflected in his music within the subtle tones and gentle lyrics. I highly recommend giving “Peace” a listen, as well as perusing the rest of Scolla’s RLES crew. The album OG Cool is on the way, so be sure to check back in for that.
Enjoy!
Electro-House, Exclusive, Mix, Progressive House | FNT Presents: Showtek Essentials Volume 8
Posted by Middy on October 18, 2013
It’s Friday, its the weekend, that means it is time to cut loose. Who better than to get loose with than the outrageous brothers Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen, better known to you all as Showtek. Techno, turned hardstyle turn electro house behemoths, the duo’s impact on dance music cannot be understated. While Maarten Vorwerk helped introduce the hardstyle kick to mainstream dance music with “Epic”, Showtek made it popular with their own brand of hardstyle infused electro house. We are proud to present the 8th episode of their weekly mix series “Showtek Essentials” that is not just Showtek music, but also what they have been playing out and the music they really love at the moment. It in includes everything from Disclosure to an exclusive Showtek club of “Countdown” from Hardwell & MAJK. Full tracklist after the jump and an interview coming soon with the brothers.
Bass | Chase & Status – International (Skrillex Remix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on October 17, 2013
This is why we wait patiently when artists don’t release songs as often as we would like, or as often as they used to. Everyone wants a piece of the Skrillmeister (be it for positive or negative reasons) and he has his hands on a million different projects at once. In interviews, Moore has stated that he does not release material unless he is completely satisfied with the result, often citing difficulties deciding how to put together albums or EPs. I respect that mentality. Obviously he decided that this remix was ready to rock, and I would have to fully agree. I like a lot of the projects that Skrillex has contributed toward, and this remix is no exception. It is included on the new Chase & Status album, and feels right at home in that collection.This tune is well-crafted and really is an excellent remix of the original. It shakes the walls, and I love it.
Pop, Review | An In depth Review of Alison Gold’s “Chinese Food”
Posted by Mel on October 15, 2013
It is not often a pop song strikes me in such a way that I can’t stop playing it or thinking about it. The last time it happened was a couple years ago with what will forever and always be my favorite song, “Payphone” by Maroon 5. I loved it upon first listen, but then one fateful night my adoration for it got intensified in a very big way. I was 17 years old and at a house party. I had my favorite snapback on backwards and was leaning against the wall drinking a diet Dr Pepper when I saw a guy and a girl leave the couch they were on to go upstairs together for some reason, so I made my move and snagged a seat on the couch. I was just chillen there on the couch… by myself… like always… when a girl came over and sat next to me. She said “heyy”, I said “sup”. “Why aren’t you drinking a beer” she asked. “Not a huge fan of the taste” I replied. She then handed me hers, urging me to try it. I did of course because that’s practically kissing which is practically dating which was a big deal for me at the time. “It’s alright I guess” I said as I handed it back to her. Now I don’t know whether or not it was by accident, but the series of events that followed were the without a doubt the highlight of my senior year.
She just looked at me and smiled. She did that for like 20 seconds. When she sat down she sat extremely close to me, our legs were practically touching, it was actually quite rude of her. She then got up and as she was doing so her hand touched my arm and part of my upper thigh region. It was also at that exact moment that “Payphone” came on. I sat there in a state of euphoria until the song finished. She was also wearing flip flops so it was especially hot. I wasn’t quite sure if what had just gone down had in fact gone down but I looked across the room and the Australian guy who kissed me on the cheek against my will in the second grade was standing there watching and he confirmed with a series of head nods that it did.
I never thought my love for Maroon 5’s “Payphone” could be matched, but then I heard this. Press play, watch the video and I can only hope you experience the high that Alison Gold’s “Chinese Food” gave me. Once you check it out, click past the break to read my in depth review of perhaps the greatest pop song to come out all year.
