Progressive House | Sander Van Doorn – Neon (Club Mix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on August 5, 2013
This is what Serotonin sounds like. Sander Van Doorn is a happiness pusher, and his latest single is hitting the streets with force. Let him deal you a dose of bliss by the name of Neon. At first it’s a familiar feeling; you are no stranger to the beat. Ghostly whistles, powerful strings and bouncing synths find their way into your consciousness, giving you the feeling that something unfamiliar is beginning. The feeling climbs, then drops off suddenly, peeking your interest. You’re left alone with the whistles – like a whispering ghost that is both mysterious and comforting. The strings return to you suddenly in strong waves, and you’re on your way up. The feeling keeps rising, the joy coursing through your veins and dominating every thought. Then, finally, you hit the peek and ride the euphoric feeling for what seems like eternity. You may find yourself smiling, or dancing uncontrollably – this is just the song doing its job. All good things must come to an end however, and on the way down you find yourself with the eerie whispers that make you crave another go. Feel free to go on a smile binge, and lock this down on repeat. Sander has plenty of love to go around.

Progressive House | EDX – Live My Life (Extended Vocal Mix)
Posted by Mel on August 4, 2013
Branching off slightly from his typical production style, EDX gives away a track that he made for last years EDC NY that he says crowds love. “Live My Life” is a lot more mainstream than his usual songs but it’s still a fun and catchy tune.

Electronic | Hade – Hallway
Posted by W8 on August 1, 2013
After a good month of waiting, I’m among probably 3 people in the world that anticipated this track so immensely. Hallway comes off an obscure Workspaces Compilation that I was listening to on a late night while writing my thesis ”Fingers are like little arms.”. As it plays out, this track by Hade struck me as amazing. So much so that I’ve been playing it everyday since. A few scheduling errors deterred the release even passed my already long wait, making it even better to find out today that it’s not only out, but free!
Hade simply layers a bunch of significance over top an array of ancient dubstep wobbles bringing forth a vibe all of its own. The summation on the second drop just brings it all together in an ill way. A cool soundscape that I just love.

Electronic | Meowski666 – Meow Machine
Posted by mimada on July 31, 2013
Dillon Francis and Kill The Noise have finally let the cat out of the bag: and by that I mean the first track from their collab project appropriately titled Meowski666. Originally, the duo premiered the pairing at the IHEARTCOMIX Mad Decent Fool’s Gold SXSW showcase (minus KTN) under the hiatus, “Kitten Party.” Now, our favorite cat-loving DJs are ready to let the dogs cats out with the release of “Meow Machine,” an electronic cacophony of bass, Venga Boys, and KW Griff’s “Bring In The Katz,” punctuated by cat calls of your favorite feline YouTube celebrities. And I’m not kitten when I tell you it’s just awesome.
In regards to Meowski666, Dillon tweeted:
Jake and I’s sideproject @Meowski666 is really us just letting loose, having fun & creating something everyone with love… No boundaries
While Kill The Noise put it more simply as “Just two guys doin it for the lulz.” (As per your request Jake, not making any shit up)
Judging by the rest of Dillon’s recent Twitter activity, he’s got some serious shit a-brewin’ (exhibit A, B, and C) but I think so far this track might be my favorite =^.^=

Dubstep | SirensCeol Feat. Sean Dee – Nightmare
Posted by BP on July 26, 2013
It’s no surprise to see another awesome track from SirensCeol. He just drops hit after hit, and this latest dubstep track is no disappointment. It’s a beautiful melodic track that’s still heavy enough to keep it interesting! Sean Dee raps some verses about love and its emotional toll over the bass, and overall it’s a very well composed track. Lucky for us SirensCeol fans, it’s up for free on Facebook!

Events | Making Good Decisions at Global Dance Festival
Posted by mimada on July 18, 2013
This weekend marks the 11th running of Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks, presented by Colorado’s own electronic pioneers, Triad Dragons. Now, this may come off a little strong, but Global is honestly the reason why I fell in love with electronic music in the first place. Not trying to sound like a total n00b to the electro game because quite frankly I was listening to Basement Jaxx, Ace of Base and Fatboy Slim’s “Sun Is Shining” before I could even read the lyrics so the point I’m actually trying to make here is that Global made me fall in love with the electronic music of our generation (I will NOT reference the E-word, ugh gag me). But the unique thing about Global isn’t the elaborate stage production, yoga circles or 12-hour long DJ sets but the fact that founders Ha Hau and Kostas Kouremenos have stayed true to their mission, and that is bringing in fresh talent and keeping up with the changing tides of the music industry. Not only that, it’s a beautiful amphitheater with natural yet incredible acoustics, with the nicest, most genuine, borderline eclectic crowd out there in the festival circuit. The fans, the producers, the shot callers, there all there for one thing, and that’s the music.
In fact, if there’s one thing you can take away from Global be it that you are presented with the opportunity of witnessing some of the most talented upcoming acts mere moments before their career takes off. Take a look at past lineups and you’ll see what I mean. Even looking at this year’s, you might roll your eyes and pout, But, ehh, where’s Deadmau5? No Armin? What about Porter? Well, you’re a few years too late for those guys, but hey, without further ado, I’m gonna clue you in on everyone you need to see this weekend and why. So when your friends show you some average Instagram photo taken from only the 1,000th row back at Sander van Doorn’s Tomorrowworld set, you can shit on them with your epic, close-up, well-filtered, brilliantly contrasted shot with the Denver Skyline in the background. You’re welcome.
Cover, Videos | Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks (Connor Zwetsch Cover)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 16, 2013
FNT favorite and veteran postee Connor Zwetsch gives us her latest cover. She’s turning this into a routine on Sunday’s and I don’t think I could love it more. Most of the covers posted on music blogs are popular, mainstream songs, but Connor chooses more low key songs, that show off her vocal ability. This week’s cover is a Monsters and Men hit, and Connor does it justice, and although I’ve never loved the original song, Connor’s version entrances me. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for more Connor coming on Sunday’s.
