I have a feeling you’re going to be hearing this remix/track a lot this Summer, it’s infectious, and it’s made for radio! Mack & Jetset Vega recently remixed Fitz and the Tantrum’s “The Walker” into a fun catchy electro-pop record that is due out May 27th under Atlantic Records. This may be your first listen by Mack, though you’ve surely heard one of his mixes on the air, having been a resident DJ for many years down in Miami, and Philadelphia, and recently he joined Hollywood Hamilton at The Remix Top 30 in NYC, the second biggest syndicated radio show, as their resident DJ, so you’re going to want to pay attention! This is a must listen!

Posted by VMan on March 24, 2014
Folks, FNT is getting ready to invade WMC ’14 in Miami with an early morning flight out of New York, and I will be documenting my trip with updates of shows that I will be attending. My first show will be at Mansion on Tuesday night seeing Above & Beyond, along with their Anjunabeats label mates Norin & Rad, and Beckwith, which will make for a an unforgettable night of deep house and trance. Having caught A&B at EZoo last year, this time in Miami, I already know I’m in for an experience. If you’re just putting together your list of shows make sure you definitely include this one in your agenda, and you can purchase your tickets here, vibes guaranteed!
Preview, Progressive House | Eric Prydz – Liberate (Preview)
Posted by Middy on March 10, 2014
Eric Prydz is the man. What was previously titled the “Waterpark ID” by his ID hungry fans on the torturous Eric Prydz forum (so many unreleased songs, it is hard to deal with) has been given a name by the melodic master “Liberate”. This is the type of a song that makes you feel like you are floating on a bed of cumulous clouds while being gently massaged by a warm sun rays and a steady breeze as you drink a cold mojito. Close your eyes and let Eric Prydz take you away. No word on release date, but it will be the title track from his next EP. Also if you are in Miami on March 27th, you are going to Eric Prydz’s party with Deadmau5 at the Ice Palace, it is just going to happen. It is the best party that night in town, hands down, no questions asked, where do you sign.
Electro-House, Melbourne Bounce | TJR ft. Benji Madden – Come Back Down
Posted by Middy on March 7, 2014
Melbourne bounce has hit the mainstream of dance music and you can put a lot of the blame or credit on TJR’s shoulders. It is obviously more nuanced than that, but as the sound continues to evolve, TJR’s tracks have been some of the most played in festival sets around the world for the past 12-18 months and it is from a weird, niche genre. His latest sure-fire hit single “Come Back Down” adds male vocals for a bit of a harder rock vibe to the bouncy, agressive bass line that comes with a TJR tune. Expect to hear a lot of this in Miami and beyond.
Electro-House | Ivan Gough & Jebu – Noxu
Posted by Middy on February 24, 2014
The team who brought you “Kukatu” last year on Size are back with an even bigger tune to follow up that 2013 festival hit. Just in time for Miami, “Noxu” packs the powerful punch needed for tunes as the weather warms up in the Northern Hemisphere and shows move outdoors. The two Australian producers have been pounding out this tune during the Aussie festival season that is in full swing right now, but expect to hear a lot more of this in the coming months with its thumping bass line and chunky stabs. Size is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year, with parties and cool releases to come next month, so consider this a warmup.

Deep House | Syn Cole – Miami 82 (Kygo Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 24, 2014
The original from Syn Cole showcased his ability to come up with complex, powerful and moving melodies, a skill few in his space have been able to do. It probably comes from his ability as a trance producer under the pseudonyms DNS Project & Clashback. In steps Norwegian producer Kygo on the remix, who has been on fire lately. He keeps the melody from the original and adds a calming feel to the tune, with summery claps and percussion, aided by fluttering synth stabs and piano. Vote for it in the Inbada contest now to ensure victory.
