Hip-Hop, Mashups | DJ 21azy – Another Night (Remix ft. J.Cole)
Posted by GMONEY on October 20, 2011
Woah. That guitar riff + J.Cole. Speechless. DJ 21azy adds Mac Miller’s beat from another night and puts J.Cole’s Who Dat over it. If you haven’t heard his remix to Chiddy Bang’s manners and Chidlish Gambino you can grab that here. Support him and like his Facebook page and make sure to look out for some of his new stuff.

Progressive House | Coldplay – Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Avicii’s ‘Tour’ Mix)
Posted by Middy on October 19, 2011
UPDATE: Avicii just tweeted this video of a group of guys singing one of his songs to stop a fight from breaking out. Awesome.
Avicii is back with this sublime remix of Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” that he has been playing as his opening song in all of his sets this summer and is possibly better than the remix from Swedish House Mafia. He played Studio 54 last night and was labeled “The future of dance music” so maybe he decided to leak this song to public because of that gig as well as a Halloween treat and he because he is close to 500,000 fans on Faceook. Whatever the reason, it does not change the fact that this song is absolutely enormous and something you must have.

Hip-Hop, Videos | BET Awards In A Nutshell
Posted by Grubeats on October 12, 2011
For those of you who tuned in to the 2011 Hip-Hop Awards last night on BET know the cyphers took the limelight, and more specially, the Shady 2.0 Boys. I unfortunately didn’t see the awards live last night but from the videos I’ve watched today and the buzz I’ve seen floating around Web 2.0, Shady delivered the entré while most other parties involved only supplied the appetizers. Here’s what BET had to say about Shady 2.0…
“Yelawolf + Slaughterhouse + Shady = Boom! Yela speed raps, Joe Budden sabotages the throne, Crooked I mean mugs his way through his set, Joell Ortiz gets on through affirmative action, Royce Da 5’9” hollas at Rihanna and Eminem, well, is Eminen. Fiyah!”

Aside from Shady, I was also impressed by the “Indie Meets Mainstream” crowd, including Big K.R.I.T., Tech N9ne, MGK, Kendrick Lamar (who I’m real high on lately), & lastly B.o.B.
“And we are in the game, like the cypher was a scrimmage, So everybody gossip and go tell a friend and a pigeon, that this white boy just bodied black entertainment television, #LaceUp”- Machine Gun Kelly

In addition to the cyphers, Chris Brown won best video, Weezy won best lyricist (cough cough) and best live performer (fair), Nicki won MVP, Lex Luger won best producer (even though all his beats sound the same), World Star won best hip-hop site (this is my new goal), J. Cole won best mixtape with FNL, Khaled won best useless shouter DJ, and Wiz won rookie of the year. Nothing out of the ordinary coming from a mainstream source. You can view all the winners HERE.

Hip-Hop | PropaneLV – One More Time (Prod. M83)
Posted by Jess on October 8, 2011
PropaneLV goes over M83’s “Midnight City” to create a damn catchy anthem about partying, one night stands, and the resulting morning. You can get what you wanted, maybe even twice, but sometimes you still “feel so alone.”

Events | FNT Presents Tiesto: KINGSTON, RI
Posted by GMONEY on September 23, 2011
Thanks to all those members of the FNT nation who made it out to this one (including our very own Mach), it was epic to say the least…
Here is what Tiesto’s team had to say:
At least half the population of Kingston had tickets to Tiësto tonight! It rained all day but that didn’t stop any of the fans from waiting in line whooping and hollering in anticipation of what was sure to be another monumental night of dance music…and it was.
I didn’t see any security guards breaking down and grooving out tonight but the guy selling hot dogs couldn’t stop throwing down an amazing repertoire of moves. I didn’t buy a hot dog but I would definitely pay to see his routine one more time…but only if it’s during a Tiësto show. The rafters shook tonight and the floor was on fire! What will tomorrow be like? Certainly loud and if the past 5 nights have taught me anything I’m in store for the treat of another stellar round of performances by Tiësto and Porter Robinson.
Events | FNT Presents Tiesto: AMHERST, MA
Posted by GMONEY on September 23, 2011
Biglife and I are finally recovering from our Tiesto shows earlier this week, and for those of you who missed out, check out the video above for a recap.
Here is what Tiesto’s team had to say about our first stop:
Ok so I must admit that this Amherst show threw me off my game… in a great way! Instead of capturing as much amazing footage as I’ve been getting in the nights prior to this I fell into an amazing abyss of FOMO (fear of missing out). I just had to join the crowd and dance or I just would have felt left out. The energy in the air was beyond electric! Each instance of my attempting to carry out my duties was thwarted by glowing grins and an ever-present voice in my head encouraging me to join in their exploits on the main floor. It’s hard to hold a camera when you’re jumping up and down amongst four thousand other like-minded individuals going maximal crazy. My voice isn’t the only thing I lost. I’m pretty sure (like the rest of the crowd) that I lost my mind.

Albums | Timeflies – The Scotch Tape
Posted by GMONEY on September 18, 2011
As one of the first blogs ever to post Timeflies, we have had the gratifying opportunity to watch and aid in their growth. Over the past year, this duo comprised of producer Rob Resnick and Singer/Rapper Cal, have worked tirelessly in the pursuit of their passion. Their highly anticipated EP titled The Scotch Tape represents the culmination of months and months of hard work, and after your first listen I am convinced you will see why we are so excited about this project. So without further adieu, FNT is proud to introduce, The Scotch Tape.
After releasing The Scotch Tape Timeflies will be touring the country playing shows at colleges and venues from coast to coast. Check out TimefliesMusic.com for all tour dates and hit up [email protected] to bring them to your school. You can download the album for free here or support them on iTunes here.
