Events | WMC 2014: Above and Beyond at Mansion 3.25
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!
Hip-Hop, RnB | High Hopes – Phases

It’s an easy Saturday night, I’m checking out my boy K-Woody‘s latest single “No More” and SoundCloud continuously streams me to “Wherever You Are” and I’m immediately captured by Shannon Livewell’s vocals and K-Woody’s laidback ‘talk to’em’ flow. Yes, I’ve been sleeping on this project. Entirely tracked and mixed in Nashville, TN “Phases” is some real shit, no other way to put it, and that’s why it’s good. With productions by Nate Fox, Ghost Notes, Big K.R.I.T., and more, this is a solid album which deserves your attention. I’m going to let you feel this one. This is a must listen. Peace!
Progressive House | Klingande – Jubel (Martell Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on March 14, 2014
Martin Fjaestad, a 19 year old Swedish producer has just released his bootleg of the much beloved “Jubel” by Klingande. He has kept the signature saxophone as well as a large portion of the original but has made it even more melodic with a huge progressive melody that takes over the build and the drop. Overall, the original is probably better but this holds up pretty well against it.

Chill | Janelle Monáe – What Is Love (Sango Remix)

The vibes of the day come from the great Sango with his chilled out remix of Janelle Monáe’s “What Is Love” off the Rio 2 soundtrack. I’ve had this track on repeat since I heard it, and the beauty of this record is that it sounds organic, from the vocals to the rhythm and harmony of the production, this is some good music! If you’re in New York City this coming Saturday night and are looking to experience these vibes, Sango will be in town, along with Kaytranada and STWO mixing at 88 Palace for Dark Disco. You can find out more of the event here. This is a must listen!
Hip-Hop, Rap | YoAstrum – Heav3n
Posted by admin on February 25, 2014
As the line between house music and hip-hop grows ever-closer, YoAstrum once again finds himself nicely situated between both worlds. His latest song, “Heav3n”, is a mere two-minutes long and features an instrumental canvas laid out by Mr. Carmack, and Tk Kayembe. The song is both catchy and unique, a perfect combination for your Tuesday night.
We’ve seen two stellar singles from YoAstrum these past few weeks, so hopefully a full length project is imminent. Stay up.

DJ-Set | ASOT 650: Dash Berlin Drops New ID
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 17, 2014
Dash Berlin is the one of the preeminent trance DJ’s in the world. He routinely kills it with his “ASOT” series. He played so many gems over the weekend. In fact, Hardwell even showed up on his night off which signals he may be experimenting with new genres. What was most impressive, however, was the ID Dash played starting at 11:11. I know we know that voice from somewhere but can’t place it. What I do know is that it sounds like it could become one of the biggest trance songs to release in 2014.
