Progressive House | John Dahlback – Rebels
Posted by Middy on May 5, 2012
The above John Dahlback was released a little while ago and grows on me every time I play it. It has an old school 90s house feel to it with a modern twist, definitely a song perfect for long, sunny summer days. Get it on Beatport HERE.
John Dahlback gives us “Rebels” for free via his Facebook page and it is a quality production. With a steady bass line, stabbing grungy synths, progressive melodies with well timed stutters. Do no miss this freebee from the criminally under-rated Swede John Dahlback.

Also included are the new remixes of John Dalhback’s track with Andy P “You’re In My Heart”. They provide a more progressive, uplifting feel to the remixes with added synths and more of a melodic feel. The second remix brings a little more energy and power to the plate.
House | Viceroy & WhiteNoize – Only Takes (Original Mix)
Posted by Middy on April 30, 2012
FNT favorite Viceroy collaborating with WhiteNoize is back with his first original since his EP in the fall. It has an old school house feel with a prominent, funky bass line, horn samples and vocal sample that helps carry the melody. It is a nice change of pace to hear that old school house sound with all of the electro and progressive house tracks these days. This track reminds it is Summertime, All The Time, so finish up those finals and get to summer. It will be out on Beatport on May 7th. UPDATED with Beatport Link

Hip-Hop | Theophilus London – Big Spender(ft. A$AP Rocky)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 15, 2012
Theophilius London and resident Pretty Mothafu*ka drop off their highly anticipated collaboration. A cool, old school, bluesy/jazz, sample meshes well with the harsher flow that both of these rappers exemplify. Be on the lookout for Asap Muzik dropping soon. And if it’s anything like his last big release, it’ll be huge.

There are rapper’s and then there are students of the game. Azad Right is an honor roll student. This new track is conceptual view of Azad’s musical influences that have shaped him into the artist he is today. As you’ll hear in the song, his idols and influencers range from all genre’s of music, but Az pulls aspects of each genre and generation which have become the building blocks of his personality as an artist. There’s no question Azad has an old school sound. Very aphoristic yet authentic in his delivery. In order to have success and be respected, it’s critical you recognize the ones that paved the way. Open up your mind to Azad Right (even if he is a Lakers fan).

Hip-Hop | Nas – The Don
Posted by J_Salzer on March 18, 2012
Nasty “Escobar Nastradamus” Nas is back, offering up his highly anticipated single showing us why he’s still one of hip-hop’s biggest heavyweights. Sampling elements from his famed “Illmatic” album, Nas paints a picture with words, delivering a deeply cerebral masterpiece worthy of even Michael Corleone’s approval. Stream the track below. It’s truly an offer you can’t refuse.
Hip-Hop | Phil Ade- Let It Shine
Posted by ATexas on November 14, 2011
This little light of his is definitely going to shine. With R&B Beats, old school spit game and a catchy chorus with backup vocals, Phil Ade knocks it out of the park once more. Reminiscent of old school Kanye, Phil is progressively maturing as an artist.

Dubstep | Datsik & Bassnectar – Elevate & Yes
Posted by Middy on October 23, 2011
Bassnectar just dropped these two songs he did with Datsik as freebees for his fans and because Datsik made a drunken promise last night to release new tracks. “Elevate” is a new track that has some reggae influences and some old-school vocals. “Yes” is a track that has been floating around the internet for a while, but it wasn’t studio quality, so here is the studio quality.
