Preview, Progressive House, Trap | What So Not – JAGUAR (Preview)

Posted by on December 4, 2013

Didn’t really know what to expect out of this track when it first got started in my speakers, but once the ball got rolling, the drop blew my frickin brains out. It’s been a huge year for What So Not and this is the perfect way to top off the 2013 music career. It nicely full of melodies and hooks to please the ear but has a massive eruption of bass and extreme feeling that other songs cannot compare to. It’s a huge staple in his growing setlist for sure and still vibes to that signature What So Not sound so its a win/win for everyone. Look for this December 10th via OWSLA.

We’ve seen them at Ezoo, and had a chance to interview them on their smash hit “Bird Machine” with their French counterpart Dj Snake. If you were at Tomorrow World you might’ve caught their set at the OWSLA tent. Well the duo Alesia is not slowing down, releasing their first EP under Skrillex’s label OWSLA. The EP, Andrea will be out December 3rd, and I’m really excited to hear what sounds they come up with for this one. Enjoy the teaser video, and look out for this album, they are actively pushing the boundaries with music, and you’ll never know what to expect from these two with their motto “fuck a genre.”

Electronic | Zedd ft. Hayley Williams – Stay The Night (YOGI Remix)

Posted by on November 5, 2013

Meanwhile… OWSLA has embraced yet another killer artist. Not only does OWSLA bring our attention to another vessel of talent, but with this release, YOGI and OWSLA have finally given me a version of Stay The Night that I can fully get on board with. The original disappointed me, and there had yet to be a remix that I enjoyed all of. YOGI brings the creativity with this tune. Ruthless effects on Hayley’s vocals, and devilish use of a sample from Kendrick Lamar’s Poetic Justice are what stand out for me. Give this dark little treat a listen.

YOGI

YOGI is also the man behind the original Follow U, the big song back in 2011 that received huge remixes from Xilent, Trolley Snatcha and Submerse among others.

Let this record play, you’re going to feel some kind of way. With gorgeous vocals, and a mix of instruments with that electro sound, get ready to be taken away to another universe, and no you’re not dreaming, this is real life.

Electronic, Mix | OWSLA After Dark Pt.III: The M Machine – Space Jams

Posted by on September 24, 2013

I have to start by saying that I am still reeling from the Phonat mix; I still sit with mouth agape while listening to it. I am so thankful that there are labels like OWSLA – awesome music is served out on silver platters, and artists that really deserve attention are given just that. I am even more thankful for the artists – like The M Machine and Phonat – that continue to strive to be better and to be different. Robin Thicke could write a song about what these musicians do to genre definitions. With every original, every remix and every mix, The M Machine is changing the way that people think about music. These guys bring ideas to life that are nothing short of brilliant. It truly is amazing that a group of individuals can interweave their respective imaginations into such complete works of art. Their latest work is an hour long mix that aired during the OWSLA time slot on BBC Radio 1Xtra, and in classic M Machine fashion, it exceeds expectations. Forget what you know about genres and rules, and just accept this for the greatness that it is.

Featured, Interviews | Alesia talks Bird Machine, Filet Mignon, & More!

Posted by on September 10, 2013

Alesia

The first day of EZoo, the FNT crew got a chance to link up with the French duo Alesia, also known as Nicolas and Lemuel, who just finished spinning their set at the OWSLA vs Boys Noize tent. This was a first for both to be spinning at a festival in the US, and New York out of all places. You might not be familiar yet with the name Alesia, but chances are you’ve heard their trap hit “Bird Machine,” which they co-produced with DJ Snake, either at a festival or on your television screen. The track is currently being used on a Target commercial! With how things are going, you’re going to be hearing a lot more from them in the future, so keep your ears out!

Check out the teaser video they released for their time at EZoo, look out for Alesia at Tomorrow World on the OWSLA stage, and read our interview after the jump!

Albums, Electronic | Black Magic Remixes EP + Kill The Noise, Brillz & Minxx – Saturn (AMTRAC Remix)

Posted by on September 4, 2013

It’s finally here in all its glory! All 9 remixes are as awesome as expected and the EP is a blast to listen to. The track list is stacked with remixes from big names, and each song is wildly different from the previous. Relentless electro-house, massive festival-trap and bad ass metal – just to name a few genres you’ll find. Also released yesterday on The Nest HQ (the OWSLA side project) were 3 remixes that didn’t wind up on the EP; Nick Thayer’s remix of Rockers, Durante’s remix of Jump Ya Body, and AMTRAC’s remix of Saturn. Being a huge fan of AMTRAC, and also being once again amazed by one of his remixes, I’ve included his remix to this post.

If you haven’t joined The Nest, now’s the time. Upon subscription to The Nest you receive the two latest releases, which right now happen to be this remix EP, PLUS, the Noisia & Foreign Beggars I Am Legion LP! You’ll also gain access to the 3 other remixes I mentioned. As always, you get Skrillex’s Leaving EP as well when you subscribe.
