Dubstep, Trance | [Preview]Velvetine – The Great Divide (Seven Lions Remix) + Isis VIP & Paul Van Dyk Remix Previews
Posted by Sev on September 19, 2012
As much as I tried to hold on to this preview until the official release, it wasn’t going to happen. Seven Lions is an artist who in my opinion is doing something nobody else can match, or can do at his level. He is a pioneer of Trance influenced Dubstep and has nearly mastered it to a perfection. It isn’t just that his music is amazing and unique in all aspects, but the emotion it brings to all listeners and I know I don’t just speak for myself when I say that. In the past week, three outstanding previews to some of his upcoming material surfaced and it only felt right to share them with you guys. The first one being this supernatural remix of Velvetine’s The Great Divide. Goosebumps only begin to clarify the feeling I got when I first stumbled upon this track. I can say with full confidence that this release is going to be my favorite of the year.
Next up we change pace a little to a new remix Paul van Dyk’s I Don’t Deserve You that is more Trance than his usual material. Although you can still get a taste of the heavy bass filled synths from his Dubstep styled tracks sprinkled throughout this remix. There isn’t a noticeable amount to stray it away from the more Trance filled aspect.
For our last preview we give a big thanks to MrSuicideSheep for getting everyone this exclusive first look at the Isis VIP. Given that the original was epic enough just means this track has too be that much better. We are still waiting on whether or not this is going to get a release, so cross your fingers and hope he feels generous enough to share this masterpiece.
Dubstep | Polina, Steve Aoki, Tiesto – Tornado (Kill The Noise Remix)
Posted by Sev on September 11, 2012
We all have heard this dance anthem by Tiesto and Steve Aoki at some point in out festival escapades in the past year or so, but Kill The Noise happened to this track and by happened to it I mean spiced up and created an absolute banger! Although there is little recollection of the original in this remix; this track shows more of the soft side of KTN with its amazing piano chorded intro and emotional lead piano setting the mood up for a melodic masterpiece. This is right before Polina’s vocals kick in, changing the mood a little bit and slowly leading to the heavy growl bassed drop that brings the track to a more fun upbeat pace. This track isn’t one to pass on so grab it off Beatport HERE.
Hip-Hop | Sol – Be Good or Be Careful
Posted by J_Salzer on May 22, 2012
“And music never dies, it just evolves, grows into something bigger than us, bigger than life, a gift from the gods.”
Sol dropped this new track off yesterday, and although I’m a day late posting because of finals, it’s something you all need to hear. We’re used to a more laid back, chill style of rapping from the Seattle native, but he changes pace on this, taking on a simple, repetitive beat, and destroying it with smooth, SOLful, well thought out verses. Sol is going on an Earlesque(#OFWGKTA) epic international journey, check it out here. Hopefully Sol comes back better than ever, and after hearing his last release, I have no doubts he will.
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 | Asher Roth ft. Meek Mill – Party Girl
Posted by J_Salzer on April 20, 2012
Mr. Pabst and Jazz hits us with his newest collaboration with Mr. Dreamchaser(Meek Mill). A classic Asher Roth beat, with heavy synth and deep lyrics delivered slowly so we can keep up with his wittiness. Meek provides a nice change of pace with a faster paced verse, making this the perfect collaboration. Stream below and be on the lookout for the song dropping on iTunes today.
Dubstep, Review | Cookie Monsta – Riot! EP
Posted by Mach on April 3, 2012
When it comes to filthy dubstep, the artists that come to mind are usually Circus Record’s own FuntCase and Cookie Monsta. The filth monger Cookie Monsta dropped his new EP, ‘Riot!’ today, and there is no doubt that he out did himself again. Cookie doesn’t need to make a name for himself, just about everything he releases is dirty gold.
The title track ‘Riot’ I assume to be influenced greatly by number of riots that have been held recently in England. Cookie Monsta definitely inspires people to stand up…on cars and well… RIOT! The track is filthy, destroying your ear drums one decible at a time. Videogames seem to inspire all of us nerds in some way, in the case of ‘Level Up,’ the 8 bit sound effects just lead up to the finishing blow, #1-up. Between ‘Time To Get Crunk’ and ‘HedRokkA’ I couldn’t decide which one was my favorite on the EP. coming in second place is ‘Time To Get Crunk,’ sampling Mad Decent’s Lil Jon (that is correct, Lil Jon was signed onto Mad Decent by Diplo). I love the pace of this track, it starts off fast drumstep/drum & bass and halfway through Cookie takes it down a notch for us to enjoy a slower nasty drop. Sev and I both agree that ‘HedRokkA’ is the filthiest track on this release. Smooth and grimy, this track is nothing short of a panty wetter, and for guys it is like if Borgore just created a website to post up all the “submissions” he receives from the ladies. Dubstep fans, this EP is a must have. Buy it, rip it, torrent it, what ever you have to do to get it, because you need this.
