Albums | FNT Premiere: Moveltraxx’s “Tecnica” & “Aquafina”
Posted by Nick on January 22, 2014
I want to introduce you all to Moveltraxx, a Paris-based label that is by no means afraid to push the envelope on music: to test and stimulate its audience with a variety of styles and genres. Today, FNT was lucky enough to get the chance to premiere two tracks from their upcoming compilation “DMP6” that showcases the talent of their international caliber artists.
The first record is Ezekiel’s “Tecnica,” an original trap track with a quasi-Latin spin on it, and the second is “Aquafina” by DJ Tim Dolla, which showcases a fresh, unique sound design that just makes you want to get up and move – if you’re looking for something to slap on your way home from work and/or school today, you’ve found your winners.
DMP6 drops on January 28, so be on the lookout for a download, or pre-order on Juno.
Progressive House | Tritonal & Paris Blohm ft. Sterling Fox – Colors
Posted by Middy on January 13, 2014
Protocol Recordings is generally known for a much more aggressive, uptempo sound in the spirit of its founder, Nicky Romero, but that does mean it can’t adjust its original mold to accommodate pure quality. Fellow American producers, Paris Blohm and Tritonal have a short, but strong relationship brewing, after Paris Blohm released an original and a remix on Enhanced Recordings, Tritonal’s parent label and one they are strongly tied to. “Colors” brings them away from their label, continuing along their trend of more melodic progressive house tunes that has angered old school fans, but brought has appealed to a whole new fanbase. The tune starts with tranced out, piano driven builds underneath Sterling Fox’s soaring vocals and crescendoes into an infectious synth-laden drop.
Exclusive, House | FNT Premiere: Years & Years – I Wish I Knew (Logo Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 16, 2013
Straight from Kitsuné to your speakers, we have the premiere of the Logo’s remix of Years & Years “I Wish I Knew”. Taken from the Gildas Season’s Greetings Mix, Logo have added a superb remix to the holiday themed compilation. Deep and soulful, Logo creates a totally new ambiance from the original, pitching down the vocals, with a totally new, soothing instrumental from the Parisian duo. Kitsuné has consistenly been at the forefront with funky and soulful house music, and here is yet another example from another producer hailing from Paris and its seemingly limitless talent pool.
Electronic, Videos | Carte Blanche – Gare du Nord
Posted by yabishcic on November 25, 2013
Can we all just stop and take 2:48 to remember this amazingly ridiculous (because of the video) / actually-good (because of the music) song released back in 2010 by Ed Banger duo, DJ Mehdi and Riton, off their EP “Black Billionaires EP”. Even though the video features a super hyphy 80’s crowd getting down to some original electro, don’t let the retro get to you; this song is pretty epic. Taking you back in time, the beat is absolutely perfect. Gare du Nord (“North Station”) is one of the six large terminus stations of the SNCF mainline network for Paris. It offers connections with several urban transportation lines, including Paris Métro, RER and Buses. By the number of travelers, at around 190 million per year, it is the busiest railway station in Europe and outside Japan. I can only imagine people in Paris going beserk to this song in their world-renowned clubs… Like I said, epic.
Bass, Techno | moodblanc – Vous
Posted by admin on November 10, 2013
Tonight, Fresh New Tracks is providing you with something a little different than our usual musical offerings in an attempt to set your week off on the right foot. moodblanc is a Swedish, nu-disco duo with a sum-total of two songs in their SoundCloud catalog. Despite their non-expansive body of work, the two released songs are a treat for any pair of ears.
Be enchanted all the way to a terrace on the Hôtel de Paris, as “Vous” takes you on a continued journey through music…Each song that the group has released is a chapter in what appears to be a trilogy of work. “Vous” leaves the speaker/lover within the song in a vulnerable position, admitting that “it’s hard, impossible even, to be happy alone.”
Hopefully, the wait for Chapter Three won’t be too long, but in the meantime enjoy the soothing Daft-Punk-esk vocals and entrancing bassline.
Trap | MERCER – Supreme (PHAT DEUCE Remix)
Posted by VMan on October 13, 2013
The French producer, from Paris, Mercer releases 3 new remixes of his track “Supreme”, by PHAT DEUCE, Juyen Sebulba, and DJ D!rty Aud!o. The PHAT DEUCE remix is probably my favorite of the 3, though all of them are excellent. The synth progression in this record makes you feel like you’re going 90mph in the driver seat of a very expensive car, and once you make it to the drop you know you’ve made it to the party. This track is a must listen and a must download!

Electronic, Videos | Kaytranada – At All (Video)
Posted by mimada on October 2, 2013
I don’t know if y’all are onto this yet but Kaytranada is basically one of the coolest producers out there right now. I mean, over pretty much any big artists in the game, I’d wanna kick it with him. Not only does he come off trill af, but this guy is in a whole other playing field, struttin’ to the beat of his own 808. And his music video for “At All” that just dropped today is the perfect example. I don’t wanna spoil it for you but really, who can make hanging out with female body builders look like the sweetest thing in the world? Not many.
But we’re here for the music anyways, right? In an interview with Noisey, Kaytranada broke down his creative process for this track in particular:
“I was in Paris when I did that song and I just wanted to make a track because I had producer’s block when I was on tour and I couldn’t do any music. I had this long break when I was in Paris though so I decided to take this Chaka Khan song. It’s one of my favourites called “I Love You, I Live You” and I just did random stuff. I usually play with the pitch of the sample but this time I just messed with it. I thought I’d bring something new to the table because not a lot of producers play with their style like that. The drums are like what I usually do with other songs.”
You can purchase his much-anticipated EP via HW&W Recordings on October 16th, and catch him live on tour with Groundislava and Jerome LOL. Check here for dates. In the meantime you can get back to your workout, and don’t forget: friends don’t let friends skip leg day.
