Moombahton | The Very Best — Yoshua Aikuti (Nadastrom Remix) // Nadastrom “Moombahton Massive” EP
Posted by Spice on May 10, 2012
Nadastrom. My dudes. Moombahton has come an incredibly long way in the past three years, but had Dave Nada not hopped on the decks at that fated house party in 2009 we wouldn’t be talking right now. We love our moombahton here at FNT, so it seems only fitting now to take a moment to check in with the genre’s originators — who have big things in store for us in 2012.
To say that Dave Nada and Will Nordstrom have been busy lately would be an understatement. Their Moombahton Massive brainchild — a wild local dance party that has blown up venues in Miami, Austin, and Chicago — has officially gone international. They just kicked off a North American tour. Their record label, Diabluma Sound, is set to launch on May 22. And on top of all of this, they’re still hard at work. They recently dropped a compilation “Moombahton Massive” EP on Scion A/V in conjunction with some well-worn names (Sabo, Steve Starks, and JWLS), which highlights the genre’s funky, sexy, global roots. The EP is free (!!) and you can preview and download it here. They also just released a feel-good yet positively haunting remix of The Very Best’s “Yoshua Aikuti,” a catchy-as-hell song we suggested could be poised for a global takeover when the video dropped back in April. Nadastrom’s treatment is subtle, chilled out, and a wonderful showcase for Esau Mwamwaya’s soaring vocals. Want to inject some new flavor into your iTunes rotation? This is just the stuff.
Progressive House | Armin Van Buuren – We Are Here To Make Some Noise
Posted by Mach on May 9, 2012
This just made my day, Armin van Buuren is a god in my eyes and in many others. A State of Trance? Well, I am definitely feeling this State of House right now. This track is huge, Armin took the party up a notch with the heat this track packs. This will help me get through the studying for my finals, and then the party them.
Electro-House | Bailey Smalls – Baby, I Love You
Posted by Mach on May 9, 2012
His first big release, Bailey Smalls drops this great dance floor Electro-House track. I love how this track is basically a giant build up, starting with simple moves then building up to a fully blown dance party. Included on the single release are some incredible remixes from The Partysquad, Aylen, Jay Fay, and Udachi.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Chance The Rapper – 10 Day
Posted by dshaq on April 24, 2012
Now I’m a little late with this, but this is too good to not post. Chance The Rapper, a fellow Chicago native, delivers a masterful mixtape combining beautiful piano riffs, great rhymes, and clean vocals. Chance has been creating a great buzz not only in Chicago but also across the internet, and this tape is the reason why. I’m blown away by this production, it’s top notch, even sampling one of my favorite indie bands Beirut. This will be on repeat for quite some time, which is perfect with Summer around the corner because there are some great cruisin’ songs on it. This is definitely a MUST DOWNLOAD and look out for more Chance in the near future.
Mashups, Videos | DOSVEC – Dirt Licker (Video)
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2012
For those of you that did not catch DOSVEC’s newest mashup banger, he just finished up some sweet visuals. Watching I did not know what to expect, I was right to think so. Video is nice, but then you hit the vocals for LMFAO. The mashup up is great, but the end of this video is hilarious. Definitely a fun video to play at a party.

Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa – Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted by dshaq on April 23, 2012
This song is bomb in so many ways that you just have to purchase it. After his Allderdice mixtape, Wiz gives us this brand new cut from his album, which is due out in August. Wiz goes hard on this one, like B.A.R./Kush & OJ hard, and this beat isn’t lacking either, produced by Benny Blanco and StarGate. Throw this on the weekend playlist and get ready to hear it on the radio, a lot.
