iTunes: Max Elto – Backyard Animals

Saw this video on Facebook, and I’m liking the song a lot. The track is called “Backyard Animals” by Swedish duo Max Elto. The best way to describe their sound is indie-electro, a perfect blend of indie rock and electro. The duo just signed to Big Beat at Atlantic Records, and at the sound of things I’m expecting a bright future for these two! This is a must listen and a must watch!

Electro, House | Izzy Bizu – White Tiger (Star Slinger Remix)

Posted by on November 19, 2013

This is a light track, something I would suggest playing if you’re in one of those moods where you just happened to wake up on the most perfect side of the bed and everything from that moment has just been good. This song is the cherry on top of your good ass day and Star Slinger always knows how to put a upbeat spin on any song he gets his hands on…

Alternative, Electro | Generationals – Put A Light On (Teen Daze Remix)

Posted by on November 19, 2013

Ok, this is just perfect. I covered the original version of this song about a month or two back and honestly, I don’t know how much attention the song has actually got since its release because I love the song too much too care. But Teen Daze hit this one right on the head. The remix is clutch, spot on, however you wanna put it – I dig it. If you’re a fan of the original Generationals tune then you don’t want to miss this impeccable remix.

“Yo Mel! I know you don’t have many friends and still don’t have a girlfriend  and also stay home most of the time so I’ve got the perfect site for you, edm-date.com”. That’s (roughly) what Middy said to me a week ago and I was admittedly intrigued. The thought of meeting a girl who loves Avicii, Zedd, Calvin Harris, Alesso, and that one Swedish House Mafia song as much I really got me going! Could I even find a girl like that at school?  Not a chance! I was stirring at the opportunity to sign up and finally get a gf at last! I figured it would be a bit of work though and I was already pretty tired, just had a piece of cheesecake ya know (super filling), so I took a nap. I woke up in a different state of mind however. Do I really want to look for love online? I don’t know, that’s what losers do… What about if things go well so we decide to meet up somewhere and it turns out we actually have a great time. We laugh and tell stories, spend the night telling each other about our childhood and what not. I then pay for dinner, drive her home, and she lies in bed thinking about me. I, on the other hand, lie in bed and cry because she has Megan Fox thumbs and a slightly askew left eyebrow so I have no other choice but to never talk to her again. There were many similar questions buzzing around in my head so I was unsure as to whether or not I wanted to go through with it. A sticky stomach and a shameful shower later, it was time to get to work.

 

So… I did it. I signed up and attempted to get a date. Does this EDM exclusive dating site actually provide people with a chance to find love with likeminded individuals or was it all a waste of time? Read on to find out.

The DMV is next up. We’ve seen cities emerge this past year and show off their stars, but really and truly, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia is blossoming with so much talent that it is becoming impossible to ignore. At the forefront of the movement is the Hostile Youth clan.

Today I bring to you an offering from two of the Hostile Youth members, Ace Cosgrove and Uno Hype. The duo delivers a eerie track with a hint of jazz, perfect for your post-halloween festivities. The song clocks in at only 2 minutes, meaning there will hopefully be plenty more collaboration in the near future.

Call it a hiatus, a sabbatical, a comeback, a leave of absence; however you may see it, Azad Right is back like he never left.  The expectations from hip-hop artists has shifted over the past 5-7 years.  Fans expect new music and they expect it often.  Azad took a step back to catch his breath after coming out of the gates with fire.  Time to analyze, work, focus his sound, perfect his craft.  “Now I Know” is a compilation of thoughts, emotions, & knowledge obtained during his time off.  With production from his right hand man, Jason Marquez, who crafted a bellowing beat that kicks Azad’s music career back on track.

Bootleg, Electro | Danny Brown – Dip (Ghost Hunna Bootleg)

Posted by on October 24, 2013

ghost hunna dip

Some of you probably remember a few weeks back when I unleashed “Look Out!” to the FNT readers, a bass-heavy medley from NYC producer, Ghost Hunna. Well, Yung Hunna -no affiliation to Yung Humma– has returned to blow our minds once more.

This go-round Hunna steers away from his original production and hops aboard Danny Brown’s eccentric, “Dip”, in an attempt to make it even more outlandish. And, folks, he accomplished the impossible. The only element which you should expect in this bootleg is the element which you least expected. “Dip” is all across the board, complete with broken chords and a pounding UK-style bass line perfect for the club, car, or kitchen.
