Progressive house will always have it’s audience. EC Twins give them what they want with a pop-meets-prog house tune that is perfect for anytime.

Chill, House | The Him Goes Big On New Original “Feels Like Home”
Posted by VMan on December 7, 2015
The Him is the perfect symbol for what the chill house movement has become, representing this unique balance between chill, pop, and dance that hits the spot and makes the scene shine. The duo caught my eye a couple of months ago when their Chainsmokers remix went viral.
Last week, the Amsterdam duo dropped “Feels Like Home.” A warm original that sweeps you up and takes you along for the ride. A synth fused with a cut-up vocals sample makes up the drop – a fantastic highlight of the single. From the fine-tuned instrument choice to the overall sunny vibe of ‘Feels Like Home,” it’s clear The Him have hit a home run.

A little late on this one but the Summer vibes are very real on this one and I needed some Summer in my life today. This catchy little tune was co-written by good friends Jack Fiskio and TJ Hickey who both hail from Boston. Jack on the hook and TJ shredding the verses was the perfect formula for this catchy tune.

I would have posted this on Sunday when it was released but I was too busy playing this on repeat over and over again. While Jeremy Zucker is new to FNT Quinn XCII is no stranger. Quinn’s EP Change of Scenery has been a personal favorite and the way in which he blended pop, tropical house and hip hop together was absolutely perfect. In the latest offering from Zucker, he self produces and pens an extremely catchy tune that you’ll have on repeat for days to come.
