Compilation | Goldroom – Solé Fixtape Vol. 7
Posted by Juicebox on February 3, 2013
The boys over at Solé Bicycles are back at it again with another installment of their monthly Fixtape series. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Solé, they’re a visionary lifestyle brand based in Venice, CA that specializes in fixed gear bicycles. These bikes are definitely worth checking out so don’t sleep on them and keep your eyes peeled for a custom FNT Solé bike which will be released shortly (right Brian Ruben?) This month’s mixtape was crafted by LA’s own Goldroom who provides a sound like nothing we’ve posted before. It’s different, but it’s fantastic…do yourself a favor and just sit back and start a relationship with this sensual mix for the next hour (tracklist after the jump).

My good friends,
It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. – Drake

Electronic, House | Funky Friday #1
Posted by Mach on January 25, 2013
The on going joke between my friend Nammo and myself is that we should have lived our 20s in the 1970s. We just love the funky, disco vibes that just make you want to feel good and break it down. There isn’t anything wrong with a little funk in the week so I decided to start up Funky Friday. This dance filled post will contain Funk, Bass Funk, Disco-House, basically any and everything that could connect with your funky bone. Starting off the first Funky Friday is an epic vinyl only release from Ghetto Funk. It is probably one of the greatest things I have ever heard. Again it is vinyl only release on Jan. 28th. These previews are worth dipping into though.
Next is a golden Disco-House remix from RUNVS. This is my tune of the weekend, I just can’t get enough of it.
This De La Phunk remix is a sort of lounge Disco-House to start, but then two minutes in the finally piece of the puzzle breaks in. This would be such an awesome song to hear live and loud, feeling the beat pound into your chest and exhale through your legs.
It wouldn’t be a funky post without Aeroplane’s Miami synths. 1980s styled Disco-House with a little bit of that Miami spirit going through your speakers.
Cover, Videos | Justin Timberlake – Suit and Tie Ft. Jay Z (PropaneLv Cover) [Video]
Posted by J_Salzer on January 17, 2013
On the heels of the post below, crafted by my legendary partner Mach, I give you another take on Justin Timberlake’s latest single. PropaneLv puts his own twist on the pop sensations latest. I really like this version, but I was a fan of the original, unlike the blogfather, A. This video was edited by FNT veteran Chi Duly, so you know it’s good. Check it out above and make sure you check out Propane’s twitter, you won’t regret it.

Compilation | The Betchiest Male Friendly Compilation of Songs: Part 1
Posted by ATexas on January 11, 2013
Okay, so I’m the last to post my compilation, but good things come to those who wait just look at the Virgin Mary she held out and and then she popped out a messiah. My songs are probably at that level and by probably, I mean they are like the next coming good. These are the songs that you casually put on right after you have your friends attention and there like “Bro, these songs are hella tight” and you’re like, “What? Yeah, its whatever.” These songs are the soundtrack to buy a black v-neck, adopt a bengal tiger, call your shaman and throw a really chic party where you’ll probably get laid by a “new-age” girl AKA a huge slut. Ciao Betches.

DJ-Set | Weekend Mixes 1/10/13 Year End Edition Part 2
Posted by Middy on January 10, 2013
It is time for the weekend and since I missed last week, there is going to be A LOT of mixes in this post. I have about 24 hours of music and all of it good. We start things off with Hardwell’s yearmix that goes through his accomplished discography from this year and a selection of tracks from his label, Revealed Recordings. Next up is from yearmix from Nicky Romero that includes his numerous releases from this year and the unreleased “Symphonica”. Hook N Sling provides us with his take on 2012 in a high energy, bootleg heavy mix. Young Polish Dj Tom Swoon goes the extra mile and gives us 61 tracks in 2 hours for his year end mix, traversing genres from electro to trance to progressive.
After the jump we have the two latest episodes of The Drop that include exclusives from both guest mixers, Qulinez & Synchronice. Next week they are celebrating their 50 episode with mixes from Djs like Leon Bolier, Lazy Rich & Maor Levi all week so head to their Facebook page for full details. You will also find year end mixes from Dannic, Inpetto, who mix 50 songs in 1 hour, Dzeko & Torres who mix 40 songs in 10 minutes, Gregori Klosman and N3AKO. Lastly, included are a various assortment of other mixes and live sets from the past week or so, notably from NYE celebrations.
Electronic | Ultraista – Gold Dayzz (Maribou State Remix)
Posted by W8 on December 28, 2012
Usually by the time I realize a track has lasting relevancy it’s already too late for that post. This one’s been a favorite of mine over the last month, and Maribou State recently making it a free download adds that extra pleasantry now resulting in one. See guys, we live in a timesndsagldssl. Yeah, I won’t even try and bore you with another facade of philosophical ranting. Although I will say… it is quite a fascinating thing how tracks can sometimes be more accurate than a news article on daily events can ever be.
