Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on June 15, 2012
For this weeks Drum & Bass Friday, I ended with a lot of Liquid tracks. Not that it’s a bad thing, Liquid Drum & Bass is art, very smooth, often beautiful to listen to. Starting off the post is preview of an unofficial remix of Madeon’s ‘Icarus’ by Crissy Criss. This remix sounds awesome. No word on a download release date yet, but it is well worth listening to. Crissy Criss really gave the remix his own sound.
Last track for the post you can’t download, is a clip from iM3’s upcoming album, ‘Silence Before The Storm.’ This Liquid track is incredibly smooth, with a very cool groove that fades in and out on the drop.
Continuing the Liquid of the post is a calm track from Wolftek. I absolutely love the flutes that come in and out throughout the track. If you had a rough day or just want to relax, this is the perfect track for you.
The composure of this track is gorgeous. It is very progressive, with the second drop breaking into more of a Drum & Bass beat.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Hit-Boy – Jay-Z Interview (Official Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 10, 2012
I hadn’t gotten around to watching this video because I thought it was an ACTUAL interview with Hit-Boy about Jay-Z…turns out, Hit-Boy titled the song “Jay Z Interview.” So sorry for the tardiness of this post. If you are not familiar with Hit-Boy, he produces for the likes of…well…everyone. Hit-Boy is signed to Kanye’s West’s GOOD Music, and the grammy nominated beat maker tries his hand at rapping in this video. His lyrics and wordplay is incredible, and his flow seems almost…Kanye like. I did find it interesting that he didn’t produce this track himself. Even if Hit-Boy’s career as a rapper doesn’t take off, he can always fall back on making dope beats.
Electro-House, Progressive House | The 8th Note – 4 The People (Incl Leventina Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 27, 2012
Dutch Trio, The 8th Note are back coming off of their 3 very successful collaborations with fellow compatriot Nilson. Their latest collaboration,”Transformers” supported by Morgan Page, Thomas Gold and many more is below at the end of the post. The 8th Note provide the original track with a smooth piano build with techy bass line elements. It then builds further in volume and energy into a uplifting synth melody accompanied by Gregorian style chants and a thumping bass line. As you guys know, I am very high on Leventina and their ability to blend seamlessly electro and progressive electro house during songs and among tracks in their back catalog. Thomas Gold played “We’re Gonna Start” at EDC NYC so you know things are only on the up and up for them. They get into the track from the 1st second with a complex bass driven bass line and getting the synth build with the Gregorian like chants established by The 8th Note going early. They take that piano and synth build and crescendo into a festival ready drop of rhythmic synth chords and a pounding bass line.

Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on May 18, 2012
I get really excited when it is my week to do Drum & Bass Friday, in fact this might be my favorite post to do. I really try to keep variety in this post, offering dance, liquid, and heavier styled Drum & Bass tracks. This first track is an absolute gem that is dance floor ready. Traktion released this track in celebration of hitting 1000 likes on Facebook. I really love the vocals on this track, and the feel good vibes. One of my new favorites for sure.
Next we have a Reggae vibed Drum & Bass tune. Using deeper bass effects, this is an awesome chilled out track using vocals from Bob Marley.
With an almost sad feeling to the track, Paranoid Break teamed up with vocalist RaRCharm really put together a very emotion liquid original. The piano really sets off the infused emotion of this. Despite the sad vibe it gives off, this is a great track.
Before we get to the heavier Drum & Bass I had to squeeze in this last gem. ShockLine is another one of the no body producers I love to stumble upon. What caught my eye about this track was not just that it is a great Drum & Bass tune, but his creativity to blend in a bit of Trance as well. Those of you trying to get on FNT, creativity is a major thing I look for. Do your own thing.

Drum & Bass | DnB Saturdays
Posted by Sev on May 12, 2012
Summer has begun (well at least for me) and that means festivals and music all day everyday. Not being able to post for almost a week because of finals was driving me crazy, so this is the first post of many. Xilent has slowly climbed up my chart of favorites near the top with his melodic yet bass bumping Dnb and Dubstep. Being released on Tuesday is his newest EP “UltraFunk” with some promising tracks, incuding this amazing monstrous original DnB track entitled Do It. Great stuff from Audio Porn Records; they wont be disappointed with this one at all. The next and last preview was sent to us from our friends over at InfraRed music providing us with nothing short of the best in Dnb. Rewind dropping a new track that is heavy on the bass and the perfect secret weapon for destroying any crowd. The track should be releasing within the next month so stay tuned for more information on its release.
This has to be one of the best free giveaways in the past month thanks to Loadstar. These guys are masters of Dnb, and they gave the fans this nice little two track EP. Second Skin just absolutely melted my face off when I heard and I just can’t stop jamming to the sick basslines. Don’t pass up on these or else you will regret it.
Drumsound and Bassline Smith being kind enough to grace us with a freebie this week as well. Really interesting melody choice for this track, nevertheless is still goes hard. These guys are bringing the bass as well and also the crazy synth sounds. Amazing progression of instrumentsx through the track as well.
Read on for the rest of the free downloads!
