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!

Dubstep | Taiki & Nulight – Rising Up
Posted by Sev on May 10, 2012
Sorry I have been MIA this week, but finals are getting the best of me. Next week I will unleash all this stuff I have been saving up so brace yourselves. Until then I just had to post this track by the up and coming duo Taiki & Nulight. Although individually these guys aren’t new to the music scene, the duo is making a name for itself. Giving away this monster track on their Facebook for free finally it was a must post. Loving everything about this one. If you want to hear more from these guys be sure to like them on Facebook, because they have some more free stuff on the way. Download link is posted below.
Hip-Hop | Matisyahu – Sunshine
Posted by J_Salzer on May 9, 2012
Everyone’s favorite rapping Hasidic Jew is back. Matisyahu drops off Sunshine for our listening(studying) pleasure. It’s almost finals time, and there’s nothing like studying with some Matisyahu. The beat on this is more synthesized than most Matisyahu songs, and we get less of an “instrumental” feel. But with those petty issues away, it’s a great song. You have 48 hours to download this LEGALLY for free if you go here. If you’re reading this post after your 48 hours is up, then no worries, just grab it on iTunes or stream it from YouTube above.
Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Mach on May 4, 2012
The last two Drum & Bass Friday posts may have been on Saturday, but I am really excited about doing this Drum & Bass post this Friday. This first track is a preview of Fred V & Grafix’s upcoming remix of ‘Feel The Love,’ and it is absolutely breath taking. The duo has been burning up Drum & Bass as of late, remixes like this I am hoping will reflect originals they will drop in the future. This remix drops May 28th, I will make sure we post it up that day to keep everyone on top of things.
Last track you can’t download in this post, I promise the rest is free. InsideInfo has been producing Drum & Bass jams for quite some time now. This most recent preview of his really caught my eye. It is set for release on his upcoming EP, ‘Grow,’ and once the Didgeridoo effects break in you are sold. Very cool and creative, a must have when it drops May 28th.
Taking a stand for women of the industry, AivaSound produced and sang on this beautiful original of her’s. I love the bass in the beginning that sounds and feels like a beating heart. The rest of the track stays completely true to the name, it is a great ‘Melody.’
This next track is a contribution from my boy W8 (pronounced ‘wait’). This is an awesome Liquid Drum & Bass track. Pretty Lights had already created an incredible tune when he made this original. The Drum & Bass just feels like a little extra something for the fans.
SizzleBird…haha it is a funny name, but this track is no joke. This is a sick original work, I love finding the no name people. You know when they post something their heart, soul, and life were put into it. Some people don’t have it in them to make art, but SizzleBird did just that.
This last track is a very smooth instrumental. The piano composition sounds great with the Drum & Bass beat that it is built off of. I do not know much about the artist, but another nobody I look forward to a future of music from.
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.
