Albums | Food For Thought: Drake’s “Take Care”
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 7, 2011
[NOTE: the Tweet above is from June 24th, 2011]
Let me preface this post by saying, FNT is no saint nor do we pretend to be. We’ve slipped up numerous times in the past and will most likely continue to do so in the future. It’s just the nature of the beast. With that said, we are refraining from posting the most “buzzing” album we’ve seen in a long time, Drake’s “Take Care”. It’s not because we are scared, it’s not because we think we are above everyone else, it’s not because we don’t want you to hear it. It’s because at the moment we think its the right thing to do. It did well over 200k downloads off Hulkshare alone in the first 2.5 hours so it’s out there if you want it. We aren’t stopping you from typing “Hulkshare Drake Take Care” into your browsers. I simply want to give the following article and the related tweet I’ve posted above some much deserved attention, perhaps it’ll influence your decision.

Indie | W8’s Indie Pack #1
Posted by W8 on November 3, 2011
Indie is the essence of a daydream, floating in the bluest water ever seen on a white sand powdered beach, staring up at stars shining in darkness, thinking there’s no place I’d rather be than in my imagination dreaming about this. My passion for an indie record sedates and humbles me, likely for you a genre yet to be discovered in all its inherent beauty. I’ve compiled over 1200 indie tracks this year alone and it only made sense to compress the gems out of my collection and share 15, some aren’t that new but have sympathy, for most they are. If you like the post, let it be known and they’ll continue.

Dubstep | R Rated #1
Posted by Mach on November 2, 2011
Many people have been asking for a wobble wednesday of sorts. Sev & I both agreed that we could do a sick dubstep post every wednesday but using the same name wouldn’t suit the dirty tracks on it. Starting today, every Wednesday, Sev & I will post the dubstep that shatters your ears and rattles your brain. Providing an R Rating to your ears.

Dubstep, Electro, Hip-Hop, RnB | Re:generation Project: DJ Premier, Crystal Method, Pretty Lights, & Skrillex
Posted by Mach on October 28, 2011
It only made sense to do an entire post dedicated to the project. Seeing as not only did the Skrillex collaberation with The Doors drop, but so did the other tracks off the Re:generation Project, minus Mark Ronson’s contribution which hasn’t been posted yet. I would like to note that all available mp3s of these tracks online are in fact rips from the Re:generation Project videos on youtube. This is because no actual digital copies of the tracks have been released or leaked yet.
DJ Premier isn’t one of my favorites, but after an amazing track like this one, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did some more classical/hip-hop blends.
DOWNLOAD: DJ Premier – Regeneration (Ft. Nas & The Berklee Symphony Orchestra)
Don’t let Crystal Method’s name deter you from listening. This track is one of the funkiest electro-rock tracks I have ever heard.
DOWNLOAD: Crystal Method – I’m Not Leaving (Ft. Martha Reeves and The Funk Brothers)
I refuse to lie. I am one of the few people to tell you that every mp3 you find right now of these, despite what quality it may say, is in fact a rip from youtube. I will also say that this track isn’t that good. Pretty Light’s Country Roads remix was a much better interpretation showing the blend of electro and country.
DOWNLOAD: Pretty Lights – Wayfaring Stranger (Ft. LeAnn Rimes and Dr. Ralph Stanley)
Last but not least (until Mark Ronson drops his gem) is Skrillex and The Doors. Probably the most anticipated track of the 5. As some noticed at the end of the video above, the video does in fact end in a second collaboration The Doors and Skrillex have done. No news yet on its name or release date.
Dubstep | Skrillex Ft. The Doors, Gangsta Fun, Rednek, and Arkasia

With this post I felt like breaking the barrier…of your ear drums. This isn’t some lame wobble wednesday post, TURN THAT BASS UP!!!
This track was added last minute, it is in fact a rip, but I wish anyone best of luck in finding a legit copy. If anyone thinks they did in fact find a good copy, don’t horde haha, share in the comments.

Dubstep | Benny Benassi – Come Fly Away (Dash Total’D Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 24, 2011
UNREAL Soft-core dubstep track. If you’re new to FNT (and there are lots of you so don’t feel shy about asking questions), soft core dubstep is what I like to refer to as vocal, easy on the ear, dubstep. Sure you have a few whomps here and there, but they won’t make your ears bleed. This is typically the only style you’ll see me post, I leave the rest up to Mach. This wonderful track embodies this “soft core” sub genre.
