Electronic | Saturday, Monday – The Ocean (Dirge x Howl Remix)
Posted by Mel on April 5, 2014
Dirge and Howl are, apparently, two producers from Australia. There is no information anywhere about these guys other than that. However, I can share that in my short yet magical correspondence with Howl, he is almost always super turnt. He is also 18 and managing to create awesome stuff. There are only two songs on his Soundcloud and they are both below because they are both great. This is somebody you should keep an eye on because I can see him getting big fast.

Progressive House | Syndec – Riptide
Posted by Mel on March 25, 2014
I am well aware that vocals on a progressive house track are straight ballin and what most people prefer but once in a while it’s nice to hear one without. When there’s no vocals it allows you to truly listen to the music instead of being focused on the singer’s voice. Syndec is an eighteen year old Swedish producer and he managed to do with “Riptide” what most progressive house producers cannot when it comes to making a non vocal track, keep it interesting. The song is driven by an excellent light melody and is structured in a way that it does not get boring.

Abstract Hip-Hop, Electronic | Pomo – Vibrator
Posted by yabishcic on March 6, 2014
Pomo has been killing it lately. It seems as though the Canadian’s have been pumping out some seriously dope producers as of late 2013. I’d stay tuned if I were you because these beats are so funky fresh and speaker ready.
Electro, Trap | Jacuzzi – Torture (ft. Mr. Carmack)
Posted by admin on March 4, 2014
As I sit here writing this post, I find it very difficult to describe Jacuzzi and the genre which he has begun to take over. The newest offering “Torture” features Soulection’s own, Mr. Carmack and combines everything from trap to house. The song is a mere 1:31 seconds long, so enjoy it while you can and don’t sleep on Jacuzzi any longer than you have already.
“Torture” is included in Part 1 of the ‘Seppuku’ series, meaning that with any luck we will be hearing more from the producers, soon!
Chill, Jersey Club | Jailo & Vices – Loving You (Long Time)
Posted by mimada on February 17, 2014
Today being the first day I’ve seen sunshine in Sweden in about 2 months mixed with all these leftover Valentine’s Day tracks certainly has me still feelin’ some type of way this morning. And what better than a Mariah Carey Jersey Club track to cater to those feelings! “Loving You (Long Time),” a collab from the Dutch Jailo and Florida’s own Vices, is perfect for easy listening to get the blood moving and your toes tapping. Check it out and be sure to keep your eye on these producers in the months to come.
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Oliver Heldens Talks Evolution, Beard Care, Upcoming Productions and More (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by Middy on February 12, 2014
Holland made its way onto the global dance music scene with dutch house and then trance. It soon, alongside Sweden, became one of the powerhouse nations for dance music. In 2014 there is a new sound emanating from its cloudy, flat and rainy populace, something deeper and more groove driven, the sound that Oliver Heldens is bringing to the world.
The 18 year old had an abrupt change in sound at the end of 2013, going from a harder, electro sound to the current, “big room deep house” style that adds energy and style to a genre that can be flat and monotonous at times (yes some deep house can be boring). His career has exploded since then with the release of “Gecko” on Musical Freedom, first unveiled as an “ID” tune, an idea he loves, and has landed him the high-profile remix for Martin Garrix’s “Animals” and acclaim and support from DJs across all genres. He is set to blow up this year and we were able to ask him a few questions about his change in style, ghost producing, labels marketing songs as “IDs” and much more. Read on for the interview.
Dubstep, Progressive House | Denzal Park & Dave Winnel – The Great Valley
Posted by Middy on February 9, 2014
A trio of under rated producers from down under come together to create something that is very different for both parties. They have become known for their clubby, progressive house, and with “The Great Valley” they keep some of that sound, but go for something a little more mellow and different. They eschew the trend of big drops and go for something more soothing, with long melodic segments that almost act as though they are narrating some epic journey, only to be interrupted by a Seven Lions-esque dubstep bridge. It is great to see artists experiment outside of their comfort zone, and even better to see it work and it does here in “The Great Valley”.
