Dubstep, Exclusive, Featured | Doctor P & Adam F feat. Method Man – The Pit (Doctor P VIP Mix) [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on October 24, 2013
Ever since the explosion of dubstep / brostep in 2011, its infusion with rap has become much more commonplace with bigger and bigger names taking part. The most notable and successful example would be ASAP Rocky, Skrillex & Birdy Nam Nam “Wild For The Night”, which broke through on radio and into the mainstream, commercial audience. You can now add another notable collab to the list, with Doctor P, Adam F and Method Man all coming together on one track “The Pit”. The VIP relies more on the low end and robotic sounds, rather than the high-pitched piercing effects that Doctor P has made his living using in his productions.
Stream the track exclusively below and watch the video for the track as well. “The Pit” comes out on Monday, the 28th, as part of a 4 track EP for “The Pit” that includes the single, the VIP mix, and remixes from Datsik and Brillz. Preorder it all here.
Alternative, Indie | Generationals – Put a Light On It
Posted by yabishcic on October 9, 2013
I’m not one to jump to Alternative / Indie right off the bat but after my boyfriend turned me onto the Generationals, I simply could notttt get enough. Definitely a band for the masses with feel good sounds and exceptional lyrics; wouldn’t be surprised if I start hearing them on the radio soon. Enjoy one of my favorites from their most recent endeavor ‘Heza’.
Pop, Videos | Timeflies – Ride [Lyric Video]

Hits on hits on hits. After their first notable, Billboard single, “I Choose U”, Timeflies deliver the second official release a week before their Warning Signs EP hits digital shelves. Laced with radio ready rhymes and a electro-pop production, this song may very well be making a run at Billboard’s top 40. Cal has always proven he can sing, but he really embraces his rnb/pop sound on this track and delivers one feel good sing-along for the fans. Warning Signs EP, 10/14.

Trap | Play-N-Skillz – MCHG (Remixes)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 2, 2013
Play-N-Skillz have been quiet as of late, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been working hard. Coming off the success of their “Tom Ford” remix that saw spins on national radio, they release their anticipated “Magna Carta Holy Grail” remixes to the blogosphere. Look for a big single featuring Red Foo, Krazie Bone, and Lil Jon in the near future from the Grammy boys. Keep an eye out, they’re on the rise.
FYI, Hip-Hop | When Will We Be Ready to Listen?
Posted by jeffwbaird on September 29, 2013
July 1, 1982, the conversation began. This was almost a decade after Kool Herc first put his hand to vinyl on Prospect Ave., addressing the crowd over the beat—a mix of popular record samples. A new record was on its way to radio, slated for a hip-hop audience, though it was a drastic change to its proven formula. Hip-hop, at the time, was party feeder, and steadily gaining national attention as a result: just a year earlier The Funky 4 Plus One had performed their hit “That’s the Joint” on SNL (the first instance of the genre on television), and Africa Bambaataa’s techno-heavy “Planet Rock” was becoming ubiquitous on the radio circuit, having fully embraced the relationship between hip-hop and dance music.
Bass, Electro, Mainstream Remix | Lorde – Royals (Sharkf3ng Remix)
Posted by admin on September 13, 2013
One of the most entrancing new songs that’s been running across the radio-waves has to be Lorde’s “Royals”. The slow tempo, anti-materialism ballad has the world captured, meaning it’s the perfect time for remixes! Sharkf3ng hops on the track and, interestingly enough, keeps the tempo the same allowing the song to keep much of it’s original flare. With a hard-hitting bass line and provocative womps, Sharkf3ngs truly a product to remember.
Enjoy the song and grab a free download while you’re at it.
Preview, Progressive House | Michael Brun – Gravity EP (Preview)
Posted by Middy on September 5, 2013
He’s been saying it was coming for months now, and for a time we all believed it was imminent. But after a while, like the boy who cried wolf, an artist can only say “soon” so many times before fans stop believing you and stop paying attention to your release date posts. At last, after a few recent remixes, we have that precious EP from Michael Brun and a solid release date on September 23rd. It includes “Halfway”, featuring vocals from Zashanell, which has already seen radio play, so expect that one to become a big single for Mr. Brun.
1. Gravity
2. Halfway
3. Antares
