Chill, Electronic | Ta-ku – I Miss You More Feat. Atu
Posted by BP on October 8, 2013
I am beside myself with excitement right now. Ta-Ku’s “Songs to Break Up To” album is FINALLY released, and its fantastic! “I Miss You More Feat. Atu” is one of the tracks on the album, but let me tell you it was hard to pick just one to post here. The whole album really feels polished. Each track has beautiful instruments incorporated, some being piano and strings. It’s chill, emotional, and didn’t leave listeners with an ounce of disappointment.

Featured, Interviews | Bombs Away talks Miley Cyrus, Ass & Tits And more!
Posted by VMan on October 7, 2013
Writing for FNT has its perks of hanging out with the dopest artists on the scene at the moment, and rolling with brothers Sketch and Tommy Shades, otherwise known as Bombs Away for a leg of their US tour was a true riot. You might not be entirely familiar with the duo other then the post FNT did a year back, but these guys are superstars in the land down under, have sold millions of records to date, are signed to Ministry Of Sound Australia, and love themselves some big booty bitches! After a 30 hour plane ride from Australia, straight to their performance at the Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, and a 2 hour drive to NYC, I had a chance to sit down with the guys, and ask them a few questions.
Check out their latest release “Assassinate,” an epic trap record, and like the boys on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, and read our exclusive interview after the jump!
Electronic | Iggy Azalea – Change Your Life (Maddslinky Remix)
Posted by mimada on September 27, 2013
Aight y’all, I’m gonna come out and say I’ve been on a bit of a female empowerment kick lately (stay tuned, you’ll see) so I had to contribute a remix from one of the baddest bitches out in the game right now – that being, Iggy Azalea. Incase you’re not familiar with the Australian pop songstress, lemme inform you first and for most that, other than a wicked sense of style and ferocious stage presence, this girl has some serious curves, second perhaps only to the Bootylicious queen herself, Beyoncé of course. I tell you this because when you see Iggy in her music videos and on the cover of magazines, she looks like a *freaking* goddess. So all you prepubescent looking teenagers in your wife beaters can just move over because once Iggy gets in the spotlight there won’t be any room left for you.
Ehem. Anyways.
Here’s a remix from her second single of her album, The New Classic. After dropping a dope ass video, Iggy released a series of remixes of the track, so here’s my personal favorite: a very deep, head-bobbing rework from the man of many faces but who we’ll call Maddslinky // Zed Bias. Check it out, and the original video below as well.
Hip-Hop, Review | Drake – Nothing Was The Same (Review)
Posted by dshaq on September 23, 2013
Drake told us on his Versace remix that his album would come out in September, “just wait on it”. We have and on Tuesday it will finally be released to the public. Now we all know that it is available to the public, why else would I be writing a review on this album right now then? To be perfectly honest, I have not been a huge Drake fan these past couple years. However, I think at this point we can pretty much call him the Lebron James of the Rap Game. An egregious comment? Maybe, but what we cannot deny is that love him or hate him. Drake has a talent unmatched by nearly everyone else. Drake has implanted his name in the rap game for the last handful of years, with his previous mixtapes and of course his last album, Take Care.
“Nothing Was The Same” is quite simply put, a masterpiece. Its’ blending of so many different sounds and samples, matched with the many different vocal ranges that Drake provides really displays the true talent he possesses. What I think makes NWTS so amazing, is a perfect mix of both Drake’s singing and his rapping. Everyone loves hating on Drake for this, however with the rest of the album, it’s pretty difficult to say that he doesn’t go hard. (Song that best describes this: Furthest Thing) Songs like “Worst Behavior”, “Poundcake”, which has a phenomenal verse from HOV, and “Too Much” all pack heat. I easily think that this is the best LP from a rapper this year. Yes, I’m aware that Kendrick, Kanye, and Jay-Z all had albums come out this year. I highly encourage a deep listen to this album. Although a quick skim will suffice to a listener’s ear, Drake’s true genius is shown throughout the flow of the whole album. Make sure to buy the album tomorrow when it releases.

Progressive House | Kaskade – Atmosphere (Stereoshock Remix)
Posted by Mel on September 15, 2013
A young Australian boy once kissed me on the cheek in the second grade and I just took it. I didn’t know how to react. That moment was a new experience for me and so is every time I listen to a new track from Stereoshock. He is without a doubt one of the most creative and unique producers out there right now. For his latest project he took to remixing Kaskade’s “Atmosphere”, a song that many people adore but not me (“Eyes” is still easily his best track of the last few years). His remix starts off incredibly strong (like my distaste for guys who wear Toms) with one of the best intros I’ve heard in a while. Then the main piano hits and is complimented with the many layers of sounds and effects that is unique to him. The lead melody during the drop is perhaps his best yet. This is another solid outing from him and yet again he leaves me excited for his next track.

Hip-Hop, Rap | San Williams – #drugs
Posted by admin on September 14, 2013
A few days ago, I was perusing SoundCloud when I stumbled upon a rapper by the name of San Williams. Going in to the song with skepticism, (as I do with all random SoundCloud songs), I was instantly caught off-guard by San Williams distinct sound. A dark and raspy voice, the emcee has some bottled up emotion that spills on to each of his tracks. One in particular, “#drugs”, tells the tail of Williams quarrels with the drug game and his past experiences, speaking often times with a very pejorative tone towards the drug culture and those who use.
The song is powerful to say the least and the message behind really drives the whole project. Look below for what inspired San to write this song and also to stream/download the song itself.
San’s first encounter with drugs:
School had just ended. I was in third grade so instead of going to aftercare, I got to wait in the gym with the other big kids. On the average day, I’d sit in the gym for an hour or so till my mom picked me up, but this time my mom was already there. I knew something was wrong because as soon as I sat down I could see my mother’s eyes were red as if she had been crying.
“San, your dad was arrested today,” She whimpered as we pulled away from school. “ He was arrested for something that I just cant explain right now, but you will find out sooner or later, and when you do find out…” She then looked me straight in my eyes, the same way my father gave me that day on his bed “… When you find out just know that everything he did, he did for you.”
As we drove past our house my mother told me that we were going to visit him and the entire car ride there I felt numb, a feeling I still hold in my heart, a numbness that spreads from the edges of my toes to the crown of my head and throughout my soul. As we arrived at the station we began a process that to this day I still perform: starting with the waiting room then to the metal detectors and then to the holding area. My mother my sister and I walked towards the door with the guard in front and in we went.
Cracked glass smeared with a decades worth of filth and lies separated the two of us…
Albums, Electronic | Black Magic Remixes EP + Kill The Noise, Brillz & Minxx – Saturn (AMTRAC Remix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on September 4, 2013
It’s finally here in all its glory! All 9 remixes are as awesome as expected and the EP is a blast to listen to. The track list is stacked with remixes from big names, and each song is wildly different from the previous. Relentless electro-house, massive festival-trap and bad ass metal – just to name a few genres you’ll find. Also released yesterday on The Nest HQ (the OWSLA side project) were 3 remixes that didn’t wind up on the EP; Nick Thayer’s remix of Rockers, Durante’s remix of Jump Ya Body, and AMTRAC’s remix of Saturn. Being a huge fan of AMTRAC, and also being once again amazed by one of his remixes, I’ve included his remix to this post.
If you haven’t joined The Nest, now’s the time. Upon subscription to The Nest you receive the two latest releases, which right now happen to be this remix EP, PLUS, the Noisia & Foreign Beggars I Am Legion LP! You’ll also gain access to the 3 other remixes I mentioned. As always, you get Skrillex’s Leaving EP as well when you subscribe.
