Chill, House | U.S. Royalty – Into the Thicket (Dino Remix)

Posted by on June 2, 2014

I’m really excited to share this song with you for a multitude of reasons, one being that it beautifully redefines what typically comes to mind when you hear the words “Swedish” and “house.” This track from Stockholm-based producer, DINO, is a delightful, summery indie house remix to U.S. Royalty’s “Into The Thicket,” perfectly integrating that American folk feel with an electric beat. Categorize this under “Songs to Listen to While Driving at Sunset With the Windows Down” and you won’t regret it.

Progressive House | Gentle Bones – Until We Die (Manfred & Atran Remix)

Gentle Bones - Until We Die (Manfred & Atran Remix)

Tyra Banks blows me away with her undeniable smarts but for some reason, when I first heard this song, I did not feel the same way. To be fair, my first listen was heard through laptop speakers so I jerked my way over to my room, grabbed my headphones and proceeded to get into the zone. I rubbed the tip for a second, gave it a kiss, plugged the headphone jack in and pressed play. I actually enjoyed the song very much on that listen and each time I listened to afterwards I would like it more and more. The producers behind this remix are Manfred, a gentleman from Singapore with only 34 followers on Soundcloud and Atran, a producer with 170 followers on Soundcloud and yet, an odd 70k likes on Facebook. Pretty freaky stuff to be sure but the song is good so look past it and enjoy. Also, if you don’t enjoy it, keep it to yourself. There’s no room for criticism here at FNT.

Progressive House | Didrick – A Part Of You

Posted by on May 31, 2014

Didrick - A Part Of You

Didrick is a young producer from Sweden who has flown under the radar of pretty much everybody not from that area. He has done official remixes for Avicii & Nicky Romero’s “I Could Be The One” as well as Cazzette’s “Beam Me Up” and yet he is not very well known. It’s safe to say the main reason for that is because his catalogue of releases is extremely small, with just those two songs being on it. Another entry to that catalogue was made however when Didrick released his first single, “A Part Of You”, not long ago. Quite simply, the song is really good. If he keeps making tracks like this then there’s no doubt he’ll become just as household a name as Ryan Seacrest. Sadly, the song is only out in Scandinavian countries at the moment so give his Facebook a like and stay up to date on the worldwide release. He says it’ll be soon.

Electronic | Banks – Drowning (Howl Edit)

Banks - Drowning (Howl Edit)

I was at the mall earlier looking for a scarf for my bro when I checked my phone to see an email from Soundcloud. Howl, the mysterious producer behind these great songs had messaged me again, like he always does when he wants something. I wouldn’t call him a toxic friend, but he is close. He also released a new song last night, an edit of Banks’ “Drowning”, and it is really good. A lot of the original remains but what he did change was a big improvement to the already impressive original.

Bass, Chill, Electro | Sevyn Streeter (ft. Chris Brown) – It Won’t Stop [Manila Killa & Hunt For the Breeze Remix]

Posted by on May 28, 2014

Right about now is the time of the year when all artists kick it in to overdrive with their output of summer-friendly music. A few days ago, Manila Killa and Hunt for the Breeze took to Sevyn Streeter and Chris Brown’s song, “It Won’t Stop” to give it their own special treatment.

With a sound reminiscent of Trippy Turtle, Manila Killa and Hunt for the Breeze bring a jazz-infused and groovy flare to the song. The vocals of Streeter and Brown are incorporated flawlessly with Jersey Club-type synths and breaks.

Enjoy the refreshing track, and toss it on this week’s playlist.

Progressive House | Third Party – Everyday Of My Life

Third Party - Everyday Of My Life

Third Party are perhaps the most melodically talented artists at Size and they never disappoint with their productions, except for the fact that they don’t release enough of them. It has not been long since their impressive “Nobody To Love” remix and they have followed it up superbly. “Everyday Of My Life” is, not surprisingly, a melody driven song. It upholds the high quality of both the duos tracks as well as the releases on Size.

Progressive House | Max Elto – Shadow Of The Sun (Mako Remix)

Max Elto - Shadow Of The Sun (Mako Remix)

When I posted the original club mix of this song back in December, I was extremely fond it. It was my favorite song for quite some time and still to this day do I think it is one of the most under-appreciated progressive house tracks. Mako is a duo who has done big things last year and have more big things coming this year, most notably a collaboration with Steve Angello, so if there were a pair of producers I could trust to remix this it would be my all time favorite dudes and my tight, tight bros, The Chainsmokers. Mako are also two guys who are capable of doing justice to the original and they did with their remix. The song starts off well with the vocals being placed at the forefront, but as soon as the synth build comes in you’ll fall in love. Support the guys by purchasing it on Beatport and get ready for the inevitable release of “Children Of The Wild”, their song with Steve Angello.
