Alternative | Kings of Leon – Wait For Me
Posted by VMan on August 7, 2013
I’m going to bring you back to ’08- ’09 with these guys, but Kings of Leon just dropped an uplifting track off their upcoming album Mechanical Bull, and it’s FNT worthy. “Wait For Me” has the same kind of sound that made these guys big, with tracks like “Use Somebody” and I’m glad they’re back at it. Stream it off their SoundCloud, purchase it on iTunes and if you’re an EDM producer, let’s hear some remixes!

Preview, Trance | BT, Orjan Nilsen & Dash Berlin Release Album Previews
Posted by Middy on August 5, 2013
BT has been one of the most prolific trance (though his sound has evolved) producers over the past 10-15 years, not only making music for others (Paul Oakenfold is one name) and collaborating with countless artists, but also releasing 8 full length albums. “A Song Across The Wire” is his 9th album, where we see some of his latest singles and his progressive trance sound, but also a venture into dubstep. It will be released August 16th. Pre-order on iTunes or at Armada shop.
Orjan Nilsen has been a staple of the trance scene for years now, releasing some of the biggest tracks in trance. His album wlll try and take his ability to make monster singles and create one cohesive journey that trance is so adept at doing. It will be released August 30th, 2 weeks after BT’s album. Pre-order on iTunes at Armada shop.
Ok, the Dash Berlin album preview is a bit misleading because he is just releasing a deluxe edition of #musicislife, but there is a whole second CD filled with mostly new remixes, 2 new singles (though one was recently released) and some live video. The deluxe version will be released August 23rd, one week after BT’s album so get ready for some outstanding trance on Fridays this month. Pre-order on iTunes or at Armada shop. Previews and tracklistings for each of the albums is after the jump.
Chill, House | Robin Schulz – Waves (Bootleg)
Posted by VMan on August 1, 2013
Robin Schulz dropped a bootleg remix of German artist Mr Probz’s track “Waves” 3 months ago and it’s so sensational I had to share! Mr Probz’ soulful voice makes this record, and Schulz adds his touch by layering it with some sexy drums, some light guitar riffs and some piano chords to make it just perfect. If you’re looking to relax, and get some peace of mind, just press play, “Waves” has that summer sound to get you feeling right. Ya’ll know the drill, this is a must listen, and a must download!

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Adrian Lux Interview [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Middy on July 30, 2013
Prinz Adrian Johannes Hynne aka Adrian Lux has had a long, winding road to where he is now, rising to his well-respected status in dance music. First getting into music around the age of 16, he started as a hip hop DJ before moving into the more underground realms of dance music that were popular at the time in his native Stockholm. He eventually found his sound, becoming heavily influenced by indie pop and a wide range electronic artists in Sweden from Andrew Beyer, to Axwell, to Eric Prydz.
We had the chance to talk about his tour and his show last Saturday, his early DJ life, moving to America and what he is in store for the future. Having just released his debut album last spring, and another on the way soon, it will be very exciting to see everything he has in store for us.
Hip-Hop | Just Juice – It’s Like That

It seems like the new sound is the old sound. People are fiend-ing for that old-school hip-hop, and Juice is the dealer. His newest release “It’s Like That” is fully equip with vinyl scratches, 90’s drum kit, and of course a seamless delivery. Juice has been busy this summer before heading back off to school in the fall, so hopefully we’ll be getting some new music very soon!
Be on the look out for Juice to team back up with his brother and long-time rapping partner, Mojo, in the near future as well. Enjoy, and scoop up the free download. It’s like that y’all.
Albums, Hip-Hop | Connor Evans – The Road To Coachella [Free Album]
Posted by Grubeats on July 25, 2013
If you haven’t realized, it’s 2013 and white rappers are in. Connor Evans has that hybrid rapper/singer west coast sound. Rooted in Redlands, Cali, he can’t help but have some of that ganja influence in his rhymes, but don’t mistake him for a “weed” rapper. He raps with intellect, clarity, & confidence. “The Road to Coachella” is, well, Connor’s first steps on his journey to the big stage; The Road to Coachella. Not masked by any major features, this album is that sound hip-hop fans are fixed on. 15 tracks in, I can confidently say this young G may be seeing himself on the Coachella lineup sooner than he thinks. Listen through, but if you have the patience of a pigeon, start off with “Hipsters & Primadonnas” and “Ridin’ on a Storm”.

Trance | Andy Duguid & Audrey Gallagher – In This Moment
Posted by Middy on July 24, 2013
While other labels like Armada and Anjunabeats have evolved and expanded their sounds to include the many variations of trance, Black Hole Recordings has been one of the few label strongholds for the traditional trance sound. The latest offering from the label comes from Scotsman Andy Duguid, who tabs noted trance vocalist Audrey Gallagher to provide an etheral top line for this track. The BPM is not going to crush you into a wall like a John O’Callahan track, but the uplifting qualities are more than present with fast moving key play, a euphoric melody and matching vocals. Yes there is the opening cymbal from “Levels” in there, so don’t despair, but rather just listen to the whole track and you will see why.
