Deep House | Navaz Remix of Criminal ft. Los Rakas & Far East Movement: Listen
Posted by VMan on August 26, 2016
Fresh off his new EP Palante, Rell The Soundbender has been on fire as of late. As one of the most active producers you’ll come across, Rell is churning out consistently high energy tracks. This time around, DJ and producer out of Panama, Navaz, attacked Rell’s already spectacular track “Criminal,” with his own unique style of tribal heavy tones and tech house grooves. Allowing an alluring rhythm to sway the track in his way, Navaz brings forth a pallet of compelling sounds. Lay back and enjoy the vibes!
Interviews | Meet One Of LA’s Hottest Progressive House DJs: Varun
Posted by VMan on July 22, 2016
Varun is one of LA’s quickest rising progressive house artists. If you are thinking this is Above and Beyond, think again. This dude goes hard and his releases speak for themselves, delivering heavy-hitting tracks with strong melodies. We go to dive into Varun’s life as a DJ/producer in our up-close and exclusive interview with Varun.
Where do you think the direction of progressive house is heading?
Varun: It’s tough to say. I love Progressive House but the scene is definitely changing. There are a lot of new styles of music that are coming out and people are loving it. The biggest shift I’ve seen are these more percussive and noise driven drops (almost seeming a bit random at times). Some of it is a bit much for me but some of it is executed pretty damn well.
Interviews | Bricks Break’s Down His House Roots, Timing, Future Plans & More In Exclusive Interview
Posted by VMan on July 19, 2016
Bricks has a classic LA story but with some genuine depth to it that’s just likeable, frankly. In this FNT interview, Bricks breaks down where his house roots came from, why he makes what he does (which is fluid dark hip-hop-influenced house that totally suites 2016, check out previous posts on our site), and so much more. Read all the details here.
How would you describe your style?
Brian: I’d describe it as a collection of all the styles that have influenced me through out my life. It’s combination of House, Miami Bass and Hip Hop. I add the groove of house to the raw 808 miami bass sound, then work in some vocal chopping and analog 80’s synths, and out comes up the Bricks sound.
Bass | Callie Reiff Teams Up With Ronaissance to Drop Skrillex Co-Signed Track, “Tin Machine”
Posted by Juicebox on June 30, 2016
We’ve been keeping track of Callie Reiff and her burgeoning music career pretty intently these last few months after she dazzled with an impressive b2b with Mija in Brooklyn and followed that up with a Mad Decent release. Now, the 16-year-old star is ready to become a disruptive force in bass music with her Skrillex co-signed track with Ronaissance, “Tin Machine.” Fusing together trap with elements of future bass for a style that can only be defined as “metallic trap,” Callie Reiff and Ronaissance have delivered a bass anthem that will surely melt some brains during this festival season.
Interviews | Hairitage Talk House, Dreams, & More In First-Ever Interview
Posted by VMan on June 21, 2016
Hairitage has been making boss moves lately. He’s landed tracks on Ultra Records, CR2 Records, XXL Audiophile, and many more. Yet, he’s somewhat unknown even though his house jams are on point. Hairitage sat down with us for his first interview where we go deep, read more below.
Who are your biggest house influences that have helped you find your style?
Aaron: Listening to Tchami, some newer Vato Gonzalez, Flume, Friend Within, and some older Chainsmokers tracks were probably my biggest influences for ideas and how I wanted to make this particular song sound.
Who would you love to work with?
Aaron: I’d love to work with anyone mentioned above, Illenium, NGHTMRE, Yntendo, Jauz, Tom Budin, or Loge21. Any of them would pretty much be life made!
Bass, House | Bricks Breaks New Ground With First Release “Get Down”
Posted by VMan on June 21, 2016
LA based Bricks is starting fresh.”Get Down” is his first release, showcasing a unique balance of electronic music elements that are new as well as familiar aesthetics layered. My favorite part of the experience is the light horn melody. Before you know it, the Diplo-style vocal sample takes over and the drop hits.
The style is different, kind of like a chill bass house with trap-like elements, hard to pinpoint exactly, but a unique feeling is delivered.
Rumor has it Bricks has many more tracks under his belt and will be release some soon. Keep your eye out for him as we get deeper in 2016.

Posted by Juicebox on May 26, 2016
The Geek x Vrv are back with the official music video for the name single off of their Origami EP, and we can’t stop watching it. The four-minute video is a stop-action type of film that follows a girl through a variety of different daily tasks that all of some sort of interesting twist to it. It’s the perfect counterpart to the track, which is a fusion of dance and breakbeat that perfectly shows off The Geek x Vrv’s signature style of production.
