Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Lucki Eck$ – Alternative Trap (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 26, 2013
A little while ago I posted Lucki Eck$’ video, Everything Out$ide, a song that really put Lucki on a lot of people’s radars, but today, we receive his debut mixtape and it’s a must download. With a flow comparable to Joey Bada$$, Lucki Eck$ definitely has the makings of a star. Peep the tape below and make sure to download it as well. Be on the lookout for this kid down the line, you’ll be hearing a lot more of him.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Rockwell Knuckles – In For The Kill
Posted by VMan on July 23, 2013
Glad I checked up on Rockwell Knuckles today, I’ve been meaning to share his music with you guys. I believe it’s been since ’09 that Rockwell has been featured on FNT with his dope track “Government Name,” and today we change that. The St Louis MC Rockwell Knuckles dropped a new track/video for his record “In For The Kill,” teaming up with Converse A/V to put this production together. Personally, it’s not my favorite track by the man, it’s not as upbeat as his regular work, though he still remains one of my favorite rappers, and I’m always excited to hear new records from him. Enjoy!
Throwback from Rockwell, but a must listen nonetheless, probably one of his freshest tracks.

Progressive House | Maarcos – Blaze (Dirty South Edit)
Posted by Middy on July 15, 2013
It is always tricky when you see an artist who “edits” a track, like you see here. It could be something significant like what happened to “In My Mind”, which was close to a remix by Axwell, or something as simple as a better mixdown or a small tweak in one part. We will probably never know however. In this track Dirty South edits Maarcos’ “Blaze”, who is fresh from a split with Those Usual Suspects and has decided to stake it out alone. The track brings us back to the bigger songs we heard a few years ago, crafting a very club-friendly sound with churning chords, a punchy bass line and a soothing interlude. “Blaze” has already seen support from the cream of the crop top DJs like Axwell, Seb, Hardwell and Alesso, so grab it today.

Hip-Hop | Jay-Z – Dead Presidents 3
Posted by W8 on July 8, 2013
Jay-Z’s twitter spree came bearing fruit today courtesy of a one @JordanJClemons. The tweet read ”is there a finished version of Dead Presidents 3?”, and among the plethora of gifted replies, Hov said to this one: ”Just or Guru has it I give them Twitter permission to GO”. Hours later Guru resurrects the nearly 5 year old DP3 in full. A gorgeous chain reaction that seeded from the mind of @JordanJClemons. Cool things.
Progressive House | First State ft. Fenja – Battle Of Hearts
Posted by Mel on July 8, 2013
Ever since I first heard a preview of this last month, I have been eagerly awaiting today’s date. First State makes some incredible progressive tracks and this is no different. I just love everything about this song. There is no further description needed. Take a listen, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Electro | B.Dolla – Headhunter
Posted by admin on July 8, 2013
B.Dolla has always been a favorite in my books because of his “do-what-I-like” attitude. Herbie Hancock made a prolific impact on Dolla’s career and who he his musically, so he decided to take some of that passion and re-work it in to his music. Never mind that the young EDM fans of today probably don’t know the 1960s-age jazz pianist, Dolla thought, I’ll do what I want to do.
“Headhunter” is probably the exact opposite of what you’d expect out of an original track sampling Herbie Hancock. Hard hitting and trap infused, B.Dolla’s newest offering is most definitely one to be bumped at summer gatherings and a song that I can see thousands of fans wildin’ out to at a festival or two.
Last, slightly off-topic, but the album art for “Headhunter” is pretty stunning. That’s a great element to have going for you when submitting music. The art is the first thing bloggers see, and when it’s done professionally I’ll assume the music is just as professional!
Drum & Bass | Cayetano Ft. Valia – Feel (Teddy Killerz Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 4, 2013
Teddy Killerz are usually known for their down right nasty Drum & Bass, but today gave away this freebie that hits a little softer than we are use to. This remix is sexy, little bit of Reggae Dub thrown in with some downtempo, mmm. Don’t see why Teddy Killerz can’t make this a reoccurring style of theirs.
