House | LVNDSCAPE & Joel Baker Deliver Uplifting, Melodic Anthem, “Speeches”
Posted by Tay on December 1, 2015
Pan flute synths and bongo-like drums are the ultimate trademarks of tropical house, and, after a while, those sounds can become repetitive. Luckily for us, mysterious producer, LVNDSCAPE, is revamping those sounds through his music, all of which comes to a culmination in his latest track “Speeches,” featuring the captivating vocals of Joel Baker. With light synths backing Joel’s raspy vocals, LVNDSCAPE sets the stage for a beautiful breakdown of upbeat progressions and a continuously catchy vocal melody. This track further solidify’s LVNDSCAPE’s position as one to watch out for in the house realm. Buy or stream “Speeches” here!

I would have posted this on Sunday when it was released but I was too busy playing this on repeat over and over again. While Jeremy Zucker is new to FNT Quinn XCII is no stranger. Quinn’s EP Change of Scenery has been a personal favorite and the way in which he blended pop, tropical house and hip hop together was absolutely perfect. In the latest offering from Zucker, he self produces and pens an extremely catchy tune that you’ll have on repeat for days to come.
House | Felix Jaehn Tabs Mr. Belt & Wezol, Mike Mago, and Chris Meid For “Book of Love” Remix EP
Posted by Tay on November 6, 2015
One of the most refreshing things about dance music is the fact that artists are always pushing the envelope creatively by remixing other artists’ tracks. This typically breeds healthy competition between artists within a genre, as two talented producers are able to push each other to deliver a better product. At 21 years old, Felix Jaehn has already accomplished what many artists hope to achieve in their entire careers, as his remix of “Cheerleader” last year soared to the top of the charts in over 50 countries, and solidified him as an elite talent in dance music. His most recent output, “Book of Love,” is nearing a million plays on its own, and Jaehn has tabbed Mr. Belt & Wezol, Mike Mago, and Chris Meid for a stunning remix pack that features three unique takes on the tropical house gem. In particular, Mr. Belt & Wezol gives “Book of Love” an extra boost of energy, so check out the remix above, and the rest of the remix pack below the jump.

Earlier this summer, Jaehn explored the deeper regions of house with his single, “Book of Love,” and now, it’s got an official music video that follows Jaehn as he makes his way through a creepy neon carnival.
