Last month I featured a remix by SG Lewis of UK artist Patrice and I made sure to let him know to keep in touch. He hit me up with this original track, and I’m not going to lie, at first it took me a few plays to get into it, but after the 4th or 5th play it grew on me. From the 80’s pop influenced production to Patrice’s unique vocals, this track makes for a chill pop record filled with passion and soul. This is a must listen, happy Monday!
Exclusive, House | Marcus Jakes – Up To Me [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on November 27, 2013
Cardiff native, Marcus Jakes is new to the house scene, but he has already made an impression on big names in the UK with releases on Ministry of Sound and Black Butter Recordings. Markus Jakes brings the track together with funky rhythms, poignant synth stabs and an infectious vocal that gives the track a throwback feel to the formative days of house music. “Up To Me” will be out on December 16th with “Stop The Talking” via Jalapeño Records, so stream the track as often as you want here until December 16th. With 2013 almost in the rierview mirror, he looks to use this two track selection to help catapult him to greater heights in the new year.
Chill | Cherokee – Don’t Matter (T.H.I.E.F.S remix)
Posted by VMan on November 17, 2013
Wake up with T.H.I.E.F.S’ remix of Cherokee’s “Don’t Matter,” a chill progressive house record from overseas. T.H.I.E.F.S. is a 20 year old producer from the UK who has been making music for as long as he can remember. This track could potentially be off his EP as he’s currently working on a debut EP. If you’ve noticed by now, I’m all about those smooth guitar lines, soulful piano chords, and sexy vibes all around. This is another one to add to them classics. Must listen and must download!

Albums, Compilation | EDM: Every Day Matters Compilation
Posted by BP on November 9, 2013
The Every Day Matters Compilation is truly amazing. It is a 78 track compilation – that’s right, 78 – with all the proceeds going to charity. The charity being supported is SportRelief, which provides shelter to young people living on the streets and who are victims of domestic abuse in the UK. Worldwide they help with giving education, fresh water, and life-saving vaccines to people. Even though there is such a large volume of tracks, the quality is not sacrificed and it hits multiple genres. Many well known artists are on it, including Rameses B, Arkasia, Droptek, Felxprod, RoughMath, Feint, TwoThirds, Televisor, T-Mass, Varien, PhaseOne, SirensCeol, PrototypeRaptor, Veela, NCT, Biometrix, Bustre, Muzzy, Subformat, Insan3lik3, Dexcell, Karanda, Elliot Berger, Direct and many more! Some of my favorites tracks besides the ones posted below are the tracks by Neutralize, Soundnet, and Arkasia. But seriously, they are all really great tracks and although the compilation is $16 USD, (£9.99 GPD), you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. If you want to learn more, you can check out the promo video for the compilation here.

Here are some of the tracks on the compilation that I really enjoyed:
Hip-Hop, Rap | G4SHI – LAUGHING

iTunes: G4SHI – Laughing
Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter
Brooklyn rapper G4shi is back with a mad dope music video for his latest single “Laughing,” produced by UK producers Success Music, and directed by Definate Films. After shaking up the music industry by getting his record spun on NY’s Hot 97.1 by Peter Rosenberg, and appearing on MTV’s Rap Fix, G4shi understands his value as a talent, and is deciding to run solo for now. The MC is straight up laughing, with no fux given, going from the underrated underdog to King of the New York underground rap scene, and believe me, the man has come a long way. If you’re not familiar with G4shi, get familiar, the mixtape is on its way! This is a must listen and support the movement by copping “Laughing” on iTunes!
Bass, House | NVOY – Breathe feat. Jess Brinham
Posted by mimada on November 4, 2013
With the return of deep house music, sometimes we get carried away with the trend and forget what actually sounds good. Luckily the boys from the Oxford-based duo NVOY have us covered. Their style of “music for beautiful girls” can be attributed to house’s roots in the Detroit and Chicago, as well as UK garage. Each track is numbingly good, hitting that sweet spot like a piña colada on a summer’s day. For those of you that are nearing the end of your infatuation with Settle, look no further than NVOY. Check out their most recent releases below in addition to their available free downloads via Facebook.

This first track is their most recent and was featured on Skream & Benga’s BBC Radio 1 show. I lose it at the 2-minute mark.
This next track, “Is It Good,” is in fact, very good.
Mainstream Remix | Matt Cardle, Melanie C – Loving You (Ravi B. Remix)

Ravi B. is one of the most underrated producers in the game at the moment, constantly releasing strong remixes that are getting picked up left and right for radio, and I’m happy to announce that his remix of Matt Cardle & Melanie C “Loving You” was made an official remix by the UK camp, a first for the young producer from Rutgers University. Maximum respect to Ravi B. for getting approval from the winner of X-Factor UK Matt Cardle (who beat out One Direction that same season…) and Sporty Spice from the super group the Spice Girls! Must listen and support by copping his work on Beatport!
