Hip-Hop, Rap | GoldLink – The Heart

Goldlink-TheHeart

GoldLink is really pressing his luck with his most recent release entitled, “The Heart”. Anyone with a halfway decent taste in music knows that Kendrick Lamar absolutely annihilated this beat on his mixtape Overly Dedicated a few years back. That being said, GoldLink absolutely held his own, and spit some introspective bars that give us a much better idea of the street life and family struggles that he was going through.

Although “The Heart” will not be featured on GoldLink’s upcoming project The God Complex it will surely keep us on our knees begging for more. Enjoy.

Electronic, Exclusive, Featured | FNT Exclusive: Illenium – For Truth

Posted by on January 7, 2014

illenium - risen EP
We introduced you to Illenium through his huge melodic dubstep single “Drop Our Hearts” and now are proud to present the next single to come from his upcoming EP “Risen”, “For Truth”. Illenium totally switches his sound on “For Truth”, creating something similar to the glitchy, orchestral style found with Glitch Mob, but with his own unique touch and character. He does not want to get pigeonholed into one type of music or one genre and the EP exemplifies that ideal. “For Truth” is something you will be playing a lot as it balances aggressive electro with cinematic melodies into one glitchy, well crafted tune. Look for “Risen” dropping on January 14th and keep up to date with everything the Colorado producer is doing on his socials below.

Progressive House | Calvin Harris feat. Example – We’ll Be Coming Back (Lush & Simon Bootleg)

Posted by on December 24, 2013

artworks-000066177875-zjgmrx-original‘Tis the season for giving, so that means producers world around are giving away free remixes and originals as a sign of their appreciation of all of the support they have received over the year. Another artist to add a freebee to the bunch is Lush & Simon, who have had a breakout year, with their single “Adrenaline” on Revealed becoming one of the most played tracks in the later months of the year, and “City Of Lights“, quickly moving to join “Adrenaline” in that category. Calvin Harris tracks have seen their fair share of remixes, but none with the Lush & Simon brand of energetic progressive house that sets this one apart. Also check out the preview for their upcoming single “Drag Me To The Ground”, coming January 6th son Zouk Recordings.

Progressive House | Tiësto – Red Lights

We are seeing a trend here with dance music stars. Now that the biggest and most important music market in the world has bought in to dance music, DJs want a piece of the very lucrative pop pie. This is convenient because pop music is going in the dance direction, notably since the inroads made by Guetta with his tracks in the late 2000s, but it also requires DJs to meet the pop scene half way.

Hits like “Alive”, “Clarity” and “Get Lucky” didn’t sound engineered for radio, but ended up there anyway, but recently tracks like Afrojack’s “The Spark”, Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels Like”, Ferry Corsten’s “Many Ways” and now “Red Lights” all demonstrate the move to try and appeal to much wider audience. DJs no longer want to be the anonymous guy in the corner spinning tracks, they want to be brands, superstars and with commercial, crossover appeal coming easier every day, you can expect that to become more and more the norm.

The song is incredibly catchy and destined for radio; undoubtably its original purpose. It is the first of three singles from Tiësto’s upcoming album signed to Universal set for release next year. It will be his first album since “Kaleidoscope” back in 2010, so expect something very different. You can get a sneak peak at the process behind it including his producers Matt Nash & Dave Silcox in the studio, and how tracks were chosen on the fifth episode of In The Booth.

Electronic, House, Techno | George FitzGerald – Magnetic

It’s a commonly held belief among the underground that Berlin is the ultimate vanguard when it comes to electronic music. “The shit coming out of Germany these days is way more innovative and experimental and compelling than anything in the US, man! Have you even been to Berghain?”

But when you spend 2013 listening to Disclosure, and then you’re suddenly confronted by a track like “Magnetic,” it becomes increasingly difficult to discount the UK as one of the biggest breeding grounds for #FutureGarageSpacetronica talent. With his latest, George FitzGerald (recently named one of the top 50 DJs in the world by none less than Resident Advisor) delivers a deliciously spacey listening experience that seems tailor made for late nights and early mornings alike. Dark, deep synths drive the melody, while eerie vocals and a pounding bassline add another heady layer to the vibe. Stream below and head to Beatport for the DL.

And if you’re in the US (you east coast dogs), be sure to catch this rising star’s upcoming live dates; he’ll be at the legendary Output in Brooklyn tomorrow and the equally legendary U Street Music Hall in DC on Friday. Get it while it’s hot — he’s swinging back to Switzerland and the UK after these two brief but epic US stops. More details can be found here.
