Progressive House | Monsta – Messiah (Dirty South Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 28, 2013
Having been previewed a few weeks ago, Dirty South releases his remix for UK trio Monsta‘s single “Messiah”. The mighty Australian, Dirty South is still riding high in 2013 with the release of his debut artist album “Speed of Life” and looks to continue that dominance with this remix. While the previously released Alvin Risk remix and the upcoming Feed Me remix will be more favorable for more bass heavy palates, Dirty South brings his uplifting style to the track, giving it a whole sound.
Dirty South brings us back with this remix, recalling his sound found in the 2008-2010 with tracks like his remixes of “Sorry” and “Sweet Disposition” and his single “Phazing“. The addictive, piano driven melody meshes perfectly with the soulful vocals, as Dirty South shows us once again that he one of premier producers around.

Dubstep | R Rated #68 (Ft. Exclusive From Masq)
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2013
Sev and I have a real treat for our fans of R Rated this week. Filthy producer, Masq, has been kind enough to provide FNT with an epic Neuro-hop bootleg for the fans.
Amon Tobin is a legend throughout the music community, having lead to the creation of some of the most epic bass tunes. When I saw that Masq took on “Lost & Found” from Amon Tobin’s most recent album “Isam” I was instantly excited. That excitement was soon satisfied with one of the sickest remixes I have ever heard of Amon Tobin. Masq is one of the most underrated producers I have laid my ears upon, keep an eye out for him in the future.

Progressive House | Will K, Marcus Santoro & Daniel Gregorio – Open Your Eyes (feat. Mitch Thompson)
Posted by Mel on April 22, 2013
Seventeen year old Marcus Santoro, along with fellow Australians Will K and Daniel Gregorio have just released their debut single on Neon Records. “Open Your Eyes”, like many of Santoro’s previous tracks, is a festival ready big room tune. The sing-along friendly vocals of Mitch Thompson are supplemented perfectly by uplifting melodies that lead up to a high energy, climactic drop. I had a bagel this morning and while saying bagels everywhere are not as good as this song might be a stretch, I will say listening to this song has given me more sexual pleasure than any bagel ever has. Grab the song on Beatport and be sure to go out and live your life to the fullest because one day, when you least expect it, this song will be there for you to slowly caress your face while you sleep.

Electro, Progressive House | Lift Off #011
Posted by Mel on April 20, 2013
You know how I said Lift Off would be a weekly thing on the last edition which was a month ago? Yeah I was kidding about that. A couple of things have gone down since the last edition. One being I saw two attractive girls holding hands which was pretty cool, the other being we have decided to end Lift Off. As well as us finding this series no longer necessary, we were also not too happy with the quality of tracks that were going up. I know you’re on the edge of tears regarding the end of this series and for that I don’t apologize because nothing is going to really change. The songs that would normally appear on Lift Off will still be posted, just not on Lift Off and when they actually come out. That’s better isn’t it? There has been a bit of a drought of good, free house music for the past couple of weeks so this should satisfy you for at least a day or so and if not you can at least have solace in the fact that you don’t drive a van.
We start things off with dBerrie who puts his own upbeat spin on Kaskade’s classic “Angel On My Shoulder”.
I’m not a huge fan of Bruno Mars. His songs are generally really sappy and sad I just can’t handle it. Luckily though, NYC based duo Filtercrush has made his “When I Was Your Man” into something worth listening to.
Included in Tjernberg’s two track EP, “Watch Then World End” is a fun and catchy song that could easily be on the radio. It can also be enjoyed while sitting on a public bench and crying.
Progressive House | Henrix – Rock This Dream EP
Posted by Middy on April 9, 2013
Henrix has been nearly unstoppable lately proving himself as a name to watch in 2013, with his Size Records release “Hit It” with fellow Miami producers Digital Lab and GTA still tearing up sets across the globe and leaving its mark as one of the biggest tracks of the year thus far. The EP sandwiches 2 Henrix’s signature driving tracks around another big room room collab with Swedish wunderkid Jakob Liedholm.
“Rock This Dream” has been sitting near the top of the DMC Buzzchart for quite some time now as Laidback Luke reaps the benefits of signing this track that was deemed “not EDM enough” by some labels. The opening vocals from Roland Clark set the tone for a powerful, hard hitting percussive drop that even Laidback Luke is dreaming about. The second collab between Henrix & Jakob Liedholm “Losing My Mind“, takes Jakob Liedholms seemingly inexhaustible ability to create uplifting melodies and pairs it with Henrix’s melodic tendencies, all accentuated by Giuseppe Viola‘s outstanding vocal. “Viral” may get the least buzz on the EP at the end of the day, but do not sleep on this driving track that uses a cheeky sample of “Kashmir” from Led Zeppelin.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Lift Off #010
Posted by Mel on March 23, 2013
Many things are changing now that spring is upon us. Girls are going to start wearing more revealing clothing, the weather is going to transition from cold to slightly less cold (I live in Canada), and Lift Off is no longer monthly. From now on, Lift Off will go up weekly on Saturdays, primarily because we didn’t like how the tracks we posted would end up being weeks old. This way, every track that goes up will be no older than a week. It will also mean that there won’t be as many songs on each edition as there were previously, though we feel this is an acceptable sacrifice for more up to date tracks. We start things off above with Reuben Keeney’s “Good times together” which is carried by a Kaskade like piano and soft vocals before hitting a progressive drop.

Candyland released an EP in honor of their Miami debut at WMC. My favorite track of the EP is their festival remix of Timeflies’ “Nothing At All”.
The Plastic People remix of the Imagine Dragons “It’s Time” was my favorite song for quite a while. Markus Cole does a magnificent job of giving the song a progressive refresh that brought the indie-rock song back to life.
No uplifting chords or melodies to be found here, Kevin Drew’s latest “Halogen” is just a massive big room track.
Progressive House | Spektrem – Enter The Spektrem
Posted by Middy on March 6, 2013
Maryland duo, Spektrem put their name on our radar last year with releases like “In a Dream”, “Sugar” and “Dirtybuzz“. Right from the beginning they showed the ability to stand out with very crisp productions and outstanding melodies. They have played already played gigs with the likes of Krewella and Savoy and played at Dayglow (who the hell calls it Life In Color?) and are only getting ready for bigger things this year including the Project Miami show on the 15th during WMC.
The opener “Loretta” is a high energy track that gets to it right from the get go with a teasing big room build and a punchy, driving bass line and low end. “Shine” was previewed a few weeks back and it is the uplifting, big room track you come to expect from them like “Sugar” and “In A Dream” with an outstanding melody and subtle, growling riffs. It has been over a year since the original release of “In A Dream”, so they decided to re-mix the original and make it more professional sounding, showing their technical progress as a group. They are big fans of the “We’re Coming Back” vocal so they decided to make the track their own using big room synths with a small smattering of stutters and an interesting interlude with an alternating bass line. Grab the 4 track EP for free below for a simple Facebook like, you won’t regret the decision.
