Electro-House, Trance | Armin van Buuren ft. Cindy Alma – Beautiful Life (Protoculture & Mikkas Remixes)
Posted by Middy on September 8, 2013
Armin van Buuren’s second single from his fifth artist album “Intense”, “Beautiful Life” just got a small, but potent remix package from Protoculture and Mikkas. The Mikkas remix will be more popular with a wider audience, but the Protoculture remix brings out the best trance qualities this track has to offer, and then makes it even bigger. Mikkas adds his glitchy, electro-dub that has become quite popular on remixes like “Rewind”, while Protoculture adds a little more uplifting and goes for broke with as big a melody as you can get. Both remixes are very different and will appeal to different fans, but each are very, very good.

Electro, House | Ghost Hunna – Talkin’ That
Posted by admin on August 22, 2013
A fresh face to the scene, Ghost Hunna, is two songs deep and already making quite the imprint on the blogosphere. With album art and music moniker that scream hip-hop, Ghost Hunna might surprise you with his electronic-house musical stylings. Hunna’s first release about a month ago was titled “Smellin’ Like I’m Rich” and was just about as ‘house’ as one can get.
“Talkin’ That”, on the other hand, is bridging the ever-closing gap between hip-hop and electronic music. The track features some beautifully chopped vocals and an airy, ambient sound similar to what I imagine The Weeknd would sound like if he were to ever record something semi-uplifting/cheerful/joyous.
Ghost Hunna is on to something big here and this is truly just the beginning. Be sure to check out the song and leave your feedback below, as I’m sure there will be plenty more to come.

Posted by CHAZZZ on August 21, 2013
Bass Physics continues their journey to the top constantly releasing unique tracks and playing some huge shows including Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks and WelcomeFest (CU Boulder) with Krewella. Bass Physics’ newest release, Global Love, is a funky, uplifting tune that’s perfect for those hot summer nights. Their tracks just keep getting better and better and it’s only a matter of time until these guys are headlining big shows. Kick back, turn up the speakers and enjoy the last few weeks of this scorching weather with a fresh journey through electric soul-step made specially for the Denver duo’s recent Red Rocks debut.
Alternative | Kings of Leon – Wait For Me
Posted by VMan on August 7, 2013
I’m going to bring you back to ’08- ’09 with these guys, but Kings of Leon just dropped an uplifting track off their upcoming album Mechanical Bull, and it’s FNT worthy. “Wait For Me” has the same kind of sound that made these guys big, with tracks like “Use Somebody” and I’m glad they’re back at it. Stream it off their SoundCloud, purchase it on iTunes and if you’re an EDM producer, let’s hear some remixes!

Electronic, Trap | Cosmo’s Midnight – The Dofflin
Posted by BP on August 6, 2013
Caught this one a few days late, but it’s funky enough that it still deserves some recognition! This is some really sexy trap for your Tuesday. It’s smooth, uplifting, and full of pleasing synth work. The song flows really well with the samples used, and the whole takes the listener on a journey in their mind. It’s also free to download!
House | Fehrplay – Monte / Talk To Me
Posted by J-Tiffy on July 31, 2013
As someone I know put it so very well earlier today, Fehrplay is the man. I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of this two song EP since Middy posted previews of both songs a couple of weeks ago. Both tracks are awesome and both are born from Fehrplay’s dark side. His better known tracks are of the shiny and uplifting nature, while these two are much more sinister. “Monte” makes me think of Deadmau5’s “Lack Of A Better Name”; with breaks that are pretty and inviting, contrasted by dark main sections that have sneaky synths plucking along with them. “Talk To Me” houses a similar dark energy, with a nice emotional section cradled in the middle. It has more of a soft feel to it whereas “Monte” is a bit edgy. Jump on both of these tracks and look into Fehrplay, just do it, his music is wicked, and his mixes are off the chain.

Trance | Andy Duguid & Audrey Gallagher – In This Moment
Posted by Middy on July 24, 2013
While other labels like Armada and Anjunabeats have evolved and expanded their sounds to include the many variations of trance, Black Hole Recordings has been one of the few label strongholds for the traditional trance sound. The latest offering from the label comes from Scotsman Andy Duguid, who tabs noted trance vocalist Audrey Gallagher to provide an etheral top line for this track. The BPM is not going to crush you into a wall like a John O’Callahan track, but the uplifting qualities are more than present with fast moving key play, a euphoric melody and matching vocals. Yes there is the opening cymbal from “Levels” in there, so don’t despair, but rather just listen to the whole track and you will see why.
