Electro-House, Exclusive, Featured | Simon Shout – SLASH (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by Middy on January 11, 2013
A little quiet over the past few months, German producer / Dj Simon Shout has been busy working in the lab on an EP of original tracks and has allowed us to exclusively unveil the first of his recent works to the public. As a follow up to his previous single we had here “Optimus“, Simon Shout provides us with a peak time electro house track with jarring drop of a thumping bass line, growling electro chords and a big room interlude with layers drawing on sounds from Wolfgang Gartner and other electro heavyweights. We are excited to see what he has in store with his new EP and the rest of 2013 because if “Slash” is any indication, we should be in for a treat.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Gaines ft. Chance The Rapper – We Are [Music Video] [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by LoffyG on January 9, 2013
Minnesota representative, Gaines, teamed up with Chicago native, Chance The Rapper, to deliver us the first single off his Night Crawler: Reloaded mixtape. It was shot and edited by Kevin Ceccon of NeoFilmMovement, who i’ve worked with on most of my “On The Spot” interviews. I’ve got to say this video was beautifully done and an amazing job on his part. A lot of videographers in this game today just shoot videos quickly with no thought process or composition. To top it off they do minimal editing and release the next day, but not this guy. This video has that cinematic look that really grabs the viewers attention. Aside from the video, this song is quality, sampling “We Are The People” by Empire Of The Sun, they speak of life’s realities and overcoming the challenges along the way. If you dig this track be sure to check out the full mixtape below and follow these guys on Twitter!
Moombahton | Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe (:Dface Remix)[FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Sev on May 21, 2012
I have been wanting to release an exclusive track from :Dface ever since I started getting into his Moombahcore remixes a while back. Well I finally got it all worked out and we are left with this unexpected, yet mindblowing Dirty Dutch transitioning to Moombahton remix of the popular, Call Me Maybe. This track won me over after the first play. :Dface uses the vocals superbly by accompanying them with his melody, then building up to the dope Afrojack styled drop which surprised me coming from him. It isn’t over there, because the second drop is even better. He incorporates his signature Moombahton style into the end by slowing down the second drop and slamming us with those Moombah flavored drums mixed with the dutch synths.
Electro-House | Afrojack – Fatility
Posted by Sev on March 13, 2012
Afrojack back at it again with yet another big release this week entitled Fatility. Still keeping the standards high after his previous release with Shermanology, this track brings in that same Dirty Dutch style we were so used to hearing from him in his early days. We saw little glimpses of this banger on live stream a few weeks ago and since then the fans have been dying for its release. Through the buildup we can progressively hear those signature Afrojack sounds we are so accustomed to hearing, while slowly building up to that sexy, high pitched dirty dutch drop. Ill leave you guys with some words from the wise, “If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much.” -Middy.
