Electro-House, Exclusive, Mix, Progressive House | FNT Presents: Showtek Essentials Volume 8
Posted by Middy on October 18, 2013
It’s Friday, its the weekend, that means it is time to cut loose. Who better than to get loose with than the outrageous brothers Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen, better known to you all as Showtek. Techno, turned hardstyle turn electro house behemoths, the duo’s impact on dance music cannot be understated. While Maarten Vorwerk helped introduce the hardstyle kick to mainstream dance music with “Epic”, Showtek made it popular with their own brand of hardstyle infused electro house. We are proud to present the 8th episode of their weekly mix series “Showtek Essentials” that is not just Showtek music, but also what they have been playing out and the music they really love at the moment. It in includes everything from Disclosure to an exclusive Showtek club of “Countdown” from Hardwell & MAJK. Full tracklist after the jump and an interview coming soon with the brothers.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Anna Kendrick – Cups (Marc Goone Remix)
Posted by admin on September 22, 2013
Once upon a time I thought to myself, “if I hear one more rendition of Anna Kendrick’s ‘Cups’, I’m going to shove pencils six inches in to my ears.” Yet, here we are, with a remix to the Pitch Perfect anthem that I just cannot seem to get enough of. This song lacks a bass line, models, bottles and many other quintessential rapper items, however, it sheds light on just how versatile of an artist Goone can be.
There will be a pretty constant stream of remixes from the Yung man these next couple weeks, so keep your ears open and enjoy!
