Cover, Hip-Hop, Videos | Frank Ocean – Eyes Like Sky (Rendition) by SoMo
Posted by J_Salzer on March 10, 2013
Every Sunday night, I am hit with the blues. My weekend is coming to a close, normal life resumes tomorrow, and I must continue the mundane task that is school. But alas, I have a saving grace. Every Sunday in recent memory, SoMo has released a new rendition. SoMo Sunday has become a staple of my weekend, and I’ve even found myself looking forward to Sunday night…a little bit. This week, SoMo takes on a Frank Ocean track, which is an extremely daunting task. Frank Ocean is an incredibly talented singer, but also an incredibly talented story teller. He sings with emotion and passion, much like SoMo. I logged on to Twitter a few minutes ago, and saw that SoMo had posted the video 23 seconds ago, after clicking on it, I noticed that the YouTube comments were already filled with women swooning over this week’s SoMo Sunday. I am not afraid to admit that I’ve lost more than one woman to the voice of Mr. SoMo. Maybe next week he will take on a Mr. Steal Yo Girl song?
Moombahton | La’Reda – Guns Drawn [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by Sev on March 1, 2013
La’Reda is back at again with another exclusive for you guys. These guys have just been cranking out track after track for their fans and they’re all amazing! This track is probably one of my favorites from them, because of the different genres and styles they incorporated into this one track all work so well. They took their heavy trance and electro background and fuzed them into this crushing Moombahton track. The melodies and chord progressions are outstanding alongside the 110BPm tempo and four-to-the-floor kick, which becomes a moombah kick-snare later on changing the whole feel of the track and giving it more swing. These guys have big things in store later on this year so be sure to keep an eye out for them. Grab your free download from below, because this is a must have for everyones weekend and upcoming Spring Break.
Electro | The Presets – Fail Epic (Owl Vision Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 17, 2013
Owl Vision delivers another hot Electro remix. It is cool to see how the track progresses into heavier Electro as it goes on. The long smooth intro is a nice touch for making good use of the vocals. Too bad this wasn’t out on friday because it would have been my track of the weekend.
Electro-House | Two Door Cinema Club – Next Year (Shields Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 7, 2013
Sometimes it is the poppy tracks that really hit the spot. Shields was asked by Two Door Cinema Club to remix this track from their recent album “Beacon.” Two Door Cinema Club is an over-remixed group, which is why it was so surprising that i actually enjoyed this remix. Sweet track to add to the weekend playlist.

Events | Ultra Music Festival Phase 2 Lineup Announced
Posted by Middy on January 28, 2013
In case you missed it over the weekend, after announcing the first phase, Ultra announced the phase 2 lineup of the talent laden festival, adding 100s of names to its ridiculous bill. So imagine just about every Dj ever minus Daft Punk and add Snoop Dogg (Lion?). That is what Ultra is looking like this year with 100s of artists lined up over 7 stages over 2 weekends with Winter Music Conference packed in the middle. There is something for everybody here at Ultra. I could start listing them off, but it is pointless because everybody is there, so just check it out below to see the daily schedule for each stage and start the UMF countdown with 46 days left until Friday weekend one. Phase 3 will come shortly with Toolroom Knights and John Digweed’s Bedrock Records, so house fans be on the lookout for that.

RECAP VIDEOS: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3
Being from Colorado I went into SnowGlobe Music Festival in South Lake Tahoe, CA a bit cocky thinking it would be impossible for me to get cold but the first day proved me wrong. Despite being bundled up in huge down jackets, the entire crowd was amped and ready to rage. We got a late start to the first day and walked-in mid set with the crowd in full force already with Minnesota throwing down. With constant top-notch releases from Minnesota all year I was really excited to see him live and he didn’t disappoint. Next up was the first night headliner, Wiz Khalifa. I was following Wiz’s Tweet’s and Instagram’s and he was not ready for the cold but he didn’t let it hold him back. The crowd exploded as he opened with Black and Yellow and he kept the energy the entire time playing all his big hits. The stage set-up was incredible and watching Wiz live surrounded by massive pine trees and snow coming down was surreal. Wiz ended earlier than the schedule indicated and we rushed to the shuttles because we had to make it back for the after party. The after party that night was what I was most excited for because Seven Lions was the headliner. Kill Paris was slotted to play before Seven Lions but unfortunatly he got stuck in Indiana and wasn’t able to make it. The set up in the hotel was one of the most awkward setups I’ve ever seen, it felt like high school prom gone EDM but that wasn’t going to hold us back. Seven Lions was without a doubt the best performance of the night and he will soon be at all major festivals. One of my favorite songs ever is his Florence and the Machine – Cosmic Love Remix and he dropped a great version of it and I guarantee anyone who didn’t know who he was before the show was googling him immediately after. He exceeded my expectations and make sure to add him to your “MUST SEE” list.
