House | Dante Klein – Ertesuppe (Original Mix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 10, 2014
Premiered by Pete Tong, Dante Klein’s “Etersuppe” translated literally as “pea soup” is set to release on Spinnin’ Deep in just a matter of a few days. It’s been teased by just about every important tastemaker in the deep house space, and deservedly so. “Etersuppe” is a departure from the future house sounds we’ve heard of late, combining laid back synths and subtle sounds that makes this original work a pleasure to listen to. Pick up Dante Klein’s “Etersuppe” on December 15th via Spinnin’ Deep.
Featured, Interviews | FNT Exclusive: Andrew Bayer Talks MSG, New Music & More
Posted by Middy on October 17, 2014
Many artists go dark after an album, or rely on singles and remixes from it to keep the buzz alive. Not Andrew Bayer. He has been hard at work releasing more club oriented tracks like “Once Lydian“, “Bullet Catch” and the “England” EP. With his musical training, his ability to write and produce is evident with each individual song and as a collaborator with Above & Beyond.
The last time we spoke to Andrew Bayer it was around the time of the release of his sophomore artist album “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave“. Now one and half years later, one the eve on the biggest show of his career, joining Above & Beyond for ABGT100 at Madison Square Garden, we had the chance to chat with the DC based producer about his feelings on the show, how life has been over the past year and a half and what he has coming up. Read on for the interview.

Progressive House | Pierce Fulton – Kuaga / Noon Gun
Posted by Middy on September 3, 2014
Out now, Pierce Fulton has released two more originals for your auditory pleasure. “Kuaga” we already previewed for you guys with its chants similar to those in Above & Beyond’s “Prelude”. “Kuaga” could be a legitimate hit for Pierce as it is already getting support from some top level guys and being played at the end of summer festivals by names like Dada Life. “Noon Gun” is in the same mold of a tune like “Mr Mime” with its rolling bass line and quick synth work, so do not sleep on this one.

Abstract Hip-Hop | Flying Lotus – Never Catch Me (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)
Posted by dshaq on September 3, 2014
Woah. Not expecting that. It has been a minute since Kendrick has graced our ears with new music, and today’s release is something a little different. Having FlyLo on the production is something I find very fitting for the two, who both have unique sounds that clearly work pretty well together on this track. I believe there is a new album in the works and set to be coming out pretty soon. Look for that and more releases to come and enjoy the track below.
Electronic, Exclusive, Featured | Premiere: Lincoln Jesser – Untold
Posted by Middy on August 26, 2014
You may not be totally familiar with the name Lincoln Jesser, but that is probably going to change soon and his past work is a good indication of that. He previously toured the world as the guitarist of YUNA. Having split off to form his own project a year ago, Lincoln Jesser is finally ready to unveil his final, completed work to the world in the form of an artist album “Modern Color” on September 23rd.
As the singer, songwriter and producer on the album, Lincoln Jesser gives his work an authentic feel in a sound that is by default very manufactured. With its heavy emphasis on synths and mellow, even vocals, Lincoln Jesser has given us just the right teaser for what should be a cracker of an album.
If you pre-order the album, you will get an instant download of “Untold”, which you can only stream right here, right now. Also check him out at any of the dates below that is most convenient. Pre-order the album on iTunes now.
