DJ-Set, Exclusive, Progressive House | EDX – No Xcuses 144 (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by Middy on December 3, 2013
The flag bearer for Swiss house, EDX has become synonymous with a soothing, progressive sound that is such a refresher when songs are simply louder and louder these days. He has had a very good year, garnering remixes for the likes of Calvin Harris and Avicii, while adding several strong originals and collaborations to his already stellar back catalog.
His weekly radio show, “No Xcuses” provides an outlet for his own original releases, while also supporting his favorite tunes from others at the moment. This episode has a strong Swiss flavor, drawing not only on his own tracks, but others from Nora en Pure, Leventina, and Dave202. He matches that with the best house tracks of the moment from the likes of Hardwell, Dirty South and Sick Individuals.
Generally in the radio shows of big name DJs there are a few unreleased tracks, but it is rare to see the percentage in this mix. You will find not just one, two or even three world premiers, there are 4, yes 4 WORLD PREMIERS in this radio show. So buckle up and get ready to hear some brand new music from EDX and his friends. Tracklist after the jump.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Elite – Awaken [Mixtape]
Posted by Grubeats on November 18, 2011
A couple months back when I introduced Elite to the FNT family, I explained his journey as producer and rapper along with his relationship with other artists such as J. Cole and Voli. Since then, Elite has released a few more singles in preparation for his first project as a solo hip-hop artist, Awaken, which he dropped just a week ago. It’s not fair to say his progression is overly evident because quite honestly the first time I heard him I was blown away. Everything from his voice, to the lyrics, to the hooks, to the production, to the delivery has always been on point. Awaken is a mixtape you ABSOLUTELY DON’T WANT TO SLEEP ON. Although it’s rooted with hip-hop, it almost has an alternative sound to it, similar to something OnCue may put together. Speaking of which, I’d love to hear a collab from these two.
I’ve highlighted a few cuts below if you’re looking for appetizers, but I highly suggest just skipping to the main entré and downloading the tape in full. #DreamVille
