RnB | Inc. – 5 Days
Posted by W8 on November 14, 2012
An illusive mystique surrounds the LA-based brothers known as Inc. Andrew and Daniel Aged both carry an ample wealth of experience having spent several years playing, recording and touring with names such as 50 Cent, Elton John, and Pharrell Williams among others. Gaining only what I can imagine to be a superb vault of internal perspective, they started recording and mixing their forthcoming album No World in the winter of 2011, and is set to debut February 19th 2013 on 4AD. After first hearing 5 Days I immediately thought back to this. Fine wine measured in time.
Indie | W8’s Indie Pack #5

“Our motto used to be hakuna matata, now its like fuck bitches get money.” Ah, yes, remember when we didn’t have to remember the good times? It’s at moments such as that realization when indie has the most relevance to my playlist, and every now and again my collection revamps itself with a new post like we have here. This pack of tunes differentiates a bit from previous ones but still that overall essence is there. If I could paint a visual to this particular collection it would be with a few friends driving through the desert in a boat-like 1970’s Cadillac convertible.
Now, with a variety of artists present I’ll save you from individual descriptions and let you get right to it, so without further ado let the plays begin and don’t forget to continue after the jump.

Contests, Cover | Zach Heckendorf – Forgot About Dre
Posted by CHAZZZ on October 29, 2012
Heckendorf really isn’t a hard name to remember and you’re about to start hearing it a lot. Fresh out of the best state in America (Colorado), singer-songwriter Zach Heckendorf is on the rise and gaining a ton of attention across the nation. As a Colorado native myself, I’ve been lucky enough to follow Zach almost from the start. I know he can rock any tune he tackles, so when I heard he covered a Dr. Dre song I couldn’t wait to listen. As you can see in the video above, Zach brings a new, rumbling energy to “Forgot About Dre,” and hearing him rap at a breakneck speed over his trademark guitar riffs is completely awesome.
If you too become addicted to Zach’s unique sound after watching this video, you can check out more of his music HERE. This guy is insanely talented and such a dynamic singer, I know it won’t be long until he’s at the top.
Now, listen up Colorado fans – Zach hooked FNT up with a huge giveaway for his upcoming show in Denver at the Ogden Theater on November 23rd. The package includes: A pair of tickets, 2 signed CDs (hold on to those!), and a meet and greet with Zach himself. All you have to do is CLICK HERE and SHARE and LIKE the picture. The winner will be announced Friday, November 2nd.

Dubstep, Mashups | DOSVEC – MIND LIES
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 18, 2012
DOSVEC had one of the biggest DubStep Mashups last year Beast Break and his follow up “Mind Lies” is a silky smooth tune that will surely receive support just like Beast Break did from B.O.B. himself and Zeds Dead.
Alternative | A Thousand Years – Flying High
Posted by W8 on September 23, 2012
Zeké Africa comes through with a taste off his new Farmers In Fields Of Stars EP that drops October 1st. Flying High involves catchy samples laced with ambient pads and spacey reverb. I’ll just pretend like those glorious sounding words somehow depict the track properly. Honestly though, this tune makes you contemplate why you never used Fruit by the Foot wrappers as flavored rolling papers.

Albums | Lana Del Rey – Serial Killer (Album Preview)
Posted by ATexas on September 17, 2012
Betchy takes human form in Lana Del Rey. Her hair is huge because of the secrets of chicness reside in there. This firey vixen exudes sadness, chicness, and the general “over-it”-ness. She’s developed her own genre that could basically be described as the epitome of a #whitegirlproblem. 3 days ago she did a massive release of music and here are my personal favorites.
