Events | Electric Adventure Announces Full Lineup, Tickets Still on Sale

Posted by on July 19, 2013

Electric Adventure 2013 Electric Adventure painfully announced the lineup one name at a time, culminating in Seven Lions being the final artist added to a bass heavy roster fit for an American festival. The recently expanded, two-day festival being held at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey, boasts names like Dillon Francis, GTA, Seven Lions, Doctor P, Figure, Zeds Dead and a live show from Destroid. You can see the full lineup on the poster above. One of the finer things about the lineup is that it has scheduled breaks in between for you to go enjoy the rides with DJs like DJ Bl3nd taking over the decks. With all of this heavy bass music coming to Six Flags, I can’t wait to see all of the terrified looks on parents faces when they first see all of these kids running around in neon, yolo trucker hats and other obscene apparel that covers almost no skin, and then hear the screeching dubstep come blaring out of the Electric Adventure area. Should be a blast and a clash of cultures. The park will also be open late for people who bought Electric Adventure tickets, so you will have an extra 2 hours, until midnight, to ride roller coasters before slinking on home. Tickets are still on sale so grab them before they are gone.

Electro-House | Dada Life – Boing Clash Boom (Remixes)

Posted by on June 5, 2013

Dada Life – Boing Clash Boom (Remixes)Dada Life‘s album “The Rules Of Dada” has already seen remixes from the likes of Tiesto and Dillon Francis, and now can add the Bingo Players, Major Lazer and Pierce Fulton to the list. While the two bigger names are somewhat expected and add their own unique character to the track, Pierce Fulton should be no surprise, since he recently was a performer at the Dada Life compound in San Francisco a few weeks ago. It is cool to see Pierce getting picked up for such high profile remixes, he deserves it.

The remixes are all quite different and each brings something unique from each other and from the original. Major Lazer go for a slower trapped out stylistic change, while Pierce adds his own chunky bass line in place of the traditional Dada Life electro drop, and the Bingo Players add a jarring acid fueled drop that takes a little while to get used to, but really works in the context of the song. If you are in NYC this weekend, Pierce is turning 21 on Saturday, so come to Lavo and get weird with him as Pierce has his first drink ever and potentially shotguns a beer with you after the show. Get tickets here.

Dubstep, Trap | Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie (Dillon Francis Rmx) [Masq Bootleg]

Posted by on May 27, 2013

ustin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Dillon Francis Rmx) [Masq Bootleg]If I’m going to be honest, which I am, Dillon Francis’ remix of “Suit & Tie” was overrated. It was just a lot of noises, there wasn’t much to it. Masq has been a reoccurring artist to FNT for a few months now, mainly for all the cool bootlegs he has been doing. I was a little nervous when I played this track, I couldn’t imagine what anyone would want to do with this remix. Masq of course defeated my doubts and ended up showing us one nasty bootleg.

Moombahton | Passion Pit – Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix)

Posted by on April 28, 2013

Passion Pit - Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix)Dillon Francis has been a generous man recently. First he gave away his “Suit and Tie” remix for the multi-talented Justin Timberlake, and now he is giving away his remix for Passion Pit‘s single “Carried Away“. Whether it was an issue with labels and release dates, or he just had a I.D.G.A.F.O.S attitude and wanted to give away free music because cats, internet, DJ awareness, taco bell, paypal and stuff, we are not complaining.

This remix displays the versatility that Dillon Francis continues to show with each production, bringing the track down to a 112 BPM moombahton tempo and then adding an acid fueled bass line that meshes quite well with the slowed down pace of the track and the indie vocals and style of the original. Passion Pit has been a popular band to remix, garnering remixes by styles ranging from trap to dubstep to electro house and this one from Dillon Francis has to sit near the top of the list for not only them, but also among his illustrious list of remixes as well.

Moombahton | Dillon Francis – Bootleg Fireworks

Posted by on October 30, 2012

Dillon Francis follows up his collaborative effort with Calvin Harris on his new album 18 Months with a single release on Calvin Harris’ label Fly Eye Records. The track revels in the bouncy moombahton that has helped catapult Dillon Francis to where he his is in his career, while adding chopped soulful vocals and fast paced synth chords. Dillon continues to show his versatility as a producer and when trap seems to be taking the place of moombahton, it is nice to see one of its champions returning to it.
