Man this “Is It Love” remix package might just be my favorite one of 2016. Jenaux already dropped a fire mix, and Justin Caruso followed that up perfectly with his take on the track. While Caruso’s take is more on the future side of things, this isn’t the cookie cutter Future Bass we’re used to. Featuring acoustic guitars, melodic vocal chops, and beautiful sound design, Justin Caruso’s remix is one we’ll be jamming out to all summer. Check out the track now and be sure to download it as all proceeds go to “Pencils of Promise”.
Ambient | Roniit x Trivecta – Through The Night (Direct Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on May 3, 2016
I really love this remix and have been listening to it for the past few days non stop. One of my favorite artists currently, Direct , is making some amazing music. I am pretty new to his sound, but I love how melodic and well done the productions are! Take a listen and checkout the rest of the tunes over on Fanburst.
House, Remix | Selena Gomez’s “Hands To Myself” Gets A Phenomenal Remix From Fareoh
Posted by VMan on March 7, 2016
A couple of months ago Fareoh remixed what was at the time my favorite pop record, and now he’s back to remix my current favorite. Whoever’s making these decisions owes themselves a pat on their back, because this young New Yorker is slowly becoming one of my favorite artists around. His “Hands To Myself” remix is a bit different than the Hailee Steinfeld remix, however, the fact is that it caught me off guard and kept my attention to the very end. A bit of a surprise is always nice, and Fareoh has consistently kept me on my toes.
If you’re wondering what his next move is going to be, head over to his Twitter to stay updated.
Alternative, Chill, Hip-Hop | Jute$ Tells You All About His Cocaine Cinderella

Pretty upset how long this one has been sitting in my inbox, I have been slacking lately. Making his FNT debut with Cocaine Cinderella is Jute$. The Toronto based Jute$ has an extremely unique sound that really connected with me. Despite being mostly a hip hop/ pop/ alternative listener in 2016, back in the day I grew up on a lot of alternative rock/emo/scream music. Jute$ brought back all the feels with Cocaine Cinderella as it reminded me of an eclectic blend of Blackbear, Mod Sun and some of my favorite alternative bands from way way wayyyyy back.

Last week, Matt Medved, Billboard Dance editor-in-chief and the DJ / producer, Sicarii, hosted a special “AMA” (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit’s r/electronicmusic subreddit, where he was able to share his experiences as a dance music journalist and building Billboard Dance into the respected publication it is today. Medved began as a Berlin-based freelancer in 2014, but quickly established himself as one of Billboard Dance’s most important assets before joining the Billboard team for good in March of 2015. Since then, he has penned pieces with an eye towards ending the fight between the underground and the mainstream once and for all, in addition to trying to help keep cell phones in your pocket and off the dance floor. In addition to Medved’s work with Billboard, he recently unveiled his DJ / producer persona, Sicarii – and he’s already played Billboard’s Hot 100 Festival and remixed Maroon 5’s “Sugar.”
On his AMA, Matt Medved answered questions on a plethora of topics ranging from the role of ghost producers in dance music, to his favorite genre at the moment, to his favorite artist to see live. It’s not often that casual fans get a first-hand look at the experiences of someone as integrated in the scene as Matt Medved, so we’ve put together a list of our favorite moments from his AMA below the jump.

Chill | WVRD. Drops Chill-Funk Remix Of “Pumped Up Kicks”
Posted by VMan on January 6, 2016
Nothing like an old favorite transformed into something grand. “Pumped Up Kicks” is practically ancient and today’s daily music consumption world. Yet, wvrd. puts some soul and rhythm into the tune. Turning it into a almost-tech house tune with a melodic spin.
It’s clear that wvrd. is on the come up – if he continues to make tunes like these, his rise could be quicker than most would expect.
Electro | EC Twins Drop First Brooklyn Fire Release “Raggatron”
Posted by VMan on December 14, 2015
My last two favorite tracks from EC Twins was “Won’t Let You Down” and “Number One” both of those showed a mature side of EC Twins’ music that jumps out of you.
“Raggatron” goes much harder than these, but still showcases that mature, evolved sound EC Twins has be delivering. I’m pumped to see what these guys push out in 2015. The duo also have residencies out in Las Vegas, catch one of their shows if you go out there.
