Oh wow, for once those Facebook sponsored ads did work, and being the type of guy that listens to mostly everything that is presented to me, I read “…love Quilla’s vocals on the original track and I wanted to slow it down and give it a nice chill, tropical vibe” from Thero as he just passed 500 Likes on Facebook so I knew I had to press play. Remixing George Acosta’s “We All Get Lost Sometimes,” he adds the much needed sunlight the original needed blessing you on this glorious Sunday morning. This is a must listen and a must download!

Albums, Deep House | ZHU – Nightday EP
Posted by mimada on April 22, 2014
Between 4/20, Coachella, and any other holiday weekend festivities, you might have missed the highly anticipated release of the mysterious producer, Zhu’s freshman EP. This EP is ultra-satisfying not only for its content, but also because it marks the end of our suspense in seeing what this Zhu guy is all about. However, as far as who this Zhu guy actually is, well, we’ll get there.
In case you haven’t been following the steady rise of this artist, let me catch you up to speed. Back in February, music bloggers across the country (including FNT!) received emails from an anonymous source with the attachment later to be identified as Zhu’s first single, “Moves Like Ms. Jackson.” Following that, another even more addicting, and this time original track, “Superfriends” took the internet by storm. But it wasn’t long before fans made use of their Internet skills and uncovered the artist as Los Angeles based Stephen Zhu of No Ego Records. What was even more remarkable then the fine detective work provided by Joel McRae via Do Androids Dance was the evidence that Zhu had planted the seed for this EP and all its branding quite some time ago. And still, leading up to the release and even today, there remains an air of intrigue as to who the man behind the smoke is.
As for the music, it without a doubt lives up to the hype. Zhu has really established his own distinct sound: dark, seductive, bass heavy and overall sexy. The tracks released prior to the EP, like “Faded” and “Paradise Awaits” are among some of the more stand out ones, while “Stay Close” and “The One” offer a more subdued, deep house // UK garage feel.
Now that we can finally enjoy this artist’s work as a whole, I’m dying to know what his next move is. No doubt it’s been carefully calculated so he’ll leaving us hanging by a thread until the time is right. Until then, stream “Nightday” in full via Zhu’s website here or cop it from iTunes and test it out by driving fast on empty freeways late at night with a Russian model in your passenger seat and your hand on her thigh. Or something devious like that.

Hip-Hop | Chance The Rapper & The Social Experiment – Home Studio (Back Up In This B***H)
Posted by dshaq on March 26, 2014
I think it’s funny when people start listening to Chance and are all like “YOO have you heard this Chance the Rapper guy?! He’s so dope like all of his music is tight”. Chance’s reach has hit full effect and he is one of the hottest MC’s on the rise and I couldn’t be any happier for him. After Acid Rap and 10Day, it’s very refreshing to hear new sounds from Chance to hold us over until the next anticipated project. Home studio features a different type of Chano flow, that similar to Vic’s “Feel That”, and if it’s any indication on where his sound might be going then it can only go up from here. Holler at the song below & SAVEMONEY.

Dubstep | Deathcab for Cutie – Transatlanticism (Collin McLoughlin Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 26, 2014
Collin McLoughlin is the king of melodic dubstep. There’s no question about it. He can write. He can produce. He can sing. He can even DJ. What does the guy not do at this point? When we heard he was releasing a “Transatlanticsm” remix we didn’t know what to think. What Collin’s come up with here is serious business. Not only is this remix beautiful, we’ve heard rumor that a huge collaboration is in the works. There’s no question that Collin’s star is quickly rising. Keep an eye out for our exclusive FreshNewTracks.com interview with him coming next week.

Take an hour and 23 minutes out of your day and watch this video. Seriously do it. It features a full string ensemble, drums, a full compliment of singer, and even a guy sweeping the floor (just watch). Of course, Tony, Paavo and Jono are showing off that they are more than just guys who hit play and drag and drop presets, but real musicians. It is a fresh and beautiful take on their own material, from Ocean Lab to “Group Therapy”. The album comes out tomorrow and if you knows whats good for you, the purchase will be made. We also will have a nice giveaway to accompany it. Pre-order the album here.
Progressive House | Ellie Goulding – Goodness Gracious (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on January 21, 2014
An official remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Goodness Gracious” is the third release in January so far for The Chainsmokers and with their first original coming out next week, they are having an incredibly strong start to the year. They say this is their favorite remix they have done in a while and understandably so because it is one of their best productions. A lot of people say that Drew and Alex of The Chainsmokers are nothing more than one good looking guy and one okay looking guy (Alex) but that is clearly not the case. They had a huge year in 2013 and they are on pace to have an even bigger 2014. No word yet on the release date.
