Exclusive, House | FNT Premiere: Years & Years – I Wish I Knew (Logo Remix)
Posted by Middy on December 16, 2013
Straight from Kitsuné to your speakers, we have the premiere of the Logo’s remix of Years & Years “I Wish I Knew”. Taken from the Gildas Season’s Greetings Mix, Logo have added a superb remix to the holiday themed compilation. Deep and soulful, Logo creates a totally new ambiance from the original, pitching down the vocals, with a totally new, soothing instrumental from the Parisian duo. Kitsuné has consistenly been at the forefront with funky and soulful house music, and here is yet another example from another producer hailing from Paris and its seemingly limitless talent pool.
Exclusive, House | Marcus Jakes – Up To Me [FNT Premiere]
Posted by Middy on November 27, 2013
Cardiff native, Marcus Jakes is new to the house scene, but he has already made an impression on big names in the UK with releases on Ministry of Sound and Black Butter Recordings. Markus Jakes brings the track together with funky rhythms, poignant synth stabs and an infectious vocal that gives the track a throwback feel to the formative days of house music. “Up To Me” will be out on December 16th with “Stop The Talking” via Jalapeño Records, so stream the track as often as you want here until December 16th. With 2013 almost in the rierview mirror, he looks to use this two track selection to help catapult him to greater heights in the new year.
Progressive House | Mako – Our Story
Posted by Mel on October 14, 2013
Quite honestly, there is a lot of house music these days that feels shallow and empty. That is definitely not the impression one gets after listening to Mako’s latest original “Our Story”. It’s nice to hear music that feels like it was made by actual musicians instead of people who have been playing around in Logic or FL Studio for a few months and are aware of the simple formula that is progressive house. Mako is what this genre needs and it’s a shame there’s not many more producers like them. I really can’t say enough good things about these guys so I suggest you just take a listen. “Our Story” is Mako’s best work so far and an all around great progressive house track.

Electro-House | Hyper Crush – Illegal
Posted by VMan on October 10, 2013
The homie EJ sent over Hyper Crush’s latest single “Illegal” a nice little dancefloor banger for the clubs to get the asses shaking, in anticipation for their album release “Vertigo” October 15. Hpyer Crush make electro-house music though they incorporate elements of pop and hip hop, something different. I almost want to say they incorporate elements of trap in this latest release, a good beat to get ignorant to, do illegal shit, and twerk obviously. Suport by copping the pre-sale, and like them on Facebook! Must listen!

Progressive House | Paris Blohm – Believe
Posted by Mel on September 14, 2013
This has certainly been a breakout year for LA based producer Paris Blohm and after a few months wait, he is now back with another free original. Instead of taking the darker, hard hitting route that most of his songs tend to go, he has chosen to show his more harmonic and cheerful style in a rather short but fun instrumental. Like his most popular song “Presence”, this too is dedicated to his lost sister Chloe.

Events | Five Things We Can’t Wait For At Electric Zoo 2013
Posted by Spice on August 8, 2013
Summer is flying by, which is bittersweet on one hand but totally amazing on the other. Why? Because it means that we’re getting closer and closer to Electric Zoo’s blowout fifth year. If you’re not up on your EZoo life, check out our official recap video from last year and see what you missed. Yeah — it was pretty killer. Fortunately, this year is already shaping up to be bigger and better than ever for many reasons, not least of which are:
1) Two mainstages (count ’em, TWO) and an expanded festival site on Randall’s Island. More on that later.
2) A new 18 and up policy. Sorry, youths (#YOUTHS) of the world — I’m too old for your shenanigans and look forward to mingling with an older and wiser crowd. *Wheezes; testily gestures for you to GET OFF MY LAWN.*
3) A totally killer lineup — which is par for the course by EZoo’s standards. There’s lots to be excited about here, but we’ve come up with five things that we’re especially stoked for. Check ’em out after the jump.
Preview, Progressive House | Marcus Schossow – Reverie (Preview)
Posted by Middy on July 3, 2013
Axtone is known for releasing a select few quality tracks in each year that will have a lasting impact on the sound of that year. This year we have seen the impact of “Wakanda” and the hardstyle revival in mainstream house music, plus Axwell’s return to releases with his own “Center Of The Universe“. Now a staple of Axwell’s sets, “Reverie” from Swede Marcus Schossow will finally get its final release with a remix from Michael Calfan coming later in the summer. The track combines an ominous, spacey build with a hard-hitting, churning drop that should make this a summer favorite. Watch for this on July 12th.
