Exclusive, Home | FNT’s Top 5 Tracks From Mad Decent’s Newest Star: 4B
Posted by Juicebox on August 18, 2015
Mad Decent is one of dance music’s most recognizable brands, and when an artist earns a release on the label, they officially have the stamp of approval from one of the most influential individuals in dance music – Diplo. 4B, a 22-year-old-producer out of New Jersey, is one of the imprint’s youngest and brightest talents on the rise and is a name fans of Mad Decent should keep their eyes on. His sound is characterized as an aggressive form of Jersey club that is perfect for the festival environment, and his collaboration history includes names like Flosstradamus, Mercer, and more, to name a few.
Having already played EDC NY and EDC Las Vegas – where Diplo Emceed the entire performance and pulled the largest crowd the 7Up Stage had seen all weekend, 4B will add Nocturnal Wonderland and Life Is Beautiful to his resume before the year rounds out the year. To give you a sense of 4B’s festival-ready sound, we’ve decided to give our top 5 track’s from the Mad Decent star to make sure everyone knows who this kid is as he continues to collaborate with some of dance music’s biggest stars.
Fetty Wap – My Way (Flosstradamus x 4B Remix)
Quite possibly his biggest collaboration and hardest track to date, 4B’s remix of “My Way” with Flosstradamus is a merciless trap monster. With a roaring scrape lead taking hold at the drop, its one of those tracks that you throw your body every which way when you hear it.
Bass | The Enigmatic HI-LO Gives Us A First Taste Of His Sound With “Crank It Up”
Posted by Juicebox on May 21, 2015
Future house is becoming a norm now and producers are really having to think outside the box to differentiate themselves from the pack. Bass house, a sub-genre of sorts, has been in the works to find its exact sound with producers like Jauz and Ghastly morphing dubstep and future house into a middle ground. After finding this track through the daily Soundcloud search, it seems that HI-Lo should be added to this list. His debut track, “Crank It Up,” shifts the balance of bass-driven house sounds towards the techier side of things and does not go light on how much bass it uses, which in this case is pretty stellar. You’re going to want to check this kid out as he has already been picked up by Diplo to release the track via Mad Decent on June 25th.
