Events, Preview, Progressive House | Laidback Luke – Speak Up (Preview) + US Tour

Posted by on March 1, 2012

Laidback Luke is a man who never rests with his Mixmash forum where he responds to all music submissions and tirelessly responds to his fans tweets and Facebook messages like few other artists. All the while he is able to crank out bangers like this one, “Speak Up” with Wynter Gordon. He has been playing it out for the better part of a year now and has really left it a mystery of when he would release this monster until very recently when he released the preview and the release date on March 12th. He is coming over the US for a massive US tour with many more dates to be announced, so do not miss him when he hits your city / area because it will be a party you would be remiss to skip. For those of you heading down to WMC & Ultra check out his Mixmash Pool Party, among the many ridiculous shows that week, because the lineup is great and it is an all day/night pool party. Listen to the preview for “Speak Up” and mark your calender for March 12th as this is going to big. April will remixes of “Speak Up” from the likes of Chris Lake and Mark Knight among others.

After Cazzette’s closing track at about 11 p.m. at the Albany Armory on September 12th, all that could be heard was the loud and constant chanting of the nights main attraction, progressive house artist/producer, Avicii.

Events | Official Camp Bisco X Aftermath Trailer

Posted by on August 6, 2011

Well there’s not two ways about it. Camp Bisco was completely epic. Much of the FNT writing staff made it out there, and surprisingly they all made it back. Our friends over at SliceMedia assisted Wiedemann Digital in filming this Official Aftermath Video for the 10th Anniversary of the Camp Bisco Music Festival which took place July 7-9th, 2011 in Mariaville, NY. Enjoy the visuals and don’t miss out next year… oh and I added the track in the video for download below.

Hip-Hop | FBI Releases Biggie Murder File | Hip-Hop

Posted by on April 8, 2011

The FBI released their very redacted file on the murder of Notorious B.I.G. I just finished reading the whole thing and will give a brief overview of key points stated. Note that because the FBI blacked out a lot of things including many names there is only so much one can take from it.

Biggie was pumped full of 9mm Gecko ammunition which is only manufactured in Germany, and can only be obtained in the US in NJ and CA. Most if not all of the security members and LAPD present at the function were Bloods and known to do security for Death Row.

Something else I found interesting was that many unnamed individuals were able to help with complete sketches of the shooter. The file talks a lot about Tupacs legal history, the East Vs West rivalry, and most importantly Biggie’s involvement with the Genevese crime family of NY.

Check out the file yourself on the FBI’s Website.

Hip-Hop | Hoodie Allen “NY is Killing Me” | HIP-HOP

Posted by on March 14, 2011

The all-so-buzzed about Hoodie Allen just dropped his remix of Jamie XX and Gil Scott-Heron’s original “NY is Killing Me” track. “NY is Killing Me” will be featured on Hoodie’s upcoming tape, Leap Year. The track tells the story of Hoodie’s love-hate relationship with the city (what makes it difficult to be there and even harder to leave).
