Today’s the day! Our new track “Subliminal” is now available, featured as a Beatport Exclusive! For those of you who aren’t familiar, this track is a collaboration between ourselves, French producer Leo Pigot & SZNV. It’s totally a monster and we promise it will be well worth your $2.49! Here’s a little clip in case you don’t trust us… 😉
Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of meeting and becoming great friends with a French producer by the name of Leo Pigot. We met Leo through our mutual friend Derek from Khross Clothing. Collaboration was inevitable and we’re proud to announce that the first product of those efforts is coming out as a Beatport Exclusive on July 2nd. The track is called “Subliminal” and is just littered with huge beats, dirty bass and big vocals. It’s being released as an EP packaged with 4 remixes by Alexander the Great and Branded Travesty. Leo came over to the states for WMC in Miami and we got to perform the track live together which was a total blast. We were able to piece together a little teaser video for it:
Check back on July 2nd for a bigger preview clip and a link to buy the track!

As we grow more and more excited for what’s already shaping up for 2013, we wanted to take a look back on what 2012 meant for us. When we did, it was humbling to see it all laid out. Here’s a look back on the past year for NU.F.O.:
– We watched our fanbase grow across all our social media from a few hundred to over 20,000. Whoa. Minds = blown.
– Had many of our tracks featured on numerous blogs and radio shows including one of our personal faves, Digi10ve.
– Released 11 new tracks including a 5-song EP, “Midnight Remixed” which featured other artists remixing our work which was a personal first in both of our musical careers. It’s an amazing thing to hear your art reinterpreted by other amazingly talented musicians.
– Charted #1 for 2 weeks on PureVolume with our “Fire Fight” vocal remix of Skrillex’s track “Cat Rats” over Skrillex himself.
– Furthered our DIY approach and learned how to use video editing software to make our first music video ever for our vocal remix of “There & Back” by Wolfgang Gartner.
– We were featured on the “Into the Mix” radio show with Ioan Holland on Zone One Radio all the way over in London. We did about a half hour interview (with tracks) covering things like what influences us, what makes a good remix, how we approach EDM, remixes and more. We were then included in the 2012 wrap-up “Remixers of the Year” episode. We come in at the 33:30 mark.
– Came in 17th place out of 1400 producers in Linkin Park’s “Lost In The Echo” remix contest due entirely to your support. You guys are nothing short of amazing, we ♥ you.
– Had the TBMA remix of our track “Above the Surface” aired on BBC Radio 1 in Modestep’s mix. Comes in at the 43:30 mark.
Although these accomplishments seem grand and we are indescribably gracious for them, they pale in comparison to the greatest thing we got in the past year: an insane amount of new friendships and connections with all of you. That’s the payday for us in this, and why we give our music out free. We just love creating this art and meeting so many new people from our backyard to all over the world because of it. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We genuinely appreciate you.
So right off the bat for 2013, we’ve got a music video in the works which will feature our first track from our forthcoming sophomore record, “Still Amazed”. We expect the record to be out by late spring/early summer. We’ve got some other great remixes on deck already as well, and are starting preparations for our live setup. We’re excited for what the rest of the year will bring, the growth and transformation in our music, more awesome convo with all of you and for all the new friends we’ll make down the road. We wish you all a brilliant year in your own lives.
It’s that time of year again, and No-Shave November aka “Movember” is upon us. I (EP1C) was approached to participate this year for charity to help raise funds for men’s prostate cancer research, and of course I jumped on board. The company behind this charity drive is the AdMeTech Foundation, who helped develop the Mammogram, used for detecting breast cancer in women. They are now raising funds to develop the same sort of advance detection technology for men’s prostate cancer, which has now surpassed breast cancer as a killer (1 in 6 men vs. 1 in 8 women) and is also now the second most lethal disease for men, after lung cancer. Prostate cancer literally kills a man every 16 minutes, but IS curable when detected early which is why getting the funding to develop this “Manogram” technology is so important!
So it’s really simple with these sort of things, strength in numbers! If all of our fans and friends donated just $1, we’d raise well over $15,000. So please, if there is a guy you love- your dad, brother, boyfriend, husband, friend or even yourself, NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL to donate to this cause. The bonus is that you get to see me become a bushy mountain-man in the process. 😉
Thank you in advance for any and all support including donating and also sharing the donation page on your social networks. Here’s the link where you can donate and also follow the unshaven progress of all of us that are participating: http://www.rally.org/manogram
When we came across the opportunity to re-imagine Linkin Park’s newest single “Lost In The Echo” for their remix contest, we knew it would make for a sweet pairing. Despite that they are by all means a “rock” group, there are definitely some similarities between our styles and this became even more apparent once we began replacing their original canvas with our heavy electro counterpart. You can listen to our remix at the link below. While you’re there please help us out, take a sec and vote for the track! It would mean the world to us. Thank you as always for the continued love and support, we hope you guys dig what we did with the song!
