If you’re looking for originality, look no further than Jon Bellion. Following up his previous releases of “Paper Planes” and “LIFE“, the Long Island native has some fun with his newest release, reciting a plot similar to an episode of “My Sisters Hot Friend”. Jon’s organic style is what really stuck out to me in this indie-acoustic jam, written, produced, and performed entirely by Jon himself. Although varying from his two previous releases, Jon once again has shown that necessary x-factor in each video thus far, creating a piece of art like nothing we’re accustomed to seeing. The upcoming project Translations Through Speakers is still slated for a release later this winter.

As the year becomes nostalgic we are left with a beautiful piece of downtempo magic from Alle Farben. A tropical sounding gem that’s flavored with raw emotion. I’ll go about co-signing this.

Posted by Grubeats on December 7, 2012
Viceroy makes the winter months that much easier for those of us living in the frigid North. Injecting his Summertime, All The Time atitude in Passion’s Pit’s popular hit, “Carried Away”, off their recent album, Gossamer, the Cali party starter keeps the foundation but adds his uptempo electric punch. Don’t forget to wish Viceroy a happy birthday tomorrow on his social liks below!
Abstract Hip-Hop, Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie | BYP x Franky Murdock – About You (Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on November 13, 2012
BYP is back on his musical grind with this remix of the young stunna XXYYXX’s piece. Beau Young Prince hops on this trippy beat with his Dope Collective partner, Franky Murdock, who makes his first appearance on Fresh New Tracks with this post. The SoundCloud genre label of this track is probably more perfect than anything I could attempt to describe it as: Slow Wind Trippy. Beau’s verse is the highlight and the beat reminds me of something from MellowHype, and something else I can’t place. Big things are on the horizon for Beau Young Prince, everyone be on the lookout.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie, Mainstream Remix, RnB, Videos | SoMo – Don’t Judge Me
Posted by J_Salzer on November 12, 2012
Often times I post music that is so breathtaking that I find myself at a loss for words. Being a blogger, that is slightly problematic. I’m having trouble forming words to describe how I feel about this song. I know that’ll probably get me comments like “GET OFF HIS DICK” from all of you internet trolls, but I’ll just go listen to this song to ease the pain. I swear, at one point, when he mixed one of my all time favorite songs “Crawl” into this mix, I got a bit emotional, reminiscing on how beautiful Ri’ and Chris’ love was, and all the past relationships I’ve messed up. Here I am, getting all emotional n shit. Don’t judge me.

Hearing Jon Bellion’s illustrious creations in itself is an honor. Having a behind the scenes look at his creative process is just icing on the cake. Watching Jon add each intricate layer to the production is what amazes me most. When you hear his music you may not realize all of the fine details and elements that make up the final product, but seeing “the making of” really draws a new appreciation for his music. Ping back to the initial post on the LIFE music video and stay up for details on his all original project, Translations Through Speakers, dropping before years end.
Indie | W8’s Indie Pack #5

“Our motto used to be hakuna matata, now its like fuck bitches get money.” Ah, yes, remember when we didn’t have to remember the good times? It’s at moments such as that realization when indie has the most relevance to my playlist, and every now and again my collection revamps itself with a new post like we have here. This pack of tunes differentiates a bit from previous ones but still that overall essence is there. If I could paint a visual to this particular collection it would be with a few friends driving through the desert in a boat-like 1970’s Cadillac convertible.
Now, with a variety of artists present I’ll save you from individual descriptions and let you get right to it, so without further ado let the plays begin and don’t forget to continue after the jump.
