Bass, Electro, Pop | Ayokay calls on Quinn for his newest single “Kings of Summer”
Posted by admin on August 2, 2015
Quinn is not a new name here at Fresh New Tracks. His latest EP Change of Scenery was covered here as well as across the internet on numerous magazines and blogs. However, the producer who provided Quinn with the spacey-pop backdrop for his music is often overlooked.
Today we shine some much-deserved light on Ayokay, the futuristic producer whose sound is vibrant, diverse, and bold enough to stand out amongst the many “bedroom” producers on SoundCloud.
“Kings of Summer” allows Quinn to take a backseat, and give the reigns to Ayokay to really show his chops as a producer. The song is funky and bright enough to lead you to believe we have far more summer to bask in.

Pop | Duke Dumont Transports Us To 80’s Pop Greatness In “Ocean Drive”
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 2, 2015
There are artists and songs in that have the power to transcend the dance space and set their own trends. Blase Boys Club’s Duke Dumont is one of those artists. He doesn’t post meme content. He doesn’t drop a weekly podcast. He doesn’t drop a new track every month. His releases are few and far between, which signals a higher level of care and quality to the music. Case and point: Duke’s new 80’s pop inspired “Ocean Drive” single off his forthcoming “Blase Boys Club Pt. 1” EP. When the entire dance space is zigging, Duke is zagging, which is why we love him. We expect this tune to be a massive one.

Freestyle, Pop | Timeflies Rap Their Rendition of Don McLean’s “American Pie”
Posted by Grubeats on July 15, 2015
Staying true to the theme of their upcoming Tour, Timeflies spin Don McLean’s classic jam, American Pie, just for fun. While Rez did his thing sampling the original, Cal borrows verses from Em & Jay then strings together a free verse of his own to complete the track. The tour will kick off on October 1st in North Hampton, MA and touch down in a total of 22 cities across the nation. It’s no question you’ll experience a one of a kind live performance, but will we see a cameo from Natalie La Rose anywhere along the way? Either way, cop their newest single featuring Natalie below & your tour tickets HERE!

Pop | RAC Takes ZZ Ward’s “LOVE 3X” to the Dance Floor
Posted by Tay on July 8, 2015
ZZ Ward is a pop starlet who is just awaiting the release of her new album This Means War that is due out this September. A single off the LP, “LOVE 3X,” is seeing itself get the remix treatment from a number of producers, and the first of the bunch is indie-pop remixing champion RAC. Not in his usual commercial house style, RAC lets ZZ Ward’s vocals stay in its sing-a-long demeanor while he puts a fluttering bass, hiccup percussion, and spiced up vocal chops to give it that electronic-tinge. RAC never fails to impress and neither does ZZ Ward.
Mashups, Pop | DOSVEC – BBHMM
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 2, 2015
We have all heard numerous versions of “BBHMM” but DOSVEC delivers a out of the box mashup that take the tough, hard grit of the original and makes it into POP GOLD. It is always refreshing when an artist tries something and delivers (isn’t that what DJ’s / Producers are suppose to do)
Pop | Timeflies take it all the way pop with their newest release “Worse Things Than Love”
Posted by admin on June 25, 2015
Timeflies has always towed the line of pop and rap carefully. Much of their early following can be attributed to rap renditions of famous pop songs in their “Timeflies Tuesday” series. However, with “Worse Things Than Love” they go all the way pop and don’t look back.
“Worse Things Than Love” comes right as the summer begins to heat up, and the hook is so catchy you’ll likely have it in your head until the summer cools down. To top it all off Natalie La Rose lays down a bridge that gives the song enough flare to really put it over the top.
While there may be a few begrudging fans out there, Timeflies took a step in the right direction with this one and because of that will hopefully get many more ears and eyes on them in the coming months.
