Hip-Hop | Moufy – One Day (Prod. by Almari)
Posted by Grubeats on December 2, 2012
After taking an extended hiatus, Moufy understands he has work to do to earn back the loyalty of his Star Gang supporters. The Boston MC was anticipating a 2012 release for his debut EP, Humble Season, but after making some changes within his inner circle, the release was delayed and thereafter can be expected to drop early in 2013. “One Day” marks the first official release off the EP and harnesses an unparalleled sense of desire and motivation. Mighty Moufy may have a heavy load on his shoulders, but the young gunner is extremely eager to prove to all of us why it’s his time to shine.

Chill, Dubstep | Tijani – Breathe Out (Prod. Great Skies)
Posted by Mach on November 27, 2012
Great Skies is yet another great producer introduced to me by the legend W8. This new track of Great Skies and vocalist Tijani is beauty defined. Once the smooth drop comes in with Tijani’s incredible team of voice and lyric, exhaling becomes a whole new life. This is by far one of the most beautiful and emotional Dubstep tracks of 2012.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie, Pop, Videos | The Lonely Biscuits – Everybody
Posted by J_Salzer on November 4, 2012
Incredibly meaningful video/track from The Lonely Biscuits. They originally recorded this over the summer, in New Jersey, and decided not to release it. Well, I guess it was meant to be, or maybe the Biscuits were very good meteorologists, because there couldn’t a better time to release a track like this. It’s a feel good song, and no doubt many people are downloading it and donating to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, which I would encourage all of you to do. Here’s what The Lonely Biscuits had to say about the release:
“We wrote this song in the summer of 2012 in New Jersey. The song is about moving on and looking up when we cannot control the situations that we are going through. We have had a surreal experience with this song and video, considering this town is now in shambles. We were never going to release this song because we could not connect to it and did not realize the meaning in the lyrics that we had written at the time. However, after Hurricane Sandy hit, we noticed that there is something much deeper within this song that was meant to spread positivity and uplift everyone’s spirits during this time of tragedy. There has been some serious fate that has taken place while making this song and video and deciding not to release it, and we feel that it was made solely to help the victims of the storm. There is more than just our music in this song, there is love, hope, and a meaning that we did not control and cannot describe. All proceeds will be going towards helping rebuild the communities affected. Peace and Love Biscuits.”
Hip-Hop, Rap | Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Pt. 3 (Prod. by Tae Beast)
Posted by J_Salzer on October 20, 2012
Nobody can touch Kendrick Lamar right now. I’ve been accused of being “on his dick” by many, many, readers. Although I’m very offended(not) by that, it doesn’t change my opinion or (non homosexual) love for Kendrick Lamar. His album, “good kid, mAAd city,” will without a doubt be one of the most complete projects of 2012, and I encourage everyone to support the Compton native when it releases tomorrow. This track is no different, packed with signature Kendrick emotional bars and an eerie beat. Grab the download below courtesy of TDE Entertainment.
Dubstep, Moombahton, Preview | Rusko – Like This
Posted by Mach on October 18, 2012
Party man, Rusko after having an extremely successful new album now has a new FREE EP dropping November 4th. His new EP titled “KAPOW,” I’m sure will be another great reflect of Rusko’s love for dance and bass. This is a preview of one of the EPs track. It is a fun Moombah track, filled with grooving potential. Rusko’s team has stated that if you think this song is good just wait until you get to hear what else is on it. Awesome.
House | Jeremy Olander – Norrsken
Posted by Middy on October 15, 2012
As part of Toolroom Records’ ADE compilation, Jeremy Olander has released his next single “Norrsken” or Northern Lights in Swedish. First premiered on EPIC Radio episode 004, Jeremy Olander continues his hallmark house tracks that build and build with a sturdy bass line, subtle atmospheric melodies, gentle, playful arps and chopped vocal bits. Jeremy Olander has been on fire lately with releases like The Rose Law / Rorschach EP and “Audio Bug“, so expect more in this strong finish to 2012 from the young Swedish Pryda Friends asset.

Events, Indie | Austin City Limits: A Foolproof Guide
Posted by mimada on October 12, 2012
This weekend, Fresh New Tracks will get back in touch with its indie side at the 11th edition of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. ACL primarily focuses on folk and indie music, but this year’s much-talked about lineup features icons from every generation and genre, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Avicii, The Black Keys, BASSNECTAR, Alabama Shakes, and more. The three-day festival, showcasing over 130 bands at eight different stages, will be a significantly more laidback atmosphere in comparison to the earlier 2012 festival season, but after some of the outrageous, mind-blowing shows we’ve seen this year, this might be exactly what we need.
