Progressive House, Videos | Hardwell Miami 2013 Aftermovie “Never Say Goodbye”
Posted by Middy on April 17, 2013
Hardwell had easily one of the standout sets at Ultra Music Festival with an awe inspiring set of largely unreleased tracks from himself and his label, putting the world on notice that Robbert van Corput is without a doubt one of the premier DJs in the world. He not only rocked the MainStage, but he also had his own Revealed Records showcase during the week and then took over the Worldwide stage the following weekend, all of which is documented in the video.
The video starts with his performance in 2012, which was as he described one his best ever and then takes it to 2013 and his set this year on the MainStage, showing the growth in just one year of this rising superstar. One of the many new songs premiered at Ultra, his collaboration with Revealed Record running mate, Dyro and Bright Lights on vocals, “Never Say Goodbye” is given a full preview in the video. The track will be out May 20th on Revealed Recordings.
Electro | Rudimental – Feel The Love (Kill Paris Remix)
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2013
Kill Paris makes straight up baby making music. There is no way around it. He may be the Barry White of EDM — if Barry White was small, white and took slightly creepy pictures in sunflower fields, but I digress. Kill Paris’ combinination of funk, soul, grit and electro makes his sound ideal for what Rudimental brings to the table for what was one my favorite tracks in 2012 and one of the biggest dnb tracks of the year commercially. The remix keeps John Newman’s soulful vocals and lets Kill Paris work his magic, giving it the unique flavor of gritty undercurrents and playful piano motifs that create almost an entirely new track.
Trance | Omnia – The Light
Posted by Spice on March 27, 2013
At this point, it would appear that Omnia is basically incapable of dropping anything other than insanely catchy bangers. Let’s take a look at his track record — the young Ukrainian producer is responsible for 2012 standouts “Infina,” “No One Home,” “Hearts Connected,” and of course “The Fusion.” His latest is in keeping with this trend, thanks to dramatic, agile chord progressions that are impossible to shake from your head. While “The Light” got a soft release as part of Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance 2013 compilation, it officially dropped on Monday via Coldharbour Recordings. Anyone in attendance at ASOT 600 in Miami on Sunday will surely remember hearing it in Markus Schulz’s mindblowing, relentless set — as one of the penultimate tracks, it whipped the crowd into an absolute frenzy.

Progressive House | Moguai – Champs
Posted by Middy on March 22, 2013
With already 3 huge releases under its belt this year, Size Records brings out its next weapon from German producer, Moguai, who is coming quick out of the gate this year with his chart topping release “Mammoth” and now this recently previewed release on Size. “Champs” provides a subtle toughness, much like that seen in “Mammoth”, while still remaining true to many of the melodic hallmarks we saw on his 2012 artist album “Mpire”. As the 99th release on Size Records, we have to hope that the 100th release during this 100 to 100 campaign will be something from Steve, possibly his collab with Matisse & Sadko.

Trance | Protoculture – Laguna
Posted by Spice on March 15, 2013
South African producer (and one of our DJs to watch in 2013) Protoculture hits it out of the park with “Laguna,” his first original release since his 2012 smash “Perpetual Motion.” A catchy, dramatic hook and ethereal vocals set this track apart from the pack — it’s easily one of my favorites from the A State of Trance 2013 compilation. Though Protoculture won’t be joining The Expedition when it lands in Miami next week, expect to hear plenty of “Laguna” now that the season is upon us.

Events | South by Southwest 2013
Posted by mimada on March 9, 2013
Next week, Fresh New Tracks will take on South By Southwest, the self-proclaimed “premier destination for all discovery” that sets the trends of music for the next year to come. SXSW is a film, music, and interactive festival that takes over the city of Austin for 10 outrageous straight days. The music festival is comprised of official and unofficial (usually free) shows, rooftop parties, party boats and buses and no to mention the most interesting collection of people you will ever see.
Allow us to give you a little taste of what went down last year…
Stayed tuned for Sev and Mimada’s Complete What-To-Do and How-To-Do-It guide after the break.
Electro-House | Carnage & KillaGraham – Mr. Lover
Posted by Middy on March 8, 2013
Carnage has been on a roll recently with tracks like “Incredible” and his festival remix of “Spaceman” still seeing a fair amount of air time and KillaGraham has been quiet this year, but with a bevy of productions to finish out 2012, the former DEFEP member has shown plenty of promise coming into this year. Showing their appreciation for the fans, Carnage & KillaGraham have given out for free this high energy electro track that sneaks up you with a slow progressive build, emphasizing the female vocals and then crescendoes into a high powered drop of driving pitched synths and thumping bass.
