“What up to VMG, ya bish?” – QuESt
If you’ve been following Logic, the VMG movement, and the openers on the tour, you may have become familiar with Miami, FL rhymer, QuESt. QuESt is by no means a new artist to FNT, but he’s been diagnosed with “the skill” and will be the next artist to receive the “VMG treatment”.
QuESt has been patiently waiting behind the scenes, working, learning, anticipating his first move with the independent label that recently birthed Logic, Jon Bellion, 6ix, and GRVTY. Returning with his first video single, “NEATO Season” over Childish Gambino’s “Unnecessary”, Q carries his newly acquired torch as he sets forth on his new episode, spitting flaming metaphors and bars packed with intellect. NEATO; wondering what it is? Never Ever Allow The Obscene. The movement QuESt stands behind, the movement you will soon be following (if you aren’t already). Enjoy this video and stay on your toes for much more to come from the next up.

Albums, Hip-Hop | KYLE – Beautiful Loser (Album)
Posted by J_Salzer on August 12, 2013
Often times when I post an artist’s music, it is the last we see of them. They could be a one hit wonder, not release anything else worthy of posting, or a million other things. KYLE’s presence on Fresh New Tracks has been anything but infrequent. He appears often, and he always brings the heat. Last week, the man released his first ever album, and let me tell you, it’s phenomenal. I’ve been a fan of KYLE’s music since the beginning of last summer, and I knew this 20 year old would be doing big things within a year. And he proved me right. KYLE is on the edge of blowing up, so hop on the bandwagon now before it explodes. Stream the album in its entirety below, and buy it on iTunes by clicking the link in the Soundloud widget, or here.

Hip-Hop | Dylan Owen – The Window Seat
Posted by J_Salzer on July 30, 2013
After a one year long hiatus, the prodigal son has returned. Dylan Owen is back ladies and gentleman, and from my insider information, he is here to stay. After hearing this song, I am convinced that he’s here to stay. The Window Seat is a slow, laidback beat that allows Dylan to tell his story. I know it’s a cliche comparison, but Dylan really is an artist, using the beat as a canvas, to paint a picture with his words. I couldn’t be more impressed with his coming back track, but I know this is only the beginning. Dylan Owen will do big things in the music world, and Fresh New Tracks will always have the first scoop. Grab the track for free courtesy of Dylan, and be sure to check him out on Twitter and Facebook.
House | Kaskade – Atmosphere (AMTRAC Remix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on July 29, 2013
I had a predisposition to this song before I gave it a listen, just because I saw AMTRAC on it. Let alone the fact that I’m a big Kaskade fan and really enjoy the original track. As an artist, AMTRAC has an infectiously funky feel. His tracks ooze a deep yet fun, and usually soulful vibe. He always provides interesting work on the vocals of his tracks which help keep his songs incredibly interesting. He brought all of those signature elements to this remix coming right out of the gates with Kaskade’s airy vocals, almost isolated, and then gently lifting you up to a level where he can hit you with the beat. From there, the song is an ever changing adventure; each phrase different from, and yet complimenting the phrase previous to it. This remix really showcases AMTRAC’s sound and skill, and if you like it then definitely check out everything he has touched, it’s all equally awesome. This track was released as half of a remix package out now on Beatport.

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Moska Talks Beginnings, His Future and Dishes Advice to Other New Producers
Posted by Middy on July 26, 2013
Colombian producer Moska is a name being heavily supported by some of the biggest brands in the industry. At just 19 years old, his talents are nothing to ignore. Having already released tracks on Musical Freedom, Mad Decent and Mixmash, receiving heavy support from each of the label bosses, Tiesto, Diplo and Laidback Luke, and played or been scheduled to play at some of the biggest venues worldwide, Moska has his sights at the top of the dance music echelon. His genre-blending sound allows him to cross over to so many different styles, having already collabed with Tiesto on their remix of “Century”.
He plans to move to Miami by the end of the year to move his base of operations to one of the meccas of dance music today. One issue that has held him back is visa problems, specifically the O-2 visa that holds back his ability to work in the US. The O-2 is designed for people in the entertainment industry, notably individuals new or unrecognized in the industry as per the US government. Because of this, he has to be working alongside Laidback Luke, his current sponsor and any other work would be considered a violation of his visa. So shows, studio time and any professional work has to go through Luke, which can really hinder his growth as an artist here, especially when promotors want to book him. However all of this should be resolved with by the end of the year with many fees paid, lawyers hired, letters sent to the government by Tiesto, Laidback Luke & others, and pages, upon pages of documents sent, he should be fine to go on Laidback Luke’s Fall bus tour in October.
We had the chance to talk to him about his bright future, how he got into electronic music, working with Tiesto and some advice he gave for young producers, like himself.
Hip-Hop, Rap | GoldLink – They Don’t Like Me
Posted by admin on July 24, 2013
Over the past few months we’ve seen music take numerous cities by storm. First, Seattle’s movement lead by Macklemore, followed soon by a Chicago campaign spearheaded by Chance the Rapper and Chief Keef. Now bloggers and fans wait anxiously, all in hopes that their hometown is the next to take over. I, admittedly, am one of those bloggers. However, I know the DMV is next to pop where as most other people are just hoping.
Today I bring you “They Don’t Like Me” the newest song from Virginia resident, GoldLink. Although I can be quick to place an artist in a box with similar sounding acts, I can’t quite put my finger on GoldLink’s sound. His delivery and cadence control is that of a rap veteran, with each line punctuating the Skywlkr beat with force.
“They Don’t Like Me” is just a taste of what this kid can do, so stay tuned for some of the full-length tracks that he’s got coming, because from what I’ve heard it won’t be long before GoldLink is a name that will be popping up on a regular basis.
