Posted by Tay on April 7, 2016
It’s no secret that we’re pretty big fans of EDX here at FreshNewTracks. There’s no one in dance music quite like the Swiss-based producer, as he blends smooth melodies with a deep groove that he showcases front and center in his productions and in his live sets. The Italian native has been on an absolute tear as of late, touring the North America and Canada on his first-ever NoXcuses vs. Enormous Tunes bus tour that culminated in a jam-packed Miami Music Week. Earlier this year, EDX was named Beatport’s #1 charting artist over everyone from Hardwell and Tiesto, to Maceo Plex and Nicolas Jaar, further cementing his reputation as one of dance music’s elite. Now, EDX is primed to add a few more incredible accolades to his trophy case, as he’s been nominated for 4 EMPO Awards, including Producer of the Year, Remix of the Year for his remix of “Show Me Love”, Best Label, and Best Indie Dance/Nu Disco Artist. EDX may have nothing left to prove in his career, but he’s still showing that he’s at the top of his game.

Posted by Tay on February 12, 2016
Norway’s next star, Jerry Folk, has been on a steady, yet slow-burning ascent as he’s released several chart-topping tracks. Last year, he brought us his remix of Years & Years’ “Desire,” an original “Futura,” a hit remix of Oh Wonder’s “Lose It,” which racked up 13 million+ plays on SoundCloud alone, and more. Jerry didn’t waste any time in getting back on the release train with “To My Soul” last month, and he’s continuing to impress with another original, “You Know,” that he created with ELOQ during a visit in LA. This newest number is a future bass gem that a testament to both Jerry and ELOQ’s versatility in the studio.

Drum & Bass | Fient’s DnB EP “Fall Away” Packs A Punch
Posted by VMan on November 23, 2015
Fient has been on my radar for sometime now. Each release contains intensity and an instrumental story thats easy to get into. Fall Away EP contains these elements and then some.
The EP is a total of 4 tracks, the first three being drum and bass, and the last one; a surprise progressive house tune that very much fits the overall feeling of the EP. The mixing and mastering on this EP is particularly impressive as well. The DnB is a powerful and full sound, yet it doesn’t sound cluttered at all.
It’s certain Fient wont stop here, check out his new EP and connect with him above.
House | EDX Taps BB Diamond For Vocal Version of His Hit “Want You (Then I Found You)”
Posted by Tay on October 14, 2015
EDX has been on a tear this year. He started 2015 off strong with “Remember House,” his most groove-driven to date, and continued to showcase his matured sound with outputs like “Want You,” before kicking off the summer with one of the biggest remixes of the year, his “Indian Summer” remix of Sam Feldt’s track, “Show Me Love.” In the midst of all that, EDX wasn’t back home in Switzerland, or kicking back on the beach in Los Angeles, rather the house luminary has been embroiled in two massive world tours – first, his “Progression of Sound” world tour, then his “Want You” tour, and now, he’s on his “Belong” tour. With just two months of the year left, EDX is bringing back “Want You” with an added twist, as he’s teamed up with BB Diamond to turn “Want You” into “Want You (Then I Found You)” – a soulful vocal rendition of the track. Stream it above or on Spotify, and check out EDX’s upcoming tour dates after the jump. “Want You (Then I Found You)” will be released on Friday, October 30th.
