Hip-Hop | Beau Young Prince – Salty Air
Posted by J_Salzer on May 9, 2012
Beau Young Prince hits us with another solid song leading up to the release of his mixtape, Dream Chasers. Although it’s only about two minutes long, the song features a solid amount of bars because of it’s lack of a hook or chorus. This song is the definition of chill. I hate using that word to describe songs, because it’s so vague, and I feel like everyone and their mother is “chill.” But i don’t think that anyone can argue with me after hearing Salty Air. I hope Dream Chasers includes songs resembling Salty Air. And if it does, you’ll see it on Fresh New Tracks come it’s release on May 13th.
Progressive House | Pierce Fulton – 10/6 (That Should Do It)
Posted by Middy on May 2, 2012
If you haven’t already check out Pierce Fulton’s family vacation in Vegas, it is entertaining. Pierce Fulton has decided to giveaway two free tracks that are a bit of a change of tempo from his previous releases that were more upbeat and high energy. As the genre in the soundcloud plays states “Downtempo” and these tracks are exactly that. 10/6 uses movie samples with a moving bass line and a happy piano melody. The second track plays on the same vibe with very relaxing, smooth chords and playful key play with quick percussive strokes. These tracks are perfect for your finals grind or mid afternoon / late night relaxing. These tracks shows his versatility with his ability to produce any sort of music he wishes and not get stuck into one sound.
Electro | Major Lazer – Get Free
Posted by Middy on April 21, 2012
Major Lazer are kind enough to give away this track with a upbeat remix with disco & reggae influences from Bonde do Role. The video fits perfectly with the track with an incredibly chill instrumental with quick, spacey synths, soft percussion and emotive vocals that help carry the melody. Download this gem from Major Lazer at their website below.
Hip-Hop | Gerald Walker ft. XV, Phil Ade & Skeme- 87 Corvette Wishes
Posted by ATexas on April 16, 2012
Southern rap tries to throw literally every knick and knack into one song…which is suitable for people with ADD, but I hate it. However, this song is super chill and changes its flow with each new rapper ergo perfect for chill ADD people. Don’t expect this to be playing late night at a fraternity, just lean back and relax. Yuh.

Mashups | DOSVEC – 1979 Tipsy Kids
Posted by Mach on April 10, 2012
In my opinion this was the hottest mashup off of DOSVEC’s ‘Quattro’ mixtape. As DOSVEC himself put it, you can party on the weekend to this or just chill out on your couch on an average weekday. Growing up I was a big Smashing Pumpkins fan, and who from our generation doesn’t know ‘Tipsy’ by heart. Foster of The People are thrown in for a little extra flavor, just an incredible mashup. This is a MUST HAVE.

Vocals = J-Kwon “Tipsy” / / / Foster The People “Pumped Up Kicks”
Instrumentals = Smashing Pumpkins “1979” (Slink Mix)
Dubstep, Review | Prototypes – Cascade Remixes
Posted by Mach on April 9, 2012
It took them long enough to drop these remixes, I mean I have had Cutline’s remix for over a year now and now it releases. At this point I believe everyone has Cutline’s remix, but the honorable mention of these remixes has to be Wickaman’s remix now. Gives the impression like Bassnectar has an alter-ego now. That just happens to not be the case, but I really like the mellow bass-line Wickaman laid out for this remix. Both remixes are sick, it just depends what kind of dubstep style you like more, dirty or chill.
Mashups, Videos | DOSVEC – Recipe Girl (Video)
Posted by Mach on April 5, 2012
Due to the huge attention ‘Recipe Girl’ has gotten over the past few days, DOSVEC decided to give this fine mashup some visuals to match. Pitbull’s vocals make this mash what it is with that chill beat, it is no wonder he dominates the visuals on this video. This mashup is still a great bedroom jam. I got a kick out of the clip from ‘Friday’ he snuck in, haha.
