Chill | KOLAJ Makes The Best “Hello” Cover Yet
Posted by VMan on December 21, 2015
Scrambling to be the first one to lock in a cover or official makes it easy to miss out on a fundamental part of the process, the music.
KOLAJ released this song after the wave of viral hungry artists pushed something simple out, so not only did KOLAJ miss the flood, but their keen ear for detail enhances the tune to such a point that they have created the best cover of the song to date.
It’s like KOLAJ can do no wrong right now, listen to the cover and connect with KOLAJ above.
Albums, House | Aiden Jude Releases “Progressive Bliss”
Posted by VMan on December 3, 2015
New York native, Aiden Jude wasted no time following up his last single with what we’d like to call his best work to date. “All In” brings back the best elements of progressive house music with a lead that takes you on an refreshing uplifting melodic journey. Celia Babibi reminds us of early Kaskade days featuring the amazing Hayley. Needless to say if Aiden keep these types of productions coming our way, he’ll have a bright future ahead.
Progressive House | Martin Garrix and Tiesto Release “Only Way Is Up” on Musical Freedom
Posted by BIGLIFE on May 4, 2015
Here at FreshNewTracks.com, we’re not big on progressive house. Why you ask? Because it’s wanna-be top 40 recycled ghost-produced garbage. This new Martin Garrix and Tiesto collaboration out today on Musical Freedom is straight fire. We first heard it at Ultra in Miami, and couldn’t wait for the release date. Now it’s here and Spinnin’ Records has been kind enough to release the video. I’d rag on the awkward Tiesto cameos, but it’s not worth it. This “Only Way Is Up” single is a big ole’ tune.
House | Enigmatic C R I M E Producer Drops “Devotion”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 28, 2014
You know what’s going to be a trend in 2015? Producers dropping tracks under no-name Soundcloud accounts. That’s going to be a thing. I can already feel it. C R I M E leaves absolutely no clues as to who he or she is, which I think is it what they want. Identity aside, “Devotion” was recently featured on “Heldeep Radio 30” and is an undeniable tune. No date yet, however, it’s set to release on Monday Records. Xo.
House | Skitzofrenix Samples The “Thong Song” Making Us “Bounce”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 22, 2014
I never thought I’d see a deep house interpretation of SISQUO’s famed “Thong Song” but such is life. Skitzofrenix makes his FreshNewTacks debut with his latest masterpiece (premiered on Oliver Helden’s latest “Heldeep Radio 29”) titled “Bounce” doesn’t have a release date or label quote yet. That said, it’s a tune and a half and we predict it could really pop off in 2015. Dumps like a truck? Check. Thighs like what? Check. Groovy baselines? Absolutely. Keep an eye out for this tune. Hat tip to TB.
Albums, Featured, Hip-Hop | Logic – Under Pressure [Album Reflections]
Posted by Grubeats on October 21, 2014
Where do I begin?
Exactly 1,163 days I received an email. That email just so happened to be my first official introduction to Maryland hip-hop artist, Logic. Described as a young, talented MC known for his lyrical prowess – I couldn’t have said it better myself – and fortunately for us, that’s still the same Logic we’re looking at today. Since that introduction, Logic has been my favorite artist, period. To call out a few – he’s genuine, personable, tenacious, confident, well spoken, and last but certainly not least, one BEAST of a rapper. Preaching “peace, love & positivity” since the very start, he’s one artist who has stayed true to his message, through and through. His story has undoubtably changed hundreds if not thousands of people’s lives for the better. The craziest part is, Under Pressure is still just the beginning.
When asked what “Under Pressure” means to him, Logic responded,
“For me, it’s the duality of who I am. Being Bobby and being Logic, being under pressure personally in all the things that I go through in my life. Just as a regular dude, ’cause outside of music, there’s people who look at me like I’m not shit. I’m just little Bobby, dealing with the pressures from my family, where I come from. All that. Also, being in the rap game and just being under pressure to sell whatever you gotta sell.” [via XXL]
He’s right though – he’s the debonair “Young Sinatra” on the street, then he steps into the booth and all previous conceptions vanish. He embodies some form of legendary lyrical machine. That to me is what separates Logic from much of his competition.
It’s clearly been a long time coming to deliver the album and as you’ll hear on “Growing Pains III”, he has recorded over 1,700 songs in the past 10 years, only 150+ of which have been released to date. Under Pressure is far from a grab bag of records. Carefully crafted, Logic and team have put countless hours into this album and I hope that after listening, you’ll recognize that. The 12 tracks (15 on the Deluxe version) collectively paint a bigger picture. As expected, the album is a very raw, personal look into Logic’s life, and more specifically his upbringing. From family struggles to personal and musical accomplishments, you’ll truly understand the person behind the mic after listening to this album.
As if I haven’t already giving you enough of a reason to go buy the album, legendary producer No I.D. blessed it with his executive production. I don’t mean to jump the gun, but typically anything he touches turns gold. Then platinum.
“Conversations with No I.D
Who made hits with Ye, got hits with Jay
Now he wanna fuck around and make hits with me
If it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be
Can’t express what that meant for me, what it mean to me
Man, I swear the shit like a dream to me, what it seemed to be” – Till The End [Track 12]
Last but not least, I want to once again give a shout out to the whole team at Visionary Music Group. Logic’s in house producer, 6ix stepped up and destroyed the production on half of the album. The rest of the team is too humble to take credit, but I thank you all for the work you’ve put in. VMG is a blueprint for organic growth, keep at it boys (& girls?).
Without further adieu I suggest you GO GRAB BOTH DIGITAL VERSIONS on iTUNES and take a trip to your local record shop (or Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc.) and clear out the shelves (if you can beat Henry to it)!!! 100k the first week!
