Trap | Zedd ft. Haley Williams – stay the night (aylen remix)
Posted by BP on October 23, 2013
Aylen’s spin on the popular Zedd song “Stay the Night” featuring Haley Williams has a dark, cool vibe to it. It’s definitely trap, but it has some elements you don’t typically hear in a party type trap song. It’s got some eerily warped vocals and minimal beats. My favorite part is the last drop about four minutes in because of the added synths. This track is free to download on Facebook!

Hip-Hop, Rap | Selah the Corner & Bizzle – Foreign Exchange
Posted by yabishcic on October 21, 2013
For anyone who is into Drake’s newest album drop, you will appreciate this re-do of his beat. The lyrics in this song really got me, and that is why I loovveeeee hip-hop. Such a good voice throughout this beat and Selah the Corner & Bizzle really hit it on the head. Take a listen.
Progressive House, Trap | London Future & Djemba Djemba – Look At Me Now (feat. Ifa Sayo)
Posted by yabishcic on October 21, 2013
I’d say this recent drop is in the realm of progressive trap, which is where a lot of trap songs have been headed over the past couple of months. With a awesome collab between London Future & Djemba Djemba, this track SLAPS. Ifa Sayo’s voice is absolutely stunning over the trap heavy beats and progressive synths that ride you out all the way through to the end – such a fresh new track.
Dubstep | Breathe Carolina – Mistakes (Inaki Remix)
Posted by BP on October 21, 2013
Stumbling upon this track was a nice surprise today. Inaki’s remix of “Mistakes” by Breathe Carolina features vocal sampling from the original song mixed with a fun, bouncy dubstep track. The melody is what really resonates with me. The drop is smooth, but is still clearly dubstep. If you’re looking for a cheerful, bass-filled tune, here’s a free one!

Events, Exclusive | Countdown to ADE Spotlight: Rustie
Posted by mimada on October 16, 2013
Tomorrow, Fresh New Tracks will be jetting off to the Netherlands for ADE: Amsterdam Dance Event, a five-day electronic music festival, conference, and playground taking over the city. Leading up to ADE, we’ll be filling you in on just who and what we’re looking forward to seeing most. And if any of you out there have any insider tips on the best acts to catch, drop either VMan or myself a line and we’ll be sure to add it to our list.
Name: Rustie
Born: January 4th, 1983 (30)
Homebase: Glasgow
Previous Occupations: Apprentice park keeper and tractor operator (source)
Latest Release: “Triadzz / Slasherr”
I’m ashamed to admit producer Rustie really only entered my radar within the past 6 months after falling head over heels in love with the Flume remix of “Slasherr” and consequently the EP’s other half, “Triadzz.” Since then I’ve diving further into his discography, specifically his album, Glass Swords, which was recognized by the Guardian for their first album award in 2012.You might have also noticed his contribution to Danny Brown’s latest game-changing album, “Old.”
The beginning of Rustie’s electronic career could be described as “aquacrunk,” but has since continuously evolved through various artistic styles and trends, while staying true to it’s hip-hop, 8-bit, and grunge roots. It’s dynamic, spontaneous, and unpredictable, which makes it much more of a rewarding listening experience. Even after having his works on repeat for the past few days, I have no idea what to expect in his live set – I mean, other than potentially a guitar? – nevertheless, the anticipation is killing me.
So, if you can’t make it across the pond to Amsterdam this weekend, I’ve got a solution for you. During his set at the Numbers x Lockdown Showcase at Paradiso on Friday, take an hour or two (considering the event lasts for 6!) to dive into some of his stuff. I’ll leave his legendary BBC 1 mix here for you in case you need a starting point…

Trap | MERCER – Supreme (PHAT DEUCE Remix)
Posted by VMan on October 13, 2013
The French producer, from Paris, Mercer releases 3 new remixes of his track “Supreme”, by PHAT DEUCE, Juyen Sebulba, and DJ D!rty Aud!o. The PHAT DEUCE remix is probably my favorite of the 3, though all of them are excellent. The synth progression in this record makes you feel like you’re going 90mph in the driver seat of a very expensive car, and once you make it to the drop you know you’ve made it to the party. This track is a must listen and a must download!

Progressive House | Paramore – Still Into You (Topher Jones fREeMIX)
Posted by Mel on October 3, 2013
Guys, you know how sometimes things go terribly wrong and you end up having to wipe the back of the toilet and/or think about changing your pants but it was clear af like it always is cause you mostly drink water so you don’t have to? Well guess what happened to me a couple minutes ago… I remembered how my gym teacher in the tenth grade said that she liked my hair and I just now realized that she was flirting with me. I’m sure that it’s not even a question as to whether or not she is still into me because I mean why wouldn’t she be. Chicago native Topher Jones is clearly still into Paramore’s “Still Into You”, seeing as how he remixed it a couple days ago and is giving it away for free. Honestly, the production quality of this track isn’t very high. The melody is catchy though and the drop is nice (and obviously the vocals are too), so it makes the cut. Cut is the better option and so is chewing gum loudly with your mouth open right next to me.
