Ambient | Daughter – Youth (Dotcom Remix)
Posted by Juicebox on July 24, 2013
In a world so over saturated with rushed productions and distasteful “EDM” remixes, finding a remix that brings the original track into a new light while still accentuating the beauty of the original has become an impossible task. Too often do we see the sonorous vocals of Ellie Goulding or Adele trashed with the accompaniment of a preset synth in Nexus followed by a cheesy drop. But every once in a while, you come across something else. You come across a remix that has not only given new life to an already inspiring song, but a remix that has actually bettered the track, all whilst still encompassing it’s original beauty and stems. Someone call up Daughter and sign this as an official remix, I tip my hat to you Dotcom.

Drum & Bass | A Tribe Called Quest Ft. Faith Evans – Stressed Out (Lewd Behavior Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 11, 2013
As a member of the music blogging world I have seen my fair share of awful A Tribe Called Quest remixes, no one has seemed to understand the importance of verses in Hip-Hop in EDM. You see it everyday in Trap right now. Lewd Behavior didn’t make one of those remixes, in fact the Canadian producer is now responsible for one of the best remixes I have heard of the legendary Hip-Hop group. Life have you stressed out? Me too, but this remix will put your head in a good place.

Electro | Hyper Crush – Rage
Posted by admin on July 10, 2013
Yeah, let’s f*ckin’ rage! Although I may not be the resident EDM blogger here at Fresh New Tracks, I sure can recognize a masterful track when I hear one. Hyper Crush is gearing up to release their full album entitled, Vertigo, and “Rage” is the first single off of it. Having set the tone with a song like this, I have been left in utmost anticipation as to what comes next.
The next step is Hyper Crush’s official music video to this very song! It should be coming out soon, so check back in for when it does. Electro music videos are always a ride and with a party jam like this one, I can only imagine.
Go rage, and be sure to support by purchasing from iTunes if you can!
Electro | B.Dolla – Headhunter
Posted by admin on July 8, 2013
B.Dolla has always been a favorite in my books because of his “do-what-I-like” attitude. Herbie Hancock made a prolific impact on Dolla’s career and who he his musically, so he decided to take some of that passion and re-work it in to his music. Never mind that the young EDM fans of today probably don’t know the 1960s-age jazz pianist, Dolla thought, I’ll do what I want to do.
“Headhunter” is probably the exact opposite of what you’d expect out of an original track sampling Herbie Hancock. Hard hitting and trap infused, B.Dolla’s newest offering is most definitely one to be bumped at summer gatherings and a song that I can see thousands of fans wildin’ out to at a festival or two.
Last, slightly off-topic, but the album art for “Headhunter” is pretty stunning. That’s a great element to have going for you when submitting music. The art is the first thing bloggers see, and when it’s done professionally I’ll assume the music is just as professional!
