News | EDX Continues His Dance Music Domination With 4 EMPO Award Nominations
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.
House | EDX Closes Out His Massive Year With His New Remix of The Avener’s “We Go Home”
Posted by Tay on December 14, 2015
EDX has managed to continually impress us with his growth as a producer, even now, twenty years into his lengthy career. 2015 has been the Swiss dance authority’s biggest year yet, as he’s hit on tracks like his remix of Sam Feldt’s “Show Me Love” and Spada’s “Catchfire (Sun Sun Sun)” that quickly vaulted themselves to the top spot of the Beatport charts. Now, he’s finishing his impressive year in style, with a vibe-infused remix of The Avener’s “We Go Home.” Letting Adam Cohen’s powerful croons stay as the center of attention, EDX eloquently layers a smooth bass line with uplifting piano riffs and synth progressions to give his remix a deep groove. You can get your own copy of the track below, and check out EDX’s new tour dates after the jump.

Albums | Aaliyah – One In A Million (Vasta Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 24, 2015
I was super psyched to find this One In a Million remix by the shadowy producer Vasta. The mix opens up with a soft beat and a bouncy synth that give Aaliyah’s vocals a whole new feel, and then kicks into a smooth, thumpy house groove. This track has some 24 hour playing power and has been bumping from my speakers since I stumbled over the tune. Get the free download and get addicted.

Underground dance music would not be where it is now without Rinse FM. Since its inception in 1994, Rinse FM has gone on to champion UK-centric dance music and artists like Shadow Child, Skream, Kode9, amongst others. This month, Rinse FM has been hosting Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for a special month long residency radio show, and he just used the second episode of the mix to unveil one of his biggest surprises – his first original since his debut album, Trouble, dropped over three years ago. Starting at the 1:36:00 mark of the mix, you can hear Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaur’s signature house groove, as he weaves a pulsing bass line into heady percussion arrangements and his very own vocals on his brand new original. Check it out above, and make sure to keep an eye out for more magic out of the UK legend.
Videos | The Official Music Video EDX Just Put Out Will Have You “Breathin'” Hard
Posted by Juicebox on August 13, 2015
EDX is a man of many sounds. After establishing himself as a major player in the progressive arena, the Italian-native producer decided to change it up last year, infusing his tracks with a deeper groove than his typical style. One of his very first forays into this new sound was “Breathin’,” which re-solidified the claim that his sonic redirection was a viable change. Today, the Swiss house virtuoso is back with the official “Breathin'” music video, which follows the story of a nostalgic, old man at a lake house. As the video goes on, it flashes back to the man with his lover, who is presumably passed away in the present, as he reflects on his lost love. Check it out above, and you can get “Breathin'” on Beatport or iTunes.
