Dubstep | Band of Horses – The Funeral (Echos Remix)
Posted by BP on June 18, 2014
I know there’s a remix or 700 of this song out there, but this one is pretty swell, trust me. Echos remix of “The Funeral” by Band of Horses keeps the vocals in tact, and beautiful might I add, while adding a melodic dubstep style to it. Heavenly chords guide listeners through the bridges into faster paced growls and drums. The progression and melody of this track are unreal. Echos is showing us some awesome work here and I can’t wait to hear more. Grab this one for free.

Before I even begin, there are two things I need to get off my chest: 1. I’m in a moombahton state of mind today, and 2. I’m a sucker for Summer country records. With that said, Johnny_beats just sent over his latest remix of Frankie Ballard’s “Sunshine & Whiskey” and it sounds like a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed. At first listen you think, here we go again for another melodic deep house remix of a track I’ve never heard, but then the hook kicks “and everytime you kiss me” the bass drops! That’s how johnny_beats does it. This is a must listen and a must download!

YoAstrum is no new-comer to Fresh New Tracks. Previous singles, “A Day’s Worth” and “Heav3n”, were a big hit with you all, making it only right to share the full length project, Alchemy In Heav3n. YoAstrum packs 13 tracks full of his signature beat selection and self-aware lyrics.
Personal favorites from the tape include the aforementioned, “Heav3n”, as well as the Lakim produced, “Jet Grind Radio”.

Pegboard Nerds are always releasing progressive house electro bangers to rage to, and “Here It Comes” is no different, reminiscent of my days out in Southern France, near the Spanish border, listening to melodic macina music: epic and hard; so if you’re just waking up, pour yourself some coffee, press play and get yourself inspired! Out via Monstercat, “Here It Comes” is a must listen and support by copping it on Beatport!

Hip-Hop, Rap | PELL – Floating While Dreaming
Posted by admin on May 27, 2014
Perhaps it’s the recycled subject matter, or the false need for a DJ Mustard beat, but it’s clear that many people are dissatisfied with the current state of hip-hop. It takes much more soul (Internet) searching to sift through the piles of gimmicky rappers that cloud our ears every day.
This past week rapper, PELL, did his part in clearing up the cloud. The release of his mixtape Floating While Dreaming proved to be both versatile and enjoyable to listen to. His melodic voice, accompanied by a slew of assonance-laden rhymes allows the tape to flow together with incredible cohesion.
PELL jumps between technical rapping and poppy hooks, and even shows his darker side on songs like, “SC2014”, featuring Boldy James.
When PELL spits: “It’s hard to stay loyal when there’s thousands who adore you.” it is hard not to think that those thousands will very soon be millions.
Dubstep, Electro | Fox Stevenson – All This Time EP
Posted by Middy on May 26, 2014
Internet sensation Fox Stevenson has released his much anticipated EP “All This Time”. The singer / songwriter / producer does it all, making the beats that range from drum n bass to cheery, melodic electro to dub and then writes and sings the slight angsty vocals on the tunes. The four track brings a lot of variety and shows a rare talent that sings and produces his own music in the dance realm. Make sure you pay special attention to “Out There”.

Look out Kygo, Norway has a new rising star, and 18 year old Bearson is it with his melodic deep house remix of Tristan Prettyman’s “Song For The Rich.” Still in my Summer chill phase, it’s track like these that make my day run smoothly. A subtle melody, a light beat, and unique vocals that resonate is all it takes nowadays to tickle my fancy, and if any producers are listening I would say: less is more! This is a must listen and a must download!
