While there’s no denying that the main reason most, if not all, of us go to music festivals for is the music. However, there’s definitely something refreshing about attending a festival that not only delivers on all counts musically, but also has a well-curated slate of ancillary activities to explore and try. Coming into its third year, Mysteryland USA has done just that, delivering a stellar lineup featuring Bassnectar, Skrillex, ODESZA, and more, alongside an impressive slate of art and cultural offerings. This year, Mysteryland USA will feature a Healing Garden for yoga, meditation, and more, a 50′ Incendia Fire Dome, a late night comedy tent, post-festival movies, and a strong food lineup of New York’s finest, amongst others, to make sure festival-goers are constantly engaged in trying something new and doing something fun. In addition to the arts & culture lineup, Mysteryland USA is partnering with Splice for one lucky producer to open up the Boat Stage on Saturday by entering in their Gramatik “Anima Mundi” remix competition. You can find more information on the competition here.

Often times we find musicians creating music to fit a certain trend, or to make something that is “popular”. Many times, an artist doesn’t realize this and loses themselves along the way. However, other times this realization pushes an artist to set trends instead of chasing them – and this is exactly what Jenaux has done. With the release of “Get It On”, his first original in over a year, Jenaux tells us to “try and push yourself creatively till you can’t go any further. Battle your mind with positivity. Seize your inner artistry.” This track is absolute fire, creating a perfect balance between funk, electro, and even a bit of soul. Check it out now, and be sure to support Jenaux!

We may not know who Slushii is, but we don’t really mind, especially if he’s putting out music as good as this! Slushii recently signed to the Canadian-based Monstercat imprint, and to celebrate, he’s just put out a remix of That Poppy’s “Lowlife” that we can’t stop bumping. The remix is Slushii at his finest, as he lays down wavy synths with a pulsing bassline that will have you grooving on the dance floor.
Indie | Gryffin’s Remix of CHVRCHES’ “Clearest Blue” Is Summer Captured In 4 Minutes
Posted by Juicebox on April 26, 2016
There’s no denying that we’re huge fans of Gryffin over here at Fresh New Tracks. The talented multi-instrumentalist not only pushes the boundaries of dance music with his forward-thinking brand of house, but he’s also managed to find a sound that appeals to his dance fans, while still maintaining enough mainstream appeal to crossover into pop. His latest effort, a remix of CHVRCHES’ “Clearest Blue,” is an ode to his impressive production talent, as he takes on the Scottish indietronica band’s biggest hit, and infuses it with his signature melodic house style with soaring guitar riffs, a big bass line, and pulsing synths.
