Events | Electric Zoo Announces Set Times & Updates App
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
Electric Zoo is just 10 days away and unlike many festivals this summer, Made Event has been kind enough to release the set times well in advance, so you can start planning your optimal festival experience. Each day starts bright and early at 11am with some acts you don’t want to miss like Audien, Henrix and Khoma, so be ready with plenty of coffee in the morning to get you there, especially if you head out to an afterparty the night before. They have also provided a full logistical layout of the grounds and updated the app, so you can plan your way through the three days and have the lineup on the go. Check the lineup here, and if you still don’t have tickets get them here.
Events | THROWBACK THURSDAY: The Best of Global Dance Festival 2013
Posted by mimada on August 15, 2013
After finally resolving some site issues and getting the chance to post up in one location for more than 24 hours, I am elated to present to you a recap of Fresh New Tracks’ favorite moments from this year’s Global Dance Festival.
Global Dance Festival is the hidden gem of music festivals, not-so-quietly tucked away between the soaring red rocks a few miles outside Denver, Colorado. This year marks the 11th running of the festival and to this day, Global has stayed true to its motive of keeping things fresh and innovative as both electronic music and the world evolve. Each day of the festival varied greatly from the next, catering to electronic music aficionados of every kind.
SO CHECK IT OUT, AFTER THE BREAK!

Events, Review | Paris & Simo @ Lavo NYC 7/27/13 (Review)
Posted by Middy on August 6, 2013
Anybody familiar with high-end nightlife in NYC, knows Lavo and its reputation for an incredibly strict door, good-looking patrons, over-priced drinks and top-line DJs. There are plenty of places in NYC with the first three, but few have added the last one to their repertoire.
On this particular night, I was a bit sluggish from getting home from a rather aggressive night of drinking with Moiez the night before, thus I was hoping Paris & Simo would bring it to keep me going. After quickly crushing a Red Bull at a nearby Duane Reed, a walked down the familiar block of 58th in between Park & Madison, seeing drunk dudes and chicks spilling out of cabs and town cars, yelling at each other as if their hearing was already gone before they made their way into the proper line. Navigating the line is an art, pushing your way through entitled VIPs and b-rate models, just hoping to be seen by somebody, it is your job to be noticed in the mixture of plastic…. and plastic.
Events | Size In The Park Expands to 2 Days, Tickets Now On Sale
Posted by Middy on August 6, 2013
After a successful, but rainy and quiet debut to Size in the Park last year, Steve Angello’s Size Matters returns to Central Park in New York City for a second year. This time they have expanded from just one day, to almost a two day festival format. No word on the lineup yet, but I would be willing to bet that it would be some people from Size. Just a shot in the dark, not totally sure though.
Going for the outdoor gig in late September is a bold maneuver because it could get pretty cold at night, especially if it is rainy, but bold choices can pay off. More info at the Size In The Park website here. Tickets are on sale now a few days early, though pre-sale tickets sold out in the blink of an eye.
Progressive House | Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love (Swanson Remix)
Posted by Mel on August 1, 2013
When the acapella of this song was given away by Calvin Harris himself, I immediately went to the washroom, splashed some water on my face and put some lotion on my hands cause they were kinda dry in preparation of an amazing remix that I knew was sure to come. I’m not really a huge fan of the original. To me it’s just a semi-enjoyable pop song. In fact, I just watched the music video for it and am now a bit annoyed because Mr. Harris and Ellie Goulding kissed a few times and as a guy I don’t really know how to react to two people kissing it’s like they are just making me feel bad that I don’t have a gf but whatever I don’t even care. I was waiting for somebody to turn the pop song into a huge, wonderfully atmospheric progressive track and when I saw that Swanson had remixed it I knew my search was over. To me, the original is a night spent watching cooking tutorial videos on Youtube while Swanson’s remix is a night spent hanging out with Miley Cyrus and watching her make a fool of herself like in that one music video. So, in conclusion, Swanson remixed this track perfectly. If you enjoyed Ellie’s vocals but wanted an instrumental with a little more substance then this is it.

Electronic | Hade – Hallway
Posted by W8 on August 1, 2013
After a good month of waiting, I’m among probably 3 people in the world that anticipated this track so immensely. Hallway comes off an obscure Workspaces Compilation that I was listening to on a late night while writing my thesis ”Fingers are like little arms.”. As it plays out, this track by Hade struck me as amazing. So much so that I’ve been playing it everyday since. A few scheduling errors deterred the release even passed my already long wait, making it even better to find out today that it’s not only out, but free!
Hade simply layers a bunch of significance over top an array of ancient dubstep wobbles bringing forth a vibe all of its own. The summation on the second drop just brings it all together in an ill way. A cool soundscape that I just love.
