Electro | Justice – Helix (Don Diablo Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on October 21, 2011
Don Diablo adds his unique touch to this Justice track and give it a kind of old school electro feel. Don’t ask me what old school about it, it just feels old school. Oh and if you haven’t read his bio on SoundCloud, it’s hilarious:
Some people hate me, I hope more people love me. I make music. I play music and I might have killed a man in a past life. Oh and I like desserts. I am Don Diablo.

Hip-Hop | Accent – Runaround Ft. Kinetics
Posted by Mach on October 13, 2011
I love this old school sound on hip-hop. You don’t even have to follow the lyrics to know who ever is rapping is keeping it real. I did listen to the lyrics though, not really up to date on who Accent is, but I’m feeling the flow he has got going on this beat. Kinetics kills it as always. Love the hook, might be an acquired taste though. I think it’s Kinetics, but don’t hold me to it.

Hip-Hop | K-OS & Drake- Faith Part 2
Posted by ATexas on October 5, 2011
K-OS and Drake threw down to make Faith Part 2, after their first release last August, its been a long time coming. The song is set up pretty differently, knowing K-OS that’s not that bizarre. Let the first verse ride out to the guitar soul beat and the hook is wicked old school. With artists like Jay and Kanye hooking up with Otis, it seems that old school meets the newbies is not a passing trend.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Tarik – T.R.I.G.S
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 26, 2011
I’ve been waiting for this day to come for over six months. Ladies and gentleman, FreshNewTracks is proud to present Tarik’s gripping project entitled “T.R.I.G.S”. Our Hip-Hop heads will thoroughly appreciate his old-school flow over simple yet powerful beats. Although you might be familiar with a few cuts off the tape the majority of the tracks are new. Above all, this mixtape displays the versatility of this budding MC.

Dubstep | jOBOT, Oscillator Z, Chrispy, and SKisM
Posted by Mach on September 9, 2011
For those of you who have already pressed play, I know what you are thinking. I thought the same thing, “Not as heavy or dubby as I expected, but I still like it.” This track is a perfect balance of old school meets new school, great party starter.
DOWNLOAD: Stevie Wonder – Superstition (jOBOT Remix)
I love it when dubstep artist pick old school vocals to remix. Especially when they are followed by a cool, original sounding drop.

I can feel the fear that Chrispy must have meant for us to feel while listening to this HEAVY masterpiece. Watch out for that drop, it could kill you…or make you deaf.
DOWNLOAD: Chrispy – Predator (VIP)
This remix is set to release on Porter Robinson’s upcoming EP, “SPITFIRE,” Sept. 13th on Beatport. It will be the first release from Skrillex’s new label, OWSLA. This remix is insane, if dubstep artists received belts like in Karate, SKisM would be a Chuck Norris. I believe that is a real belt, if not, take it up with Chuck’s fist.

Hip-Hop | Azad Right – I’ll Be Around
Posted by GMONEY on August 9, 2011
A few months ago we introduced you to the upcoming artist Azad Right. With some very lyrically deep songs like Spiderwebs, I think the kid knack for appealing to the masses. Below is the first single off his upcoming mixtape The Time Is Right which is expected to drop in September. The beat, which was produced by Jonathan Marquez, goes old-school and samples an old Spinner’s track.
