Hip-Hop, Rap | Pusha T – Sweet Serenade (ft. Chris Brown)
Posted by admin on August 29, 2013
Here we have some brand new Pusha T, courtesy of his Soundcloud. Featuring Chris Brown, this song definitely has some radio potential. Both Chris and Pusha are Virginia natives, making the collaboration come naturally. Pusha’s new album My Name Is My Name will be in stores October, and “Sweet Serenade” definitely gives us some reason to look forward to it.
The song has a “ride-around” vibe and the full choir vocals used in the instrumental give the song an almost eery sound. Take a listen to the song below and for an in-depth look at what Pusha T is saying, check out the lyric breakdown on Rap Genius, here.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Drop City Yacht Club – Hey You
Posted by admin on August 4, 2013
Best known for their radio single, “Crickets” featuring Jeremih, Drop City Yacht Club has returned to show us they aren’t just your average hiphop group. Spinning off the classic Nas track, “I Can”, DCYC reconstructs his hook from: “I know I can, be what I want to be” to “I know I am, fresh as I wanna be”. The light, yet swagger-filled hook, in addition to three verses from Kristo, A.Wolf and THX make for a fun song to jam out to on any occasion.
Drop City is heading out on tour with rap legends, The Goodie Mob this fall so be sure to check out their dates and stop in for a show if you’re in the area. Enjoy and watch Drop City Yacht Club continue to build up buzz as they progress in their music.

Posted by J_Salzer on August 1, 2013
Absolutely fabulous, radio ready single released by FNT favorite, KYLE. This song will be huge, amassing over ten thousand views over a few hours. I would suggest reading taking the trip over to KYLE’s soundcloud and checking out the note he included with the release of this song. He sums it up better than I ever could. This could be the song of the summer #FACT. Download it below, buy it on iTunes and be on the lookout for Beautiful Loser dropping on Monday. Super shoutout to the man Nolan for the terrific artwork seen in the soundcloud widget below.
House, Mix, Trance | Select Tomorrowland 2013 Sets
Posted by Middy on August 1, 2013
Tomorrowland has come and gone. It is still with all of those who were there and they would probably do anything to go back. Luckily for those who were there and those who weren’t, Tomorrowland caught it all on camera and on radio to help us relive it. Here are a few select sets that help exemplify the madness that went down in Boom. More after the jump.
Pop, RnB | Chaka Khan ft Lecrae – It’s Not Over
Posted by VMan on July 22, 2013
This might be a first for Fresh New Tracks, but I’m a fan of this record, and felt the need to share. Chaka Khan is a legend, and this track is just too dope. If only Kanye used another sample of hers on Yeezus, like he did with “Through the Wire,” maybe it would have sold more copies, and gone more mainstream, but not my problem at the moment… Chaka Khan still has it and I’m loving it! LeCrae is the man as well, he hops on this track with that TI swag, that Drake flow, and keeps it all positive. So if you’re feeling down, and you want some uplifting music, this track is a Must Listen!

And on another note, New York City’s own DJ Prime sent over this remix the other day for his latest single “So Fly” featuring Oh Snap!! , and it’s been creeping up on me. Suraci turned this radio pop banger into a sexy club track for the Summer. I strongly suggest you check this track out. Nothing but a good time!
Electro, Trap | Wave Racer FBi Minimix
Posted by mimada on July 11, 2013
Where do I even start with this mix… like hold the phone, WOAH. Ima take a quick second to explain to you what happened the first time I heard about this Australian DJ. See that picture above? That was it. The moment the sound waves in “Rock U Tonite” hit me, I was transported into distant land of dolphins, topless Jeeps, girls in 80’s vintage swimsuits and rainbows. Lots of rainbows. It’s possible I even shed a tear. That picture above isn’t some artist’s rendition of my experience, but rather Wave Racer’s Soundcloud user photo. He took me there. And it was awesome.
Anyways, Wave Racer crafted this mix for the Sydney-based radio station FBi 94.5, who described it as…
… [A] melodic treacle drizzling over sweet vocoder that melts like honeycomb in the mouth. All resting on a bed of dense synthcake and thick yet brittle percussion. It’s music too delectable to refuse.

I know that’s a lot to handle (who knows what those upside down Aussies are on these days) so lemme break it down for you. You’ll happen to notice the tracklist doesn’t include any of Wave Racer’s own songs. This mix, rather, is more of a compilation of some of his biggest inspirations (see: Cashmere Cat and Rustie) as well as artists with a similar style who are, essentially, artists you should get to know.
Overall, this mix, and all the artists featured on it, rock. It’s vivacious, it’s psychedelic, it’s carefree, and even at times, it gets a little sensual. Just another example of the thunder DJs are packing down under. Take note.

Electro-House | Krewella – Live For The Night
Posted by Middy on July 8, 2013
By now, you have probably heard Krewella’s latest single “Live For The Night”, the lead single from their debut artist album on Columbia Records coming in the Fall. It has all the makings of being the next “Alive” with an accessible, yet aggressive enough to remain true to Krewella instrumental and catchy lyrics — the ideal fit for a lead single. With the support of a major label and its sound, you can expect to hear this bad boy to have some heavy presence on the radio as the general populace eventually grows tired of “Alive” (it does happen, even if radio can’t seem to get the message).
