Hip-Hop, Rap | Alex Jordahl – Go Away (Video)
Posted by admin on December 28, 2013
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the young Chicago emcee, Alex Jordahl up here on Fresh New Tracks. Jordahl has been off at school perfecting his sound, and craft while we’ve been anxiously awaiting some new music. “Go Away” is unlike almost all of what we’ve heard out of Jordahl thus far in his career. The somber, heavily-produced track is a ballad of a lost lover and the trippy visuals add in a whole other level of depth.
I highly recommend giving the video and song a try, and let Alex know what you think!

The Chicago producer that is Bartek Urbanek aka BEAR TOOTH, all caps everything, remixed Betty Who’s “Somebody Loves You” into a catchy synth-pop nu-disco record that’s going to bring you back to the 80’s all in the comfort of your home. The track’ll makes you want to throw on an old school neon Adidas track suit, headband and all, and dance crazy. If you’re not seeing it, you’re missing out on the party. Be sure to grab the free download, and include this one in your Friday night playlist. This is a must listen and a must download!

Events, Preview | Flosstradamus & Alex Young @ The Warfield, 12/20/13 (UPDATE: SOLD OUT)
Posted by Nick on December 14, 2013
If you’re out in the bay for the holiday season, then you need to find yourself a ticket to Flosstradamus’ performance at the Warfield on 12/20. Of course, these guys are some of the OG trap artists who really helped the electronic sub-genre take flight, and if you don’t live under a rock, they probably don’t need much of an introduction; however, one of their opening acts for the evening who I do think deserves a little more love (though he has been getting some serious props recently from major players across the industry) is Alex Young. If you haven’t already heard of him, here’s why you should get excited about his set next Friday:
Alex is definitely a unique artist in the game right now. At just 16, this kid’s already played for thousands of people at multi-day festival events, and he’s not even out of high school yet. With a youthful perspective backing him up, his sound embodies a versatile dynamic that has the power to make you get on your feet and go crazy, or just mug it in your car while you throw your seat back, one hand on the wheel; even though he won’t be – he just started driving. There’s clearly a lot of energy coming for this guy, and if you can, you’re going to want to try and catch some of it in San Francisco. If you haven’t already, check out his latest track “SWTRWTHR” that premiered a couple weeks ago with a free download. Don’t forget to snag a ticket from stubhub or elsewhere – it’s sold out! Come get based with us.
PS – stay on the lookout for an exclusive FNT interview with Alex, coming soon!

Bass, Deep House | NVOY – Perspire
Posted by mimada on December 5, 2013
Just a minute late on this but NVOY’s style is so fresh, I’m not even phased. Last week the Nottingham duo dropped “Perspire,” which, compared to the tracks I’ve shared with you before, takes things to a level one deeper. Their touch on old school house vibes give it something that makes it sound brand new all over again. Give yourself some room to dance for this one.

Electro, Hip-Hop, RnB | 50 Cent – In Da Club (WoodysProduce Remix)
Posted by yabishcic on November 27, 2013
Even though WoodysProduce actually created the beat back in 2005, he’s taken it upon us to finally release the song as an official remix. Old school jam – new school feel. That is all.

Devin Miles from Pittsburgh releases visuals for his track “GTA (What They Want).” Miles spits a cool rap over a minimalist beat with some hard drums and low bass. This is some straight raw new school hip hop! Bounce to it, must listen!
Pop | Katy Perry – Unconditionally (Nick* New Wave Remix) + One Direction Remix
Posted by Mel on October 27, 2013
I’m not sure if I’ve told you guys yet, but I love pop music. Katy Perry has been a favorite of mine since “Teenage Dream” and even though I wasn’t a huge fan of “Roar”, I still had hope that one day we would be a thing. That’s only a joke of course because I’m 19 and she is older than 21 which is my cut off. People older than 21 freak me out. I can’t tell whether they want to date me or tuck me into bed at night and tell me it’s okay to be a little below average. It’s a shame really, because when I first heard her latest single “Unconditionally” it was right up there with the time that guy stood at the urinal directly next to me even though there was like 5 available ones as one of the highlights of my week (I think he even took a peek but I can’t be sure). So, what do I think of the track you ask? I don’t know. I just woke up from a nap so I’m super grumpy. I drank a whole thing of Kool-Aid last night it was crazy. I have only heard it twice I believe. Once while driving to work and again while leaning on the window ledge shirtless seductively making eye contact with high school girls who walk by my house.
I thought the original was fantastic but that was only until I heard this remix. Quite honestly, this should be the original track. It has a certain cinematic aspect behind it that makes the vocals burst and the whole track overall feel more powerful. The producer behind this remix goes by remixedbynick, or Nick*, I actually don’t know because his branding is slightly confusing. It doesn’t matter though because girls love Nicks… big Nicks… Nick has gotten a following by remixing pop songs into slightly different and usually better pop songs. He likes One Direction too, as do I, so I’m also posting his remix of their hit song “Kiss You”. God I love that song. I realize that this post will make me appear less of a man but here’s one thing that bodes well in my favour: When I was 15 my family went to the zoo during Christmas and my mom asked me to wear a scarf. I told her no, I didn’t want to because that’s girly. She got mad at me and forced me to wear it the whole time we were there. I was then called gay by passing by middle schoolers.
