Hip-Hop, Rap | GoldLink – Creep
Posted by admin on October 24, 2013
It’s been a minute (or three) since we’ve last seen GoldLink. The VA resident tore the internet down with his Kaytranada remix of “On&On”, but has since been quiet, plotting his next move. It appears that the next move has been made, and in the wake of the new TLC album and movie, GoldLink has unleashed a smashing remix of hit song, “Creep”.
This young emcee has a knack for calling out those who wronged or challenged him, and it seems that “Creep” is a reconciliation of just about every mishap relationship he’s had over the past few years.
The soulful melody, and old-school vibe is a bit of a different style for GoldLink, but he manages to hold his own and pay the necessary respect within the song. Enjoy and download for free below, and be sure to follow GoldLink on twitter to keep up.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap | No Trace – Hear Me (Official Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on October 20, 2013
A group that I have been following for awhile, No Trace, released their newest visuals for a standout track off of their sophomore mixtape, The Wake Up Call. When I first posted their music, I posted it on the grounds of potential. Now, the two high school sophomores have made the leap from amateur to doing something special. However, they still have plenty of work to do to fully reach their potential. I have no doubt that they will reach it and we will see something special from them in the upcoming years. If you missed their mixtape, grab it here. Sorry I’m late on the video, but it was too good to go unposted. Keep checking back on Fresh New Tracks for the latest on this young group’s progression.
Videos | Vuk Lazar – Queen of Clubs (Nadia Ali Medley)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 17, 2013
Full disclosure: I used to have a huge crush on Nadia Ali in high school. No lie, I thought she was going to be my princess. I never her made her mine, but I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for anything Nadia Ali. When I received Vuk Lazar’s track from Night Focus Managements’ Stefan and I was impressed. Impressed enough to take the time to post this. Vuk Lazar, so hot right now. Vuk Lazar.
Progressive House | Passion Pit, Woodkid – Run Boy Run Away (Stereoshock Official Edit)
Posted by Mel on October 7, 2013
“Just wait here, I’ll be back soon and this time, I will the bring lotion”. That’s what she said to me. I waited anxiously in my bed for her return. I had just made the switch from an Abercrombie winter jacket to a rather thin Lacoste hoodie so my confidence was at an all time high. Instead of just staring at cute girls from afar I would now stand about 10 feet back and to the left and pretend to talk to someone on the phone whilst staring at them. Things were going quite well for me you could say. After about an hour she came back with the lotion and put it on my bedside drawer. I said thanks and she left the room. My sister had used the last bit of my Cocoa Radiant, Vaseline lotion that I use exclusively on my dry hands (though I have tried it on other stuff but I just don’t like using it). I was chillen in Forever 21 by myself when I accidentally slipped and fell on some, what I can only assume was diluted yogurt and scraped my hands pretty badly so without that lotion I couldn’t even make the tip of my index finger touch the tip of my thumb and as all guys know, it’s all over at that point.
That’s what I was doing during the week of July 28th, which was the date of Stereoshock’s last edit. I think you guys can now understand why it lacked a post. The next course of action he took after our interview was releasing a new edit, this time combining Woodkid’s “Run Boy Run” with Tiesto’s remix of “Carried Away”. As with all his edits, he makes the two tracks blend together perfectly. I have also included the edit that I missed, which may be one of my favorite edits of his. Both can be downloaded for free on his Facebook.
Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Stereoshock Helps Me Get A Date, Explains The Tissues On His Desk & More
Posted by Mel on September 29, 2013
April 19th, 2012, the day started just like any other. I had woken up a few minutes later than usual and after doing the math, figured that I would miss about five minutes of my first class. I then decided to skip the whole day and stay home. As per usual when I don’t go to class, I bump it up to twice a day. Two girls were texting me at the time so I was just super busy, the time that had been allocated for me to study and do the work that I was missing was pushed aside in order to make room to mow the lawn, like my dad had asked me to days prior. I didn’t mow the lawn and instead went to Best Buy to get some Beats by Dre Studio’s. I got them, in black for some reason, came home and bumped it up once again to three times a day. After my third Klondike bar of the day, making my bi-hourly visit to Soundcloud seemed like the next obvious choice.
It was then that I became acquainted with 20 year old, New York based producer Stereoshock, or as his mother calls him Josh Cohen. I was eating some leftover chilli at the time and accidentally spilled some on my shirt but it didn’t matter, because the song I was listening to was just so good. It wasn’t an original, but it sure sounded like it. At that point forward I was aware that an edit or mashup could be more than vocals thrown over an instrumental or simply interchanging two songs drops. Stereoshock has a level of sophistication in both his edits and originals that is not seen very often. Over time we’ve become friends, and he expressed interest in an interview, so I obliged. Be warned that this interview is extremely serious. We talk about only the most important topics that other artists refuse to.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Just Juice – Heart of Steel
Posted by admin on September 23, 2013
Some of you may remember Just Juice from the feature back on Fresh New Tracks a few months ago. Having undergone a name change to ‘Just Juice’ and done some serious maturing, it’s evident that the young man’s music has come a long way. “Heart of Steel” is the leading single off of his upcoming mixtape and really showcases what the Boston native has in store.
“Heart of Steel” features a well produced old-school instrumental from Ceej and Just Juice’s signature delivery. Juice has promised to give listeners “just [him], none of the other additives or bullshit, just juice straight from the heart and soul.” So be sure to check out the song below, grab the free download and stay up to date if you’re digging the sound!
Playlists | Warm Air Vol. 2

Well folks, it’s been real. Tomorrow, Sept 22, marks the official end of summer 2013. In honor of the change in season, I present to you the second installment of my very own Warm Air mixtapes. A mix designed to ease the transition of swimsuits to sweaters and piña coladas to pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha lattes. A mix to warm you up in the cool autumn breeze, to relive the sweet memories of the past few months, and keep your spirits up and motivated as you face challenges in school, work, and everyday life. So close your eyes, and let this mix take you back to that moment on the beach where you dug a hole in the sand with your toes as you watched the sun set, or when you indulged in the most amazing 4th of July BBQ of your life, or drove around recklessly with the top down and the radio up, or the night you watched an epic fireworks spectacle with your boo thang wrapped up tight in your arms.
Remember, just because the summer is over doesn’t mean the fun is. Oh no, 2013 can and will go out with a bang. With 3 months left to go, it’s time the real fun begins.
I’d also like to dedicated this mix to one of my most beautiful friends as she turns 21 today. Hope you enjoy this mixtape as you take your first legal swigs of alcohol today, take an extra big one for me <3
Listen to this mix via 8tracks here.
