Electro | FTampa – Time Police Ft. Troll

Posted by on May 3, 2012

I believe that FTampa is one of the more underrated producers in electronic music, this bumping Electro tune is further support of that statement. This track goes hard, making for an epic dance track. Troll’s vocals remind me of the lead singer from The Killers, which is a huge plus for this track. FTampa never disappoints in my mind, get to know him.

Alternative | The Waves – Good Man’s Brain

Posted by on May 1, 2012


Hello all, I’m Joseph Salzer, and I’m a hip-hop blogger. So this is very strange for me. But here I am, posting a band, on Fresh New Tracks. All pleasantries aside, this song is fabulous. What really draws me in the lead singer’s vocals, and how they work perfectly with the dual guitar. But the main highlight is the lead vocals, going from falsetto to chest voice effortlessly while making everything sound perfect is no easy feat. I’m going to go ahead and categorize this under “Alternative” because I don’t know what else to place it under. Every time I hear One Direction on the radio from now on, I’m going to be asking myself why bands like them our famous, and bands like this have 1,000 views on youtube.

House, Pop | Calvin Harris Feat. Ne-Yo – Lets Go (Incl. Calvin Harris Remix)

Posted by on April 27, 2012

Calvin Harris is rising to the level of global superstar as a Dj / producer / writer / singer, and is incredibly talented at all of these. This whole package has not available until a day or two ago and for some reason this track has not really caught on for commercial success. Just give it some time. The original / radio mix is his next “We Found Love” with simple verses and a catchy hook and an upbeat, poppy instrumental. The Calvin Harris remix is for the people who want more Calvin Harris and less Ne-Yo as Calvin Harris elongates the song and adds more of an EDM flare to it.

DO SOMETHING

Exclusive | Max Burnside- Do You Wanna (Remix)

Posted by on April 19, 2012


Getting hit up multiple times via Twitter with a submission is the worst. Bloggers like myself know it all too well. If you’re persistent enough, we may just break down and listen to the song. Up and coming producer-singer-songwriter Max Burnside made me do just that, and I’m happy I gave it a chance, reminding us all that persistence often pays off. Recently finishing runner up in Deadmau5’s “Mau5hax” competition, Max recently dropped his “I’m NO DJ” EP that has steadily been climbing the blogosphere. Today, he drops off an exclusive remix of Mike Posner’s “Do You Wanna” for the FreshNewTracks nation, incorporating jazzy horns and saucy synths sure to get the party started. If you like what you hear, download his EP below.

It’s always gratifying finding a diamond in the ruff after searching aimlessly through Twitter, Facebook, and emails for hours, in search of music that is completely new to my ears.  Josh Osho is the diamond.  A 20-year old London born singer/songwriter plotting the release of his debut EP due out May 14th.  Breaking out with his first single featuring Mr. Glover as Childish Gambino, Osho’s bold vocals meet the hard bars of Bino for a perfect balance of pop, alternative, and hip-hop.

Hip-Hop | The Dean’s List – Youth (ft. Sid Sriram)

Generation X, The Dean’s List’s upcoming mixtape, is set to release later this month and I’m pretty excited since we haven’t heard much since The Drive In. They recruit soulful singer, Sid Sriram for the hook and man does he kill it. Great production from Mik and Mendoza, while Sonny goes in and throws some dope lines. Make sure you look back for the tape.

Hip-Hop | Sunny & Reeves (of Aer) – We ‘Bout Love/M.I.A.

Posted by on January 22, 2012

What do we have here? Are one of my favorite indie/hip-hop bands splitting? Luckily no, but the dudes of Aer decided to do some solo projects. First we have Sunny, or David who is the singer, going in over Rihanna’s radio anthem “We Found Love”. Secondly is Reeves, or Carter who handles the rapping, going in on a Soulja Boy beat, which I can’t tell you because i haven’t dabbled into Soulja Boy’s music…I know it’s a shame, sorry. Anyways cop these tracks and look back for more things from Aer.
