House | Eric Prydz – Pryda 028
Posted by Middy on August 5, 2014
Eric Prydz is my favorite producer, so I am biased when it comes to reviewing his material, but when he releases 4 new tracks at once, the dance world stops and listens. It isn’t just because other producers cry at how impeccable his mixdowns are, or his genius samples, but because of how innovative, fresh and timeless each track is. This 4 track is no different with addictive vocal bits throughout, notably on “Mija” and “Origins” with a nice balance of dark, brooding bass lines, not too far away from a Cirez D production and the cheery, fluttering arps and synths Pryda is so well known for.
Unfortunately for him, Porter decided to release the stream for “Worlds” yesterday, which took over the internet spotlight from this. If any of you are heading to MSG on 9/27, I hope to see you there. Let’s pray that the Pryda album gets released this year….

Review | Mike Stud – Closer [Album]
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 20, 2014
Studnation is back and it appears Mike is closer than he’s ever been with his latest album, Closer. In May, Mike released a video to let his fans know about his new album release. The teaser reflects on the journey Mike has made from being a star baseball prospect to an even bigger prospect as a musician. This album shows growth and maturity in Mike’s life and music. He is most focused on being happy and letting the success follow. Does he have room to grow and improve? Most certainly he does, but even Mike knows he has a long journey ahead of him.

Deep House, Exclusive | FNT Premiere: Ashea – Whatcha Thinkin’ (Deepmilo Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 14, 2014
The first thing that will stick out to you in this tune are the vocals. Insanely catchy, Ashea has developed a poppy sound that does not sound manufactured like many of her female peers. Working with that, London based producer, Deepmilo strips the tune back of much of its pop sensibilities for a deeper, groovier tune fit for the summer. We have the premiere right here for ya, so stream this one until it is released.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Saba – Butter
Posted by admin on July 3, 2014
People who follow my postings on Fresh New Tracks, should not be surprised to see the name, Saba, appear. The straight-firing Chicago emcee has had a constant stream of music being released over the past few weeks, each song preparing listeners even more for the final body of work it fits in to.
“Butter” is his newest song and video, which flows from his mouth to your ears as smooth as –dare I say– butter. Saba touches on his family life, and other subjects close to the heart all while keeping the song positive and an enjoyable listen.
Stream the song below, and give the video a look here, if you’re interested.
House | FNT Premiere: Kill Me Softly ft. Jane Elizabeth Hanley – Catch (Ben Macklin Remix)
Posted by Middy on June 5, 2014
Straight off of the shelves at Nude Disco Recordings (great name right?), we have the premiere of Ben Macklin’s summery remix of “Catch”. Seeping in 80s synth pop magic, bringing together Jane Elizabeth Hanley’s vocals and Kill me Softly’s fluttering chords, Ben Macklin steps in to give the tune a modern flavor, while still making it applicable your neon jumpsuit wearing, mullet sporting distant cousin. Set for release on June 16th, stream this bad boy right here until it hits stores and feel the 80s spirit wash over you.
Chill, Trap | Sia – Chandelier (ViLLAGE Remix)
Posted by BP on June 4, 2014
I don’t know if I would exactly call this trap, but that’s the general area Village can be found producing in so I popped it in there. This remix of “Chandelier” by Sia is fresh and bouncy. Sia’s singing is gorgeous as usual and flows well with Village’s bass filled banger. This track remains chill throughout while still being fun enough to be filed under party playlists around the world. There’s a link on the Soundcloud player to buy “The Touch EP”, but I can’t post it here because my US Itunes can’t open it up. If you’re in the same area as me, stream the remix below!
