Electro-House, Progressive House | Steve Aoki ft. Polina – Come With Me (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on February 19, 2013
The traveling entertainer / aspiring Olympic trampolinist / raver rafter / cake sniper, Steve Aoki has finally released the remix package for single with Polina “Come With Me”. The Pierce Fulton remix that was previewed a long time ago at last gets its release by Steve Aoki and the gang at Ultra Records with its quick electro bursts and driving bass line. The Jidax remix gets a rerelease from the Wonderland remix album and it is my favorite of the bunch with its blistering synths and punchy low end. Both Lazy Rich and up and comer Deorro put their own unique electro spin on the track with powerful grinding low ends. Doorly comes in with the heaviest interpretation of the track with bass heavy, growling dubstep remix.

Electro-House, Exclusive, Featured, Preview | Dido – No Freedom (Benny Benassi Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 31, 2013
For those who didn’t know, the legendary Dido is releasing a new album, “Girl That Got Away” March 4th. Featured on the deluxe version of the album is this sick Electro-House remix from Benny Benassi that we have been given the opportunity to premiere to our fans today. I think my favorite thing about this remix is you can see how Benny has successfully adapted his style to the styles that are becoming more and more popular. Benny and Dido have been members of the music world for a long time and the fact that they can come through with great tracks still is incredible.
Apparel | Knot Belt Co KickStarter Campaign
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 28, 2013
Sometimes FreshNewTracks isn’t just about, well, fresh new tracks. And sometimes friends of FreshNewTracks are looking to accomplish huge feats that require help. Well this is where those two roads converge. If you’re a long-time loyal FNT fan, you may remember the gig I did about Knot Belt Co in the past. If not, you’ll get a nice introduction above/below.
Nick Manella of Knot Belts is trying to blow his side project out of the water by pushing his belts and accessories into full production mode. I’m here to help him and help you. The video will fill you in on the details, but there’s nothing like a product that has been made with passion. You can’t tell me you’d wear a belt made in China over a belt made here in the states…
If you’re feeling adventurous, charitable, or intelligent, make a pledge on KickStarter and help bring quality belts to the masses.
Albums, Review, Trance | Dash Berlin – #musicislife
Posted by Mach on April 27, 2012
#musicislife, what I hope to be one of the most used hash-tags today. At the moment I am writing this it is Thursday still and I am only 3 tracks in and my mind is completely blown. Dash Berlin is a legend when it comes to vocal Progressive Trance. Armada music must be celebrating this albums success already and it’s not even released yet.
Now this where I have finished listening to this album. I am completely speechless, this was one of the most incredible albums I have listened to in a long time. It is insulting for me to have any favorites from this, each track is amazing on its own. If I was held at gun point my top 5 would be ‘Better Half Of Me,’ ‘Silence In Your Heart,’ ‘Go It Alone,’ ‘Like Plates Spinning,’ and ‘Fool For Life.’ The 5 tracks cut me deep, the emotions of them are almost overwhelming which is why I chose them. To give a run down on all the different vocalists featured on this album would take ages. With that said though, it is incredible how many different great female and male vocalists were featured on this. Including the amount of artists that Dash collaborated with. From now on when people ask me for good Trance, I will just tell them to listen to this entire album.
Hip-Hop | A-Trak – Piss Test (ft. Juicy J & Danny Brown)
Posted by dshaq on March 27, 2012
Before I say anything, DOWNLOAD THIS SONG NOW! PAY THE .99 CENTS AND SUPPORT GOOD MUSIC! The man A-Trak recruits Taylor Gang’s Juicy J and label mate, Danny Brown, for this beautiful rap song. A-Trak makes sweet sweet love to this beat combining some bass heavy synths and great drums which really accentuate Juicy and Danny’s verses. I’ve really been digging Juicy lately, especially with his verses on Taylor Alderddice and Macadelic, but he goes in on this one and well, anything Danny Brown is on he kills. This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long long time, totally serious. Hit the comments up to tell us your thoughts about this track.
Electro, Freestyle, Hip-Hop, House, Rap, Throwbacks | Snoop Dogg and Soundcloud: A Love Story
Posted by Spice on March 20, 2012
A few days ago, Snoop Dogg was handed a slip of paper that would change the face of the modern world forever. On it were the username and password to a Soundcloud account — an account long forgotten and gathering dust, an account more unloved and underutilized than so many Myspace pages of yore. We don’t know how this account came into existence (from the looks of page 7, it was set up by his management team about a year ago), but these details are unimportant now. Because for whatever reason, on this fated March morning, Snoop Dogg set out to make his Soundcloud the greatest effing Soundcloud on the planet.
I’m not kidding when I say that. This is one of the most epic and entertaining things I’ve come across in a long time. My running theory is that Snoop Dogg hit 47 js and then parked himself in front of his computer for 15 hours, just uploading without so much as a bathroom break. I’ve been sitting at work going through this thing and it’s literally a goldmine — there are rough cuts, studio outtakes, instrumentals that are far from finished, remakes of some of his older tracks, and then total curve balls like this hour long disco-funk-electro-tinged-slow-jam-heavy mix that I can’t even do justice to in words. It’s a weird but wonderful insight into his creative process, and the best part is that everything up there is a free download. If you’ve been in need of a good Snoop Dogg fix since 2004, this is your moment. And even if you haven’t been, do yourself a favor and check his stuff out anyway. All the major musical foodgroups are covered: “SNOOPADELIC MIXX,” “BLOWFLY G SHIT,” and, of course, just…”GOOD MUSIC.”
Snoop, we’ve missed you. Welcome back to the game.
SNOOP DOGG’S SOUNDCLOUD: 5+ Pages of Straight Up SC Gold
Edit: goodness, he just uploaded like eight more tracks in the past 20 minutes. Snoop Dogg, what are you up to over there? Is this a livestream of your life? Whatever, I dig it. His SC is about to blow up like the puppy cam.
Mashups | DOSVEC – Just A Poppa
Posted by Mach on March 9, 2012
15 years ago today, the legendary Biggy Smalls was shot down in LA. Although long gone, his spirit has lived on and inspired many in the music industry. These days hes just the friend most of us wish we had. This is one of my favorite mashups from DOSVEC, it is nothing too crazy yet still sends the right message and vibes about Big Poppa. 15 years is a long time, and it was only a year ago that the FBI released their file on the cold case that is Biggy’s murder. Whether your east or west side, a fan of Tupac or B.I.G., the sun still rises and sets just the same.
