Posted by admin on June 25, 2013
We here at Fresh New Tracks are excited to bring you the newest mix from none other than, DJ Smiles! The disc jockey best known for his worldwide touring with reggae-duo, Aer, has decided to liven up your summer with this epic forty-five minute mix guaranteed to get you hyped!
DJ Smiles released The State of the Come-Up this past January, featuring some of the hottest rising rappers in the game, and while we anxiously await the next volume of the series, Smiles tides us over with “Twerk Trap”. If I told you that the likes of Tyga, Trinidad Jame$, Young Jeezy, and Lil Mama, were featured on the mix, you’d probably drop what you were doing and start twerking on spot — so I won’t tell you that. But, what I will tell you is that this song-collage is well worth the near-hour you’ll be investing into it.
All of you readers are the first to listen DJ Smiles’ mix, so feel lucky, and spread the love by dropping him a comment over on Soundcloud!

Hip-Hop | Adult Swim Singles Program 2013: Run The Jewels (EL-P & Killer Mike) – 36″ Chain
Posted by Mach on June 10, 2013
Adult Swim has just kicked off their Summer Single Program for 2013. For those of you that don’t know about the program, Adult Swim throughout the year collects unreleased tracks from many artists, building a compilation that they release track by track. Today is day one of the series release, starting with a cool collaboration between El-P and Killer Mike, calling themselves Run The Jewels. The track is a future Hip-Hop style instrumental with El-P and Killer Mike gripping a tight flow over the abstraction in the beat. This is just the beginning of an incredible series, with upcoming tracks from Madlib & Freddie Gibbs, Mac DeMarco, Lil B, and even a collaboration between legendary MF DOOM & Captain Murphy (aka. Flying Lotus). No doubt this will end up being one of the most talked about compilations of the Summer. Adult Swim is not allowing a player but if you click the link below you can listen to the single on their website.

Fresh off his spring tour, Kap Slap has just made everyones summer with the announcement of a new bimonthly hour mix series entitled the “Slapcast.” Since Kap Slap started a new page in his career transitioning to original material, many of us were left concerned we’d never see his unsurpassed signature style bootlegs again. Luckily, Kap Slap has answered our prayers and released his latest mix, which features those bootlegs we love oh so much. The mix starts off HUGE with an edit from one of the most epic tracks out right now, Icona Pop’s, “I Love it.” Whether you need an hour long mix of continuous bangers for the gym, car, or parties, click the download button below and click the “more” button to see the tracklist.
Electro, Trance | Ferry Corsten – Black Light // F*ck The Bull$h1t [Preview]
Posted by Spice on May 1, 2013
2013 has been good to Mr. Corsten. Since January, he’s celebrated the 300th episode of Corsten’s Countdown and the 100th release on Flashover Recordings, has played a series of absolutely massive gigs (including Madison Square Garden), and of course launched the New World Punx with good buddy Markus Schulz. He even got a wild new ‘do — a nod to the New World Punk lifestyle, perhaps? Somehow, in the midst of all of this, he has managed to find time to hit the studio; “Black Light,” which dropped yesterday and will be immediately recognizable to anyone who’s seen Ferry live this year, is merely the first in a string of giant upcoming releases.
Simply put, “Black Light” is a banger. In the grand tradition of much of today’s trance, it borrows heavily from electro house — but to great effect. The hook is dark and ominous, the bassline packs a serious punch, and the fact that it all goes down at 132 bpm gives the track an added urgency. I’m also loving how the pitch on the leads drops off — very reminiscent of “Mammoth,” which has been a mainstay in Ferry’s recent live sets. If you’re loving “Black Light,” look for “F*ck The Bull$h1t” to hit Beatport on May 17th — it features a stirring, eerie, almost yearning hook and a drop that’s totally unexpected and built to get you in the zone. F*ck the bull$h1t indeed.

Cover, Videos | PropaneLv – Get Lucky (Daft Punk & Pharrell Cover)
Posted by Jess on April 26, 2013
Occasionally PropaneLv’s cover series strays away from it’s hip hop/RnB core for an interesting crossover piece. With Pharrell Williams on the track, Daft Punk’s new single was an obvious opportunity to do just that. Not bad!
