With what I’m expecting to be a banger of a single coming next week, Timeflies deliver yet another slow jam. This week’s installment, a cover of A Great Big World’s, “Say Something”. Like the New York made indie pop/rock duo, A Great Big World, Cal and Rez tackle this mellow piano ballad, but as always, they add an extra pinch of seasoning. Enjoy this one before they turn up next week with their brand new single, “All The Way”.
Events | Steve Aoki: Winter White @ SJSU 1/30 and Cal Poly 1/31
Posted by Nick on January 12, 2014
Steve Aoki, one of the biggest artists in the game today, owner of Dim Mak Records, is about to have probably one of the craziest weekends of his career, playing not just one, but TWO college campuses in a row. The good people over at Collective Effort Events hooked it up once again, bringing not only Steve, but also Dzeko & Torres, Bones, and John Beaver to San Jose, in addition to AutoErotique and Max Styler to SLO.
These performances are not ones you want to miss. Think about it: Aoki shows are already filled with champagne showers, crowd rafting, and of course, the famous birthday caking – now add a couple thousand college students, and you get one of the most nuts environments you could possibly imagine. Even if you’re not a fan of Steve Aoki (and I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be), you should get a ticket just for the experience.
Find tickets for the SJSU venue HERE and for Cal Poly HERE. If you’re an SJSU student, go to the Event Center box office for a discount, and if you’re a Cal Poly student, go to the Mustang Ticket Office.
Get stoked, get ready, and no excuses if you aren’t there. In the meantime, check out Steve’s unreal cake-throwing aim in slow motion below.

Sometimes Timeflies Tuesday is a new joint you can ride to. Sometimes it’s a tranquil track you can make babies (or non babies) to. Sometimes it’s both. This week Cal and Rez take on Passenger’s 2012 hit, “Let Her Go”. I’m not going to come out and say Cal has the voice of Passenger’s front man, Mike Rosenberg, but they do put one hell of a spin on this international chart topper.

If you didn’t see Timeflies twisting the chart topping track, “Timber”, you aren’t paying close enough attention. Pitbull, Ke$ha, and producers Dr. Luke, Sermstyle, & Cirkut may have rode this radio hit to the top of the charts, but Rez and Cal just demolished this remix. Cal. Goes. IN.

Hits on hits on hits. After their first notable, Billboard single, “I Choose U”, Timeflies deliver the second official release a week before their Warning Signs EP hits digital shelves. Laced with radio ready rhymes and a electro-pop production, this song may very well be making a run at Billboard’s top 40. Cal has always proven he can sing, but he really embraces his rnb/pop sound on this track and delivers one feel good sing-along for the fans. Warning Signs EP, 10/14.

Electro, House, Pop | Timeflies – I Choose U (Fedde Le Grand Remix)
Posted by Grubeats on June 3, 2013
Add another one to the books. Timeflies newest radio ready hit single, “I Choose U” evidently trickled into the lab of Fedde le Grand, who remixed the electro-pop track into a heavier house hit. Adding powerful drum work and swooning synths behind Cal’s vocals and extending the already addictive drop just brought this track from six to midnight. The purity of Cal’s vocals really hold up nicely as the Dutch Commander maintains a uniform balance of added production and authenticity of the original record. Enjoy this preview for now until the official remix his Beatport in the near future. Also, be sure to cop the original single (visuals below) by Timeflies on iTunes.
