RnB | Get To Know Soulful Singer/Songwriter Marie Lang with smooth new single “Comfort Zone”
Posted by VMan on October 8, 2019
Hailing from Vienna, Austria, Marie Lang discovered her love for music at an early age, which led her to relocate to Boston in 2012 to attend Berklee College of Music. Going through adolescence in the early 2000s, it is no surprise that the artist’s melodies pay subtle tribute to her childhood idols Destiny’s Child and Lauryn Hill. Her new single is an ode to these influences as well as navigating adult relationships. “Comfort Zone” Lang shares, “whether it’s about the wrong timing or feeling like something is missing. Which I feel can be a common feeling after college, at least for me because it’s been such a transformative time where I sometimes haven’t really figured out what I want out of something,” when speaking about her relationships which have inspired the single and the entire EP. This one is a must-listen!
House | Pep & Rash – Fatality (Quintino Edit)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 24, 2014
This is for all you kids in the chat box with absolutely zero taste in dance music. You know, the one’s who b*tch and moan about there not being enough progressive house slash brostep posted. I’ve pretty much had it with progressive house at this point but Quintino’s edit of Pep & Rash’s “Fatality” is a huge tune. There’s just no getting around it. The video is horrendous, but it doesn’t matter. Spinnin’ Records continues to pump out hit after hit. Incredible really. Pick this up on Beatport below.

Hip-Hop, Rap | EaSWay – Younger (prod. Kygo)
Posted by FilthyTaft on May 8, 2014
Young college rapper EaSWay just dropped his amazing new single, “Younger.” “Younger” is a song that embodies what music is about. Music should be about memories and moments, not social norms and unrealistic shadows of societal standards that continue to plague and linger over the music and entertainment world as a whole. “Younger” transcends time and it can take you back to a certain memory or place in time and it can also make you think of and hope for a positive future. With underlying lyrics reminding everyone to take advantage of every moment in life and encouraging people not to take their time on this earth for granted, Younger is a piece that reminds us what life is really all about.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Daye Jack – Hello World (Video)
Posted by admin on April 30, 2014
Making his first appearance on Fresh New Tracks is Atlanta local, Daye Jack. After turning down a scholarship to play college soccer, Jack packed his bags for the city and has been studying and working at NYU since. Jack’s style is hard to pinpoint and shifts between soulful and hard hip-hop. His freshman mixtape, Hello World showcases a versatility that many veterans aspire to.
With the budding talent coming from Atlanta from artists such as Raury and Young Thug, it’s hard to not see Daye Jack fitting right in to the blossoming music scene.
Events | Bounce Boat Prepares For Inaugural Voyage in 2014 With The Chainsmokers
Posted by Middy on March 7, 2014
Though the boat party headlines are taken up by Holy Ship, Groove Cruise and now Mad Decent, in NYC, we have Bounce Boat, that may not be as long a voyage, but for a great night at sea, it goes above & beyond the call of duty. Bounce Boat will be hitting the high seas on its traditional luxury liner, Hornblower Infinity with an increased capacity of 1,200 people. The Hornblower Infinity is one of the most impressive boats on the Hudson: equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system, a fully sound-integrated LED light system, and spacious facilities on all three floors and the Skydeck.
On the 4th, the Campus DJ tour will be boarding the ship, as they attempt to find the best DJ on your college campus. They have brought along The Chainsmokers as the guest headliner to play alongside Sean Glass, Goshfather & Jinco and potentially you (if you are a DJ in college). Riding the #Selfie craze to a rather unexpected level stardom in the pop realm, The Chainsmokers are on the tip of everybody’s tongue, from Access Hollywood to Ryan Seacrest. Chipotle will be providing food aboard the ship, which begins boarding at 6:30, departs at 8pm from Pier 40 and returns at midnight. Grab your tickets here.
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.
