Hip-Hop, Rap | Daye Jack – Hello World (Video)

Posted by 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.

The Mozart of Moldova, the prince of trance, whatever you wish to call Andrei Rata, known professionally as, Andrew Rayel, it is abundantly clear the talent that is possessed by the 21 year old phenom. He has become the hottest up and coming talent in trance right now, with his tunes consistently being supported by your usual suspects of top DJs, culminating in a spectacular collab “Eiforya” alongside the trance Jesus himself, Armin van Buuren.

We were lucky enough to catch Andrew Rayel before his debut set here in NYC last Thursday and chat about being a college student, the upcoming album and much more. His set was a thing of beauty. 3 hours of nonstop action from start to finish, Rayel had a packed house all the way until the end of his set a little before 4am. His set included the fast paced styled mixing and loads of exclusive mashups that he is always making fresh, including one between “Bigfoot” and “Ping Pong” that really set the tone early on. He has become known for his gigantic melodies in the trance realm and has translated that to unofficial remixes for big time prog tracks like “In My Mind”, “Reload” and a new one “Under Control”.

His artist album that you can see the teaser art below is set to hit stores near you at the very of May. Get ready because it is going to be something very special and not your standard club fanfare you see elsewhere. This will be different. Also can anyone figure out the last word? I have “Find Your H_ _ _ O _ _” and can’t figure out the last word.

Not sure where you are in the world, but the sun is bright and shining here in NYC, and what better way to compliment these glorious vibes with some straight sex by Slinger with his cover of Prince’s “No Money.” I’ve had the track on repeat all morning and man it feels good to be a gangster. Feel the soul, feel the funk, get into this one, I’m straight up out here dancing at my desk like nobody’s watching, and I have no clue who Slinger is. The man only has one 1 track up! This is a must listen and I can’t wait to hear more!

Live City - Slingshot

Live City have been on tear lately and it culimates in the release of “Slingshot” via Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire Recordings. Their relationship with Tommie goes well beyond a few signed records, they have done a ton of tracks together and Tommie has been a sensei to them. This acid influenced fireball has been supported by some bug names like Marcus Schossow, Sander van Doorn and Benny Benassi all supporting in person. Grab this tune and head out to see them at Slake on the 18th if you are in NYC.

Mikey Wax - You Lift Me Up (Live City Remix)

This is a two for one post. Ethan of Live City in sending this over to me, predicted that the original is going to be huge this year, a surefire soundtrack for commercials very soon. I won’t disagree with him there, and neither will I disagree with his rendition of the tune, adding an upbeat progressive twist to Mikey Wax’s work. This is perfect for your weekend. If you are in NYC, go and check them our with the Disco Fries and Aire Atlantica at Slake on the 18th. It is going to be a wild time.
