Timeflies Tuesday - I Took A Pill In Ibiza

New Timeflies Song “Once In A While” Out Now! Buy: http://smarturl.it/OIAW Stream: http://smarturl.it/OINAW_Spotify Follow Timeflies: https://twitter.com/tim...

So I’ve always loved Timeflies... fell in love with them freshmen year. I went on YouTube today and this video popped up in my recommended feed so I thought “why not I’ll listen to it”.... and it’s actually REALLY GOOD. 

Timeflies mixes Mike Posner’s new song with one of his older hits & it just sounds magical. Way to go, I fell back in love with you two.

#TRACKONREPEAT

The track that is on this repeat this week? Valentino Khan’s Ultra set! I’m slowly making my way around all the live sets and although I absolutely LOVE The Chainsmokers, Jauz’s, and DJ Snake’s... I have overplayed those for weeks and came across this one today and LET ME TELL YOU IT’S AMAZING & will most definitely be track on repeat for the next two weeks, whoops ;)

I HAVE REACHED THE FINISH LINE

Have you ever worked on a homework assignment for 7 months straight? Well I can finally say that the longest, most stressful, academic assignment I have ever had to curate in my entire collegiate life is finally complete.

After spending seven long months of research, observing concertgoers at The Middle East, and interviewing fans on this single topic, my senior thesis is finally finished. Happy to have handed this sixty page baby in this week and although it was hell, I couldn’t be happier with not only how it turned out- but with what I have learned and taken from the entire experience.

Cheers to myself for this one because I survived (oh & you should really check this out it’s an amazing case study, let me know if you want to read it)

Marshmello - Keep it Mello ft. Omar LinX

Have you seen Marshmello’s newest music video? Because there is SMORE many DJ’s in it... how many can you count?

Because I spy Dillon Francis, Getter, Ghastly, Mija, Ookay, Kayzo and Yultron, but I’m sure there are more that I can’t recognize.

TBH I think this video is hilarious- check it out for yourself!

#GoviaRadio just posted this on Facebook yesterday, even though it’s an interview from a couple years ago.. check it out because it TRULY is a great interview with Bassnectar’s opinion on DJ’s!

“I want the end result to be amazing. For myself, I’m obsessive. I’m an obsessive creative person so I work the whole time and make myself dive deep into the music, and I open up as many options as I can creatively but I’m not going to judge if somebody wants to take another route it’s really everyone’s decision and life it so short to sit around hating someone cause you they’re not DJ-ing the way you want them to DJ- go hang out in Syria for a week and tell me why this is a problem.” -Lorin

Honestly there is nothing but love from this man and he deserves nothing less than what he gives us! Can't even put into words how much I respect Lorin especially with how big he is, keep doing you, Lorin!

Avicii’s retirement... 

Now we all know that last week, he shared with the virtual world a letter explaining that this is his last year with music and that he is going to retire. #MIXMAG released an article telling us why and it’s extremely mind blowing. 

Think about it, Avicii averaged one set every week from January 2011 to January 2016... resulting to 220 DJ sets in 261 weeks. 

The article says, “Avicii’s exhaustion only took a further toll in 2013 when he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis due to alcoholism, leading to surgery to remove his gallbladder. According to a statement given to GQ, performances made him “so nervous” that he turned to alcohol in order to give him the “encouragement and self-confidence” needed to execute. These aspects, combined with his willingness to spend more than 60 hours a time in the studio, led to a subsequent need to quit altogether.”

So I understand, he needs a break.. hopefully he’ll be back though!

Why Rave?

Eat. Sleep. Rave. Repeat! Why is it that raves continue to attract so many people across the world?

“You are able to let loose, you are able to forget about all the worries of school, work, life, and for maybe only a couple of hours; you are able to be free. “

Honestly I don’t understand why people are saying the “EDM is dying” because it is SUCH a beautiful and amazing community and culture that has JUST made it into the “mainstream” media light. 

“You see the crowd at a whole different perspective, you see that everyone is smiling and laughing, hugging each other, singing the lyrics at the top of their lungs. You can't help but feel happy. It may even be the happiest you've been in years. Your favorite artist notices you on the stranger's shoulders and gives you a thumbs up. That's it, you say, I found a place where I can completely be myself, worry free, and stress-free.”
