Green Velvet and Detlef Pop on Punchy Bassick EP with Their Techno-infused House Anthems

Legendary Chicago DJ/producer Green Velvet is known for his sharp, punchy house-laced techno beats. And so is his “Bassick” EP partner Detlef. Just hark back to old school electronic music where American dance anthems like “Percolater” and “Flash” by Green Velvet ruled. Now fast forward to the house-infused disco bravado of the 2017 single “Swagon” by Greek producer Detlef to witness that same tradition. The two certainly complement each other with their attention-grabbing musical styles.

On EP opener “Alright”, we’re presented with fiercely intoxicating house grooves that shuffle along and then climax to melodic techno sounds perfect for peak-hour dance floor action. Although possessing a retro feel, the track certainly fits within the progressive house music realm of today. “Issues” goes into deep and dark tribal terrain with its sinister vibe and enticing techno funk topped off with sassy, reading-you-your-rights lyrics to boot like “..it’s not me...it’s you...and I don’t want to waste my time and energy anymore...you’ve got issues.” Green Velvet and Detlef take us back to classic Chicago house territory by flaunting thumping bass lines and rich rhythms on the “Jack Da Beat” club banger.

“Bassick” is certainly a nice treat for house heads and EDM enthusiasts. Green Velvet and Detlef showcase how sometimes two opposing genres like house and techno can live together harmoniously. And that is indeed a wonderful thing.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
