3 EDM Artists to Try if You're Curious About the Kandy

The Rave Wave is a spectrum; while the head banging community is largely known for its more extreme activities (i.e. the Flume video that recently went viral…), there are EDM fans who go without the colorful bracelets, Pashminas and whip its! If you've ever wondered just what it is that has festival kids with light whips and masks following laser shows around the country, I've made it easy for you!! Here are 3 EDM artists that are sure to have you feeling a little heady.

1. Whethan

Or, as he is known by his endearing fans, Wheat Thin! This 20 year old bust through the Chicago DJ scene at a very young age. Since his collaboration with Dua Lipa made the "Fifty Shades Freed" soundtrack, Whethan has been on tour for his own album, "Life of a Wallflower." This broody, sarcastic kid makes some really hype beats, so if you're trying to let your inner angst out, might I suggest visiting his artist page (linked above) or any of the recommended songs below.

Good Nights (ft. Mascolo)

Superlove (ft. Oh Wonder)

https://open.spotify.com/track/0lchLc0vSyRRqKSPIkF...

Aftertaste (ft. Opia)

https://open.spotify.com/track/2iUb7DLswcEXEmsdD878no?si=jG7pbqlDRdGYJ8jkgDpanA

2. Louis the Child

https://open.spotify.com/artist/7wg1qvie3KqDNQbAkT...

If you're already tapping your foot, here is a group with a slightly more intricate production. Duo Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett (also from Chicago) started this collaboration in 2013, but it was their 2017 album "Love Is Alive" that put Louis the Child on every mainstream EDM playlist. Whereas Whethan works with more nostalgic energies, Louis the Child tackles situational art from a more abstract angle, creating an empowering and energetic experience that is sure to leave you feeling cool and colorful. Many of their songs have broken out on the radio, so don't be surprised if you recognize some of their tracks.

Too Close (with Wrabel)

https://open.spotify.com/track/2B5uUYyiDpFCgEGdbVp...

Better Not (ft. Wafia)

https://open.spotify.com/track/7n1940b6kHcaEewFSZX...

Slow Down Love (ft. Chelsea Cutler)

https://open.spotify.com/track/0z95CqBxQnSQhNnoWTZ...

3. Odesza

https://open.spotify.com/artist/21mKp7DqtSNHhCAU2u...

If you are a fan of live music, you can't be surprised this group rounds out the list. If you consider yourself such a connoisseur and you have never had the pleasure of experiencing Odesza, stop right now and watch the link below. This is a small YouTube behind the scenes video of their 2018 Coachella performance; to fully appreciate what they are doing, it is imperative you see a snippet of their production.

Founded by college friends Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, this epic ensemble has transformed the electronic music scene. Odesza's two most recent albums "In Return" (2013) and "A Moment Apart" (2017) are especially extraordinary experience art pieces that deserve to be considered as meditational tools rather than pure entertainment. What is even more incredible about Odesza is the collective show the entire group puts on. The squad (including an entire drum-line) just finished its over-two-year tour for "A Moment Apart," and the visual dimensions of the experience are unlike anything else to date. If you'd like to experience how an alien would put together a full orchestra production, check out the songs below or any on their page.

Late Night: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Nu5Uyoauauy9LFePYL...

A Moment Apart: https://open.spotify.com/track/59wlTaYOL5tDUgXnbBQ...

Say My Name: https://open.spotify.com/track/1LeItUMezKA1HdCHxYI...

Of course, there are countless DJ, Disco and Dubstep acts that could not be mentioned, but if you're new to the game and you don't want to get lost in the *shuffle,* these pages are wonderful energies to follow. So go ahead! Go down the rabbit hole. We would love to show you our world.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
