Spring Weekend Redux

Last weekend, a few brave souls of yesteryear heroically entered the inferno and attempted to weather the storm that is Trinity College Spring Weekend. In the heat of this battle, some fall, some prevail. We, Gentlemen, prevailed!

The weekend kicked off with a rocking performance by Tweezy and Fadil on the Cave Patio. Their hands were like lightning rods designed for creating thick, swelling beats. They played for three hours with the highlight being a riproaring song which featured the music from The Lion King. I was unsuccessful in finding that track, but in my search I found this gem.

Lil Wayne vs. The Lion King - Stuntin' Like Mufasa

After Tweezy and Fadil finished their set, the one and only Treasure Fingers got on stage and crushed it for a few more hours. He later came to Latenight at the Hall and we hung out for a little bit. I found out his name is Ashley and that's all I can remember. This is one of his newer songs and it is pure disco funk.

Treasure Fingers - What Am I Supposed to Do

Latenight was just as I remembered it: sweaty, preppy people trying to keep up with the Lazersaurus on the dance floor. I was moving like a jaguar in the middle of a storm of funky electro. It was clear that Breakbot's music needed to be in the Hall basement and finally people are catching on. This jam is a few years old, but it has the staying power to be a latenight anthem for generations.

Sneaky Sound System - When We Were Young (Breakbot Remix)

The rest of the weekend was kind of a blurry mix of Croakies, people that were born in the 1990s, and shame. I've needed to do some serious detoxing since then and this track, which Tweezy posted a few weeks ago, has been Advil for my ears.

Wolf Gang - Back to Back (Active Child Remix)

Changing gears a little bit, I wanted to throw this new Chiddy Bang hotness your way. It's got a great Hot Chip sample and a bangin' flow. Please let it pleasure your ears.

Chiddy Bang - Hey London

This song has a very strange but enjoyable vibe. Big beat, hand drums, synth, keyboard and a solid breakdown at 2:40. It's a chill yet bouncy song.

Nottee - Control

Overall the trip back to college was a resounding success for all, except Nader, who broke his hand, and Bickford, who cracked his noggin doing a swan dive from the bar. Standard.
