Over the last decade, dance music has evolved into many different formats, allowing artists to expand their musical talents into different genres and futuristic elements of the twenty-first century. Just as many fans have witnessed, bands and singers have jumped onto the mixing wagon, while some of the original veteran DJ's have decided to change up their styles to fit with times. While Avicii may not be considered an original veteran to electronic music, he has been big on the charts around the globe for nearly a decade with some of his well-demonstrated deep house productions as he worked closely under Laidback Luke.

Well, this year the tables have turned, Avicii is taking his talents to the next level as he collaborates on a huge new project with PS4 and their newest video game "Invector". The object of the game is to keep hand and eye coordination on point, which makes this perfect for any DJ who wants to practice their profession while also taking a break and playing a game! While Rockband and Guitar Hero brought the initial idea to the bring the rhythmic balance of music to the video-gaming world. "Invector" is reaching all new horizons as an intense rhythmic game for hardcore gaming fanatics, allowing an entire world to revolve around the BPM of the music playing in the game. According to Oskar Hanska from PlayStation blog , "we managed to grant each track the attention it deserved and utilize the unique components of every hit song you play in the game – the melodies, rhythms, harmonies, beats, and vocals".

Watch below as the official trailer plays one of Avicii's latest hits, "Without You" as vibrantly stellar-space worlds are revealed. According to Hanksa,

“Avicii gave us access to his awesome music and his creative input regarding the overall experience of the game. This was extra valuable when we explored aspects of playing with friends, and in creating that feeling of partying at a concert with your closest mates.”

The game is based on musical balance, allowing each gamer to sync objects and obstacles to different elements in each track, either as a single player or go back2back with friends. Fly through space and hit all of the obstacles on the beat to get through the worlds, with each song featuring 3 different difficulty levels. This game is meant to entirely connect the music world to the gaming world, enabling current musicians to focus on hand and eye coordination to the rhythm and beat of each track. While many reviewers may recall the game announcement over 2 years ago during Paris Games Week, effortless work has the game is set to release soon, but there is no immediate reveal date for this official PS4 game yet. Still not convinced about the intriguing world of "Invector"? Check out the official trailer below to find out for yourself below.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
