As Michael “Mike Dreams” Hannah recently observed over on RefinedHype.com, the music game is looking more like high school with every passing day. Thus, it was only a matter of time before a group calling themselves The Freshmen hit the scene. Enter emcees A. Wolf and Kristo, and beatsmith THX, whose new promo single, Contact, is a heartwarming tribute to Carl Sagan, the famed astronomer/astrophysicist who penned the massive novel of the same name. OK, OK, not really – in actuality, this upbeat jam finds the trio waxing poetic about the joys of the one-night stand. Mixing a driving piano-bass groove with plenty of spacey electronic flourishes, THX crafts a beat sure to get heads nodding, and Kristo and Wolf come with propulsive flows to match. One Block Radius frontman Marty James rounds out the track’s lineup, showcasing his smooth vocal stylings on the chorus. If they keep releasing records this catchy, these up-and-comers are bound to have one stellar freshman year. Keep it locked to the Booth for further broadcasts from the talented trio.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on January 18, 2010

This one took me a little while to get into, but once I did I was hooked. Love the mix of the synths and the live instrumentation, plus the hook sounds fresh as hell. Definitely one of those tracks you sign along to in the car, until someone in the lane next to you starts staring.

this is one of those songs that prepares you for the club. then after a few drinks in the club when this song comes on you don't go to the dance floor, you just get your groove on wherever your standing.. just groove it.

I think this would be fitting to have lil wayne on it...just the spacey alien-esqe theme. Then this would sell a ton even if he drops a garbage auto-tuned verse (hopefully not...).

With lyrics on-point, a great sing-along chorus, a distinct original/fresh sound and cross over appeal, this could gain traction in the radio market if given the proper promotion. I'd play this again and certainly turn it up if it comes on the radio.
