Following saying goodbye to our long-standing Comms Officer Beka, we're looking to new beginnings, and welcoming Wes to YY&M to take up the reigns on our comms. As the weather starts to (hopefully) warm, and Spring begins, March is all about this new shift in seasons and the world coming into bloom. 

Who doesn’t love James Brown? We all do. But here’s something slightly different — a bold, brassy version from the genius that is Lester Bowie and his Brass Fantasy. It’s funky, fearless, and a perfect way to shake off the old and welcome in the new.

Written in 1893 while Dvořák was Director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York, this symphony bridges cultures and continents. It’s called From The New World for a reason — and this movement’s haunting beauty even made its way into space, carried aboard Apollo 11 with Neil Armstrong.

From 1995, but somehow more relevant than ever. Tracy Chapman’s voice and message cut through with clarity and hope. This is a song about change, about waking up, and about moving forward — the perfect anthem for a fresh start.

Psychedelic, hypnotic, and deeply alive. This track feels like a ritual, a journey through cycles — endings, beginnings, and everything in between. It’s music that moves, breathes, and pulses with the energy of transformation.

Well, why not? Few songs capture the feeling of light breaking through the clouds better than this one. Simple, joyful, timeless — it’s a reminder that no matter how long the winter, spring always comes.
