The Great Gatsby: The Video Game from Slate
We know everyone is talking about Baz Luhrmann’s Gatsby film starring Leo, a pre-reboot Spider-Man, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Jack White. But we’ve been having too much fun playing Slate.com’s version of the Fitzgerald classic —an 8-bit video game by Chris Kirk, Andrew Morgan, and Forrest Wickman. Chris and Forrest are recent NU alums. You can find their Slate archives here and here.

Mayfest: What music is most prominent in your mixes?
DJ Wade: I’d say house and moombahton, I like to add in hip-hop to make things interesting.
DJ NN: I try to mix a variety of genres, but I’d say my main genres are trap and hip-hop.
Luccii: Progressive house music. It’s the genre I like the most.
Snad: Deep house, tech house and techno. That’s the sound we’re really into, it’s what we like.
KaitoS: Mostly EDM, some rap, progressive house.
Behind These Eyes: I’m mostly into bass music, I got into dubstep, hip-hop, rap, and I like trap music as well. Anything bass oriented, most of the music is like breakbeat, so not house music but the opposite, anything that’s evolved from hip-hop.
