Seriously so happy that there’s only 7 more days of this semester left.  It’s been the hardest, most depressing, most stressful 4 months ever…. dramatic much?   Yes, but I don’t care.    I’ll be celebrating my freedom next week after finals with the rest of my dnb peeps at Plan B.  Expect to see me wilding out since I’ll have the next month off of school.  Woot.

Tunes:
Velocity – Light In Nightmare
So into Velocity right now.  I’m probably late jumping on the bandwagon, as I always am, but seriously his shit is so dope.  Big up Japan!

Technicolour – Winter Rose
This track is the bizness.  So good.

Random Movement & Ben Soundscape – Perpetual
I like the sounds that these two come up with.  Quality tune.

Today’s Oldie:

Faironne – Matter of Awareness
I love this dude.  His mixes are always sick.  I can just sit and zone out to them as I have been with this mix as I studied.  Wicked selection.

I survived summer classes.  Woot.  It was touch and go there for a while..   There’s 3 weeks before fall semester starts and I’m relishing in that little time to enjoy my summer holidays.  Like I’ve said before, any day where I don’t have to think about whether or not I did my homework or read the numerous pages in my textbook is a lovely one.

In dnb land I’ve become a robot.  LOL.  I was reading so much and doing so much work for school that I would just have a line of mixes that I was playing to keep me sane.  I’m so glad that the days of not being able to find dnb mixes to listen to are over cuz the past couple of weeks would have been pretty rough!  Big ups all the other bloggers out there that help us dnb maniacs find mixes and tunes to download and listen to. <3

I’m happy to report that there is a wicked dnb event tonight which coincides perfectly with the start of my summer holiday.  Yes!  Tonight I will be enjoying cocktails with my besties and listening to dnb very loudly.  If you live in Chicago, you should be doing the same.  No cover, Caculon, Stunna, Submorphics, Radiata, Midway, Dr. Groo and MC Question Mark.  Can’t really beat that folks.

Today’s Oldie:
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with oldies cuz I want to make sure I don’t post the same ones over and over.  Fortunately there are so many old tracks that I’ve managed not to post the same one twice.  Today’s goodie come courtesy of Lamebrane.  He posted it on his facebook which gladly gave me the freedom to not have to rack my brain of which one to pick.
