I haven’t updated since January?  Ooh I’m horrid.

I feel like I don’t remember what it’s like to have free time anymore.

I was excited cuz I’m only taking one class this summer, which means I’ll actually get a summer holiday this year.  Didn’t get one last year but I survived.  I signed up to take the class at the end of the summer so I could start my summer holiday now since school just finished and then they switched the class to the beginning of the summer.  Can you say gutted?  I was so devastated when I found out.  Now I just have to buck up and wait til July as school starts again in two weeks now.  I still get a summer holiday but I just have to wait 2 more months.  I’m dealing.  I did get a good sulk in though.

I’m in London right now.  Came to see the fam.  So at least I get a mini break.  I just really wanted to have more than 2 weeks off as I am completely burnt the fuck out.

It also happens to be my blog’s bday today.  I know I never have time to write in it but I’m still gonna acknowledge its bday.  I decided not to delete it and will just post whenever some magical free time comes my way.  I thought I would have more free time to write while I was here but my cousin just passed away two days ago and I’ve been doing family stuff.  R.I.P. Anthony.

Hope all is well in your brocktastic land,  I’m busy but alive and still getting my dnb fix when I can.

xoxo

These tunes are prolly old to you but since I haven’t updated in eons they are tunes that I have kinda just kept in mind.
Tunes:

Logistics – We Are One (Nu: Logic Remix)
Can’t get enough of these drums.  They are just amazing.  Really great remix.

Penny Giles – Rhodes Adrift
Dreamy. 

Kyshido – I Like The Way You Move
I prolly like this tune cuz whenever I hear it it makes me want to mix Pulp Fiction.  Nice simple effective bassline.

Planas feat Ed Thomas – Breathtaking (dBridge Remix)
Loves it!  So good.

Today’s Oldie:
Logistics – Together VIP – Hospital Records 2004
I’m pretty sure I already posted this as an oldie but I was thinking about it this morning and it doesn’t stop being awesome so I’m posting it again.

Do you hate me?  Please don’t.  The blatant neglect is not intentional I swear!  I want to say that I will just get rid of this blog all together but then there are random days like today where I actually have a free mo and decide to write.  I think I just feel guilty that there was a time almost 4 years ago that I was able to write about my dnb obsession every day and then all of a sudden I got all grownz up and am too busy to chat incessantly about my love for it.

Enough with the emo confessions.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  :)  Sorry I didn’t do a top tunes list for last year but I really don’t have as much of a tally of tunes as I used to seeing as  I don’t write every day anymore and therefore didn’t have enough data to make a proper list.

School has started again.  It’s busy and it’s hard but i’m not as unprepared for how hard these classes I’m taking are as I was last semester so I’m not depressed and I’m ready to take this semester head on.  Woot!

I have been listening to so many mixes as usual.  It’s so easy to live in a blissful dnb cloud these days as we have access to so many mixes and so many radio stations.  Gotta love it.

Tunes:
Wilkinson – Refugee

Eveson – Deeper Green
This song is hella old but I see that it finally got released on the new Liquid V Club Sessions Vol. 4 CD.  I’ve loved this tune for so long.  <3  So pretty.

So Summer is officially over.  I’m not mourning it.  Autumn is my favourite time of the year.  I’m back to being boring.  I had a couple of weeks where I got to wild out and party to some dnb and now it’s just school and work again.  I have been hearing some awesome tunes though so at least that’s keeping me going.  If you find yourself having a tremendous amount of fun at a dnb party, make sure you brock out for me too.

I’ll post more deets on those two shows as we get closer to the event dates.

Tunes:
Calibre – Foreign Bodies
Been waiting for a sample of this for ages now.  I know it’s just a podcast rip but you can hear it nonetheless.  I heard it on a Marky mix a while back and just loved it.  I can’t wait to hear it on a loud sound system.  Some serious bass there.

Intelligent Manners – Still
So good!  I love tunes like this.  I actually really like all the songs on his Everybody Knows EP.  Nice one.

Mob Tactics – The Machai
Nice rowdy tune.  See I don’t only listen to pretty stuff. 

Flaco – Gonna Take Time
Love it!  I heard this on that Makoto Human Elements 5th Anniversary Mix and meant to post it then but totally forgot.  Wicked.

Everywhere.   I had three weeks off from school and just ran with it.  I just got back from visiting my besties in Minneapolis.  Really lovely relaxing time.  I’ve noticed that I don’t really have much time to sit around and just do nothing.  Sometimes it would be nice to have some of that time back cuz that “sit around and do nothing time” is usually when I write in my blog.  Right now it’s 4:30 in the morning and I figured I might as well write a quick post before I have to start my day.
