Summer’s wrapping up. Kids going back to school. I survived another summer not working in academia.
Very much looking forward to my hols. Headed to Sardinia again with Alley Cat. A very much needed holiday indeed.
Awake for no reason, listening to my shuffle:
I love words and language. “Sedulous” was my dictionary word of the day recently. I’m deep in the throes of building this project I’ve been working on, so I suppose I am actually being quite sedulous.
I barely have any meetings this week, which means I’ve been able to focus most of my time on completing this module. Hence the rare window to crank out three posts in a single week. 🤣
Currently vibing to Doc Scott.🤩
Working. My favourite thing about my job is that I can just sit at my desk, blast dnb in my headphones, and get on with it. I’m way more productive with music than without.
Just picked up this Archangel yesterday. Been waiting for it to get released! 😍
I’m here. Toiling my summer away. I am whinging about working through the summer, like it wasn’t me that made the decision to not work in academia anymore.
Instead, I guess I have to just get used to having an end of summer getaway of some sort. I’m tagging along to Sun and Bass again this year, so I am trying to keep my moaning at bay and wait for that trip.
Haven’t really been to many shows as of late. Just spending my time mixing in my bedroom and still listening to heaps of dnb as per usual.
I really enjoyed the Pola & Bryson album.
My faves:
The weather’s quite lovely. I’m working at one of the standing desks and taking in the downtown LA views, listening to Klute.
Klute Presents the Sound of Commercial Suicide.
LA was so rude this weekend! 🤣
We went from like 60 degrees on Monday to 96 on the weekend.
I just stayed inside, enjoying my rent and frigid temps.
Currently doing some QA/QC on a module and listening to Pola & Bryson.
17 Years of DnB and Kiki. 🥳
I was recently telling a colleague about my Livejournal. Yikes! 🤣
I started blogging in 2001. I joined Livejournal and just yapped endlessly about everything.
I finally got so sick of myself and my cringy early 20s behaviour, that I ended that blog and created this one. At first I decided I wasn’t going to talk about myself and just post my fave mixes and tunes, but eventually, cuz I’m such a blabbermouth, parts of my life started to creep into my posts.
I still don’t update as much as I would like, but I have decided that I do like the fact that this platform exists for me after all these years. 💜
I can’t help it. Any time anyone says the word “visage”, I just hear Lauren going “Regardez mon visage ” 🤣
I’m a huge Visages & Monty fan. I really love the way they produce together. That Gen Z phrase fits appropriately for my love for this tune. “I Don’t Want to Go to Heaven has definitely gone platinum in my car.” 😂
I really enjoyed this North Quarter Echobox episode. It was nice to have Greg back and the Mantra mix was 🔥.
I’m here. Been busy with work. Not a valid excuse for not posting, but alas, what can I say?
Listening to some SirReal. Always love his mixes. 🥰

It’s so weird when it rains in LA. I mean I know there are songs about it never raining in Southern California, but still. 😂
It’s been ages. I write numerous drafts and never post them. Soz.
The key is to just post and not faff about trying to curate the perfect post! So here I am, posting.
Working and listening to Integral Records’ Seventeen. Love this one from the Phils.
Happy New Year? I started this draft at the beginning of January when I got back from family hols, and then got taken out by the flu! I was so sick for 3 weeks and it was still January when I finally got better. What a long ass month!
Haven’t been to any dnb shows yet this year, but did get to go see my old Minneapolis homie DVS1 and he did not disappoint. I don’t really know that much about techno, but I always enjoyed Zak’s sets from our old Minneapolis raving days. Actually stayed out and raved til the wee hours of the morning. Who am I? 😂
Anyway, welcome to February. Should probs write heaps more and update with newer ish, but I’ve just decided to finish the draft and leave it at that.
I don’t mind saying that Baby Grey is deffo one of my top fave tracks. Every time it comes on in a mix, I get so geeked. It’s just a really great tune and I don’t ever get sick of it.
Come on, let’s keep it real. We all know how I feel about TNQ tunes. Loved this Minor Forms release.
Enjoyed this B2B with Monty and Trail. So many good tunes!
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week.
I love getting to hang out with my family. I’m very much looking forward to a little r&r.
My work has been so busy. It’ll be nice to just laze around with the fam, watch TV and stuff my face.
This isn’t a long post. I really just wanted to write about Fox’s Woi to the World EP.
I thought I wrote about it already, but I didn’t and I’m obsessed.
I’ve had the tracks on repeat for the past 2 weeks.
Last week it was all about Revellin’ and this week I guess it’s all about ICU. I’ve listened to that track like 5 times today already. Great EP. 🔥🔥🔥
Awake.
Listening to Seba. 😍
Fingers crossed someone books him here on his upcoming US tour.
