Mixtape Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

tape

I used to have so many rave mixtapes.  I gave most of them to my friend to add to his amazing Rave Archive website, but I still have about 20 of my own personal mixes that I have been meaning to convert to mp3, and just never got around to it.  

I came across them again when I was cleaning out some boxes, and have been having a field day just listening to them while cleaning, lesson planning, avoiding going outside in 5° weather, etc. So many good memories and so many good tracks.

I expected the sound quality to be super shitty but I guess they kept well and they still sound surprisingly decent.  I also expected the mixing from Code Blue circa late 90’s to be cringe-worthy, but they weren’t half bad…  even if I do say so myself.  😝

Here are some oldies that I heard that I’m definitely digging out when I go have a mix session after I finish writing this post.  😻

Yuletide Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

December, man.  Once Thanksgiving hits, the holiday season just speeds away from you.  I’m spending Xmas in California this year, and am totes looking forward to it.  I haven’t spent Christmas with that side of my family in years.

We got our first snowfall finally.  I always like to take a picture of it, because after the first one, it’s just a brown, gross, crunchy and slushy annoyance.

So many mix choices today!  I’ll start with this Total Science, while I go work out and then see where the rest of the day takes me.

Technical Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I’m gonna eat everything.

I was cleaning out a box and found some of my old mixtapes — stress on the tapes part.  

My friend owned a record store in Minneapolis back in the late 90s, early ’00s.  I didn’t have my own turntables yet, so he would let me come and hang out and mix records for hours upon end at the store.  I would record all my mix sessions and then go home and listen to the tapes all over again.  Acting like I hadn’t just spent 6 hours recording them.  😁

This one tape I’m listening to right now is all Technical Itch.  I was so Tech Itch crazy back then.  😍

Drake & Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I thought I’d gotten Drake out of my system for the remainder of 2016.  

No dice I guess, cuz I can’t get enough of this Bass Controlla.  

It gets so dark so early, and I wish it was sunny and warm again, so I guess I’ll recreate this past summer and let Drake hijack my music player once more.

Sunny Days Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m missing the Mexico sun.

In my old age, I’m totes ready for those days where I retreat to my “winter home” in some sunny paradise.

I don’t mind autumn, it’s actually my favourite season, but sometimes the grey skies creep up on you and will def have you in your feelings a little bit.  

Instead of being a mopey cow for no sensible reason, I’m mixing old tunes and feeling quite content.  What else is new?  I don’t own any new records.  LOL.  

I do actually listen to new stuff every once in a while.  I just happen to really, really, really enjoy my old records. 😍😍😍

This tune always makes me think of Dj Kali.  I loved our Code Blue & Kali tagteam duo liquid funk era.

Mexico Kiki

I turned 40 and celebrated my bday in Puerto Vallarta with a bunch of my friends.  I had a brilliant time!  Def a wonderful way to start a new decade of my life.  

Holidays can be tiring af though, with all the traipsing around, gallivanting from here to there and the margaritas flowing, and I came home and passed the eff out.  

Now it’s 2:45 a.m. and I’m wide awake listening to Calculon and pretending to unpack.  Really I’m just lying in bed, hanging out with the internet.  ☺

This is really good.  Nice one S.P.Y.!  I  get worried when I see remixes of such epic classics. The Dj Zinc one is so iconic, I wouldn’t want anyone spoiling it.  I still can’t believe that track came out in 1996.  I’m such an old raver.  LOL.  But man S.P.Y.  killed this remix.  Love it.  😍😍😍
