My Adidas

Kiki2 Comments

Ugggggh. All of us at the Adidas Originals store hate that Run DMC track now. LOL. We have djs every weekend at the store and all of them think it’s cool to play that track, which it kinda is, but after hearing it every weeknd for numerous years we all hate it. They all seem to do the same beat juggle sequence with it, so the second any of us hear “MY Aaaa,” we immediately groan.

l am happy to report that I officially do not work at Adidas Originals anymore. My last day was saturday and it was quite bittersweet. I actually quit there last year but couldn’t find a job and really didn’t want to go back there full time so my manager was nice enough to let me stay on one day a week so I at least was making some money and still left me open to go on interviews and what not. Once I actually did get a job I didn’t mind the whole working six days a week thing so I just stayed on. I’m glad to officially be done with retail though. It’s a good feeling to know that I won’t ever being running around trying to find sizes of clothes or shoes for anyone again… unless they are my child I guess. Yay.

I would love to tell you that I spent the weekend listening to all those mixes that I told you I had downloaded the other day and that I have a bunch of new fave tracks to tell you about, but that would be a lie as I actually spent the whole weekend listening to the Specific spotlight mix on repeat. Soooo goood.

Been hearing a lot of Apex stuff that I like lately.

Apex – By The Way

I’m really looking forward to my friend Sam’s wedding this weekend. I’ve been itching to get out of town. I just want to go away and hang out and be silly and not worry about anything which is exactly what I plan on doing this weekend. Oh and also I found a dress which is a huge annoying weight off my shoulders. 😉

Toodloo for now

Wobble Wobble Wobble

Kiki1 Comment

The tracks that Distance was playing yesterday were pretty insane. Dubstep on a loud sound system is just crazy. I feel like I totally had my bass screwface on the whole time the wobble bass was in effect. It was just sick. 🙂 He didn’t go on til one though and I left at 2. So I enjoyed a good hour of the dubstep attack. I can’t stay out late when I have to be at work in the morning. I cherish the little sleep that I do get.

My boss isn’t here yet and I really don’t have anything to do so I’m kinda just twiddling my thumbs listening to Spinn on Bassdrive.

I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of really good mixes over the past couple of day so I’m kinda looking forward to listening to them this weekend.

Some of the mixes I have been listening to at work have been throwing in old jams which are so great to hear. I wanna do an old skool mix but the organization of my records is pretty crap as I had made the transition from crates to a lovely record shelf and didn’t keep order as I did that. Now that I’m going to have two lovely days off a week, wanting to make this mix might give me the incentive to put some order to my vinyl… I said might. 😉

I can’t believe I’m actually admitting this but I really like that Noisia track – Diplodocus. (track is in the player) Yikes. I generally dislike most Noisa stuff. It’s just not really my cup of tea. Diplodocus makes me wanna rave out though. I feel like it’s a total party tune.

I heard this track this morning but I don’t really have that much info on it. Boo. I just remember it was really pretty and I can’t seem to find any info on the artist. Boo squared.

Dub-L – Calling

I’m gonna try and make the clock move faster with my jedi mind tricks. Have a good weekend.

Don’t Hang Up The Phone!!

KikiLeave a comment

I can’t remember if I wrote about this already or not but my phone has been fucked for like the past week. At first I was really into the silence but now it’s kinda lonely. I can make calls but not receive them or receive texts BUT if I’m on the phone then it works. How ridiculous is that? I can’t just stay on the phone forever.

Going to the Distance show tonight. Woot woot. I’m excited to hear good music. Should be fun.

Hunting for a dress for this wedding I’m going to next week is getting on my nerves. I know exactly what I want but I can’t seem to find it. That’s why it would be cool to be a designer cuz you would just make what you want and not have to worry about endless annoying shopping trips searching for something that resembles what you would like.

Man, that spotlight mix of Specific on Bassdrive yesterday was awesome. Definitely into that dude’s tunes. I’m the worst trainspotter ever. I always miss track ids and constantly ask for them to be repeated and usually still end up getting them wrong. My favourite track on the mix yesterday was called Something New. I’m pretty sure it was by Specific and I’m pretty sure that was the title, but like I just said, I’m not the best at paying attention so I could be wholeheartedly wrong.

The Arbitrators are on holiday this week so I guess there’s not much going on in the Workers’ Compensation Law world which means I’m doing menial mundane tasks around the office. It always seems like fun to have nothing to do but it’s really only fun for a couple of hours and then you just get bored of being bored.

I totally feel like that kid in school that keeps getting in trouble for spacing out. Im just out of it today and can’t seem to come up with a good post so this will have to do.

There’s a Specific spotlight mix on Stunna’s show today.  If you’re so inclined tune in.  I’m listening right now and it sounds great.

Error… Does Not Compute

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve got a lot of stuff going on this week. I feel a bit discombobulated. Sort of like in the old sci-fi films when a computer or a robot would get fried or whatever and it would go all crazy and be like “error, system error, does not compute.” I’m showing my age. 😉

You know how it is when you’ve got stuff lined up and you just have to cross it off your list one by one and the list seems never ending.

One of my really good friends is getting married next week and I’m going to Minneapolis for the wedding but it’s like a labor day getaway as well cuz it’s at a lodge and I’ll be gone for 4 days. Im trying to get my finances sorted for that, as well as buy a dress and wedding gift and coordinate seeing my few friends that I want to see before we head to Duluth and then one of my relatives from England is in town but is staying out way south so I have to squeeze that in to my agenda and work it around my daily schedule. Also there’s my impending last shift at Adidas this saturday. You get the picture. It’s a bit overwhelming when your brain becomes chocablock. *shrugs* I’m sure it’ll sort itself out.

Actually found some good music while not doing my work and looking for records.

Man. I absolutely love this one. Really lovely deep track.

Break – Enigma (Calibre Remix)

Don’t really know much about these dudes but I like this one too.

Human Factor – Deep Love

I haven’t heard a Zed Bias record in ages. I’m sure he’s been doing stuff and I just haven’t paid attention but it’s great to hear some of his stuff again. This track is killer!

Zed Bias – Broken Dreams Remix

Been waiting a while for this one. There’s something about the way it rolls that I just really love. I’m surprised that I like it as much as I do cuz I haven’t really liked any DJSS stuff for years.

Mutated Forms – Blue Magic (DJSS Remix)

You’d think I’d get tired of Stunna mixes, but I obviously don’t. 😉

Tech Tech Tech….Techno

KikiLeave a comment

Adam F – Circles

Did you know there was a fancy pants video for this? LOL. This was my first time seeing it.

Everytime I’m thinking of a title for my entry I just let my brain go wild. I was thinking about how much techno I listened to this weekend and then I was like “tech tech tech” and it made me think of Circles. Whenever I break down my thoughts like that, I find it easier and easier to admit that I am indeed crazy. 😉

My friend Mike was in town and so I ventured to one of the techno nights to listen to Atomly and Sassmouth. Great music, awesome djs. I actually am quite the techno fan but don’t really have anyone to gimme the lowdown on the new ish like I used to have back in Minneapolis. So basically whenever I get to indulge in some good techno I’m quite content.

I was completely spoiled by Stunna this weekend cuz he gave me some of the tracks I nag him about and some good mixes. I basically spent sunday cleaning my house and listening to my fave tracks and a six hour long bassdrive mix that Stunna had done a couple of weeks back. I’m three hours in, we’ll have to save the rest for when I decide to clean my bedroom. 😉

No new tracks to talk about today because I am feeling awfully lazy, but I am happy to listen to the new BBS Bookings podcast.

Pretty slow day.

Bye Bye Summer :(

KikiLeave a comment

The pretense must stop.  2 more weeks and some change and it will be September.  So lame.

Weekend is here.  Holla.

Not much to talk about today.  Having a pretty chill day.  I feel like it’s always easy to start my weekend off right, cuz I just am always happy it’s friday and then I sit and listen to Spinn’s show for 3 hours.  LOL.  Can’t really beat that.

Lovin’ Stereotype – One More Try.

Someone made a comment about me not having samples and I apologize.  A lot of these tracks are new and unreleased and I don’t really have any way of getting a hold of them.  I just figure you can at least get to know the artists who are making these great tracks.

Moving on….

I figured I’d post this Chase & Status Essential Mix.  I’m still pretty amazed on how awesome Take Me Away is and so I reckon it’ll be fitting to pay homage to them for the afternoon.

Have a lovely weekend.

Good Times

Kiki1 Comment

I had a really good night last night. As I slowly make a name for myself in the geriatric community, I don’t really need much, just good music and good company. Yesterday I had exactly that. The pic is hopefully how I’m starting to look as I enter my senior citizen stages. Dashing old black lady. Dope.

Submorphics and Stunna came over and we did a little preparty and then headed to Lava. I was surprised by Lava, there were people there actually dancing and they weren’t crazy weirdos, it was just people having fun. Really nice vibe and awesome music. I danced a whole bunch. Both Whoa-B and Stunna really threw down. Stunna played a hot number from good old Will Miles that was just banging. I guess it’s a Talkbox Remix that he did. Don’t really have any other info on but just know it’s a hot one! 😉

Heard some jammers yesterday. No samples. 😦

Dj Clart – City of Men

Paul SG & Pouya – Standing Alone (Paul SG is seriously one of my faves right now. I love all the stuff he’s doing!)

Stunna & Amaning – Landslide (I had actually heard this tune before and meant to write on it but, surprise surprise, I forgot. LOL. I think Stunna and Amanning just make a really good team. Their collabos are always slamming.)

Yesterday Stunna started his Bassdrive show with Commix’s Hung Up. Man, what a great tune. It made me think of this Commix mix from when they were on Fabio’s show last year. It’s a mini mix of some of the tunes they chose not to put on the album and it’s seriously amazing. Just beautiful drum n bass. There’s no tracklist cuz they didn’t even really say the names of the tracks.

I’ve been hearing some Logistics tunes lately that have totally made me fall in love with his music again. When his album Now More Than Ever came out, I was full on obsessed. I loved every track and was so into his production. Winter Blues was my favourite. I had heard an unfinished version that Flight had played on her 1xtra show earlier in the year and totally sought it out quite regularly and it didn’t come out until way way later and I wasn’t even annoyed that it took so long, I was just happy to own it. Also his remix of The Great D&B Swindle was so awesome. Then I started to not be so into his stuff. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good, it was more that i was on a totally different page dnb wise. Now I’m all on it again. There’s something so deep about his production. I feel like I just get it. Does that make sense? I think it’s cool when you’re listening to an artist and you connect with their music cuz you can say to your self, “I know what you’re on about, I get it.”

I was listening to the latest Hospital Podcast and heard one of Logistics new tunes Intervention on there. Hot stuff. I actually enjoyed the podcast this time around. I feel like it’s very hit or miss with me. Sometimes I’m super into it and other times I can’t even get through the first couple of tracks. Blasphemy!!! I know, I know 😉

There’s a wicked Matrix remix of that Redeyes Luv & Haight tune with Deeizm that I said I didn’t like on the podcast. I still don’t really like the vocal but the remix is awesome. Matrix!! I’ve always really liked him. My copy of his Sleepwalk LP is too through! I can only play the first half of my fave track Asylum cuz it’s just too scratched up. Dang.

Like I said though, I thought this installment of the podcast was really good. I’ll post it once I see a link but you can also just go subscribe to it on itunes.

I also am currently loving that Nu:Logic (Nu:Tone & Logistics) Trademark track. (It’s in the player.) I heard it on that awesome Marcus Intalex mix from July and it’s just a banging track.

I don’t have any mixes to rate for you right now. I’m kinda in that zone I’ve talked about before where I just seem to listen to the chunk of mixes that I have right now on repeat. I’m sure I’ll move on to a new group of mixes pretty soon.

I feel like my summer has been a bit boring. I usually am so excited about Chicago summers but I think that this time around it took so long that the enthusiasm died and now it’s almost over. Boo. I do have an exciting fall coming up though so hopefully that will make up for it. I have two weddings to go to which are actually going to be really fun cuz they are two of my really good friends.

Seminar tonight. Stunna!!!!

I belong to this blog for this research marketing group.  Basically there’s a group of us that they ask questions to once a week and we get paid for our opinions.  I haven’t answered the questions in like  forever so I figured it was time to get to it.  I’ve been writing for what seems like eternally too long since my answers are always super detailed and now I can’t be bothered to write anything interesting in here.  Boo.  Alas there’s always tomorrow.

I’m digging this Utah Jazz on Liquid V.  Great stuff.

I was having a hard time finding something I wanted to post today so I decided to go through some mixes I had downloaded but not listened to and found this Dj Trax mix and it totally went along with the mood I’m in.  Lovely mix.  All his tunes.

Hullabaloo?

KikiLeave a comment

Isn’t hullabaloo a word that everyone uses?  My coworker was dying of laughter when I used it on saturday and I could swear it’s a regular word that everyone uses but maybe not.  I just don’t remember it being a strictly British term.  Now he won’t stop using it.  He doesn’t even care what it means, he just throws it into every sentence.  LOL.

I had a pretty good weekend.  Westfest was fun.  Went to the Hatcha show on Friday.  Great music.  Hatcha was just killing it.  I love dubstep.  It’s my little treat to myself cuz it’s not completely part of my being like dnb is so every little event I got to or mix I download I cherish immensely. 🙂  I’m so cheesy but I can’t help it.  I just love dirty basslines.

Worked at Adidas on saturday.  I only have two shifts left there.  Eek.  I thought it was more than that!  I have no desire to work there anymore but when discussing my final shifts with my boss, the finality of it kinda freaked me out.  I’ve worked there for 3 years.  That store is very much a part of my life.  I’m really good friends with my coworkers and hang out with them quite frequently.  Then as I stood around waiting for customers to make decisions about items, waiting to close the store, I remembered why I was quitting and the nostalgia disappeared really quickly!

I’ve just exhausted my retail life.  I have no desire to get anyone anything for an hourly wage.  Salaries are where it’s at yo!  My regular 9 to 5 pays well and is pretty much stress free.  I like the idea of getting my work done and then going home.  Standing around in a clothing store waiting to help people that come in is definitely not my cup of tea anymore.

It will be weird to have to pay for clothes though.  I’ve been getting free clothes for the past 3 years cuz it’s part of our “uniform.”  I’ll still get the discount so it’ll be ok and to be honest i’ve kinda outgrown that style.  I still like the trainers but I’m gonna be 32 in a couple of months and I’ve figured out that I can’t wear shit with writing all over it or cartoony type characters without feeling a wee bit ridiculous and all the multicoloured items I own now is where it stops, I’m not adding anymore to the collection.  I’m sure you thought I was joking when I said I had reached senior citizen status, well I wasn’t at all. 😉

I bought some records this past weekend.  Managed to buy some that were on my wish list so that made me happy.

Don’t really have any dnb news today.  I kinda lazed out this weekend and didn’t even really listen to music, just read and watched tv.

I’ve gotten really emo as far as dnb is concerned. Lately my faves are the moody yet deep tracks like Survival or the pretty yet melancholy tracks that make you wanna lay around your house and think about your life. I was talking to Submorphics the other night and we were talking about one of his tracks, I had said I loved it but he said he didn’t really like it. So I was like “I love it cuz it’s all sulky and gloomy” and he was like “Yeah… frownstep.” LOL. Perfect name for that genre of liquid. Don’t get me wrong, I love the happy go lucky tunes too but I find myself gravitating towards the broody shit as of late.

Friday. I love you. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you exist. I’m grateful for you being you. I worship you. 🙂

Heard a lovely banger on Spinn’s show today. Metrik – Stranger. Woot Woot. (It’s in the player)

I love having the archives of Presha’s shows to post. He doesn’t disappoint. I love that there are all these great radio shows for me to listen to now. It’s nice to have easy access to my dnb. When I first moved to America, I used to have my cousin send me Kool FM tapes in the post. I would anxiously await their arrival and then cherish them so deeply because I knew it would be a while before I got another one. Thank goodness those days are gone. 😉
