Lay Low Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Slow day today.  Just kinda getting some things done here and there.  I’ve got two nights of semi-rowdiness coming up, Andy C tomorrow and Skream on friday, so I guess laying low isn’t such a bad thing. 🙂

Today’s Oldie:
The Dream Team – The Menace/Drugs & Money – Joker Records 1996
I actually don’t know which side is which.  I personally think it’s called Drugs & Money but the youtube video says otherwise.  Either way I don’t care it’s the correct track and that’s all that matters.  This is still one of my fave oldies and I would play it out a lot more if my copy didn’t sound like Rice Krispies when the needle hits the vinyl. 😉

Carpal Tunnel Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome.  Boo.  It is actually more painful and annoying than I had imagined it would be.  I could whine forever but I’ll spare you.

I actually had a pretty good weekend.   Friday was Bass Goes Boom’s second anniversary and 16 Bit were the headliners.  Party boys indeed.  Good times.

Saturday I reconnected with my old old friend as she was passing through Chicago.  I hadn’t seen her in years.  The best friendships are definitely the ones where even though you may not see each other all the time, you are still able to pick up as if you just saw each other the day before. 🙂

Sunday I spent bumming around with Reisha and Jessica.  Had some drinks, made some food, got a cute clutch at this vintage sale.  Perfectly lazy yet pleasant day.

My L.A. trip is this week.  I’m happy  to get out of Chi.  I keep having the urge to just go on holiday.  Who cares where!  I just want to travel.  I’m obviously just restless.

Rusko = Party

Kiki1 Comment

Woh.  Me and Daniela decided to go see Rusko last night and the man does not disappoint.  Once again I guess Smart Bar was the place to be.  When did thursday nights at Smart Bar become the hot spot?  I usually despise going to that dungeon but the past 2 thursdays there have been pretty spot on, packed, people dancing, awesome music.  I had a really good time.

Going to Philly for the weekend.  Woot.

Tunes:

“I’m The One To Blame”

Kiki2 Comments

Came into work early today. Got a lot of crap to do. Better get to it. 🙂

Tunes:

Black Sun Empire – Firing Squad (SKC Remix)

I’m going to Seminar tonight for a little dubstep presha! Should be good times. Clever from Offshore is playing along with Cringer and BRC. If you’re in Chi you should come out. You know you’re pretty much guaranteed to see me at Lava on wednesdays… It’s a 5 minute walk from my house dammit!

Today’s Oldie: Everything But The Girl – Blame (J Majik Remix) – Virgin 1999 I can tell you where I lost every record I’ve ever lost. LOL. The whole losing of the record is always so traumatic for me (god I love to exaggerate) that I remember the moment like it was yesterday. I love this remix. Like love love love it. It just evoked such a happy warm feeling that I always got excited when it came on. I loved the Everything But The Girl original and I just think that J Majik did a lovely job with the remix. I mixed at this huge new years eve party that year. It was about to be ’00 and the party was just insane.  I had a blast but there was seriously like 12 of us mixing from around 9pm to about 6am and all our records got mixed together due to the debauchery that was taking place. I’m usually pretty anal about watching over my records but these were all my really close friends so I was kinda lax about putting them away. When i got home the next evening, yes next evening, LOL, I was putting my records away and that record was nowhere to be found. It was part of a remix LP and I only had the other record with the other remixes that I didn’t like on it. Boo. I remember hounding Jimmy about whether or not he’d seen it and was so gutted. Lame. I know one of my friends probably has it but their record collections were all ridiculously huge and there wasn’t really any intense hunting going on to find it. I couldn’t find another copy of it around that time and just was so bummed. I had actually forgotten about it until today. I just found a copy online and bought it. Yay. This oldies section is doing wonders for replenishing my record collection. 😉

I <3 Redeyes

KikiLeave a comment

Well, if you weren’t at Smart Bar last night, you kinda missed out. I really had a good time. Awesome music. Lots of people dancing and having fun. Even I danced a couple of times which is pretty much of unheard of lately. 😉 Fun times. It was that feeling that I want shows to have that we never seem to have anymore since we don’t seem to be recruiting new people to the scene. Last night was a good sign though so big ups Midway.

Weekend. Yay. Going to Milwaukee on saturday to hang out with my buddy Mollie. I’m excited to see her. She lives in L.A. but has to go to Milwaukee for some work thing so I’m going to drive there on saturday and kick it.

Hot Tracks:

Soul Mosaic (Redeyes & Youthman) – Listen To Your Heart Love this one! It’s the 9th release on Blu Saphir. I’m just starting to know about Youthman. The French are killing it. Seriously.

Redeyes – Battle of Sweet Things

Yeh yeh, I know another Redeyes. Can’t help it. Love the stuff he’s doing right now. He’s dope. I could add more tracks by him but that’s just silly. 😉

Today’s Oldie:

Dj Krust – Freak Show – Full Cycle Records 2000 This track is great! It’s really easy to imagine a freak show with this bassline. Is it weird to say it’s a tasteful clownstep track? It’s totally not annoying and is really fun to mix. Whenever I play it I mostly just ride out the mix cuz it emphasizes all the elements beautifully while in the mix.

Bass Goes Boom tonight. Haven’t been for a hot minute. Should be fun to get my dubstep fix on.

Have a good weekend.

Kiki2 Comments

I was telling Stunna yesterday that I’ve totally been in a lazy funk. At first I was annoyed and stressed for a couple of weeks and now I’m just lazy. I decided to snap out of it yesterday and I’m in full form again. I went crazy listening to dnb and am back to full on post it note scrawled pieces of paper form. I have tracks to talk about and I actually went out. Holla.

It was dubstep night at Seminar. Chicago’s dubstep scene really is fire. Nameloc and Borja are on some other shit with their production. Loves it!

Tunes I’m lovin’:

Naibu – Here Now (track is in the player) It’s no secret that I heart Naibu. This track is dope.

Arje – Awakenings Really great rolling track. Heard this on Overfiend’s show. No sample but definitely check out the stuff in his player.

Future Engineers – Eden ( Method One Remix) Track is in the player.

Today’s Oldie:
EZ Rollers – Tough At The Top (Origin Unknown Remix) – Moving Shadow 1998 Talk about great remix. I loved the original already and then Origin Unknown came with this gritty version and it was fire. Loves it.

If you’re in Chi you should make a trip to Smart Bar tonight for some liquidy goodness at Junglefly. All of your faves in the house, Stunna, BRC, Submorphics etc. Should be a good night.

Internets

Kiki1 Comment

The internet was down all day at work.  Thank god I’d saved the draft before it went down.  Everyone was losing their mind.  Try working in an office from 9 to 5 with no internet.  Yeh.  Not fun.  Dunno how people did it before. 🙂

Anyway back to my original post….

Friday.  Yes. ❤

Bass Goes Boom tonight.  Headhunter.  Should be fire.

I’m kinda out of it.  I went to bed really early and then woke up at 1 a.m. because I really can’t sleep more than 4 hours.  Did some laundry, did the dishes, cleaned my room, then went back to sleep from 430 a.m. to 6 a.m.  Which is all fine and dandy but now I’m cracked out.  I really have to figure out how to sort out my sleep pattern.

Friday means what??  Spinn of course.  If you missed it go to his site and get the archive.  Good good ish.

I’m in planning mode.  I’m having a bday party at my house and am trying to get my self sorted.  I want it to be fun but not crazy.  I’m too old for crazy.

Heard this one on Spinn’s show today.  Pretty hot.

Cybass & Peixe Kru feat Melianti – My Girl (Madmen & Poets Remix) It’s track #5 in the player

FBI Don’t You Be Watching Me

KikiLeave a comment

I was listening to Ol DB (R.I.P.) – Got Your Money on the way to work this a.m. Classic.

I honestly had the best weekend ever. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on having two days off a week for the past 13 years. It was heavenly. I was so lazy. I actually didn’t even leave my house yesterday. I got a lot done and managed to take numerous naps, eat copious amounts of food and watch a ton of telly. Nice.

Friday was the only night I went out. Bass Goes Boom. 6 Blocc. Yikes! Now that was a party and a half! Chicago’s dubstep scene is fire I tell you. 6 Blocc was sick! I love it that people are into dubstep. I’m used to listening to music that no one else listens to. I’m content to have my dubstep parties by myself while I clean the house but it’s definitely more fun when there’s a packed bar, right? 😉

I remember when I first moved to Chicago and the dnb scene was packed like that. 😦 Oh well, I won’t complain. Some places don’t even have a scene, right?

So I don’t know if I told you that Seminar changed from an all dnb night to a “home of the UK underground” night, so basically when I play there on the 24th I can play a 2step/garage set if I wanted. I love mixing old skool 2step/garage sets. I’ve got really good old records. I’m still deciding, I’ll keep you posted.

I’m excited to listen to this mix.  The tracklist is filled with loads of people I like.

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.

Toodloo for now

Apparently someone likes L.A.O.S as much as I do. 😉 Really nice mix from Dj Lixx.

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)

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.
