Good Friday

I guess it’s good friday.  Good friday in the sense that it’s the weekend and I’m going to go spend Easter with my mum.

I’m such a heathen.  I went to Catholic school for 12 years and then decided organised religion wasn’t really for me and haven’t really paid attention to the meaning of the holidays since then.  Like I guess I celebrate them cuz everyone else does but really I’ve kinda just decided that I’m cool with my own made up spiritual beliefs.

Ooh.  Religion is such a taboo topic in a public forum.  I’ll stop now.  I was just thinking about it cuz I’m at work hella early cuz it’s Good Friday and we only have to work half day so the earlier I come in the earlier I get to leave. 😉

Tunes:
Dave Owen – Stay Cool (track is in music player)
I’m a Dave Owen fan.  There’s a bunch more of his tracks that I love of his and have chicken scratch post it notes for but unfortunately no samples.  I like this tune, I mean it’s pretty hard to hate anything with a Biggie sample in my opinion.

Todays Oldie:
Craggz & Parallel Forces –  Fizzy PigletsValve Recordings 2004
I saw that they have a DOA mix that I was considering posting but then decided to go with an oldie by them instead cuz today I’m all about the ASC mix below that I found on Everyday Junglist.  Love C & P though.  Good tune.

Whistle While I Work

I’ve been a force to be reckoned with this week.  Like I said before, my boss is going away next week and so he’s been piling on the work.  I’ve come in like every day at 7 or so and have just been toiling away.  Employee of the month for sure. 😉

Tunes:
Spectrasoul – AlibiBreak Remix (track is in Spectrasoul player)

Today’s Oldie:
CalibreBulletsSignature Records 2005
Not that old but still awesome.  I woke up with this really somber feeling and this track popped into my head.  I just love Diane Charlemagne’s voice.  As cheesy as it sounds, her vocals really encompass the soul of the track.  The bassline is just so simple yet moving.  I’m no music journalist so I’m sure I should have come up with some better ways to describe this track but whatever.

Found this one on DOA.  The tracklist looks awesome.

Melancholy Kiki

There’s always that strange sense of longing after you come back from a trip.  No matter how little the trip is.  Once you have to get back to your regular life it just doesn’t seem as exciting.  I’m gonna have to come up with some interesting things to stop my week from being so bloody boring.

Tunes:
Electrosoul SystemWhale Dance
This one is a bit odd but I’m  a big ESS fan so I reckon I’ll probably like anything he puts out.

Sabre – Global (track is in player)
I like Sabre’s grittiness.

Hobzee & Zyon BaseSad Song (track is in Hobzee player)
Love this one.  So pretty and chill.

Today’s Oldie:

There seems to be a mix drought.  I’m not finding them as easily as I usually do.  I commend my buddy Doddi cuz he always seems to find a bunch of mixes that I have never even seen.  I found this one and listened to it and it’ll do for today.

Rusko = Party

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.

Scorpion Kiki

Submorphics is trekking across the pond  for the next six months so we’re having a little Chitown dnb posse going away dinner at the hot spot Wing Hoe.  I’m excited cuz I’m totally in a Wing Hoe mood and will definitely indulge in a signature scorpion drink.  Yum.

Lots of dnb goodness today in the Chi.  Sinistarr and Submorphics will be joining Stunna in the Greenroom for his Bassdrive show which will definitely be dope and the new dnb monthly Shakedown starts at Lava today so if you’re around you should tune in and stop by.

Golden

Apparently Smart Bar with Goldie headlining was the place to be in Chitown last night.  I went to go see my buddy  Submorphics and he killed it.  Like seriously.  I even danced… yes I actually did.  Some wicked sounds.  The place was packed, people dancing etc.  I didn’t stay for Goldie. I’m not down to be up until the wee hours of the morning when I have to work the next day…  remember what happened last time! Plus I’ve seen him so many times so I didn’t mind dipping out early.  Is 1:00 a.m. early?? Anyways, I haven’t been to a dnb show at a club like that in a while.  Good times.

I am actually relieved friday is here.  Unlike the past couple of weeks I feel like this one has gone by exceptionally slowly.

Have a good weekend.

Tunes:
Squash & Brother – Brain Train (track is in Brother player)
I was under the impression that I had already said that I like this tune but as I was looking at Brother’s page I realised I hadn’t.  I’ve been digging it for a hot minute.  It’s sultry.  Loves it.

Caleb & Kiki

I’ve been recording mixes at my friend Caleb’s studio for the past 3 years.  He has a really nice studio.  I always entitle them Caleb’s Party Mix No. whatever.  I have about 25 of them.  They are listening mixes, not ones for people to jam out to.  The best advice anyone ever gave me when I was first learning to mix was to constantly record yourself just to know how you sound so it’s something I do on a regular basis.  It has helped me immensely.  Anyways as I was cleaning out my car the other day I found all of them and have been listening to them non stop.  Right now I’m immersed in dnb circa 2006.  Woot.

I mixed this one this weekend.  I already told you about my obsession with Jodeci so I definitely loved this track since it samples a little bit of  Come Up To My Room featuring Tha Dogg Pound.  It’s definitely a nasty song but whatever I still love it.  Dope.
