Raaaah

Kiki1 Comment

I don’t really have much to babble about these days.

I feel like maybe I’m way to scatterbrained about getting ready to jet outta town.

I’m running around like Taz, that’s his name right? I’m prone to accidentally deciding things are a certain way so I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong and I’m also too lazy to look it up. Basically I keep whirring from place to place and spouting random nonsense. LOL.

I can’t believe how excited I am to see my family. They are dope.

Tunes:
There’s a couple of tracks I’ve really wanted to write about but I don’t have samples and I know that’s annoying but today I’m going to write about them anyways.

Random Movement – RM is killing it these days. Seriously. My fave song right now is Used Illusions. I’ve been coveting it for a couple of weeks and I hear it all the time on Bassdrive. So so so good. Tune in, I’m sure someone will play it or better yet check out his show, wednesdays 5 – 7pm cst. Also Smooth Transitions is fresh and I’m loving Revealed.

Style Control – Devil’s Wind Dope. Love it. Will Miles and Kjell. Nice duo. Check out other tracks in their player.

Today’s Oldie:
Remarc – R.I.P. – Suburban Base Records 1995
I figured this would be a fitting oldie. I can’t remember if I wrote about this already, I’m sure I did, but whatever, anyways, in my mother’s Sierra Leone culture we celebrate every 5 years after someone dies. My stepfather died around xmas 5 years ago so there’s a huge ceremony this year. I’m kinda into this idea of remembering a loved one cuz it’s not morbid at all. We have a ceremony where everyone tells their favourite stories about the person that has past and then there’s a huge party. It’s pretty fun. Classic dnb tune. Going out to my stepdad.

Already listened to this mix from Offshore’s Dj Clever. Good ish.

Ready, Steady…. Go

KikiLeave a comment

The countdown begins. I feel like I’ve got a ton of shit to do before I leave to go home on wednesday.

This weekend was ridiculously cold. It’s just weird when the temperature is actually a negative number. It doesn’t matter how long you live somewhere, I don’t think the shock ever goes away.

Tunes:
Mistabishi – Greed

Today’s Oldie:
Kemal & Rob Data – Star Trails – Audio Blueprint Recordings 2000
Ooh this is a good one.

Eggnog

KikiLeave a comment

I always see people drinking eggnog at these holiday parties on telly. You know how there are somethings that you’ve never actually tried but you know for a fact that you won’t like it? Eggnog is definitely one for me. Strangely enough though I like eggnog flavoured things: Eggnog latte at Starbucks… dope, eggnog flavoured ice cream… fresh. Actual eggnog… negatory.

It’s my work holiday lunch today. Hopefully there will be NO eggnog there. The other perks are just fine with me, half day, free food, and free drink, can you really beat that? Only 7 people work at my office and me and Allie are the youngest ones, so there’s no real PAAARTAY going on. LOL. I’m way more into a fancy pants lunch anyways though. 😉

I’m listening to Spinn on Bassdrive. Tune in dammit!

Tunes:
Adam Form – Halls Shine (track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie:
Barrington Levy – Under Mi Sensi (X Project Remix) – Greensleeves Records 1994
I was a huge ragga jungle fan. There’s a load of really great ones but this one was definitely one of my personal faves. Just like Brandy samples go so well with dnb tracks, I think ragga and old skool jungle were such a great comb0. Nice rowdy vibe at all times.

It’s NOT Your Birthday…

KikiLeave a comment

I moved to Chicago 6 years ago. I was 25 and ready to party. Compared to what my life was like back then, I’m prolly the most boring person ever now. I went to school from 8 to 4. Worked at this restaurant from 5 to 1230 or 1. Partied from 130 til 330. EVERY NIGHT. This is no joke. I barely sleep as it is now but back then I don’t know how I survived cuz I really never slept. This went on for like 3 years. I met Reisha and CC at that time and we partied non stop.

One year on Reisha’s bday we went to Sonotheque. She drank a gazillion drinks and passed out in the bar, like full on sleep on one of the couches style. They kicked her out and were like tell your friend she can’t sleep in here. LOL.

Mine and Reisha’s bdays are exactly two weeks apart. We went to Sonotheque on my bday too (this was when Sonotheque was the shit and I used to go there like every week) and the bouncer looked at Reisha and was like “Remember, it’s NOT your birthday, behave yourself.” It was hilarious.

The reason that I’m telling you this story is because yesterday you would have thought it was my birthday and not Bass By The Pound’s. LOL. I had so much fun. I didn’t even get out of control drunk or anything. I just had a really good time. Everyone was in a good mood. Submorphics had a really great set. Total Science killed it. I danced a bunch. Submorphic’s buddy Sinistarr came in to town for the show and hung out. Stunna joined in the festivities too. Juju fell asleep but then woke up and showed up at Lava and I was happy she came and kicked it. Really good turn out for BBP’s anniversary. It was just an all round good night. It’s nice to drink a bunch, hang out with your friends, listen to good music, have fun and not be hungover the next day. 😉

Tunes:
Human Factor feat. Emma Brammer – This Way
Nice simple tune. I like the basic pretty ones every now and again.

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Zinc – Hear No Evil – Polydor 2003
Love this one. The Marky & Bungle remix is great too but the original was really good to begin with. I’m a Zinc fan. He has good tracks. I don’t really like a lot of his newer stuff but I do own a lot of his records.

Spinn – The Cycle (Dec 5 ’08 Bassdrive Archive)
No tracklist. Just 3 hours of good tunes. He had a guest mix from Aaron Bond on there too which I was totally digging.

I wish I had exciting things to tell you today but I don’t. LOL.

Going to Seminar tonight. It’s their 11th anniversary. Woot woot. Total Science is playing along with my buddy Submorphics. Should be a good night.

Tunes:
Will Miles – 1 Week Later Been hearing this one for a while. It’s out on vinyl now.

Today’s Oldie:
Vinyl Syndicate – Man Of Steal – Urban Takeover 1998
Hmmm. I can’t say I really cared for the whole Superman theme to this tune but I did kinda like the bassline. In my rave days, any rowdy bassline warranted me dancing in front of a speaker. I really wasn’t too picky. LOL. Remember when there were all these weird novelty jungle tracks that had theme songs from tv shows and shit? I’m happy that era never made a come back. I don’t actually own this record but for some reason today I was thinking about a rave I went to where everyone was going gaga over this tune and figured it wouldn’t hurt to post it as my oldie. 🙂

It’s raining and it made me think of this amazing Orange Juice Jones video. LOL. This video is pure hilarity. “You cold busted!” I can’t embed it but you really should check out the link if you’re bored. Awesome.

Orange Juice Jones – The Rain

Tunes:
Sincere Bootleg Ooh I’ve been waiting for this one. I couldn’t find a link before but I’m happy to share one with you now. This is a great bootleg.

Cyantific – Quiet Star – Hospital Records 2004
I don’t have some great background story with this tune. I just like it a lot. It’s a good tune.

Bassdrive Fuzed Funk w/ Jason Magin – Rainy Day Rollers 11/30/08
No Tracklist – Just liquidy goodness.
I was happy to come across this mp3 because it’s perfect for what’s going on outside here in Chicago. It’s raining cats and dogs! What a strange phrase. I’ve always been a big fan of the rain, as long as I’m not in it.

We all know that I listen to Bassdrive all day every day but I’ve actually never listen to Jason Magin’s Fuzed Funk show. It was a welcomed treat to my morning. I really enjoyed it.

Manic Monday

Kiki2 Comments

“It’s just another Manic Monday o oo o”

I loved that Bangles song. What girl in the 80s didn’t? Susanna Hoffs was the shit. Don’t get me started on Eternal Flame. LOL.

I actually had a really great weekend. A lot of hanging out went on.

Saturday I had to go to Chuck E. Cheese for my Jessica’s kid’s bday. What a nightmare that place is. My child will NEVER have a party there. The other parents kept saying to me, “this is probably making you decide you don’t want kids” but actually I wasn’t thinking that at all. The place itself was horrible not necessarily the children. Bad kids are bad because of bad parents that has nothing to do with not wanting kids. Chuck E. Cheese’s atmosphere is just chaotic on it’s own, that’s why I thought it was insane. I needed a nap after only being there for an hour and a half!

Hung out with Dan and Jay. Dan’s heading home to Romania for the holidays and I haven’t seen Jay in ages so it was nice to spend some time with them.

Hung out with Reisha, mixed a pretty nice old skool set and played with her baby.

Spent all day hanging out with Stunna yesterday after I picked him up from the airport drank and talked about dnb. I talk about Stunna a lot because he’s one of the few people that doesn’t mind rambling incessantly about dnb with me. Submorphics come in at a close second as he has become quite tolerant of my aim convos and doesn’t seem to mind keeping me company at work. LOL.

Told you a lot of hanging out went on.

Tunes:
Beatkonexion feat. Mike Romeo – Soldiers (track is in the Mike Romeo player)

Lynx & Atlantic Connection – Danger Zone (Submorphics Remix) (track is in the AC player) I didn’t really like the original of this. It was ok. The remix is dope though. Very sexy.

Today’s Oldie:
Mental Power – Purple (Barcode Remix) – Formation 1997
I had Formation Records nostalgia and mixed a little Colour Series/Country Series/VIP box set in my old skool set on saturday and was like ooh I gotta put the Purple Remix as my oldie for monday. This one goes out to my buddy Rob from my JVC crew. We were both big fans of this track.
