I went to not one, but two desert weddings! One in Taos and one in Joshua Tree. Did some sightseeing, drank some tiki drinks and lost money at the casino. Not a lot though because I’m aware of what rubbish luck I have and only allotted myself a very small amount of money. 😂
Both weddings were lovely and I’m so happy for my friends. I had to do a shit ton of work just to be able to go, but it was worth it. I’m back and spending the day winding down in preparation to go back to work.
That emoji is my current mental state. I’m not sad, I’m just trying to make it through the day. I think since I booked my ticket and know that I’ll be headed to London soon, anxiety wants to kick it with me all damn day and I’m like “Okay, I guess you can come.”
Anyway, I’m listening to a Bank mix and lesson planning and he played this amazing oldie.
I haven’t listened to this track in ages. Such a lovely tune. Hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I did.

I met Alley Cat about 12 years ago or so. I had heard of her in her SF days and always thought she was such a bad ass. She came to dj in Chicago when I lived there and we became homies. She’s an awesome multi-hyphenate helping to do amazing things for women in music, and you can read all about herhere.
I’m glad she posted the SoundCloud link to this mix cuz she did recently so I can share it with you.
You know when you have too much stuff going on so you just kind of mentally check out and hope it all goes ok… No? Just me? 😂
I’ve got a lot of stuff going on and I’m definitely all over the place. The only thing keeping me on track is that I’m one of those annoying “put everything in my calendar” people. Shout out to my Google Calendar for letting me know where to be and what to do.
I had been putting a lot of stuff on hold because I wasn’t able to physically do anything due to COVID restrictions. Now the restrictions that had been stopping me have been lifted and shit’s got to get done, which makes me sad, breaks my heart all over again and causes me great anxiety.
I know everything will be sorted. I’vegot a great family and friends around me who are helping me. In the meantime though, I’ll just keep trudging along and hope I don’t let too much shit slip through the cracks.
Currently up way too early and listening to Pola & Bryson.
I was listening to some mix the other day and there was a dnb track on it that wasn’t a liquid tune, and I had no idea what sub category it would come under, so I couldn’t even attempt to look for it and there was no tracklist. I love the idea of not classifying anything and having it come under a huge umbrella, but at the same time it makes it more difficult to find what you like. Is there a category called “extremely gritty and growly with a melancholy melody? Is that still considered liquid? 😂
When I started listening to jungle/dnb I was all about the harder the better. I used to call the category I liked “Angry White Boy DNB”. I remember playing the Minnesota State Fair at like 10am and just blasting the noisiest, loudest dnb and having parents walk by with their kids and be like WTF. Don’t worry by the afternoon the intended crowd was there. I was booked to play a 4 hour set for 3 days. The first 2 hours were rough because no ravers were trying to show up to the state fair at 10am, but they were there in the afternoon and it was fun.
Anyways, Dillinja’s Hard Noize showed up on my Spotify daily mix and I love it so much. I’ve brought it up on my blog many a time because it brings me so much joy. I think the original is the best. Haven’t really been much of a fan of any of the remixes. What a great tune.
There’s this Monty tune that he played on that mix with him and Redeyes that I’m hoping comes out soon. In the meantime, you know me, forever listening to old dnb tunes that came out ages ago with a sprinkle of newer stuff when I try to hang with the cool kids.
This post is just verbal vomit and mad disjointed because I’m avoiding lesson planning and thinking random dnb thoughts.
Currently listening to some In:Most and Ruth Royal and pretending I’m on a tropical island, instead of at my desk making a handout.
Restrictions are being lifted and people are ready to let loose. My calendar is starting to fill up! Everyone wants to make up for lost time and I’m here for it. 🥰🥰🥰
Starting my a.m. off with this Loz mix. So many good tunes! 💜
What a nice way to head into the weekend! 2 of my faves, the homie Submorphics and Loz Contreras and Myras’s Old Red’s Drum & Bass show, together in one spot. Do yourself a favour and listen. 🥰
Also cop Submorphics’ new EP Newport Magnetic! I’m gonna give this one a proper listen through and through, so I don’t end up embarrassing myself asking for track IDs of my friend’s tunes that I should probably know. 😂
I’ve made an attempt to write several posts on here and then just kind of abandoned them.
2021 didn’t start out that great for me. My father passed away on December 30th of last year. There’s a lot to try and sort out as I live in America, my father was in London and we’re Sierra Leonean. I’ll be leaving on Monday to go to Sierra Leone to bury him as that was what he wanted.
I’ve been really overwhelmed and sad and have just been zoning out to dnb mixes as I try to get stuff organized.
Loz Contreras & Myras’s show has been so lovely. I am usually there to listen immediately after it’s posted, but the past 6 weeks have been a bit trying, so I’ve basically spent this week catching up on like 6 shows. The selection is 100% up my alley. I’m so here for the “feel good” selections. They are really comforting.
I really enjoyed this week’s show so I’m sharing it here. Always going to love a Logistics spotlight. 🥰
Writing tests for today. What else is new? LOL. It’s become my Thursday a.m. ritual. I’m not going to beat myself up about it anymore. They get done right?

It was my bday on Saturday. I have a pretty decent sized patio at my house and it’s come in pretty handy during quarantine as I’ve been able to have socially distanced hangs with a few friends. I had 3 friends over and we just sat outside and enjoyed numerious bottles of champagne and rosé and bougie snacks. I quite enjoyed the day! 🥰
It’s a holiday today. I’m just putt putting around getting house shit done and enjoying this Hybrid Minds Essential Mix.
Hope you all are having a fab day.
