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. 😉

Went to Seminar last night. Greg had a really lovely set. Hung out with Ju Ju, chatted a lot with Stunna about dnb. I love our little chats. He really is my dnb encyclopedia. Discussed a lot about how much i’m digging Donnie Dubson’s stuff. His Anti Depressing Soul Music EP just came out on promo and it’s just dope. Goonies is definitely my favourite track on there but I really do love all four tracks. Here’s some gratuitous Chunk for no reason whatsoever. 😉

I’m having a pretty average day. Nothing too spectacular to report.

Shouts to Jamar for helping translate Maxtekk’s page. 🙂

P.S.

On the page that had this Random Movement mix there was also Calibre and Marky’s b2b set from the same night. I would have posted it except for the fact that there is the most horrid emcee chatting throughout and I couldn’t take it, which is a bummer cuz it sounded like there were some decent tracks in the mix. Here’s the link if you feel like you can handle the dude’s voice. Don’t fret though this Random Movement mix doesn’t disappoint. I’ve been listening to it for the past couple of days. Mike is on fire lately, I swear, he’s got so many tracks floating around!

So I’ve already admitted that I have ultra nerdy tendencies when it comes to my dnb. One of the things that I do religiously is write down the name of tracks with hopes of someday owning them. I know sometimes these tracks never come out but with this day and age there’s hope that I could track down and mp3 or something eventually.

I have this folder in my email where I just email myself track names and just kinda glance over them every once in a while to update it and keep track if I have managed to acquire any of the tunes. One tune that’s been on there for years is a track I identified as a “Brother” Calibre Remix on Defunked. I didn’t just make this title and label up on my own. I copied it from numerous tracklists of mixes that I had heard that track on since 2003. Well lo and behold that is not the name of the track and that’s why I’ve never been able to find it. My dnb encyclopedia Stunna enlightened me today. I should feel some sense of relief cuz this is one of the main tracks on the list that has puzzled me as I have never been able to find it. Alas I’m so over it now that I don’t even care and can’t be bothered to even tell you what the track was. I just bought the cd off amazon so I guess I can move on with my life. LOL.

I saw a promo for the Marcus Intalex – Astro Dance EP and got confused cuz I could have sworn The Sentry has been making the rounds forever. I’m already sick of hearing that track. Funnily though after a quick chat with Submorphics we concluded that I listen to too many mixes so here I am thinking that tracks have already come out because I’ve been listening to them for months but in fact they haven’t been released. *shrugs* I haven’t bought a Soul:R record in two years at least. They just don’t seem to hit it with me like they used to. I love Marcus Intalex but I feel like the releases aren’t as amazing as lets say an Outerspace. I liked The Sentry when I first heard it and I do like Cabin Fever. I guess it’s a decent release, I just don’t know if I’ll buy it though.

I’ve been really busy at work today typing this brief for my boss. I can think of nothing more boring. It’s 20 pages so far. *sigh* I’m just listening to music and trying to stay awake.

I’ve got no idea who this Maxtekk is but I really liked the mix. There’s a few technical glitches here and there but I loved the selection. His page is in Russian so if you can read it lemme know the details about him cuz I am unfortunately am not fluent in Russian. 😉

Dillinjaaaaaaaa

KikiLeave a comment

The last of my friends left today. 😦 It’s easy to get used to having your friends around. It just becomes normal having them be part of your everyday activities.

Erin mixes house and wanted to go to Gramaphone yesterday. We totally got trapped in the storm over there. It was crazy. While she shopped, I perused the dnb section and came across a copy of Dillinja’s – Fluid/Hard Noize on Test Recordings. Who sold that?? Are you crazy? It was obviously someone who decide they totally hate dnb now cuz no dnb loving person would part with that record. LOL. I own it and mine is so scratched up from overuse yet I refused to part with it. I gladly paid my $4.99 for this lovely gem and went on my merry way. What a great gem to come across! That record is sick. I remember when that record came out it was such the buzz. “Did you get your Test 2?” “Have you heard Test 2?” “Test 2 is wicked!” and so forth. It’s really all about Fluid. That’s what was causing all the ruckus. The way that track sounded on a loud sound system just drove the ravers wild. I was very happy with my lucky find. Now I can get rid of my scratched up copy since it wasn’t playable anyways.

Saburuko has some top notch stuff. I have been loving everything I’ve been hearing.

Saburuko – A Darker Side / Solstice

I’m feeling a tiny bit better but still a bit under the weather. I think I just have to have a good lie down and just kinda enjoy my time to myself. My roomate is going to Sweden tomorrow so that will be the perfect opportunity to kick back.

Not feeling too well.  I really think my bouts with sickness might have something to do with my office. Before I started working here I really was one of those people that never got sick and all of a sudden I find myself being poorly quite frequently.

I had a good weekend.  It was nice to see my friends.  Jess’s party was cool.

I’m having a pretty blah day.  I’m sure it has to do with the rain and the feeling sick etc.

I was listening to Decem’s “Don’t Sleep” (track is in the player) this morning.  Still really digging that track.  It gets stuck in my head on the regular.

Kinda digging this Kjell – Empty Wallets.

I was pretty excited when I saw this Randall mix.  Someone on the Breaksblog board made a comment about not hearing a mix of Randall’s without an MC.  It’s so true!  I think the last time I heard a mix of his with no MC was back in the late ’90s. LOL.

KikiLeave a comment

Ugh. I’ve become one of those people that eagerly awaits friday’s arrival. My jobs usually have been restaurants or retail and you actually dread friday’s cuz that means the weekend’s here and we’re going to be horribly busy. Knowing I only have 4 weeks left at adidas makes me excited for fridays cuz pretty soon I’ll have 2 days of freedom. Holla!

I’m actually in a pretty good mood. I’m excited for Jess’s party tonight and for my friends from Minneapolis to get here. The party is gonna be really fun. How can it not be? It’s an event involving my closest friends. It’s kinda hard not to have fun when you’re surrounded by people you’re fond of.

I listened to Spinn’s show again this a.m. I really like his show a lot. I feel like it’s a very friendly dnb environment. It’s nice to know that you can just tune in and hear a friendly voice play music that you like and inform you about the latest dnb artists and what not. I keep gushing about him so much cuz I’m a new listener. I was not really around to listen to Bassdrive shows before cuz I was working retail and the only ones I usually did take time to tune in to were Stunna’s and Pipeline’s cuz they are people I hang it with all the time so I would just tune in automatically. Anyways Spinn is a welcomed addition to my friday schedule.

Donnie (Future Prophet) kindly informed me about the Zyon Base tracks that he played on wednesday which I greatly appreciate and can now stop griping about not finding the ones I like. Tombstone Blues is great. Low bassline with a silky vocal. Nice tune. It’s in his player.

Dan Marshall – Same ‘Ol. Great tune. I have this raggedy post it note that’s sticking out of my notebook telling me to write about this track. That was last month. I definitely am not the most organized person. It’s a real great tune. I dont’ have a sample of it, I don’t even have a mix with it on there so I just listen to the Bassdrive hoping someone will play it. What a saddo I am. Hee hee. Spinn actually played it this morning so I was happy. You can listen to the archive of his show here.

Stunna & Contour – Confusion. Love it! I feel like I’ve become Blaine Edwards and

Antoine Merriweather from In Living Colour!!! Love it! Hate it! LOL. I’m still really into Neverlove. They make a good team… Stunna and Contour I mean. 😉

Stunna played a pretty cool Blake Reary remix yesterday by Advisory (there’s a sample in the player). Atmospheric and pretty indeed.

Man, do I want to leave. Maybe if I actually do some work time will fly by faster.

Have a good weekend

I’m a little late on the posting today. I actually have been working diligently for the past 5 and 1/2 hours. No internet, no iming, no reading blogs. Just straight up work. It’s amazing what you can get done when you don’t procrastinate.

Yesterday, when I got home I kept being like “ooh I should have wrote about this track” but of course stupid me didn’t write them down and I can’t even remember what the hell I was thinking about cuz my mind is totally blank. Weird. Well maybe not weird, cuz I find it hard to focus on things for too long anyways, so lets just say… annoying.

I went to Lava last night and I actually had a good time. Jujitsu Jellybean was there and so was Stunna. I hadn’t been there in a while so it was nice to hang out with my peeps. Nameloc played last night and he had a really nice set. He played the Perculator Dubstep Refix by Jaybird. Love it! It’s just a dirty and nasty tune. Future Prophet and BRC threw down too and I loved it as well.  I even remember dancing slightly.  Stop the presses!  Old lady on the dance floor.

I think I was really in the mood for a night out with good music. I got to hear that Lynx – Distance Zero on a loud system and I love it even more.  I’ve been listening to it in my headphones for the past month and sometimes it’s just nice to hear shit out loud in an open space.  I also heard some Zyon Base tune I was into, don’t know the name.  I was complaining to Stunna that I’ve been hearing a bunch of Zyon Base stuff that I really like but whenever I search for his stuff online I only come across the tracks I’m not overly chuffed about.  Go figure.

I guess I’ll have to start trainspotting more than I already do.  There’s not point in having a blog where I write about the latest tracks that I like if I don’t know the names of any of them is there?  I will say though,  I’m a bit sad that I’ve somehow turned into the annoying girl that asks for track names all the time. I’m definitely keep the question asking to a minimum from now on.  I’ll only ask the people that know that I’m being annoying by asking for the track name of every single fucking dnb track ever made but still manage to love me just the same. 😉

I’m feeling a bit out of sorts and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe I just need to have a good lie down or something.

Can you believe it’s Friday already tomorrow?

Is busy body one word or two? And… Does anyone use that term besides my mum and 75 year old ladies??

Ugh my throat hurts again. 😦

Lame.

It’s 2:20 p.m. The clock needs to move a wee bit faster in my opinion.

Listening to Stunna on Bassdrive, you should tune in.

Busy, busy, busy. I’m sure there’s a ton of stuff I could talk about but I’m a bit too preoccupied.

Tracks I’m loving…

Donnie Dubson – 6am (track is in the player)

Technicolour – Half A Chance (no sample. eek)

Random Movement – Reasoning With The Weeds (no sample again. boo.)

If I was a dnb superstar I could probably get these samples to share, but alas I am not and therefore am just a timewasting blogger who alerts you of tracks I think are cool. 😉

Can’t say I’m too excited about the Calibre Electric Soul EP. It’s good but I won’t die if I don’t own it.

I’m a wee bit crabby today. Boo. 😦

Too much annoying work and I sure as hell don’t feel like doing it, which is just pathetic since it’s only tuesday. Boo squared.

I am really looking forward to this weekend though. It’s my friend Jessica’s 30th bday and a bunch of our friends from Minneapolis are coming for the weekend. Jessica is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She was my old roomate when I lived in Minneapolis and she moved to Chicago the year after I did. I think it was a bonus for me because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have settled in as easily to my Chicago lifestyle if I hadn’t had someone that was a good friend that knew me really well to kick it with while I went on my quest to meet new people.

I’m quite fond of my friends. Five of them from Minneapolis are coming up for the weekend and they are both mine and Jessica’s mutual really good friends. I know it sounds dumb and corny to talk about how much you appreciate your friends, but as you get older it’s a lot harder to make new friends. I’ve had the same tight knit group of friends for 11 to 12 years. They aren’t acquaintances who I just see out. They are genuine people who have been a part of my life consistently and actually care about what happens to me. I thought that everyone had those go to people that they rely on no matter what but I’m discovering that that isn’t really always the case and therefore I am very grateful for my friends. The key test to friendship is when you have significantly big changes in your life, whether or not those people continue to be your friends. Be it having a child, moving to a different state or getting married. All three of these things have happened to our group of friends and our friendships are still in tact and still as strong. I’m quite fortunate that I met some really great people once I moved to Chicago too and have added them to my little group. I hope others have the same luck I do cuz honestly, there’s nothing better than having great friends. 🙂

*end of emo rant*

I heard some new Hospital Records stuff that wasn’t really my cup of tea. Bah, I think I might just not be that into the direction they are heading these days. No harm done. Not every sound is gonna please everyone. it’s still a pretty good label regardless.

Part one of Redeyes’ LP is out on promo. I really like the Conart track. I can’t say I’m really into that Deeizm track. I think she’s a really great emcee but I kinda get annoyed when the vocals tend to dominate a whole track unless your Diane Charlemagne or something. Yeah I’m a picky bitch. Whatever.

Redeyes – Poetry In Motion LP Part 1

I’ve been waiting for this Random Movement for ages. I fucking love this Lesson & Aftermath. It’s so melodic and just plain ol lovely, beautiful, liquidy, pretty, all those adjectives and then some. Definite make out music. 😉 The flip is really good too.

I actually had a really good weekend. I’ve been really bored with my life lately. Shit just becomes too stagnant when you do the same things over and over again. I haven’t been frequenting Lava as much. I haven’t been kicking it with the usual suspects at the usual places. It was nice to just change stuff up. I hung out with different people and just didn’t do the same things I always do. It was really refreshing.

I went to see Stepbrothers. I admit that Will Ferrell can get annoying but I thought this movie was really funny. I think my expectations were really low and therefore I enjoyed it even more, but for what it was it was ridiculously funny. I laughed the entire time. As long as you don’t go into something pretending it something else you’re usually not going to be disappointed.

I was pretty busy this weekend and didn’t have time to go to the apple store, hence, I’m still ipod less. I rode my bike today, so no one harassed me on the train. I’m excited to get back into my ipod world but at the same time I’ve unfortunately gotten used to the mundane ipodless world.

Saw this new Commercial Suicide release that I’m kinda digging. Chris SU, Stress Level and Ant TC1, you can’t really go wrong there. I haven’t really bought anything by Stress Level and Ant TC1 over the past year, so I’m happy to see something I actually like.

Chris SU & Ant TC1 / Chris Su, Ant TC1 & Stress Level – The Vendetta / Final Cut

The other day in the Bassdrive chat room, people were complaining about Chemical Records. I was so shocked. They were talking about not receiving records and people being rude. It’s weird when a place doesn’t have consistent service. I feel like it’s important to have uniform service. Not to be a consumer nerd but dang, if you don’t make sure your employees treat people all the same way, it’s a sure fire way to lose business. I’ve never had any problems with them. I’ve always had perfect service. My records arrive in a ridiculous record amount of time. All their employees have been nothing but exemplary to me. Crazy that others would have the complete opposite experience. Chemical should really sort that out!

I don’t usually like to post sendspace mixes cuz I like my downloading experience to be a one click operation but this Dj Clart and Simplification mix looks wicked so I guess i’ll concede for today. 🙂

I <3 Weekends

Kiki3 Comments

I’m beginning to dread my weekly saturday shift at Adidas. Five more weeks until I no longer work there. I’m just really looking forward to having 2 days off a week. It’s not cool working six days a week. I’ve worked in the retail and restaurant industry for the past 13 years. In both of those arenas, the weekends are where the money is at so I’ve pretty much worked weekends for the past 13 years. Yikes. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself with two whole days to do as I please. 🙂

I’m kinda enjoying relaxing at work today. My boss is out of town and I’m listening to Spinn on Bassdrive so I guess I have everything I am in current need of for the next 3 hours.  We’ll make this post short and sweet. 😉
