Oh Boy

KikiLeave a comment

It’s funny that I wrote a post about how I don’t wild out and then I go and stay out til 5:40 a.m. last night.

I’m tired. I’m such a geriatric.

Tunes:
Scenic & Advisory – Don’t Tell Me
It’s no secret that I’m totally jockin Scenic & Advisory these days. LOL. Right now my fave of theirs is called Nothing Is Forever but sorry I don’t have a sample, I’ve just been hearing it on Bassdrive. Don’t Tell Me is dope too though. These guys’ music is totally the pretty dnb that I love. Check out the other stuff in their player.

Friday

KikiLeave a comment

Boo.  I totally missed out on that Commix mix.  I meant to download it yesterday but never got around to it and then they took the link down.  Gotta be quick, I guess.

It’s Friday.  Holla.  I remember when my coworker at Adidas got a regular 9 to 5, he said to me that the weekends don’t get old and he’s totally right.  After working retail/restaurant jobs for 13 odd years, the thought of never having to work on a Saturday or Sunday is still the most exciting thing ever and I’ve been working at my regular 9 to 5 for a year. 😉

Tunes:
Paul SG & FX909 – Never Again (track is in Paul SG player)

Redeyes – Cruise Ship To The Stars (Chris Su Remix)

The track is in the Spearhead Records player.  This remix is fresh. I love it.

Today’s Oldie:
Brockie & Ed Solo – Echo Box – True Playaz 2002

Dj Kane – Konga – Undiluted Records 2000 (track is in player)
I decided to do a double whammy on the oldies tip today.  I really wanted to just put the whole Showdown EP.  The Undiluted posse brings back so many interesting memories of old rave days in Minneapolis .  I remember Kane and the lot and our excursions to the Mall of America as well as rescuing them from a motel that another promoter had put them in that was hella ghetto.  They swore they heard gunshots and seeing as the motel was located on Franklin Ave., I wouldn’t be surprised.  Oh the good old Jungle Vibe Collective rave days.

Offshore Recordings has a podcast now.  Looking forward to checking out the first installment.

Waiting For Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m going to Mexico next week for my best friend’s wedding.  I feel like all I’m doing these days is just waiting to leave.  The weather is whatever, work is whatever, going out is whatever.  I’m not in a bad mood about it or anything, I just want to lie on a beach and drink the beautiful cocktails that I love to daydream about and soak up the sun as soon as possible.  7 days and counting.  Holla.

Tunes:
Dub Tao – Upwise (track is in player)
I’m not very familiar with these guys but I do like this track and I like the other stuff in their player too.

Wild Out Wednesday

KikiLeave a comment

Well not really, I definitely wouldn’t classify myself as a person who “wilds out.” I’ve just always thought that phrase was funny. The hosts on 106th & Park always sound so amped when they talk about it “What up, what up what up, it’s WILD OUT WEDNESDAY!!!”

I will however be “wildin’ out” to Mutt today though. I feel like my whole day will be Mutt related. LOL. First, he’s playing Bassdrive from 2pm to 5pm cst for a special Greenroom session with Stunna, and Sinistarr so definitely tune in. Then he’s also playing at Seminar tonight.

Tunes:
Lenzman – Last Day On Earth (track is in player)

Eveson – Food For Thought (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
J Majik & Danny J – The Lizard – Infrared Records 2000
This wasn’t one of my fave J Majik tracks but I do remember people going nuts on the dancefloor so I figured it would work for today.

Might as well keep up the Greenroom momentum and post an old Stunna & Pipeline sesh from 2007.

Enjoy.

Where Oh Where Has My Record Gone?

KikiLeave a comment

I have a lot of dnb records.  I’ve been buying them since 1994.  Needless to say sometimes if I can’t find a record it just stays missing for a long period of time.  LOL.  It’s even worse now because I don’t have my whole collection at my apartment, some is at my mum’s etc.  Everything from about 1999 onwards is pretty much at my place though.

I remember a couple of years ago I lost my Martyn – Nxt 2 U.  I went through all my records and it was just missing.  When I used to play out a lot, I could at least entertain the notion that I might have lost it at a gig but I don’t really play out anymore so if I lose a record it HAS to be in my place!!  I remember Stunna helped me look and we just didn’t see it.  All the other Martyn records were there but no Nxt 2 U.  I found it a year later.  Just sitting on the shelf, peacefully, untouched and dust bunnied.

Why am I telling you this story?  Today’s oldie is a Bad Company record that I’ve been thinking about buying again because I was convinced it was lost.  It was one of my favourites on this one Virus double pack.  I seriously have been looking for that record since I moved to Chicago back in ’02.  I was convinced that I had lost it in the move from Minneapolis.  When I was at Gramaphone on Saturday I saw a used copy and almost bought it but decided I’d have one more look through my shit.  I went to go mix at Reisha’s yesterday and went through all my Virus stuff and the record was just there, just hanging out.  Where do they hide??? 🙂

Tunes:
Scenic & Advisory – Science Friction (track is in player)

Soulmatic – Self Belief (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
Bad Company – Skin Tag – Virus Recordings 1999
Picking Bad Company on the regular for my oldies has rehashed my love for them.

Friday = Fabulosity

KikiLeave a comment

I’m having a pretty great morning so that makes it even more exciting that it’s friday.  It’s stopped being freezing and it’s kinda warm outside, which is also lovely… You know you’re a Midwesterner when you think its warm when it’s still only 30 degrees.

Tunes:
S.P.Y – Sunship (track is in player)
I can’t figure out if I like this tune cuz it’s good or cuz it has that feel of A.I.’s Movin On, which happens to be one of my favourite tunes.  Whatever, I like it regardless.  🙂

Today’s Oldie:
Ed Rush & Optical – Bacteria – Virus Recordings 1999
Tune!  I’ve been working out to a lot of classic tunes lately.  This is one that I was so about.  So good.  Dancefloor stormer, wonderful bassline, unique sound.  Loves it.  Early Virus stuff is killer.

flight-of-the-conchords1

I don’t mind the cold as much when there’s good tv to watch.  Flight of The Conchords season 2 just started and Bret, Jemaine and Murray are back to their old tricks.  Murray is definitely my favourite.  This show is hilarious.  Lovesit!

Small Bar was fun last night.  I got tired real quick though.  I feel like I’ve been running around a lot lately.  I keep saying I will just chill at the house but it doesnt actually end up happening.  I’ll work on it.  🙂

Tunes:
Horizons Music Presents – Internal Affairs Vol. 1
Lovin all these tracks on this LP especially Bachelors of Science – The Beautiful Life and also that Naibu remix I wrote about the other day is on there and Mutt’s -Open Wide.  Just ordered it.  Awesome.

Today’s Oldie:
Commix – Hung Up – Liquid V 2004
Not as old of an oldie today, but I was thinking of it this morning so I figured why not?  Lovely track.  I love Commix and this is definitely one of my faves.  A lot of really great liquid came out in 2004.
