Bangers & Mash

Can we talk about how exciting today is?! Well okay not that exciting, I do love to exaggerate, but exciting enough when you’ve been inquiring about a track to no avail and you finally have a breakthrough. ๐Ÿ˜‰

There’s this Survival tune that I’ve been loving since I heard it on Sabre’s Pyro Radio Mix. It’s the ultimate banger. Sabre said he had forgotten the name of it and then it seemed like other’s kept playing it and wouldn’t say what it was called. Fortunately I now I have the name of it and I can add it to my scroll of tracks that I’m waiting for. It’s called The Right Way and it’s on his Audiotactics page and I obviously didn’t look that hard for the name of the track cuz I’m pretty sure that tune has been up there the whole time. *sigh* Gimme a break, I have a short attention span. I never look for stuff for too long because I space out and forget and start doing something else.

I’m going to Seminar tonight. Sable Gray/Memory Trace is playing.

Sorry this is just a quick post. The work pile doesn’t seem to be letting up yet. Breaksblog hasn’t been posting mixes as often as they usually do. I’ll check out this Wilsh one though.

Calling All Patients…

I absolutely promise that today is the last day I write about being sick. I’m even sick of writing about it so Im sure you’re sick of hearing about it. I know I’m feeling better but I’m really not well. I justTonsilitis don’t feel like I’m dying anymore which is a definite step up. My throat is still really swollen though and I’ve got a really horrible headache. I haven’t eaten any real food for like seven days. I’ve been surviving on a soup and Jamba Juice diet because my taste buds are shot and my throat is too swollen for me to actually swallow anything. I like soup and Jamba Juice as much as the next person but for seven days in a row it’s not really that appetizing. I’ve finally decided that if I’m not fully better by thursday I’ll go to the doctor. It’s hard for me to consider actually going to the doctor because I never get sick and it’s not something I do that frequently. Usually I just wait for whatever I’ve got to go away on it’s own and it usually does but this, whatever it is, is staying put. I’m also pretty sure that my throat looks like the pic to the right, which is not cute. Sorry for the gross pic but we’re family now and I think you too should share in my misery. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Moving on, I went to the bike shop with CC yesterday. I’ve been trying to figure out what would be the best bike for me. I’m not trying to become a professional bike messenger type person. I just wanna ride my bike to work and around my neighbourhood. I’m willing to spend some money on it so I don’t necessarily think I should have to buy a bike from Target. I also have steep stairs so the bike has to be light enough that I can carry it without dying. I’ve decided to get a used one and fix it up. CC’s completely obsessed with her bike and she spent quite a pretty penny on it so she kinda knows what she’s doing and has been giving me some pointers. She also practically lives at the bike shop so at least I know the people won’t be a dick to me. We discussed all my needs and what I would have to get done and it seems like it’s all gonna go pretty well so I’m excited for next week’s prospects.

I guess I should make an official post about tomorrow. If you live in the Chi Town area, I’m playing at Lava. Random Movement is the Headliner. I’ll be playing from 10 til Midnight. I think it’s a pretty fun night but I’m biased because that’s where all my friends are. If you like dnb it’s definitely good local fun. Come hang out.

Seminar Flier

I heard this new Chase & Status tune the other day that I’m kinda digging Take Me Away. It’s weird how Chase & Status is so hit and miss for me. I really like the first tune and then you listen to the other one and I’m like ugh. There’s also a pretty cool Zero T remix of Leave Me Alone.

Anyways. That’s enough yapping for now.

Tracks Galore

I still haven’t gotten a new ipod dock. The apple store is downtown and I just Mr. Belvedere haven’t had time to get there yet. It’s my loss. My ipod died two days ago since it hasn’t been charged. It’s a bonus that I get to listen to music on the way to work but I also use my ipod to deter people from talking to me. Of course the second I don’t have my ipod, yesterday 2 homeless people hit on me and today a white man who looked like Mr. Belvedere and was at least 68 asked me out for coffee. Go figure. I guess it’s nice to know that I attract all kinds. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I was listening to Overfiend’s show on Bassdrive yesterday and there were sooooo many good cuts. I was feeling quite ill (and still am but am at work cuz I’m a trooper) but at least I got to listen to good music. I’m such a nerd I wrote down the key songs I was digging. I totally have a notebook where I keep songs that I hear and would like to get when they come out. Geeky? Yes indeed.

Dan MarshallWord’s Can’t Explain: I’ve heard this song a lot lately. The vocal is awesome.

SubmorphicsDesperate Times: I’m biased. Greg is friend of mine but I actually was a fan of his music before we became friends. I played Make It Happen (the mp3’s are switched so if you wanna hear Make It Happen click on the Young Ax tune) so much that I need a new copy.

Paul SGBright Soul: Am I horrible for not knowing who he is? Well I know him now. He has some awesome stuff. There was another track that he has with Calculon that I loved as well, Part of Me, which was pretty dope too.

Bachelors of ScienceBeautiful Life: Not really much to say here. BOS always have great stuff. I’m a big fan of theirs.

I just picked up that Makoto and Marky Rush Hour EP. Loving Get 2 This.

The workload has subsided a little so I’m just enjoying listening to music and focusing on revisions. Bailey opens his set up with our favourite dreadlocked wonder Will Miles and also has some serious action with my newest dnb obsession, Survival (yeh yeh yeh, I’m late jumping on the bandwagon) I’m twenty minutes in and already lovin it.ย  I guess I can tolerate Bailey’s love of the clown for a DNAudio set. ๐Ÿ™‚

Amen

Sometimes the only thing that makes sense to me is drum and bass. I know that sounds really corny but I can’t help it, it’s true.

I’ve got a really jumbled up brain. I have ADD pretty bad. It’s some how morphed into what I guess they now call Adult ADD. When I was younger I used to go to therapy for my ADD because I can’t concentrate, EVER, and it used to stress me out. The funny thing is now I’m older and instead of getting stressed out I just space out. It’s become pretty bad. If my brain becomes overloaded and I can’t take it anymore I just tune everything out and go into la la land. Trust me it’s a lot better if I don’t do it around other people because I’ve noticed that people tend to find it rude if you don’t pay attention when they are trying to tell you something. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anyways, I’m completely swamped at work. It’s a bit overwhelming. I have til the end of the week to complete my tasks and I’m not being pressured at all but at the same time when someone hands you 35 case files I think it’s natural to panic a bit.

So basically I’m tuning out the rest of the world and listening to dnb while I work diligently, silently saying my dnb prayers.

I decided to post this State of Mind mix because I’ve actually never listened to their installments of the next level show. When Sun King came out I was all about them and then I let them slip by the wayside. I don’t know what they’re up to these days but maybe I’ll find out after I listen to this mix.

I Got Tracks and Tracks and Tracks and Tracks…

I was thinking the other day about how many awesome tracks have been coming out lately.ย  There is just a really great group of producers out there right now making amazing stuff and it’s nice that it’s not just the usual suspects.ย  One person I’m really digging is Naibu from France.ย  I already picked up that Nami Island and I’m loving that Back Engineering.ย  Another group I’ve been turned on to is L.A.O.S. out of Finland.ย  I had a release that I picked up on one of those days that I was just itching to spend money and couldn’t find anything to buy and I quite liked it but never got anything else by them.ย  Right now though I’m totally into that Helsinki track of theirs.

I was listening to Brandy the other day and was thinking about how she is totally the dnb sample favourite.ย  LOL.ย  There are shitload of dnb tracks that sample her vocals.ย  TeeBee has two tracks that I love that use snippets of her tracks and there’s also a song on this Calculon mix below that samples “I Wanna Be Down.”ย  The vocal rifts on that song are very dnb compatible….. “And if I don’t let you know then I won’t be for real.”

I’ve been digging this Calculon mix.ย  It’s Rubik Records‘ Podcast number 10 and it’s just an all round good mix.ย  Rubik Records have a good podcast.ย  Stunna was on number 8.ย  You can download his installment at www.rubikpodcast.com.

I’m pretty content today, nice weather, good music, can’t really complain.

It’s Jazzy

I totally didn’t know Zero T had an album coming out. That’s definitely something to look forward to. I haven’t finished listening to that Bailey mix but I liked what I heard so far. Something I didn’t like on the mix though was that Nu:Tone “It’s Jazzy” remix. It’s the fifth track in. Eek. I like Nu:Tone but that track is very sacred to me. It was one of the first records I ever bought and one of the first ones I learned to match beats with and I just don’t think that remix does it justice. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ On a nicer note though I really do like Balaclava. That’s a sweet track.

I saw that Ill Logic & Raf have a new track coming on Double Zero Recordings. Be Free/Smash Daddy. I think I missed the promo round but hopefully will pick up the full release. I miss Ill Logic & Raf. I was a big fan of the Syracuse EP.ย  I’m glad they’ve got some new stuff coming out.

Found this Dan Marshall mix. I’m not as crazy about that “Crazy” track as everyone else is but I do like some of his other stuff.

Pretty chill day today, just working diligently and listening to music. Depressed about the weather going back to 55 degrees but I’m not gonna harp about it. Sometimes there is such thing as too much complaining. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I Have Zero Tolerance… For This Weather

I slept well last night and I’ve totally done everything I need to do so I’m feeling quite serene today. Also I’m excited at the prospect of 77 degrees on sunday and having three days off in a row.

Even though I post mixes everyday I don’t really get time to listen to all of them on that day and then we have the whole problem of me constantly listening to things on repeat so sometimes it takes a while to get through all of them. I’m currently stuck on that Dj Presha mix I posted last week. That’s a good one. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m also loving “Creatures of Habit” on the D-Bridge album. I’m not writing a review on the album. It’s good. Go get it. I didn’t really start this blog to review stuff, I’m not a music journalist. It’s just a soundboard to talk about my love of dnb. I think I was just so excited to finally receive my Calibre album that just I wanted to talk about it, so I wrote a review on it.

It’s grey outside and I’m over it. I’m in a pretty melody, cozy, lay on your couch and think about shit mood… Obviously since I’m at work, I’ll have to improvise. I’ve decided Zero Tolerance is just the guy to be the soundtrack to this setting. All of his collaborations are just so pretty. I don’t know what I’d do if someone told me I wasn’t allowed to use the word pretty to describe liquid funk! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I’m a huge Zero T fan. One of my favourite tracks is Refusal. I also really really love Round Table. I found this mix and I’ve got no idea who it’s mixed by but it’s all Zero T tracks so it serves the purpose.

Sappy McSapperson

I’ve been listening to that Blame on Charge Recordings that I posted about recently, Stay Forever. I feel like it’s a good way to start your morning.

Speaking of Charge, can we talk about how much I used to love “Feel Good?” Those were the good old days. I don’t really listen to much of Mampi’s stuff anymore though. You’ll have to get me to tell you the story one time of driving back from a crazy outdoor rave with him and R Notorious J and Skibba with Mampi driving my roomates car… Priceless.

Anyways, moving on. I was thinking about how most pretty vocal dnb tracks have super sappy lyrics. High Contrast’s – Eternal Optimist is one of my personal faves. I think that song is so pretty. I think the girly pretty nature of most liquid funk tracks is why some people tend to hate on it so much. *shrugs*

If you were to look at my music history, the back catalogue definitely shows that I would invest in sappy dnb songs in the future. I used to listen to a lot of sappy R&B songs. I probably still would if I actually listened to the radio or watched videos but since dnb and dubstep take up most of my time I don’t know any new mainstream R&B artists. Word on the street is that they’re rubbish anyways. Bummer.

I remember being twelve and getting ready to move to America and having to leave this boy who i had just started making out with. Of course being twelve, I was convinced my life was over since I didn’t want to move to America in the first place. I listened to Karyn White’s Superwoman over and over and over (see this caning tracks to death thing isn’t new to me) to assuage my discontent with the move. Pretty dnb does the same thing for me now. Not necessarily in assuaging making out with boys but appeasing my occasional discontent with life in general. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Stunna’s my main man when it comes to pretty dnb mixes. He switches it up every now and again but I’ve got a ton of old mixes to keep me happy. For those of you that live in Chicago he’ll being playing with Pipeline at Seminar tonight so you should stop by.

Here’s a little old jam loveliness to keep you busy.

Super Sharp Shooter

I’m waiting for my Danny Byrd Supersized EP. I think it comes out next week. Danny Byrd, for me, is my jump up dnb. It always makes me feel rowdy and I love it. I totally feel like it livens up my sets and they are good transition tracks when your trying to go from pretty to dance floor bangers. To be honest I haven’t really bought anything from Hospital Records in a while. I used to be all about them. Any release I was so on it! Maybe I’ve just gotten more boring ( I don’t know how that could possibly happen because I’m boring enough as it is already) and can’t keep up with status quo. *shrugs*

A duo I love to include in my “jump up” collection is Marky and Bungle. I remember having a conversation with Pipeline and we were talking about how crazy it is that their remixes are so fire! Seriously. I have to be pretty amped up to dance these days but I will totally dance to a Marky and Bungle remix. That Q Project Tears Remix was so awesome and, I still totally love that Dj ZincHear No Evil Remix.

Talking about jump up totally makes me think of how different those old jungle days were. I was seriously True Playaz / Ganja Records til I die. Peace, Love and Unity!! Those ravin’ days were so fun. I remember trying to learn to do tricks with Super Sharp Shooter. I guess the clownstep lovers would argue that clownstep is the jump up of today. I beg to differ. I think those songs of yesteryear can’t even compare to the horrific mess that is clownstep today. Again though, like I’ve said before, everyone is entitled to their opinion so since this is my blog I get to complain about clownstep as much as I want. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I Get So Weak….

I’m beat down. I’ve had this horrific cough along with numerous other annoying symptoms for like five days. I’m pretty sure I’m dying. Web MD says I might have walking pneumonia or hypersomnia. Of course I can guarantee you that I really have neither. Web MD is good for turning people into hypochondriacs.

I was running around a lot this weekend so I don’t really have much dnb to write about… Well actually let me be honest, Stunna sent me this track that him and Tyler Straub did and I’m way too into it and have just been listening to it on repeat all weekend.ย  That’s why I have no other dnb to write about.ย ย  It’s called So Weak and it’s dope. I don’t remember being able to go anywhere in 1993 without hearing that SWV song so I’ve become a wee bit obsessed. Sorry but I don’t have a sample to give you right now.

I did get my D-Bridge : Gemini Principle LP so at least I accomplished something.

I’m still ailing and feeling a bit lazy so I’m just gonna listen to this SabreShogun Audio Mix on Pyro Radio and dream about not having hypersomnia and walking pneumonia.

Laters.

Dance For Me

I went to see Dizzee Rascal yesterday. 1xtra plays that Dance For Me song all the time and I love it. I’ve seen him before and I always really enjoy his shows. He’s a good live performer. I find it really strange that there are so many artists that are actually pretty bad live. It’s almost surprising when you see someone who actually puts on a good show. Other people I always think put on a great live show are The Streets and M.I.A.

EL-P was on the bill last night too. I don’t really listen to a lot of rap but I definitely like this dude’s stuff. I’ve seen him a couple of times before and he’s just an all round good rapper. It was a good show. I had fun.

Remember that Dillinja remix of Basement Jaxx feat Dizzee Rascal – Lucky Star? I really liked that one.

I’m in a dubstep mood today. I actually listen to a lot of dubstep. You know how there are some things that you just do and you don’t really blab about it that much? That’s how it is with me and dubstep. I’m a big fan of the Bass Goes Boom nights. Chef is at the next one. Should be dope.

I’ve been feeling a bit poorly this week and haven’t really been doing any work so I think I’m going to try and be a good employee today.

Greed

“excessive or rapacious desire, esp. for wealth or possessions.”

Ooh rapacious is a good word. I’m feeling pretty greedy about records these days. I want all of them. I can definitely not justify buying them but I’ll probably reach some compromise that only makes sense to me and then be satisfied.

Dj Presha played Pipeline & Submorphic’s track on his Bassdrive show. I’m gonna check out the mix today. I really like Dj Presha’s shows. I was a big fan of his Next Level 95BFM installments but always forget about his Bassdrive ones.

Going to Seminar tonight. Can’t honestly say I know anything about Digital’s new stuff. I’m a lush, I can’t pass up drinks and hanging out with my friends so I’ll go regardless. Whenever I think about Digital I just go back to the Waterhouse Dub days where I played the fuck out of that record. I really love that track. I should try and get a new copy cuz I know for a fact that mine makes that horrible clacking sound.

Laters.

P.S. That Marcus Intalex mix is awesome.
