I can’t believe it’s April tomorrow. Yikes. I’m pretty happy with myself this week, though. I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done, due to the plethora of dope mixes I’ve had to listen to. Gimme a good mix and I’ll get a ton of shit done. I’m totally about creating the right atmosphere for me to be productive in, and for me, one factor to create said atmosphere, is def having the right mix to listen to. 😊

I listened to this mix at work yesterday. I had a mini Martyn mix session last weekend. “Nxt 2 U” is still one of my all time faves, so I’m totes here for anyone who chooses to throw it into their mix. 😍😍😍

Obsessive Kiki

March 29, 2017March 29, 2017 KikiLeave a comment

I have an unhealthy habit of obsessively listening to tunes on repeat. I doubt I’m the only one, but it does seem a bit cuckoo at times. Itunes is already snitchin’ on how many times I’ve listened to Drake’s “Blem” 😁 I don’t want to divulge how many times I’ll repeat a song, cuz it might bring forth the white coats, but just know it’s a tad ridic.

I do the same thing with artists I like. (Real talk though, doesn’t everyone?) I’ll go through a period of time where I’m listening to them, and only them. I’ve been doing that a lot with Loz Contreras lately. I have about 5 mixes that I’ve been rotating in my car for the past two weeks. Make that six, I’m adding this one. 😉

R & B & Kiki

March 27, 2017March 27, 2017 KikiLeave a comment

90’s R&B is where it’s at yo. So many good tunes. I remember being soooo obsessed with Jodeci. Really though, who wasn’t back then? I woke up this a.m. wanting to listen to Jodeci, but it’s too slow to make me run on the treadmill, so Alix Perez and Specific’s “Love Bug” was just as satisfying. 😆

I woke up with “Rolling Sideways” in my head, so I figured it’s an LSB kinda day. 😌

I’ve been listening to this track on various mixes for the past 6 months. I bought it when it got released, and I’m still listening to it. I’m not even close to being sick of it yet. 😝 It just puts me in a good mood. 😊

Nostalgic Kiki

March 14, 2017March 14, 2017 KikiLeave a comment

I’m totally one of those people that’s stuck in the past when it comes to DnB. I do listen to new stuff. I like it just fine, and I do buy the odd track every now and again. But, I still get so much satisfaction from my old stuff. Those tunes makes me so happy. I can mix them for days.

I remember when I was younger, I felt like I had to have the new stuff straightaway. I’m sure that had a lot to do with not wanting to mix old records out all the time. There’s only so many times people wanna hear you play an “old skool” set. 😜 Now, I’m 40, I don’t mix out anymore and I am more than content to just have my 20 year old collection. There are so many awesome records in it, that bring back so many amazing memories.

DnB is the only thing that will convince me to run on the treadmill. Got a little Soul:R mix in the rotation at the mo.

M.I.S.T – Outerspace – Soul:R (2003)

I love bringing this record into the mix. That slow creep tho… 😊

You would think I didn’t spend the past 20+ years living in the Midwest, but dang, I’m so over this snow. Can it just be done already? After almost 4 years abroad, I think I just forgot how long it lasts. 😒

If you need me, I’ll be sulking to this beautiful Satl tune.

Here’s the Drake and Jhené Aiko tune the sample came from. 😍

Hogwarts & Kiki

February 28, 2017February 28, 2017 KikiLeave a comment

I drive by the lake every morning on my way to work. Sometimes the fog looming over it reminds me of the dementors at Hogwarts. (Chrome recognizes Hogwarts as a word, but not dementors 😂) I love fog though, it reminds me of my childhood growing up in England.
