Snowblower Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

All the snow had melted, it was like 40° and awesome. (You’ve definitely lived in the midwest too long when you get excited about 40° in the winter 😁)  

Then it snowed yesterday and we got like 4 inches that I had to shovel, because I couldn’t figure out how to get the snowblower to work.  smh

Today was better.  I decided that I would figure out how that contraption worked no matter what!  #determination  (It was easy, I’m just impatient and didn’t do xyz yesterday, coulda saved myself a lot of back pain!)

Success!  And Macca kept me company while I froze my ass off.

Happy New Year! … yeah it’s 12 days late.  I was so sick over the holiday and spent six days being bloody miserable.  Now all of a sudden it’s January 12.  smh

Listening to some tunes and lesson planning.

I was so happy to see this Dj Flight mix when it got uploaded.  I meant to post it earlier but as I said, I was too busy overdosing on cold medicine. I’m def keeping it in rotation for the moment. 😍

Mixtape Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

tape

I used to have so many rave mixtapes.  I gave most of them to my friend to add to his amazing Rave Archive website, but I still have about 20 of my own personal mixes that I have been meaning to convert to mp3, and just never got around to it.  

I came across them again when I was cleaning out some boxes, and have been having a field day just listening to them while cleaning, lesson planning, avoiding going outside in 5° weather, etc. So many good memories and so many good tracks.

I expected the sound quality to be super shitty but I guess they kept well and they still sound surprisingly decent.  I also expected the mixing from Code Blue circa late 90’s to be cringe-worthy, but they weren’t half bad…  even if I do say so myself.  😝

Here are some oldies that I heard that I’m definitely digging out when I go have a mix session after I finish writing this post.  😻

Yuletide Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

December, man.  Once Thanksgiving hits, the holiday season just speeds away from you.  I’m spending Xmas in California this year, and am totes looking forward to it.  I haven’t spent Christmas with that side of my family in years.

We got our first snowfall finally.  I always like to take a picture of it, because after the first one, it’s just a brown, gross, crunchy and slushy annoyance.

So many mix choices today!  I’ll start with this Total Science, while I go work out and then see where the rest of the day takes me.

Technical Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I’m gonna eat everything.

I was cleaning out a box and found some of my old mixtapes — stress on the tapes part.  

My friend owned a record store in Minneapolis back in the late 90s, early ’00s.  I didn’t have my own turntables yet, so he would let me come and hang out and mix records for hours upon end at the store.  I would record all my mix sessions and then go home and listen to the tapes all over again.  Acting like I hadn’t just spent 6 hours recording them.  😁

This one tape I’m listening to right now is all Technical Itch.  I was so Tech Itch crazy back then.  😍

UKG Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Doing a UKG post today.

I really do listen to all sorts of music, but for the majority of my life, DnB and UKG have consistently made me the happiest.  

I love that there are still peeps out there keeping the UKG sound going and it brightens my days.  It totes makes my old ass want to go out and actually dance.  

In the meantime I thoroughly enjoy my solo dance parties, mixing in my mum’s basement.  I’ve got UKG oldies for days.  #oldgrannybasementdj

Nima, Doy and James, I’m still jelly that you went to that garage night a couple of months ago  without me.  You better go to one with me when I come to the LDN in June.  😜

Drake & Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I thought I’d gotten Drake out of my system for the remainder of 2016.  

No dice I guess, cuz I can’t get enough of this Bass Controlla.  

It gets so dark so early, and I wish it was sunny and warm again, so I guess I’ll recreate this past summer and let Drake hijack my music player once more.
