Headed back to the US this week. It’s been a long ass month.
I went to Amsterdam to hang with Submorphics for The North Quarter night at Melkweg and it did not disappoint! I’ll do a post about it later.
Currently doing some work and enjoying the tunes on rotation in my playlist, so I figured I’d share.
So happy this one finally came out! I’ve loved this tune since I first heard it on an Alix Perez Rinse FM mix back in January ’22!
Love this vocal π₯°
My girl Alicia (Alley Cat) posted something about Everything But the Girl Blame dnb remixes the other day and it made me nostalgic, so I had to throw the J Majik VIP back into rotation. My vinyl got worn out! I was obsessed with this track I tell you. π
Been on an En:vy kick for a minute now.
Meant to share this one last month, but as you can obviously see I’ve been rubbish at posting. Too busy gallivanting to and fro. The homies Calculon and Stunna really brought it with this one. This is the vibe I’m always trying to be at. It makes me think of multicoloured cocktails, turquoise blue water, and sand. Booking the next ticket STAT!
I’m going to Europe next week. I saw a TikTok about people complaining about Americans saying Europe instead of their specific destinations. I have multiple destinations on the continent, hence the catchall “Europe”. Anyway, mainly informing you to let you know that my ridiculous hamster wheel life will slow down and I will be back to writing long chatty entries. π
I was so happy to see this! Love me some Mutt. π₯°

Back in LA. I’ve gone on a non-stop listening spree of all the old mixes I found at my mum’s. I completely forgot about this gem. The original was already great, but my oh my this Marky & Bungle remix. I listened to like 3 mixes on the flight back and I can’t believe I forgot about this tune because I clearly played it to death back then. It was on all 3 of those mixes. π That Marky and Bungle era was elite I tell you!
I know, I know, I’ve been MIA. A lot going on these days. I’ll write an update soon. In the meantime I’m starting my morning with En:vy. I played this mix to death while I was finishing up my thesis. Such a good mix.
Hi! I’m alive. I graduated! π₯³π₯³π₯³ It was definitely touch and go there for a minute. That last month was brutal, but I’m officially a member of the 2 masters club.
I missed my blog anniversary.
I was having a conversation with my students the other day about how weird it is to have a digital log of your life for extended periods of time. I started blogging in 2001. My first blog makes me cringe! I wrote in it every day and it was verbal diarrhea of an early 20s raver who was obsessed with jungle and couldn’t shut up. It’s still floating around in the internet ether. π I am going to delete it, I am just downloading each entry first and making a mini book.
As cringy as it is, it’s still kinda cool to have my musings from back then. That’s why I don’t delete this one. In 2008, I was over my nonstop blabbing in my first blog, so I decided to start a new one. I vowed to only speak about dnb and keep the oversharing word vomit to a minimum. No more page long entries. Just a few sentences here and there and some good tunes. I have pretty much stuck to that. After my dad passed, I wanted to discuss grief and allowed myself to write a few longer posts.
For years, each blog anniversary arrived and I contemplated deleting. And then some lovely soul sends me a nice message about how much they appreciate my blog. π₯°π₯°π₯°
Anyway, I’m still here. I still listening to loads of dnb and I’m still rubbish at posting.
Current playlist: I love listening to Sam Bank’s Bankbeats. He never disappoints. It’s always a great showcase of old and new. π

Thesis, thesis, thesis. It’s due this week, so I’ll stop talking about it in 6 days. π
Zero T, Onj and Aaliyah Esprit are my only solace at 4am. I’ve had this on repeat for a couple of months now. I can’t get enough of Aaliyah Esprit’s voice. π₯°
