Kiki is Older than You

It’s my bday on Thursday. 48. I don’t even care about the age itself, I’m just shocked that it seems to have gone by so fast!

Alix Perez on Friday. I’m excited for the show. Should be a good one.

I don’t have a mix to post. I’ve been listening to a lot of oldies. Like old oldies. I was mixing early ’90s era jungle yesterday and all those tracks had me thinking about being a young raver and how geeked I always was to go stand in front of the speaker at the weekend.

Here’s a few of the tunes from yesterday’s mix that had me living room raving. 🤩

Summer Solstice Kiki

The weather is heating up and it’s finally sunny and gorgeous out.
Happy Summer Solstice! 😍

Currently loving:

One of my favourite Whitney Houston songs is “Heartbreak Hotel” with Faith Evans and Kelly Price. The way Reuben sings the chorus is similar to the cadence of the chorus in “Heartbreak Hotel” and I love it! I really enjoy his tunes. I played Subtle to death too when it came out. 🥰

Back in LA. Looks like I left London at the right time, as the temp started dropping and a new variant wanting some attention. I lived in the Midwest for over 20 years, and 4 years in LA has made me forget what life in negative temps is like. 😂 That damp wet cold that showed up in London when I was leaving had me acting a straight fool. You would think I never experienced walking to the train with prickly cold cheeks as the wind made me cry.

I do feel a little less anxious about my dad’s estate. There’s still a long road ahead, as there’s still a lot of unfinished business, but it’s nice to get a little more clarity and closure on the house sitch.

It’ll be 1 year since he died in a couple of weeks, and it’s been hard that it’s taken this long to sort some of these things out. I have an amazing support network and I just have to trust that everything will work out like it needs to.

Planning some lessons for my classes that I have to teach tonight, after not having taught in almost 6 weeks. 🙃

This Flowanastasia and Nymfo hitting a little too on the nose for me today. 😂

Also really vibin’ to this Break remix.

The North Quarter label night was so fun! It was great to see Greg and the music was amazing! Just good vibes and people dancing. I really enjoyed myself. Me and my old bones stayed out til 4am. I heard so many great new remixes. All round everyone just had wicked sets.

My time is London is coming to an end for now. I’m headed back to LA on Sunday.

Currently trying to get ahead on school work so I don’t have to frantically catch up when I get back.

I had been keeping my eye out for this Monty tune ever since I heard it on that Redeyes and Monty Outlines mix back in June and have pretty much had it on repeat ever since it got released. Really looking forward to his album. 🥰
