Carpal Tunnel Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome.  Boo.  It is actually more painful and annoying than I had imagined it would be.  I could whine forever but I’ll spare you.

I actually had a pretty good weekend.   Friday was Bass Goes Boom’s second anniversary and 16 Bit were the headliners.  Party boys indeed.  Good times.

Saturday I reconnected with my old old friend as she was passing through Chicago.  I hadn’t seen her in years.  The best friendships are definitely the ones where even though you may not see each other all the time, you are still able to pick up as if you just saw each other the day before. 🙂

Sunday I spent bumming around with Reisha and Jessica.  Had some drinks, made some food, got a cute clutch at this vintage sale.  Perfectly lazy yet pleasant day.

My L.A. trip is this week.  I’m happy  to get out of Chi.  I keep having the urge to just go on holiday.  Who cares where!  I just want to travel.  I’m obviously just restless.

Oh Hello Winter…

Kiki1 Comment

It is brrrr cold. Dang. I refuse to wear my winter coat yet though. I’m in straight denial. 30 degrees? Bah. Bring it on.

I actually had a really good weekend. On Friday Asides‘ good buddy Stefano (he does an awesome event in Sardinia every year called Sun & Bass) was in town and we hung out. The one thing I like about hanging out with friends of friends is that there’s never a worry that they won’t be cool. They wouldn’t be friends with someone you’re friends with if they weren’t right? We went to an art show at the Burger King Studio… Yes I did say Burger King Studio and then headed over to Bass Goes Boom, which I must say has been consistently fun ever since it started. Good times.

Friday I went to Milwaukee to hang out with my friend Mollie. She lives in L.A. and I still have yet to get out there to visit her so whenever she’s in close proximity to me I try and go see her. She’s an old buddy from Minneapolis and i love her to pieces.

We start yet another week. I’m in good spirits. 🙂

Tunes:

Mindmapper – The Green Gamble (track is in the player)

Subterra – Calling (track is in the player)

Calibre – Trying To Remember & U Could Dance I already said I liked the Don’t Mind EP that these tracks are on but I’ve heard these two especially a lot over the past couple weeks and the more I hear them the more I really like them so I figured I’d give the EP another shout out.

Today’s Oldie: Dj Die – Timing Mechanism – Full Cycle 2000 That Suv track I put on Friday’s oldie was part of this same LP that Timing Mechanism is on. I remember when I got this LP i totally slept on this Die track. I used to have a bad habit of doing that. I only bought the LP for Freak Show and just kept saying that I’d listen to the other tracks later and then heard one of the boys in my crew playing it and was like “what’s that?” and of course I already had it. Typical. Great tune. One of my Die faves.

I <3 Redeyes

KikiLeave a comment

Well, if you weren’t at Smart Bar last night, you kinda missed out. I really had a good time. Awesome music. Lots of people dancing and having fun. Even I danced a couple of times which is pretty much of unheard of lately. 😉 Fun times. It was that feeling that I want shows to have that we never seem to have anymore since we don’t seem to be recruiting new people to the scene. Last night was a good sign though so big ups Midway.

Weekend. Yay. Going to Milwaukee on saturday to hang out with my buddy Mollie. I’m excited to see her. She lives in L.A. but has to go to Milwaukee for some work thing so I’m going to drive there on saturday and kick it.

Hot Tracks:

Soul Mosaic (Redeyes & Youthman) – Listen To Your Heart Love this one! It’s the 9th release on Blu Saphir. I’m just starting to know about Youthman. The French are killing it. Seriously.

Redeyes – Battle of Sweet Things

Yeh yeh, I know another Redeyes. Can’t help it. Love the stuff he’s doing right now. He’s dope. I could add more tracks by him but that’s just silly. 😉

Today’s Oldie:

Dj Krust – Freak Show – Full Cycle Records 2000 This track is great! It’s really easy to imagine a freak show with this bassline. Is it weird to say it’s a tasteful clownstep track? It’s totally not annoying and is really fun to mix. Whenever I play it I mostly just ride out the mix cuz it emphasizes all the elements beautifully while in the mix.

Bass Goes Boom tonight. Haven’t been for a hot minute. Should be fun to get my dubstep fix on.

Have a good weekend.

The internet was down all day at work.  Thank god I’d saved the draft before it went down.  Everyone was losing their mind.  Try working in an office from 9 to 5 with no internet.  Yeh.  Not fun.  Dunno how people did it before. 🙂

Anyway back to my original post….

Friday.  Yes. ❤

Bass Goes Boom tonight.  Headhunter.  Should be fire.

I’m kinda out of it.  I went to bed really early and then woke up at 1 a.m. because I really can’t sleep more than 4 hours.  Did some laundry, did the dishes, cleaned my room, then went back to sleep from 430 a.m. to 6 a.m.  Which is all fine and dandy but now I’m cracked out.  I really have to figure out how to sort out my sleep pattern.

Friday means what??  Spinn of course.  If you missed it go to his site and get the archive.  Good good ish.

I’m in planning mode.  I’m having a bday party at my house and am trying to get my self sorted.  I want it to be fun but not crazy.  I’m too old for crazy.

Heard this one on Spinn’s show today.  Pretty hot.

Cybass & Peixe Kru feat Melianti – My Girl (Madmen & Poets Remix) It’s track #5 in the player

Also Stunna played this one on wednesday.

Radicall – Early Autumn (It’s not in the player but check out his other stuff)

Have a good weekend

FBI Don’t You Be Watching Me

KikiLeave a comment

I was listening to Ol DB (R.I.P.) – Got Your Money on the way to work this a.m. Classic.

I honestly had the best weekend ever. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on having two days off a week for the past 13 years. It was heavenly. I was so lazy. I actually didn’t even leave my house yesterday. I got a lot done and managed to take numerous naps, eat copious amounts of food and watch a ton of telly. Nice.

Friday was the only night I went out. Bass Goes Boom. 6 Blocc. Yikes! Now that was a party and a half! Chicago’s dubstep scene is fire I tell you. 6 Blocc was sick! I love it that people are into dubstep. I’m used to listening to music that no one else listens to. I’m content to have my dubstep parties by myself while I clean the house but it’s definitely more fun when there’s a packed bar, right? 😉

I remember when I first moved to Chicago and the dnb scene was packed like that. 😦 Oh well, I won’t complain. Some places don’t even have a scene, right?

So I don’t know if I told you that Seminar changed from an all dnb night to a “home of the UK underground” night, so basically when I play there on the 24th I can play a 2step/garage set if I wanted. I love mixing old skool 2step/garage sets. I’ve got really good old records. I’m still deciding, I’ll keep you posted.

I’m excited to listen to this mix.  The tracklist is filled with loads of people I like.

Miserable ToddlerI’ve felt like that crabby baby to the right for the past seven days. Fortunately I no longer feel that way. I’m not 100% but I at least don’t feel like I’m about to keel over and die.

All in all I had a pretty good weekend. I got all hopped up on meds and went to Bass Goes Boom on friday. Man, if you live in Chicago and you love dubstep and don’t go to this night, you’re crazy. Chef absolutely killed it. That night is really fun. It was nice to see Mike too both him and Tim threw down as well.

I finally went to the apple store and invested in a new ipod dock. Yay. I managed to get to work today with not a single person saying a word to me… just how I like it. I definitely have missed my ipod. Welcome back buddy.

Since I’ve been sick my equilibrium is all off and my hearing was all fucked up and I’ve had a really hard time mixing but I’m happy to say that my hearing has returned slightly. Not fully, but enough that I at least don’t feel like I’m sitting in a tin can. I’m playing at Lava on wednesday for the Random Movement show and it should be an interesting set to say the least.  The night will include 3 of my favourite things so it really can’t end up being that horrid, 1) My friends 2) Drum n Bass 3) Lava. 😉

Found this Doc Scott Mix. Everyone on Breaksblog seems to be raving about it so hopefully it’s enjoyable.

Music Melee

KikiLeave a comment

Sometimes my mind gets lost in music world and I’m not quite sure what it is that I really want to listen to. My 17 year love affair with dnb is still going strong but there are days where I don’t feel like listening to it. Also I stepped on my ipod dock and broke it and now I can’t put any new mixes on there until i go get a new one. Surprisingly I still am shocked that the ipod isn’t broken yet but the dock isn’t expensive to replace so I don’t mind paying for a new one. So basically I’ve been listening to the same mixes all week…. *shudder* “Oh the horror!”

I do know that silence isn’t one of my choices of what to listen to though. Not that I have a problem with silence, (others may beg to differ since I am that person that never shuts up) I just think that it’s nice to have music as a soundtrack to tedious activities. Since activities that one usually takes part in during the work day are usually tedious, music is a welcomed addition.

My best friend’s wife made a comment once about how I always have to have music on and I was genuinely shocked that she found it strange. I guess I never think that other people don’t automatically put music on when they have a free moment. I just assumed that’s what everybody does it since I do know that there aren’t many people who don’t like music. I don’t have any stats on that but I feel like it’s safe to make that assumption.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Roll Deep today. Don’t ask me why because I don’t have a proper answer. *shrugs* Sometimes you just have to be ruff and tuff and become a grime emcee I guess. “Celebrate That” is one of my faves. I’m actually looking forward to the Bass Goes Boom show next weekend with Chef. I haven’t been in town for the last two so it’ll be nice to make an appearance.

Anyways I guess dubstep is the genre choice for the afternoon a la Plastician and Nomad.
