Notes

This is what we’re working with people. LOL. Hot ass mess. I gotta come up with a better, NEATER, way to keep track of stuff. 😉

Man I was so groggy and tired yesterday. I was making drinks at my place for me, Stunna and Submorphics… Obviously I need to go back to bartending school because my goal was not to get us wasted but just to sit around and have a couple drinks. Anyways, I’m back to normal and guess what? Yep. It’s friday. Holla!

Spinn’s on Bassdrive. Tune in.

Tunes:

Parabolic – Ophelia’s Song (track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie: Psidream – Secret Life – Ohm Resistance 2004 This was an Ohm v Offshore 10 inch that I played to death. Seriously. I don’t exactly remember what was going on with me around this time but I do know that this track was the soundtrack for my emo period. I know I play a lot of tracks on repeat frequently but this session with this track was ridiculous.

Speaking of Offshore…

Funky

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve been in a funk all week.  Boo.  No one’s happy all the time I guess so I’m trying not to let it stress me out.

Tunes:

Druid – The Blue Yonder Oh the wonders of the Bassdrive chat room.  I heard this track on Bassdrive last month.  I listen all day at work.  I have a sheet of paper that I scrawl down tracks I like on the right side of my desk and if I want to write about them I stick a post it note on the monitor.  I couldn’t find Druid’s myspace page so I’ve basically kept scratching out this track and throwing away post it notes for the past month.  LOL.  I saw a Druid in the chatroom and lo and behold it was in fact the one and only and now I can share the track with you.   I just like that it has a symphonious ring to it.   I’m not trying to be pretentious with that word, it was the only one that came to mind.  I actually had to look it up on dictionary.com to make sure it wasn’t a synonym I had made up.  I just imagine the London Symphony Orchestra playing this tune and everyone just nodding their heads.  The track is in the player.

Poise & Hybrid J – Captured Moment (track is in both of their players)  I’m not actually familiar with these two producers but I’m definitely digging the track.

Calibre – Don’t Mind EP I like this EP but I can’t tell if it’s cuz I’m kinda emo this week and therefore am digging the hauntingly melancholy eerie sound to the tracks.  It’s Calibre so the production is always good, I just don’t know if I would actually play them out.

Today’s Oldie: Ellis Dee – Lockdown – Collusion Records 1995  Man, I don’t know what to say about this record. I loved it! It came out during this time period where I just wanted to hear random rap samples and rolling basslines. Do it well enough and I thought you were God. I would just stand in front of the speaker at raves and dance to this track like a maniac. This for sure was a party tune.

Toodloo

Humpday

KikiLeave a comment

It’s wednesday. My mum is coming this weekend. There’s kind of a lotta things going on around me that are pretty major. We’ll see how they pan out.

Love these tunes:

Ed Oberon – Kid Rio This track is out of control. I love it. I heard it in the mix on Tyler’s show and it was fire. Check it out, it’s in the player.

Kjell – Healing Process Lovin this one. Really great bassline. I feel like Kjell’s tracks have a distinct style, not quite sure how to describe it but whatever it is I like it.

Tyler Straub – Waiting For You I had actually meant to write about this track when I heard it on Bassdrive about a month ago but I really wanted to wait til I had a sample to share with you. It has this really serene melodic vibe that is just awesome. Not only do I have a sample but it’s actually available as a free download from the Santorin site. Now that is pretty cool. 🙂

Today’s Oldie – Roni Size – Watching Windows (Ed Rush & Optical Remix) – Talking Loud 1998 All my oldie favourites seem to be by the same artists. LOL. Seriously though, I do remember from about ’95 to about ’00 I could always rely on the same labels and the same artists for my tracks. They were the ones doing the best stuff and others couldn’t even really come close. This remix is ridiculously wonderful. I love the idea of a remix. I’m always curious to see what someone else would do with a track. The Ed Rush and Optical spin is just lovely. Classic track.

This mix should be fire.

Git Up Git Out Git Something

KikiLeave a comment

Git Up Git Out is one of my favourite Outkast songs.

I don’t really feel like I did anything productive all week. Whateves, I will get myself back on track this weekend hopefully. First and foremost, laundry. I have no clothes to wear.

Last night Daniela took me out for a nice fancy pants meal. I really need to do that with my friends more often. It was just nice to catch up and eat some good food.

I don’t have any outrageous plans for the weekend. LTJ is tonight. I’m not going though, I’m just not in the mood for Smart Bar and I also don’t want to pay $15. Should be a good show. He doesn’t disappoint.

I’ve started listening to a bunch of new shows on Bassdrive. I usually just tune in to my regulars (listening to Spinn right now) but I just discovered Notion’s show and am loving it. God bless you Bassdrive. 😉

Jams:

Logistics – Cosmonaught (track is in player)

Bungle – Be Like This (track is in player)

B-complex – In Your Sunrise (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie: Krome & Time – Ganja Man (Dj Hype Remix) – Tearin Vinyl 1995 I know I’m picking another Dj Hype track but this one is just a great great remix. Classic. I loved the whole ragga jungle era.

Ugh.

I have numerous things to do but I’m just not doing any of them. I’m defiant as fuck… It’s nice to pretend your a bad ass for a minute. I of course will eventually do the things I’m supposed to do but for now I will procrastinate away.

It’s probably the weather that’s making me feel so blah.

Whatever, I’m in a weird mood. I’ve been tuned into Bassdrive since like 8am so I definitely have gone a little drum n bass crazy. Overfiend’s show has been awesome. You should tune in if you’re around.

I don’t feel like writing today. Boo. Yeh I’m lame but I’m sure you can do without my endless chatter for one day.

I have one piece of exciting news… Not only is BBS Bookings celebrating 1 year of their podcast but Edward Oberon did the mix. Woot woot.

DnB & Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s tuesday. I wish I had something exciting to report but I don’t. I guess since my weekend was busy enough I have to keep the rowdiness at a minimum for now.

Hot tunes:

Dan Marshall – Smoke & Mirrors Remember when I was on that whole Dan Marshall kick? I Still love him, I just haven’t been keeping up on his newer stuff that’s all. Loving this Smoke & Mirrors. Sorry no sample as it’s a dub but as always go check out his other tunes on his site. I believe there’s a Random Movement remix too. Dope.

Komatic – Hidden Light Love this one. We all know I’m a sucker for a pretty melody and pretty voice. I just recently started listening to Komatic’s show on Bassdrive and I must say I’m quite a fan.

As an obsessive dnb lover I’m surprised that I managed to even live my life without Bassdrive up til now. My number one problem with being a dnb fan living in America was I didn’t have enough contact with the music. I never became a dj because I like mixing. I like it enough, I’m just not that obsessed with the turntables. I became a dj because that was the only way for me to hear these tracks I was obsessed with out loud on a ridiculous sound system in the order that I wanted to hear them. Then the whole raver community thing happened and I was like wow this is cool, not only do i get to hear these tracks at a ridiculously loud decibel but I also get to meet others who love this music as much as I do and we can be corny and talk about how much we love tracks. LOL. Obviously this is no different from any other music scene but the drawback is electronic music isn’t on the same mainstream level that other genres are. I always dreamed of being able to listen to drum n bass whenever I felt like it. That’s why I became so adept at finding mixes online. I just wanted to make sure that whenever I wanted to listen to it I would have something new, new to me anyways, to listen to. I always loved going home to London because the second I would step into my dad’s house I would just turn on the radio and voila, tunes galore. I guess I’m lucky that I have an office job where I’m allowed to listen to music because Bassdrive has made me a pretty happy person. I tune in and I hear all the new jams and it’s awesome.

My, I’m awfully chatty today. 😉

Today’s Oldie: Dj Hype feat. Mc Fats – Peace, Love & Unity – True Playaz 1996 Doing these oldies every day brings back so many memories. It sounds so cheesy to say but from the second I heard dnb I felt like I’d found something that made sense to me and lets be honest, when you’re a teenager that’s a total blessing. From jump I’ve always been overly enthusiastic about dnb. I just love it. I was so excited about the True Playaz label. I was obsessed with Dj Hype and obsessed with the whole jump up era and had just discovered Dj Zinc and hearing that they were starting a new label sounded like the coolest thing ever at that time. The basslines killed me. I loved that these tracks had become songs I could identify. This was my first time hearing Mc Fats and I loved him. I guess you could say that this record was definitely a very significant one in my dnb life.

Granted I’m always excited to listen to Stunna mixes but this tracklist looks especially tasty.

I decided that I complained about my stupid eye so much you at least deserve a pic.  I figured out that if I smile you can’t really see it so I’m just gonna cheese constantly until it goes away.

My bday party was so fun!  I love it when you have something in mind and it turns out exactly how you want it to be.  Here’s some pics.

I have a ton of mixes in my posession at the moment and will have loads of new tracks to chat about… but not today.  I spent the whole weekend recuperating from the copious amounts of alcohol I consumed so I didn’t get much listening done.

Did just hear this one on Komatic’s show which I happening to be listening to right now.  Tune in if you’re so inclined.

Bomber Kids – Spell On You (track is in player)  Total banger tune! 🙂

Today’s Oldie:  Technical Itch – Reborn – Moving Shadow 1999  I went through this really weird phase where I wanted all my tracks that I played to have this weird electro computer grimey bass sound.  Tech Itch satisfied that need.  This tracks is awesome.

How exciting is this!  I’m glad that all these people are starting podcasts.

Internets

Kiki1 Comment

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.

Tranquil

Kiki4 Comments

I’ve had a pretty good week. I wonder when the novelty of not having to work on the weekends is going to wear off. This is the third weekend now and I still feel like it’s Christmas. LOL.

I’ve been listening to Amaning – Tranquility on repeat for the past 3 days. I know I’ve written about it before but I just bought the mp3 off Beatport. Before I had to fast forward to the end of this one mix I had to listen to it and that got kinda played out. I’m not sure why it only occured to me now to buy it off Beatport. LOL.

I can’t really explain to you why I’m so obsessed with the track. I’m quite aware that it’s old. I think I just love that there are some songs that pretty much set the tone for exactly how you’re feeling. I’m calm, tranquil, at peace, and every other synonym related to being serene, and that song has contently place itself as my background music. 🙂

I’m kinda feeling these:

Visionary – Automatic

Hydro & Naibu – Secrecy

Listening to Spinn on Bassdrive as usual, it is friday after all. 😉

Have a good weekend.

Queen of the Dairy

KikiLeave a comment

I love ice cream. Most people do. The only person I know who doesn’t get excited to delve into a pint of ice cream for no good reason whatsoever is my friend Reisha. My biggest complaint since I moved to the Chi six years ago was that there wasn’t a Dairy Queen within walking distance from my house. My old place in Minneapolis was a block away from one and it was the highlight of many a day. When Jessica and I heard that they had opened one on Damen we was ecstatic! I will definitely be getting a Dairy Queen ice cream bday cake this year, trust!

We finally made our way there last night. The service was not the best but then Jessica made the good point that when have you ever gone to a Dairy Queen and gotten impeccable service! LOL. I seriously was on cloud 9. I got a French Silk Blizzard and it seriously might have been the best thing I’ve tasted all year. (I’m sure you’ve come to terms with my exaggeration problem so I doubt it was the best thing I’ve tasted all year but we’ll just go with it for today) I was looking for a pic of Dairy Queen to post and one of the web pages I came across was the nutritional content of Dairy Queen items…. 1410 Calories in that French Silk Blizzard. Yikes. I’m not really that weight conscious and what not but dang, it’s seems a little insane to spend 2/3 of your recommended daily calorie intake on a blizzard. It was good but again, dang.

I’m becoming more boring by the minute. It’s a sad day when the most exciting thing I have to tell you about last night is my gluttonous trip to Dairy Queen. 😉

Yesterday on Bassdrive chat they were having an old skool conversation about Andy C. I joined in for a mo. Basically anything Andy C/Ram affiliated after 2002 is so not really my thing, but all that stuff before then, man, so awesome. I have been buying more Ram Records lately though since Chase and Status are on there and I like their tunes every now and again. Take Me Away FTW.

Ever since I listened to that Optical tape on the Internet Rave Archive I’ve been totally craving old dnb tracks. I really am going to try and organize my records this weekend, or at least start it.

Here’s a couple of my Andy C/Ram faves.

Ram Trilogy – Human Future

Adam F – Circles (Andy C Remix)

I’ve been naughty. I’ve been listening to the same mixes over and over and haven’t been as tuned into Bassdrive so I actually am not too up on the new ish. I’ll be better I promise. 🙂

In the meantime I’m loving this Saburuko.

Saburuko – Titanium/Love Is The Devil

Technicolour – Le Corbusier (I love the other track Half A Chance as well. I had mentioned it before but didn’t have a sample at the time. Just an awesome release all round.)

Toodloo for now
