Sitting Up in My Room Kiki

Man I used luuuuuuuuvv this Brandy song when I was in high school.

I’ve said it before, Brandy and dnb are a match made in Heaven. So many great dnb tunes with her vocals. 🥰

I also really love this Intelligent Manners tune that has the vocal from “Almost Doesn’t Count”.

This wasn’t supposed to be a Brandy tribute post. LOL. I was just thinking about how it’s a good thing I like my bedroom, cuz all I do is sit up in it doing work — and that song popped in my head. I wasn’t even listening to any Brandy tunes. 😂

Currently vibing to Dan Guidance and Echo Motion.

Maybe I just needed a week to be lazy. 😉  I have a new approach to this week and I’m excited about it.  No more slacking.  I don’t think the slothy attitude type is becoming at all.

I have had an awesome weekend.  My Oliver Twist bank account status has made my friends take pity on me and treat me to some really yummy meals.  I got to spend time with Kathy and her bf Matt as well as my friend Jon and just partake in some really fun activities.

The Dj Rap show was fine.  I had a good set but there wasn’t really that many people there.  The important part was the people that mattered were there so that was fine.  I have good buddies and that makes me happy. 🙂

Tunes:
Big Bud – Want You So Bad (track is in player)
Seriously, Toni Braxton and Brandy are awesome dnb samples.  This Toni Braxton sample kills it.  I’m really digging this.  The bassline is so warm and fuzzy. ❤

Today’s Oldie:
Seba – Camouflage – Looking Good Records 1998
Old skool chill vibe.  Love it.

I Got Tracks and Tracks and Tracks and Tracks…

I was thinking the other day about how many awesome tracks have been coming out lately.  There is just a really great group of producers out there right now making amazing stuff and it’s nice that it’s not just the usual suspects.  One person I’m really digging is Naibu from France.  I already picked up that Nami Island and I’m loving that Back Engineering.  Another group I’ve been turned on to is L.A.O.S. out of Finland.  I had a release that I picked up on one of those days that I was just itching to spend money and couldn’t find anything to buy and I quite liked it but never got anything else by them.  Right now though I’m totally into that Helsinki track of theirs.

I was listening to Brandy the other day and was thinking about how she is totally the dnb sample favourite.  LOL.  There are shitload of dnb tracks that sample her vocals.  TeeBee has two tracks that I love that use snippets of her tracks and there’s also a song on this Calculon mix below that samples “I Wanna Be Down.”  The vocal rifts on that song are very dnb compatible….. “And if I don’t let you know then I won’t be for real.”

I’ve been digging this Calculon mix.  It’s Rubik Records‘ Podcast number 10 and it’s just an all round good mix.  Rubik Records have a good podcast.  Stunna was on number 8.  You can download his installment at www.rubikpodcast.com.

I’m pretty content today, nice weather, good music, can’t really complain.
