Hope your holiday was as awesome as mine. Any day that includes lying around, stuffing my face and being with my family is fine by me.
Here’s some Calibre. Aren’t you happy that I am here to constantly remind you of the bajillion awesome Calibre tunes that came out last year, 12 years ago, 3 months ago and so on? 😉
I’ll admit it, you don’t have to try that hard to make me love a track that has a lady vocal and is liquidy. Dude vocal… maybe you have to try a little harder. I actually don’t know if there’s a lot of male vocalists that I can list off the top of my head that I want to hear on a dnb track. Steo though, I’m down for sure. His voice is dope. It’s late and I’m up and wide awake for no reason, so I’ve created a little Steo playlist that is keeping me company.
I’m pretty sure you have already figured this out about me, since pretty much every other track I post is by Calibre, but if someone told me I could only listen to him for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t even be mad about it. 😉
I’ve been spending a lot of time mixing records in my mum’s basement. The other day I spent like 5 hours just mixing summer anthems of yesteryear. 🙂
I am an old lady now and don’t keep up as much with what would be considered the anthems of the summer but for me this year it was definitely the Calibre track “Running.” It was the soundtrack to my summer in Indonesia and as the summer draws to a close it still evokes lovely images of sunny beaches, multicoloured cocktails and beautiful blue skies. ❤
Hi. Countdown to Bye Bye Chicago has officially began. I’ve got 8 weeks to finish my thesis, somehow pass my last 3 classes, and not die of sleep deprivation. I see no one unless you work at my job. It’s all worth it, I’m sure, but for now I’m pretty much consistently on the verge of a nervous breakdown. LOL.
I was awake freaking out one night and was so happy to find that Fabric had posted Calibre’s mix. It was like I took a valium and had 30 minutes of reprieve. LMAO.
Heart you Calibre.

I admit defeat. Graduate school is officially the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I still am enjoying what I’m learning but dang, there’s so much work and it really is becoming a bit overwhelming. Don’t worry I’m not gonna get all emo. I’m hanging in there. I can’t wait til this semester is over though.
Some good dnb shows come up in the Chi so that’s at least something to look forward to.
Always good to see A Sides. He never disappoints. ❤
The following week Calculon will be back throwing down at Smart Bar. Love Calculon too. Will be an awesome distraction to hang out with the dnb homies and listen to some good tunes as finals approach. If you are in town make sure to come hang out. You know there are good times to be had!

Been waiting for a sample of this for ages now. I know it’s just a podcast rip but you can hear it nonetheless. I heard it on a Marky mix a while back and just loved it. I can’t wait to hear it on a loud sound system. Some serious bass there.

Everywhere. 🙂 I had three weeks off from school and just ran with it. I just got back from visiting my besties in Minneapolis. Really lovely relaxing time. I’ve noticed that I don’t really have much time to sit around and just do nothing. Sometimes it would be nice to have some of that time back cuz that “sit around and do nothing time” is usually when I write in my blog. Right now it’s 4:30 in the morning and I figured I might as well write a quick post before I have to start my day.
