It’s funny how you can be completely oblivious about categories of music.  There’s just so damn many.  Just the other day Radiata used the term skullstep and I was completely clueless.  I’m so liquid funk til I die that most of these terms are lost on me.  Skullstep can pal up with clownstep as far as I’m concerned.  Just not my cup of tea.  I don’t like weird, noisy, scary, angry dnb.  This is something that you have definitely learned about me by now, right?  Pretty, pretty, pretty, that is definitely what Kiki is about. 😉

I was listening to 1xtra this weekend as I cleaned my place and I tuned in to Dj Target’s show.  He kept talking about UK Funky and I was unaware that this was a music category.  I recognised the tunes.  I am a Crazy Cousinz fan.  I think that I posted a track of theirs sometime last year even.  I was just unaware that they had a category name.  LOL.  Regardless I’m digging it. (Daniela I feel like you might like this genre.)  To be honest they were the types of non-dnb tracks that I was digging anyway.  I just like that now I can look under a specific category and prolly find stuff I like.

Loving this one right now.  Girly, pretty, dancey, wicked.  Woot.  Big up Meleka.

Meleka – Go (Crazy Cousinz Remix)

Back in dnb land… I’m excited for the Raiden show here in Chicago on thursday.  Raiden has been popping back and forth thru Chicago as he goes on different legs of his tour.  I’ve been fortunate enough to hear different snippets of him practising and he sounds wicked.  Really good tracks and just overall nice mixing.  You cant be crap anyways when you’ve been around as long as he has.  He’ll be at Smart Bar tomorrow.  I’m not going to lie… I can do without the openers.  I’m sure they are wonderful people but I just don’t have the tolerance for noisy dnb anymore.  I am a senior citizen dammit.  Like I said at the beginning of this post rowdy, loud, noisy, scary dnb is no longer in my vocabulary.  I’m just going for his set. 🙂

I’m still trudging through mixes.  I’m so so behind.  LOL.  Bad Kiki.

I’ve mentioned before that I work six days a week.  I’m quitting my second job in September and to be honest I can’t wait.  It seems like I look so forward to the weekends as it is that anxiously awaiting my free day on Sundays just isn’t cutting it anymore.  Anyways it’s Friday.  Yay.  Thank god.

I’ve surprisingly been listening to a lot of non dnb the past couple of days.  I’ve been hearing really good tracks on 1xtra and I’ve got $50 in itunes gift cards leftover from my side hustle, so I just keep downloading track after track.  Some of my current faves?

Nas feat. Keri Hilson – Hero – I really like the beat.  I’m not much of a word smith.  I appreciate people who rhyme and what not but I definitely will pay more attention to what your saying if there’s a good beat behind it.  Nas is pretty dope too so it’s a win win.

Common feat. Pharrell – Universal Mind Control – Everyone’s hating on this track but I like it.   I never was really a huge Common fan, but I’ve started to love the stuff he’s put out within the last year.

The Clipse – 20k Money Making Brothers – I just love the Clipse point blank period.  Like I said before, I don’t really pay much attention to many rappers but these dudes are fucking awesome.  This song is older but I just decided to download it the other day cuz I felt like listening to it.  They have a new one out called Fast Life that is cool but I like this 20k better.

Paleface feat. Kyla – Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz Remix) – The Paleface original is a bit too ravey for me but this Crazy Cousinz remix is so sultry. The beat is just sexy as hell and the vocal is too.

There’s more.  I just don’t feel like listing them all.  I want to go home cuz I’m bored and tired and it’s only 12:55.  Boo. 😦

I am excited to listen to this Patife mix though.
