Training Day Kiki

I started training today at my new job.  Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington were not there but to my surprise my friend Gianna was which was awesome cuz that meant I at least had someone to hang out with.

I’m knackered.  I had a ruff weekend with the girls which consisted of an unpleasant hangover all day yesterday and now I just got home and am just beat.  I’m going to bed.

Break Out The Shorts Kiki

Okay not really, but a high of 58 is so exciting!  I’m just so ready to hang up my peacoat/winter coat.  It’s supposed to rain for most of the day but that still doesn’t bother me with a high of almost 60.  Also I’m too stingy to spend money on a carwash and so I’m excited that my car won’t be that dirty anymore.  Juju was in my car recently and was like “Are your windshield wipers not working?”  LOL.  That’s how dirty my car is.  There’s just a layer of muck permanently stuck there.  Hopefully the rain helps it not be so ugly and filthy.

Hmmm…

There are some days where you just don’t really know what’s going on.  Know what I mean?  You ponder things, you wonder how things are going to pan out, you really just don’t have a grasp on it and it’s not really that bothersome, it just peaks your curiosity even more.  I’m having one of those today.

On that note, in dedication to my post title I figured I would post the link to that horrific video by C & C Music Factory.

Simplification – Sixth Dimension (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
B-keyCapacitorXXX 2000
When I first started to learn to mix, understanding the beatmatching concept was not my problem.  I kinda already got that concept.  I’m good at math so it just made sense.  My big problem was understanding how to use the equipment.  It took me a while to get comfortable with all the things you could do with the mixer.  For the longest time I just blended.  No tricks. Nothing.  Then I went through the phase where I understood how the phono/line button could be used in your mix and I’m sure everyone cursed the day I learned that.  Every mix I just went nuts.  This B-key was one of my favourites cuz it’s a really fun track to play with the phono/line button.  All the elements are awesome and just make the blend that more interesting.  Lovesit!  Awesome noisy business.

Lekke! I’ve missed you.  I’ve always enjoyed his mixes, they are just nice to listen to.  I found this one on Doddi’s Blog.  I’m gonna listen right now.

Snow

Snow. Boo. I’m not ready for it yet but unfortunately it’s here and it’s not pretty like I want it to be, it’s just murky and grey.

My Thanksgiving holiday was really awesome. I just hung out with my mum and ate food. Got back early yesterday and just hung out with Reisha and her adorable baby.

Back at work. Back to the grind. It’s really hard to be serious when you’ve done nothing for 4 days.

Tunes:

Benny Page & VisionaryDon’t Worry/Youths Today Sometimes you just love cheesy tracks. This is one of those times. Don’t worry has my favourite dancehall vocal ever “Say Wooee” so I can’t help but love it. A majority of the time if you just put a mainstream song that I like to dnb and the bassline isn’t shit, I’m bound to love it. LOL. I could do without the vocal on Youths Today though.

Tha Substitutes – Roxy (track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie:
Ryme TymePaybackDSCI4 Records 1999 I went through this phase during jungle/hip hop era where I would constantly throw hip hop acappellas over my mixes. I got pretty good at it for a while but I’m not good at doing things in moderation.  I am quite the extremist.  I did the acappella thing so much that I got sick of it and haven’t really ever done it since. This track was one of my favourites. I had a JT Money acappella of Alright and it went so well with Payback. It was a really fun mix to do. I have a lot of DSCI4 records but this one was definitely one of my tops.

Good Times

I had a really good night last night. As I slowly make a name for myself in the geriatric community, I don’t really need much, just good music and good company. Yesterday I had exactly that. The pic is hopefully how I’m starting to look as I enter my senior citizen stages. Dashing old black lady. Dope.

Submorphics and Stunna came over and we did a little preparty and then headed to Lava. I was surprised by Lava, there were people there actually dancing and they weren’t crazy weirdos, it was just people having fun. Really nice vibe and awesome music. I danced a whole bunch. Both Whoa-B and Stunna really threw down. Stunna played a hot number from good old Will Miles that was just banging. I guess it’s a Talkbox Remix that he did. Don’t really have any other info on but just know it’s a hot one! 😉

Heard some jammers yesterday. No samples. 😦

Paul SG & PouyaStanding Alone (Paul SG is seriously one of my faves right now. I love all the stuff he’s doing!)

Stunna & AmaningLandslide (I had actually heard this tune before and meant to write on it but, surprise surprise, I forgot. LOL. I think Stunna and Amanning just make a really good team. Their collabos are always slamming.)

Yesterday Stunna started his Bassdrive show with Commix’s Hung Up. Man, what a great tune. It made me think of this Commix mix from when they were on Fabio’s show last year. It’s a mini mix of some of the tunes they chose not to put on the album and it’s seriously amazing. Just beautiful drum n bass. There’s no tracklist cuz they didn’t even really say the names of the tracks.

I actually had a really good weekend. I’ve been really bored with my life lately. Shit just becomes too stagnant when you do the same things over and over again. I haven’t been frequenting Lava as much. I haven’t been kicking it with the usual suspects at the usual places. It was nice to just change stuff up. I hung out with different people and just didn’t do the same things I always do. It was really refreshing.

I went to see Stepbrothers. I admit that Will Ferrell can get annoying but I thought this movie was really funny. I think my expectations were really low and therefore I enjoyed it even more, but for what it was it was ridiculously funny. I laughed the entire time. As long as you don’t go into something pretending it something else you’re usually not going to be disappointed.

I was pretty busy this weekend and didn’t have time to go to the apple store, hence, I’m still ipod less. I rode my bike today, so no one harassed me on the train. I’m excited to get back into my ipod world but at the same time I’ve unfortunately gotten used to the mundane ipodless world.

Saw this new Commercial Suicide release that I’m kinda digging. Chris SU, Stress Level and Ant TC1, you can’t really go wrong there. I haven’t really bought anything by Stress Level and Ant TC1 over the past year, so I’m happy to see something I actually like.

Chris SU & Ant TC1 / Chris Su, Ant TC1 & Stress Level – The Vendetta / Final Cut

The other day in the Bassdrive chat room, people were complaining about Chemical Records. I was so shocked. They were talking about not receiving records and people being rude. It’s weird when a place doesn’t have consistent service. I feel like it’s important to have uniform service. Not to be a consumer nerd but dang, if you don’t make sure your employees treat people all the same way, it’s a sure fire way to lose business. I’ve never had any problems with them. I’ve always had perfect service. My records arrive in a ridiculous record amount of time. All their employees have been nothing but exemplary to me. Crazy that others would have the complete opposite experience. Chemical should really sort that out!

I don’t usually like to post sendspace mixes cuz I like my downloading experience to be a one click operation but this Dj Clart and Simplification mix looks wicked so I guess i’ll concede for today. 🙂
