Brrr Kiki

Eek it’s cold.  Lava was fun last night.  I surprisingly am busy.  I say that because I usually don’t have anything to do and all of a sudden I’ve got tons of things to do.  I am definitely not complaining.  Being idle makes me sad so I’m relishing in the busyness.

Shouts to Doddi in helping me find mixes when I’m too busy to actually search for them. 😉

Watching Joia again.  I’m immersed in art projects and more Sabrina.  Woot.

Can’t seem to find too many mixes today.  Found this one on Doddi’s page.  I’m not too familiar with this person but every other time I’ve downloaded a mix of his I’ve enjoyed it.  The tracklist looks good. 🙂

Old Lady Kiki

I keep trying to come up with more ways to say that I’m geriatric.  There’s not really that many ways!  My weekend was filled with good food, good friends and lot of napping/lazing around the apartment.

Friday I went to lunch with Jesus and Shannon at this really cute place in Lincoln Square.  Really good food.  Friday night… I really did have good intentions.   I was going to gallivant across town and once my eyes started closing I admitted defeat and told my friends I would be staying home.  I think my disappointment is not actually with becoming geriatric, it’s the lack of disappointment with the transformation.  LOL.  I don’t mind staying home!  If you told me all I could do for the rest of my life starting today was to be surrounded by the company of my friends and eat amazing meals I wouldn’t even care.  I guess I didn’t think I would be hanging up my hat at 33.  And yes I’m aware that my bday is still 4 weeks away but I’m already 33 as far as I’m concerned.

I could continue with the rest of the weekend but it’s kind of the same deal so I’ll just do a quick summary.  Saturday, brunch with Ron and Rocko, loads of yummy breakfast items, good company, Small Bar with my dnb peeps, good beer, kicking it with Melissa.  Sunday, I stuffed my face at Daniela’s parents’ house to the point of feeling sick.  I couldn’t help it.  It was just too yummy.

Anyways, here we are, it’s Monday and surprisingly it seemed like everyone did most of their bbqing over the weekend.  The highlight of my Monday is Pipeline coming to fix my laptop keyboard so I don’t have to use the external one anymore.  Woot.  Hopefully all you people that actually work will enjoy your day off. 😉

Melancholy Kiki

There’s always that strange sense of longing after you come back from a trip.  No matter how little the trip is.  Once you have to get back to your regular life it just doesn’t seem as exciting.  I’m gonna have to come up with some interesting things to stop my week from being so bloody boring.

Tunes:
Electrosoul SystemWhale Dance
This one is a bit odd but I’m  a big ESS fan so I reckon I’ll probably like anything he puts out.

Sabre – Global (track is in player)
I like Sabre’s grittiness.

Hobzee & Zyon BaseSad Song (track is in Hobzee player)
Love this one.  So pretty and chill.

Today’s Oldie:

There seems to be a mix drought.  I’m not finding them as easily as I usually do.  I commend my buddy Doddi cuz he always seems to find a bunch of mixes that I have never even seen.  I found this one and listened to it and it’ll do for today.

Kiki The Loafer

This week has gone by pretty fast and I’ve done absolutely nothing profound to speak of within the past 4 days. I honestly don’t think I’m to blame though. The weather has been grey, cold, rainy and crap and that doesn’t usually incite people to be productive.

Tunes:
Total Science – Soul PatrolLenzman Remix (track is in  the Total Science player)
I don’t know why it has taken me so long to post this because I’ve liked it for a while.  Good remix.

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Trace + OpticalSpherePrototype Recordings 1998
This record brings back bad memories. I remember I bought it back then and then absent mindedly left my bag of goodies on the bus and the bus company said they didnt find it even though I know they did… What were you going to do with my dnb records sir?? LOL. Anyways I had to buy it again. Sick track.

I actually downloaded this mix from my buddy Doddi’s blog at the beginning of this month and have been listening to it on the regular. Really nice mix and tracks. I guess I just forgot to post it. Enjoy.

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.

Dj Clart – Rain (track is in player)

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.
