<3 Fridays <3

So I figured, 1 year older, why not change the look a bit.  I’m not really sure that I like it but it’ll do.  I’m too much of a miser to pay for an upgrade to have a better choice of themes so these free ones are all I have. Hwilde informed me that “your template is all girly now!”  What can I say, there’s obviously a 4 year old girl trapped inside me somewhere that decided this pink explosion was the next best move. 😉

I’m happy it’s friday.  Spinn, the weekend, no work for 2 days… Bliss.  I haven’t really been that into this week to be honest.

We all know I’m Bassdrive “all day e’rry day” but I recently discovered Dj Amnesty’s show and I’m hooked.  I tune into Bassdrive throughout my workday and I usually have specific shows that I’m locking in for.  For a while I didn’t actually know when his show was on.  I would come across a replay or just happen to tune in mid show every now and again.  Now I’m in the know and I’m a fan.  Definitely check him out.  Thursdays 7am to 9am CST / 1pm to 3pm UK.  I know that’s early for us on this side of the pond but you can also catch the archive on his website www.djamnesty.com.  I listened to his set the entire time I was at the gym yesterday and loved it.  Big up Bangkok!

Tunes:
Nusense feat. NC-17 – Just Heroes (track is in both players)

Today’s Oldie:
Shy FXWolfEbony Records 1996
Late 90s and Shy FX = Ravetastic.  Bangers for sure.  Love it.

Claritin Kiki

I’m slightly better. Still stuffed up but I don’t feel like my head weighs 30 pounds so that’s awesome. Jeremy, Levi and Heath come today. Holla.

Have a good weekend peeps.

Tunes:
Electrosoul System – Attention (track is in player)

Phat Playaz – City Street (track is in player)
Overfiend is a fan of this dude.  I hear a lot of his stuff on Bassdrive. Nice chill bizness.

Beatchemist – This Close (track is in player)
I spend all day chatting to Beatchemist in the Bassdrive chat and I honestly didn’t know he produced and now that I hear his tracks I like his style a lot. I loved that These Days (also in player) that I posted back in January and this one is dope too. Really pretty.

Today’s Oldie:
Origin UnknownValley Of The ShadowsRam Records 1993
Lately I’ve been picking oldies by great duos. Andy C & Ant Miles are no exception. I remember when I got my copy of this record. It was just sitting in the bin at Bassment Records in Minneapolis and I was shocked that no one wanted it. I was clueless back then and didnt know that no one cared about jungle/dnb in Minneapolis at that time. I started listening to jungle in ’92/’93 but didnt start buying records til ’96 and was kicking myself once I started cuz I was bummed that I wasn’t going to be able to find all those tracks that I loved from back then on vinyl. Fortunately for me, no one in Minneapolis was coveting the tracks I wanted then so I managed to get a pretty decent back catalogue. It’s great that they did a refix in ’98 or whenever because this original is one of the slowest record known to man. Good luck trying to mix it with a Jonny L record. 😉 All in all this tune is a great memory from my jungle rave days. I love it.

Funky

I’ve been in a funk all week.  Boo.  No one’s happy all the time I guess so I’m trying not to let it stress me out.

Tunes:

Druid – The Blue Yonder Oh the wonders of the Bassdrive chat room.  I heard this track on Bassdrive last month.  I listen all day at work.  I have a sheet of paper that I scrawl down tracks I like on the right side of my desk and if I want to write about them I stick a post it note on the monitor.  I couldn’t find Druid’s myspace page so I’ve basically kept scratching out this track and throwing away post it notes for the past month.  LOL.  I saw a Druid in the chatroom and lo and behold it was in fact the one and only and now I can share the track with you.   I just like that it has a symphonious ring to it.   I’m not trying to be pretentious with that word, it was the only one that came to mind.  I actually had to look it up on dictionary.com to make sure it wasn’t a synonym I had made up.  I just imagine the London Symphony Orchestra playing this tune and everyone just nodding their heads.  The track is in the player.

Poise & Hybrid JCaptured Moment (track is in both of their players)  I’m not actually familiar with these two producers but I’m definitely digging the track.

CalibreDon’t Mind EP I like this EP but I can’t tell if it’s cuz I’m kinda emo this week and therefore am digging the hauntingly melancholy eerie sound to the tracks.  It’s Calibre so the production is always good, I just don’t know if I would actually play them out.

Today’s Oldie: Ellis DeeLockdown – Collusion Records 1995  Man, I don’t know what to say about this record. I loved it! It came out during this time period where I just wanted to hear random rap samples and rolling basslines. Do it well enough and I thought you were God. I would just stand in front of the speaker at raves and dance to this track like a maniac. This for sure was a party tune.
