The holiday season was good to me. – Stuffed my face over Thanksgiving and spent some quality time with my family, – Jaunted over to Sierra Leone with my mum for Christmas. – Visited my dad (him being buried in Sierra Leone is bittersweet, as I don’t get to visit as often as I’d like.) – Finished up the year in Wisconsin with my sister and brother-in-law.
January is trudging along. I’m just here listening to Emma G. This month’s episode has her all vinyl demo mix from 2006 and it’s so good! So many amazing tracks came out during that era.
I’ve lived in LA for 7 years and it’s only this year I started hanging out with LA dnb people. Totally nothing wrong with that. It’s just funny to me that it took me this long.
I belonged to 2 wonderful dnb scenes that I am deeply fond of. My djing/raving years in Minneapolis and Chicago are such a treasure to me and the people that I befriended during that time are my nearest and dearest. I’m 47, don’t really go out that much anymore apart from the odd show here and there, and I am content with the friends that already exist in my life. I mix at home and have a 24 hour dnb playist in my headphones, so it’s really not all that surprising that I hadn’t made any new dnb friends, but… 7 years is a long time. ๐
Anyway, I’m enjoying the switch up. I’m used to living a solo LA dnb life and it’s nice to have some new people to share this 30 year obsession with.
Currently obsessed with this Emma G mix on TNQ’s Echobox Radio show. If you want to listen, it’s the last 30 minutes of this episode. Now we all know I never pass up a TNQ mix, but this one I’m posting solely for the Emma G guest mix. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for the past 4 days. Such a lovely mix with so many good tunes.๐
2024.โ๐ฅฐ 2023 was …โI don’t really have the words.โIt wasn’t good.โIt wasn’t bad.โIt was just there.โ
