Yes, It’s Me… Prodigal Kiki

I haven’t updated since January?  Ooh I’m horrid.

I feel like I don’t remember what it’s like to have free time anymore.

I was excited cuz I’m only taking one class this summer, which means I’ll actually get a summer holiday this year.  Didn’t get one last year but I survived.  I signed up to take the class at the end of the summer so I could start my summer holiday now since school just finished and then they switched the class to the beginning of the summer.  Can you say gutted?  I was so devastated when I found out. 😦  Now I just have to buck up and wait til July as school starts again in two weeks now.  I still get a summer holiday but I just have to wait 2 more months.  I’m dealing.  I did get a good sulk in though.

I’m in London right now.  Came to see the fam.  So at least I get a mini break.  I just really wanted to have more than 2 weeks off as I am completely burnt the fuck out.

It also happens to be my blog’s bday today.  I know I never have time to write in it but I’m still gonna acknowledge its bday.  I decided not to delete it and will just post whenever some magical free time comes my way.  I thought I would have more free time to write while I was here but my cousin just passed away two days ago and I’ve been doing family stuff.  R.I.P. Anthony.

Hope all is well in your brocktastic land,  I’m busy but alive and still getting my dnb fix when I can.

xoxo

These tunes are prolly old to you but since I haven’t updated in eons they are tunes that I have kinda just kept in mind.
Tunes:

LogisticsWe Are One (Nu: Logic Remix)
Can’t get enough of these drums.  They are just amazing.  Really great remix.

Penny Giles – Rhodes Adrift
Dreamy. 

KyshidoI Like The Way You Move
I prolly like this tune cuz whenever I hear it it makes me want to mix Pulp Fiction.  Nice simple effective bassline.

Planas feat Ed ThomasBreathtaking (dBridge Remix)
Loves it!  So good.

Kiki, Where You Been?!!

Everywhere. 🙂  I had three weeks off from school and just ran with it.  I just got back from visiting my besties in Minneapolis.  Really lovely relaxing time.  I’ve noticed that I don’t really have much time to sit around and just do nothing.  Sometimes it would be nice to have some of that time back cuz that “sit around and do nothing time” is usually when I write in my blog.  Right now it’s 4:30 in the morning and I figured I might as well write a quick post before I have to start my day.

Penny Giles – Au Revoir Blackbird

Burger Queen Kiki

Yesterday was fun.  We all went to eat at Lockdown Bar & Grill to send Submorphics off on his European excursion.  Really good burgers.  I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, which doesn’t always necessarily happen when you go out to eat.  I haven’t really seen my friends in a while so it was nice for all of us to sit and eat and kick it.

If you’re in London tomorrow go check out Submorphics at Fabric and then for all you Serbians he will be in Belgrade on October 1 and Nis on October 2.

Au Revoir 2009

I’m making an executive decision and doing my end of year top tracks today.  I’m going to Philly today and then I’m not taking my laptop with me to NY tomorrow so that really leaves me no time to write.

Here is my repeat of end of year disclaimers…

My list is always going to be kinda bogus.  LOL.  The tunes I blogged about towards the end of the year are still fresh in my mind and therefore get more attention than the ones I blogged about back in the beginning of the year cuz I’m not sick of hearing them yet.  The list is in no particular order.  I have been told that I have strange taste in some dnb track so my list means absolutely nothing.  It’s just a compilation of songs that I personally liked over 2009.  We also must take into account that the latter half of the year I wasn’t as diligent about writing tracks down due to the loss of my job so I’m not as up on new tunes as I used to be.  This list is just of tracks that I would have been happy to keep on my ipod for the past 365 days.

End of disclaimer. 😉

I mulled over my list for ages.  I started out with 70 tracks and could only cut it down to 30 this year.  LOL.  I really tried to narrow it to at least 20 but I really like all the tracks on the list, so 30 it is.  Eek.  This will be a long post. 🙂

It’s awesome when you wake up and you feel inspired and ready to attack the day.  I feel that way today even though it’s gray, gloomy and rainy. 🙂

Tunes:
Quantrek & Heavy 1 – Independent (track is in Heavy 1 player)
I have been digging this tune ever since I heard it on Soultec’s July Studio mix.  I couldn’t find the artists cuz it was spelled wrong in the tracklist.  Thanks to Dvus and the Bassdrive Chat posse for filling me in.  Love it.  Big up Japan.
