Steo

I’ll admit it, you don’t have to try that hard to make me love a track that has a lady vocal and is liquidy.  Dude vocal… maybe you have to try a little harder.  I actually don’t know if there’s a lot of male vocalists that I can list off the top of my head that I want to hear on a dnb track.  Steo though, I’m down for sure.  His voice is dope.  It’s late and I’m up and wide awake for no reason, so I’ve created a little Steo playlist that is keeping me company.

Inconsistent Kiki

The only thing consistent about Chicago weather is that it’s always inconsistent.  LOL.  49  and rainy the other day and 90 an sunny today.  I’m not complaining.  I’m totally down for a sweaty, balmy Memorial Day bbq holiday. 🙂

Summer school started and….  not sure how I feel about it.  It was def. the right decision because I’m trying to get my program finished quickly by going straight through but at the same time having classes that are usually 16 weeks long condensed to 6 week sessions is a bit tough.  It’s only been one week, hopefully I’ll get a handle on it better as the session continues.

I’ve been on a bit of an Icicle kick lately. ❤

Kiki’s Back

Yes! I finally feel like myself again. I’ve had a really crappy two weeks. I’ve just been a stroppy cow and felt pretty miserable and had family issues and money issues… Life basically has not been going my way. You know how it goes, you wallow in it for a bit and then you realise that there isn’t really anything you can do so you snap out of it and continue trudging along.

Here’s some tracks I’m loving.

Icicle feat. NymfoGreen Goblin

Schema – Demensions (track is in the player)

Paul Saint Jack – Eclipse (track is in the player)

It’s my best friend’s birthday today. Happy birthday fool.

Happy Birthday!

Today’s Oldie: Dj RedUprise Trouble On Vinyl 1997  Trouble On Vinyl was a force to be reckoned with back in the day. I have a lot of tracks from that label. This track is amazing. Everything about it is awesome. I love the way the bassline creeps in and rises when you’re in the mix. I love the way the bassline rolls and swallows you whole when you’re just listening to it. Such a classic. I have a tape pack from back then where everyone mixes all the same tracks like they used to and no matter who mixed it, every time the track comes on you can hear the crowd going nuts. True anthem style. I didn’t own the record and when I wanted it took me forever to find it but now I finally own it and I’m a happy camper. Loves it.

Don’t Tell Kiki The Babysitter’s Dead

My brother always makes fun of me for my issues about being left out. I’m convinced it’s a drawback of being the middle child. I have no qualms admitting that I suffer from middle child syndrome. You’ve witnessed it many times on here already… “Why don’t I know who Paul SG is?” “Why don’t I own that Zero T and Icicle track?” “Why didn’t anyone tell me I had a high voice?” and the latest “Am I the only one that doesn’t really know anything about beatport?” I act like people purposely exclude me from stuff. 😉

I posted that top 10 of Stunna’s yesterday. I didn’t know you could get the tracks. I’ve actually never used Beatport. Pipeline was telling me how he bought a bunch of tracks off of there the other day. Is it mostly for electronic music? Is it like an itunes store? I feel like I always ask stupid questions so sometimes I just keep shit to myself and live in a bliss of ignorance but then when everyone starts talking about shit I don’t know, I’m all like “How come no one told me?”

I don’t know what I’d do with the mp3s anyways. I guess I could listen to the individual songs on my ipod. I don’t own serato so that’s a no go. I definitely wouldn’t burn them to mix on cdjs because I’m absolutely rubbish on those things. I think it is a combination of being too heavy handed and impatient and therefore not really being able to master them. I’m sure if I didn’t have the attention span of a 3 year old it’s something I could learn to do properly but since I don’t mix out regularly enough to warrant getting the hot new tunes on mp3 I think I’ll just stay in my bliss of ignorance that I talked about a couple of sentences ago.

* Does everyone speak in long run on sentences like I do?? *

Moving on, I can’t remember the name of it but there was this Specific tune that I was nutters about, something about “breaking my heart.” Stunna turned me on to it and I’m pretty sure I even myspaced Specific to tell him how much I loved it. I swear I really don’t think I’m that much of a nerd in real life, crazy, yes, but nerdy, not necessarily all the time. Unfortunately when it comes to dnb I start to do super geeky things. I can’t help it some tunes just make me too excited.

The #3 Vandal Records podcast is by Specific. I’m excited to listen to it. I didn’t listen to the last Vandal podcast but the two before that by Redeyes and Peyo were my favourites for a while. It’s become quite silly to talk about what are my favourites. Basically i like dnb. I have a lot of favourites. The only things I will really say I dislike are clownstep and really noisy angry white boy dnb.

I have a bunch of tracks that I keep wanting to write about but time keeps escaping me. When I get all caught up at work I’ll have to do a list of my top ten or something.

Huh?

So, do I always sound like Minnie Mouse and people just don’t tell me? My hearing has been fucked up for the past couple of days and one thing I’ve noticed is that my voice is kinda high. I mightCookie Monster have to start bringing some bass into my voice, cookie monster style. It’s funny how often you take your hearing for granted. My hearing is slightly off right now and I haven’t really been able to hear things properly and I can’t seem to stop talking about it cuz it’s quite disturbing that everything doesn’t sound perfect.

I’m sorta excited to play today. I don’t only hang out with dnb people, so it’s nice to have an event that I can invite all my peeps to. It’ll be fun. I think my only gripe is I wish I had more new records. I hear so much new shit and I have a very greedy “gimme” attitude about it. I want all the stuff I hear but since I am not a millionaire and don’t mix out enough anymore to justify spending money on it, my collection at hand will have to do.

I was listening to that Format mix yesterday and there’s this awesome Zero T & Icicle track on there. Why don’t I have it?? When is it coming out?? Is it out already?? Do I need to keep using all these question marks????????? These questions need to be answered because I love the tune! 😉 We already know how I feel about Zero T, and Icicle is equally as awesome. I really am into a lot of his stuff. One of my faves is definitely Strange Fruit.

I’m trying to get my shit sorted today. I just wanna get my work done and go home.  It’s way too nice out already to be sitting inside an office. I will wholeheartedly admit that I didn’t search too hard for a mix today.  I don’t know who D Zine is but his mix will serve the purpose of keeping me company at work. 🙂
