It’s my bday on Thursday. 48. I don’t even care about the age itself, I’m just shocked that it seems to have gone by so fast!
Alix Perez on Friday. I’m excited for the show. Should be a good one.
I don’t have a mix to post. I’ve been listening to a lot of oldies. Like old oldies. I was mixing early ’90s era jungle yesterday and all those tracks had me thinking about being a young raver and how geeked I always was to go stand in front of the speaker at the weekend.
Headed back to the US this week. It’s been a long ass month.
I went to Amsterdam to hang with Submorphics for The North Quarter night at Melkweg and it did not disappoint! I’ll do a post about it later.
Currently doing some work and enjoying the tunes on rotation in my playlist, so I figured I’d share.
So happy this one finally came out! I’ve loved this tune since I first heard it on an Alix Perez Rinse FM mix back in January ’22!
Love this vocal π₯°
My girl Alicia (Alley Cat) posted something about Everything But the Girl Blame dnb remixes the other day and it made me nostalgic, so I had to throw the J Majik VIP back into rotation. My vinyl got worn out! I was obsessed with this track I tell you. π
Been on an En:vy kick for a minute now.
Meant to share this one last month, but as you can obviously see I’ve been rubbish at posting. Too busy gallivanting to and fro. The homies Calculon and Stunna really brought it with this one. This is the vibe I’m always trying to be at. It makes me think of multicoloured cocktails, turquoise blue water, and sand. Booking the next ticket STAT!
I’m not gonna act like I’m not excited that I don’t have to work today. Β LOL. Β The sun is out. Β It’s gorgeous. Β One of my uncles is here from England and I’m gonna go traipse around the city and enjoy the day. Β Woot. π

So I’m going to be computerless for the rest of the week.Β If my old laptop cooperates then I’ll post but I can’t guarantee that it’ll happen.Β I’m at my brother’s using his right now.Β This not having a computer for the rest of the week willΒ be very interesting as I spend pretty much all my time online.Β I might actually have to… *gasp*Β leave the house! π
I had a pretty good weekend.Β Everything I did turned out to be really fun and you know that doesn’t happen often so I was pleased.
Unemployment has turned me into a new version of myself.Β I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing but it definitely is interesting.Β I think that not having specific things to tend to all day makes a person get creative when it comes to deciding what to do to make time pass.Β I attribute my 2.0 version mostly to that. π

Well not really, I definitely wouldn’t classify myself as a person who “wilds out.” I’ve just always thought that phrase was funny. The hosts on 106th & Park always sound so amped when they talk about it “What up, what up what up, it’s WILD OUT WEDNESDAY!!!”
I will however be “wildin’ out” to Mutt today though. I feel like my whole day will be Mutt related. LOL. First, he’s playing Bassdrive from 2pm to 5pm cst for a special Greenroom session with Stunna, and Sinistarr so definitely tune in. Then he’s also playing at Seminar tonight.
Today’s Oldie: J Majik & Danny J – The Lizard – Infrared Records 2000 This wasn’t one of my fave J Majik tracks but I do remember people going nuts on the dancefloor so I figured it would work for today.
Might as well keep up the Greenroom momentum and post an old Stunna & Pipeline sesh from 2007.
I’m going to Seminar tonight for a little dubstep presha! Should be good times. Clever from Offshore is playing along with Cringer and BRC. If you’re in Chi you should come out. You know you’re pretty much guaranteed to see me at Lava on wednesdays… It’s a 5 minute walk from my house dammit!
Today’s Oldie: Everything But The Girl – Blame (J Majik Remix) – Virgin 1999 I can tell you where I lost every record I’ve ever lost. LOL. The whole losing of the record is always so traumatic for me (god I love to exaggerate) that I remember the moment like it was yesterday. I love this remix. Like love love love it. It just evoked such a happy warm feeling that I always got excited when it came on. I loved the Everything But The Girl original and I just think that J Majik did a lovely job with the remix. I mixed at this huge new years eve party that year. It was about to be ’00 and the party was just insane.Β I had a blast but there was seriously like 12 of us mixing from around 9pm to about 6am and all our records got mixed together due to the debauchery that was taking place. I’m usually pretty anal about watching over my records but these were all my really close friends so I was kinda lax about putting them away. When i got home the next evening, yes next evening, LOL, I was putting my records away and that record was nowhere to be found. It was part of a remix LP and I only had the other record with the other remixes that I didn’t like on it. Boo. I remember hounding Jimmy about whether or not he’d seen it and was so gutted. Lame. I know one of my friends probably has it but their record collections were all ridiculously huge and there wasn’t really any intense hunting going on to find it. I couldn’t find another copy of it around that time and just was so bummed. I had actually forgotten about it until today. I just found a copy online and bought it. Yay. This oldies section is doing wonders for replenishing my record collection. π
