Tulum Kiki

/ Kiki / Leave a comment

Man! I’ve already been back from Mexico for 17 days?? It doesn’t seem like that at all. Covid really took me out. I’m in somewhat tip top shape again and back on the bullshit… begrudgingly.

Locus. I had a really really really lovely time. Much thanks to my homegirl Alley Cat for letting me be her +1. I loved her set so much! Not only did she play D Kay and Lee’s Wax’d, but she played a dope SPY remix of Piper. I guess it made the rounds last year, but that was my first time hearing it. It sounded amazing on that sound system in the forest. I love the Jonny L remix and SPY’s version does not disappoint. She also played an Alibi remix of Kosheen’s Hide U that was new to me and it was 🔥🔥🔥! I’m aware that some of these tunes have probably been making the rounds for a minute, but you know me, I am a bit rubbish at keeping up with the latest releases, so sorry if I’m late to the party on some of these gems.

I keep trying to pick a favourite set, but I can’t. The days were so fun and it was just a blast to be in super nice weather and listening to loud dnb. I loved LSB and Workforce’s sets from the day venue. Fabio and Dom & Roland killed it. I love the cenote venue. Such a vibe. Saturday night I raaaaaaved. 😂 I definitely danced for 8+ hours. Klute absolutely smashed it. I didn’t know the majority of the tunes he played, but it all just sounded amazing and I was so here for it. Kemal and Rob Data and Ed Rush and Optical were everything you wanted it to be. I left backstage for their sets and very much appreciated brockin out with my old JVC homies that were there as well. Shouts to MC Brace and Virgo. We deffo got our proper stomp on. 🥰

All the emcees were on point. Everyone brought it! I started feeling ill on the last day, but I’m happy I got to enjoy the majority of the festival. I was sorry to hear about all the issues some festival patrons were having with cartel and police. I was with the artists since I was staying with Alicia, and we didn’t really hear about everything that was happening til way after it happened. I had a fantastic time, but I do feel that next time safety for the festival patrons should be the number one priority.

I don’t think I will go again if they have it next year. The main reason I had so much fun is because I got to hang out with Alley Cat who is a good friend and I didn’t have to deal with any bullshit. That was my second time going to Tulum, and even though it was wonderful, I don’t think Tulum is spectacular enough for me to spend money to go there a 3rd time. There are heaps more places all over Mexico that are even more fantastic and a lot less expensive.

All in all, a fab time with some great people and amazing music. 💕

I’ve spent the whole week writing thesis chapters. I know it’s old, but this Workforce remix has matched my temperament for the past couple of days. Such a great tune.

Now & Forever Kiki

/ Kiki / Leave a comment

Summer is just speeding on. I saw Lenzman a couple of weeks ago and it was so so dope. I love being able to go out and see dnb again. I had such a good time.

I was listening to Calibre’s remix of Klute’s Now, Always, Forever on the walk home from the bar, and man, that Calibre era had such a chokehold on me. Such a great remix.

My school moved, so I’ve been busy with that. Still kicking it. Still missing my dad. Still slaving over grad school homework. Still listening to a ridiculous amount of dnb. 😊

Hope you all are well.

I really enjoyed this month’s BankBeats. 🥰

Enjoy!

This Halloween is a sad one as I’m going to a funeral to say goodbye to a kindred spirit.  My friend Reggie was hit by a drunk driver and killed.  Wonderful person.  Always smiling.  Gone to soon.  Rest in peace dear friend.  You will not be forgotten.

Textbook Kiki

/ Kiki / Leave a comment

I’ve got a midterm coming up so I’ve been reading like crazy.  The bonus to that is that I’ve just had my headphones on listening to dnb nonstop and memorizing the textbook.  Loads of really good stuff out there.  It makes me excited to download new mixes.

Tunes:
LSB – Rolling Sideways
I heard this track last year and had no idea what it was.  I forgot about it.  It’s been propping up again and now you can get it on Beatport.  Already bought it.  Love it.  Nice rolling tune.  Big up LSB.

Stunna & Edward Oberon – Looking Back
This one snuck up on me out of nowhere.  I’ve been really behind on tunes and since Stunna is one of my buddies, you would have thought that I would know this one already…. my bad.  I was listening to a mix and I was like, ooh what is this?  and then saw it was Stunna and Ed Oberon.  Anyways, digging it to the max.  ❤

Today’s Oldie:
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with oldies cuz I want to make sure I don’t post the same ones over and over.  Fortunately there are so many old tracks that I’ve managed not to post the same one twice.  Today’s goodie come courtesy of Lamebrane.  He posted it on his facebook which gladly gave me the freedom to not have to rack my brain of which one to pick. 🙂
Renegade – Terrorist (Dom & Roland Remix) – Moving Shadow 2000

I promised my girl Holly I would give her event a shout.  All proceeds go to charity.  Looks like a wicked lineup.  If you’re in London def. go check it out.

Green Bean Casserole Kiki

That’s my speciality.  I make a mean green bean casserole.  I have my own recipe but the main ingredients are still there.  I just add a few odds and ends to yum it up. 🙂

It’s been great being home.  My sister is here who I never get to see which is awesome.  Our house is chockablock full of peeps and that’s how I like it.

I hope all of you U.S. peeps enjoy your Turkey day.

Toodles.

I’m kickin’ it in St. Paul.  It’s not as humid here which is lovely.  It’s just warm and pretty.  I love seeing greenery.  It’s so beautiful.  You forget about it when you live in a city amongst tall buildings, dirty pavement and ratty alleys.  LOL.
