Motown Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

This gorgeous weather is great motivation.  I’ve already done numerous things this a.m., which is quite productive for me.  I know I wake up super early but that doesn’t usually mean I do anything.  LOL.  I usually just lay around and stare at the ceiling thinking about what activities I can do to fill up my day.

Tonight I’ll be going to The Burlington for Flosstradamus’s oldie night.  It’s pretty fun to just have a drink and listen to some Motown music.  I like that night alot.

I need to go get my bike tuned up so I can start riding it again now that it’s nice out. I love riding around the city in nice weather. 🙂

Kiki On The Mic

KikiLeave a comment

I had downloaded a set the other day and was really excited to listen to it, then once I started I heard some emcee babbling away and it ruined everything. I was quite bummed because the tracklist of the set looked pretty good and it was one of my fave djs. When I used to go to raves I was really into the emcee, that’s if they were good anyway. There was a whole different element to hyping up the party. Now, I’m sure it’s cuz I’m older, but I just have no desire to hear someone who can’t emcee properly mumbling over tracks. It doesn’t hype up the party and it’s just annoying. My dnb life today is very different from the one in the late 90’s. Now I just go to cute little intimate bars and hear my friends mix and have a drink… definitely not prime environment for someone yelling loudly with bad rhymes. I used to like a ton of emcees and now I like about 3. LOL. I just want someone who chats little but when they do say something it’s awesome and actually complements the dj’s set. That may seem like not that much to ask but the way emcees are today you’re lucky if you get it.

I will end this rant now. I just was super annoyed at the emcee i heard ruining the mix.

Hot Tunes:

L.A.O.S – Star Soul All L.A.O.S tracks kinda sound similar to me but I still love em. (track is in the player)

ATP – September (track is in the player)

Today’s Oldie: Pendulum – Still Grey – Timeless Recordings 2004 I was gonna put Another Planet as today’s oldie but both me and Submorphics agreed it was too obvious. Still Grey is an awesome track. Remember when everyone was Pendulum obsessed? Rightfully so. You gotta give props where props is due and they gave a new energy to dnb for a minute. Good track.

Found this mix when I was linking Paul Saint Jack’s page yesterday. Loved it.

Don’t Hang Up The Phone!!

KikiLeave a comment

I can’t remember if I wrote about this already or not but my phone has been fucked for like the past week. At first I was really into the silence but now it’s kinda lonely. I can make calls but not receive them or receive texts BUT if I’m on the phone then it works. How ridiculous is that? I can’t just stay on the phone forever.

Going to the Distance show tonight. Woot woot. I’m excited to hear good music. Should be fun.

Hunting for a dress for this wedding I’m going to next week is getting on my nerves. I know exactly what I want but I can’t seem to find it. That’s why it would be cool to be a designer cuz you would just make what you want and not have to worry about endless annoying shopping trips searching for something that resembles what you would like.

Man, that spotlight mix of Specific on Bassdrive yesterday was awesome. Definitely into that dude’s tunes. I’m the worst trainspotter ever. I always miss track ids and constantly ask for them to be repeated and usually still end up getting them wrong. My favourite track on the mix yesterday was called Something New. I’m pretty sure it was by Specific and I’m pretty sure that was the title, but like I just said, I’m not the best at paying attention so I could be wholeheartedly wrong.

The Arbitrators are on holiday this week so I guess there’s not much going on in the Workers’ Compensation Law world which means I’m doing menial mundane tasks around the office. It always seems like fun to have nothing to do but it’s really only fun for a couple of hours and then you just get bored of being bored.

Toodloo for now

July??

KikiLeave a comment

I had a pretty nice weekend. I mixed at a bbq. Did a 2 hour 2step/garage set which was super fun. I haven’t played those records in ages.

Why is it July l already? Where is this summer going?

Klute is playing at the last Dynamite this weekend. He is always a treat. He’s an awesome dj.

Picked up my Zero T album the other day. Get yours! – I think I’ve talked about Zero T more than any other person in my blog since I started writing it… He should make me his p.r. person! 😉

My A.D.D is in full effect. I can’t concentrate on anything and I’m procrastinating up the wazoo. I can’t even really concentrate on this post so toodles for now.

I Got Tracks and Tracks and Tracks and Tracks…

Kiki3 Comments

I was thinking the other day about how many awesome tracks have been coming out lately.  There is just a really great group of producers out there right now making amazing stuff and it’s nice that it’s not just the usual suspects.  One person I’m really digging is Naibu from France.  I already picked up that Nami Island and I’m loving that Back Engineering.  Another group I’ve been turned on to is L.A.O.S. out of Finland.  I had a release that I picked up on one of those days that I was just itching to spend money and couldn’t find anything to buy and I quite liked it but never got anything else by them.  Right now though I’m totally into that Helsinki track of theirs.

I was listening to Brandy the other day and was thinking about how she is totally the dnb sample favourite.  LOL.  There are shitload of dnb tracks that sample her vocals.  TeeBee has two tracks that I love that use snippets of her tracks and there’s also a song on this Calculon mix below that samples “I Wanna Be Down.”  The vocal rifts on that song are very dnb compatible….. “And if I don’t let you know then I won’t be for real.”

I’ve been digging this Calculon mix.  It’s Rubik Records‘ Podcast number 10 and it’s just an all round good mix.  Rubik Records have a good podcast.  Stunna was on number 8.  You can download his installment at www.rubikpodcast.com.

I’m pretty content today, nice weather, good music, can’t really complain.
