Content Chaos Kiki

My life is def chaotic at the moment. I’m somewhat content though, so it’s not as stressful as it could be.

This semester will be done in a couple of weeks. My program requires that I do a summer semester, but I’ll still get a two week break, which I’m very much looking forward to.

Shows are back in full force! The Xcellerated lineup this weekend tho… ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Getting all my work done early so I can go and proper enjoy myself. Totally thought my eyes were deceiving me when I first saw the flyer. I’ve seen Zero T, Artificial Intelligence and Commix before, but not Redeyes. We know how I love my French dnb.

Very excited to just go listen to great music and dance. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Up early doing aforementioned work and listening to some Zero T. So many bangers. That Groove Theory tune at the end! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Don’t mind me, just up raving and doing homework at 3:45 am on a Tuesday. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Liquid & Kiki

It’s funny to me that I used to mix super duper noisy, rowdy, party drum n bass in my younger years. While I was at my mum’s I found all these old mixtapes of tag team sessions with me and my crew and they were so live and fun!

At 45, my knees and ears are def not in the mood for that type of dnb, but it was really enjoyable to take a trip down memory lane. (my mum still has a stereo with a tape deck, so I listened to the tapes).

It’s been liquid all day ‘erry day for me since about 2003. But I had a good 8 or 9 years where I was only about jump up, ragga jungle, and whatever you want to call the different genres that came out over those years that made me want to hug the speaker the most. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I still like to go out and listen to dnb when I can. I do have the odd dance here and there. That Phonox event that Greg played at back in November, I danced for like 4 hours straight! Most of the time though I’m looking for a pleasant soundtrack for my day-to-day activities. As long as they are “Senior-citizen/pensioner” friendly. LOL. Really just mostly want background music as I lesson plan, clean, work out and drive for long periods of time.

I’m probs late to the game, but I just subscribed to this YouTube channel and it’s bringing me so much joy as I lesson plan for the week. ๐Ÿ˜

Endorphins Kiki

I am a really early riser. Like super early. We’re talking 4/4:30 am. I’ve been like that for as long as I can remember. I usually don’t do anything but mull over my life, lay in bed, watch telly or read. I’m trying to be more productive though and go to the gym at that time instead. Fortunately my gym isn’t that far from my house or I know I def wouldn’t go. ๐Ÿ˜‚ One of the motivators is knowing I will get to listen to really loud dnb for about an hour and a half while I release those endorphins. It’s so enjoyable. I never regret going. I just gotta get my ass up and moving.

I love this point of the summer. All the liquidy goodness that’s being released matches the outside energy. Blue skies, warm weather… yes I know I live in LA, but still. I guess let me rephrase it as matching the energy of the season that the majority of the world is experiencing at the same time.

So many bangers bringing me joy as I sweat away my troubles. These 2 were especially giving me all the feels this morning. So dreamy. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Last Minute Kiki

Ugh. I hate making these Google Forms quizzes. I wait until the last minute and then drag it the fuck out. Smh. I’m so annoying. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I’m going to be 44 on Saturday and still haven’t sorted out how to be less of a procrastinator.

The weather is finally cooling down here in LA. This week’s installment of Loz Contreras & Myras’s radio show is exactly the vibe I’m going for as I knock out these tests. ๐Ÿฅฐ
