Logistics

I’ve made an attempt to write several posts on here and then just kind of abandoned them.

2021 didn’t start out that great for me. My father passed away on December 30th of last year. There’s a lot to try and sort out as I live in America, my father was in London and we’re Sierra Leonean. I’ll be leaving on Monday to go to Sierra Leone to bury him as that was what he wanted.

I’ve been really overwhelmed and sad and have just been zoning out to dnb mixes as I try to get stuff organized.

Loz Contreras & Myras’s show has been so lovely. I am usually there to listen immediately after it’s posted, but the past 6 weeks have been a bit trying, so I’ve basically spent this week catching up on like 6 shows. The selection is 100% up my alley. I’m so here for the “feel good” selections. They are really comforting.

I really enjoyed this week’s show so I’m sharing it here. Always going to love a Logistics spotlight. 🥰

The only way for me to get a move on when it’s a rainy, dreary, grey morning, is to zone out to some dnb and go on auto-pilot.

Thank you Logistics.  One of my fave tracks of the Electric Sun LP.

Logistics – Polyphony

/ Kiki / Leave a comment

After I posted that Logistics tune, I realised that I never said anything about the Polyphony album even though I’ve been listening to it non-stop for the past couple of months.  September was  a super busy month for me so I’ve been busy living in dnb lala land and just listening to tunes and doing work.

Anyways, I love it, the album I mean.  Some really good tunes on there.  I started out just buying a couple of tunes and ended up buying pretty much the whole thing.  

When Now More Than Ever came out, I caned that thing to death and still listen to a lot of tunes off that album regularly.  I get super obsessed with an artist and play them until I get sick of them.  Some of them I don’t seem to get sick of (see Calibre, Lenzman etc … the artists that you are probably sick of me posting mixes of.) and others I have a minor falling out with and sometimes revisit.  

I haven’t listened to Logistics for a super long time.  Lemme rephrase that, I haven’t listened to new Logistics stuff in a super longtime.  I’ll play Together or The Great Drum & Bass Swindle (Life is Beautiful) remix or anything from back in the day like it came out yesterday. 

I don’t think I actually have a fave on the album cuz I seem to like most of the songs equally but here’s No Hurry Time anyway. 🙂

I haven’t updated since January?  Ooh I’m horrid.

I feel like I don’t remember what it’s like to have free time anymore.

I was excited cuz I’m only taking one class this summer, which means I’ll actually get a summer holiday this year.  Didn’t get one last year but I survived.  I signed up to take the class at the end of the summer so I could start my summer holiday now since school just finished and then they switched the class to the beginning of the summer.  Can you say gutted?  I was so devastated when I found out. 😦  Now I just have to buck up and wait til July as school starts again in two weeks now.  I still get a summer holiday but I just have to wait 2 more months.  I’m dealing.  I did get a good sulk in though.

I’m in London right now.  Came to see the fam.  So at least I get a mini break.  I just really wanted to have more than 2 weeks off as I am completely burnt the fuck out.

It also happens to be my blog’s bday today.  I know I never have time to write in it but I’m still gonna acknowledge its bday.  I decided not to delete it and will just post whenever some magical free time comes my way.  I thought I would have more free time to write while I was here but my cousin just passed away two days ago and I’ve been doing family stuff.  R.I.P. Anthony.

Hope all is well in your brocktastic land,  I’m busy but alive and still getting my dnb fix when I can.

xoxo

These tunes are prolly old to you but since I haven’t updated in eons they are tunes that I have kinda just kept in mind.
Tunes:

Logistics – We Are One (Nu: Logic Remix)
Can’t get enough of these drums.  They are just amazing.  Really great remix.

Penny Giles – Rhodes Adrift
Dreamy. 

Kyshido – I Like The Way You Move
I prolly like this tune cuz whenever I hear it it makes me want to mix Pulp Fiction.  Nice simple effective bassline.

Planas feat Ed Thomas – Breathtaking (dBridge Remix)
Loves it!  So good.

Au Revoir 2009

/ Kiki / 1 Comment

I’m making an executive decision and doing my end of year top tracks today.  I’m going to Philly today and then I’m not taking my laptop with me to NY tomorrow so that really leaves me no time to write.

Here is my repeat of end of year disclaimers…

My list is always going to be kinda bogus.  LOL.  The tunes I blogged about towards the end of the year are still fresh in my mind and therefore get more attention than the ones I blogged about back in the beginning of the year cuz I’m not sick of hearing them yet.  The list is in no particular order.  I have been told that I have strange taste in some dnb track so my list means absolutely nothing.  It’s just a compilation of songs that I personally liked over 2009.  We also must take into account that the latter half of the year I wasn’t as diligent about writing tracks down due to the loss of my job so I’m not as up on new tunes as I used to be.  This list is just of tracks that I would have been happy to keep on my ipod for the past 365 days.

End of disclaimer. 😉

I mulled over my list for ages.  I started out with 70 tracks and could only cut it down to 30 this year.  LOL.  I really tried to narrow it to at least 20 but I really like all the tracks on the list, so 30 it is.  Eek.  This will be a long post. 🙂

I’m back in Chi.  I had a pretty awesome time at home in Madison.  My niece is out of control cute.  Went to the African Festival with the fam and also hung out with some old high school buddies.  I’m 32 now but it’s definitely funny to hang out with people that have known you since you were 13 that you don’t see all the time.  You tend to resort back to high school days.  Good times.

Summer is coming to an end.  My goal is to have a job by October.  If it happens sooner, awesome.  I have never applied for so many jobs in my life.  Come on people.  I’m cool.  Hire me. 😉

Tunes:
Logistics – Platinum
I guess Logistics has a new LP coming out.  I listened to the tracks. (If you click on the Platinum link it goes to the Chemical Records deck where you can hear the other tracks that are getting released on the vinyl version)  *shrugs* They’re ok.  I do like this one though.  I like Murderation as well.

Today’s Oldie:
Logistics – Millionaire – Innerground Records 2004
Might as well do a Logistics oldie too. 🙂
