Hated It!

WordPress gives you a stats breakdown of the details of how many people read your blog, incoming links, what search terms they used etc. There’s the usual dnb artists and what not that people enter as search terms but the one that I find crazy is the amount of people that seem to find my blog by searching for Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather. There’s one post from ages ago where I commented on my overuse of the term “Loves It” and said that it reminded me of Blaine and Antoine. It’s mindboggling and awesome at the same time how many people read that post. Damon Wayans’s outfits were always off the chain! I along with your average Joe love Men On Film and figure they deserve another shout out today. 😉

I can’t believe we’re in December. I’m quite looking forward to Christmas this year. I just want to hang out with my family. I love it when I get to see all my brothers and sisters. This year is the 5 year anniversary of my stepfather’s death and in my mother’s culture we celebrate the life of someone who has passed every 5 years. There’s a big ceremony and a party so everyone will be coming home this year.

My family was supposed to make their wish lists and I couldn’t think of anything I really wanted. Ever since I came back from Africa at the beginning of this year I just found myself getting rid of the desire to want unnecessary items. I saw that my family over there basically survives with no extravagant items and are quite content. I racked my brain for like half an hour trying to think of things to put on my list and could only come up with 3 things??!! What happened to my greedy child status? LOL. The three things were bedsheets, “Extras” dvd box set and 10lb dumbells so I can do my weights workout routine at home. *sigh* Yes I have officially become a grown up.

Tunes:

Logistics – Daylight Creeps In (I just heard this for the first time on the mix I posted below. I guess it’s only on the Japanese Import of Reality Checkpoint. Good track nonetheless.)

J-Cut – The Beginning (track is in the player)

Sinistarr – Detroit Diesel (track is in the player) Heard this one on that Mace & Clart mix I posted yesterday. Dope.

Today’s Oldie:

Undercover Agent – Five Tones – Juice Records 1997 Oh man. This is one of the first records that I actually figured out how to use the phono/line button while mixing with. God help anyone who was listening to my sets in 1997 cuz I’m sure you got really sick of this record. LOL. It’s nothing fancy, just a nice simple rolling bassline track. Good stuff. I would still play it today if my copy wasn’t so scratched up and clackalacking like nobody’s business.

Came across this mix today. The tracklist peeked my curiousity so I decided to give it a listen. I enjoyed it. It’s an interesting contrast of tracks.

Feeniks – Sweetness

Tracklist

Dj Marky – Rotation
Grinda & Zig Zag – Colours Of The Night (Jebar Remix)

Git Up Git Out Git Something

KikiLeave a comment

Git Up Git Out is one of my favourite Outkast songs.

I don’t really feel like I did anything productive all week. Whateves, I will get myself back on track this weekend hopefully. First and foremost, laundry. I have no clothes to wear.

Last night Daniela took me out for a nice fancy pants meal. I really need to do that with my friends more often. It was just nice to catch up and eat some good food.

I don’t have any outrageous plans for the weekend. LTJ is tonight. I’m not going though, I’m just not in the mood for Smart Bar and I also don’t want to pay $15. Should be a good show. He doesn’t disappoint.

I’ve started listening to a bunch of new shows on Bassdrive. I usually just tune in to my regulars (listening to Spinn right now) but I just discovered Notion’s show and am loving it. God bless you Bassdrive. 😉

Jams:

Logistics – Cosmonaught (track is in player)

Bungle – Be Like This (track is in player)

B-complex – In Your Sunrise (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie: Krome & Time – Ganja Man (Dj Hype Remix) – Tearin Vinyl 1995 I know I’m picking another Dj Hype track but this one is just a great great remix. Classic. I loved the whole ragga jungle era.

Libra What What!

Kiki2 Comments

It’s my birthday in two weeks. I love this time of year. I’m an autumn baby and love this season to bits. The greyness, the leaves all over the ground. Awesome. I pretty much dream of weather where I can wear just a hoodie year round but instead will settle for the months of September and October.

My bike has a flat tire. Lame.

Robot Redford & M. Sauer – Missing Out – I’ve been hearing this on a lot of mixes. I really like this tune. Track is in the player

Future Sound of Cambridge Vol. 3 – Some nice tracks on there from the likes of Nu:Tone, Logistics and Commix. A couple of tunes that I’ve talked about before are on there. Dunno if I’ll be picking it up… Watch someone’s gonna play one of these tracks out and I’ll hear it on a loud sound system and be annoyed I didn’t buy it. Story of my life. 🙂

It’s the kind of day where you really want to just sit at home and be all cozied up on the couch. Alas I’ll be at my desk.

Toodles.

Today’s oldie: Jonny L – Moving Thru Air (Optical Remix) – XL Recordings 1998 I definitely was quite the Optical fan back then. I will fully admit that I had an all out dnb crush on him. I think mentally I was just on this gritty plane where I wanted my music to be raw and disgruntled yet melodic but not loud and noisy and to me Optical’s production was just that. Really great tune.

Another BBS Bookings installment. Woot woot. 😉

I’ve been hearing some Logistics tunes lately that have totally made me fall in love with his music again. When his album Now More Than Ever came out, I was full on obsessed. I loved every track and was so into his production. Winter Blues was my favourite. I had heard an unfinished version that Flight had played on her 1xtra show earlier in the year and totally sought it out quite regularly and it didn’t come out until way way later and I wasn’t even annoyed that it took so long, I was just happy to own it. Also his remix of The Great D&B Swindle was so awesome. Then I started to not be so into his stuff. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good, it was more that i was on a totally different page dnb wise. Now I’m all on it again. There’s something so deep about his production. I feel like I just get it. Does that make sense? I think it’s cool when you’re listening to an artist and you connect with their music cuz you can say to your self, “I know what you’re on about, I get it.”

I was listening to the latest Hospital Podcast and heard one of Logistics new tunes Intervention on there. Hot stuff. I actually enjoyed the podcast this time around. I feel like it’s very hit or miss with me. Sometimes I’m super into it and other times I can’t even get through the first couple of tracks. Blasphemy!!! I know, I know 😉

There’s a wicked Matrix remix of that Redeyes Luv & Haight tune with Deeizm that I said I didn’t like on the podcast. I still don’t really like the vocal but the remix is awesome. Matrix!! I’ve always really liked him. My copy of his Sleepwalk LP is too through! I can only play the first half of my fave track Asylum cuz it’s just too scratched up. Dang.

Like I said though, I thought this installment of the podcast was really good. I’ll post it once I see a link but you can also just go subscribe to it on itunes.

I also am currently loving that Nu:Logic (Nu:Tone & Logistics) Trademark track. (It’s in the player.) I heard it on that awesome Marcus Intalex mix from July and it’s just a banging track.

I don’t have any mixes to rate for you right now. I’m kinda in that zone I’ve talked about before where I just seem to listen to the chunk of mixes that I have right now on repeat. I’m sure I’ll move on to a new group of mixes pretty soon.

I feel like my summer has been a bit boring. I usually am so excited about Chicago summers but I think that this time around it took so long that the enthusiasm died and now it’s almost over. Boo. I do have an exciting fall coming up though so hopefully that will make up for it. I have two weddings to go to which are actually going to be really fun cuz they are two of my really good friends.

Seminar tonight. Stunna!!!!

I <3 Vinyl

KikiLeave a comment

I heart vinyl. The digital age is so in charge though and I’m finding that I keep missing out on awesome tracks that were on released on the cd only. So sad. I was listening to this mix and I heard a Logistics tune that is just so pretty. I asked Stunna (my dnb encyclopedia) and he said it only came out on the cd. The same thing happened with Amaning’s Tranquility. Another really awesome track that’s actually kinda old that I totally slept on cuz I was too busy trying to get the vinyl. 😦

Oh well. It’s taken me a while, (everything takes me a while cuz I’m a late larry) but I guess I’ll have to start checking out cds too. I don’t think I’ve actually bought a cd in at least 6 years.

Logistics – Daylight Creeps In

Amaning – Tranquility
