Cold Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s cold.  I’ve been fighting it but I actually had to bust out the peacoat.  Boo.  The thing I hate most about it not being summer is socks.  Yes you heard correctly.  I hate wearing socks.  They annoy the crap out of me.  LOL.

I’ve been slacking on the tunes department lately.  It’s not that I don’t have tunes to talk about, it’s more that I don’t have samples of the newest ones I like  to share with you. 😦  It’s bad enough that you listen to me babble but who wants to hear me talk about tunes that you can’t hear yourself?  LOL.

Today’s Oldie:
Stakka & K. Tee – Orange Sunshine – Ram Records 1996

Totally forgot to post this once the mp3 mirror became available.  Yay for the return of Soul:ution Radio. 🙂

Week of Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

It’s my birthday week.  I’m not doing a party this year as I have the past 3 years so instead I’m just milking the whole week and going out of my way to do fun things.  My friend Andy just called and said one of the bands he plays with Why? is coming into town and playing Bottom Lounge tonight so now my week is starting out awesome and goes all the way through to my bday on saturday.  Woot.

I had a pretty lowkey weekend.  Lots of lounging and hanging out action.  I did finish organising my records though which is awesome.  I just have some last minute divider/labeling stuff to do and then I’ll be one happy camper.

Daylight Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve been up for a while. The daylight savings is totally messing with me but I’m not having the same problem others are probably having. I’m just up even earlier so I just hang out for even longer in the morning than usual. Not cool.

Tunes:
Paul B – Have No Fear (track is in player)
I’m liking this Paul B. It has this nice cadence to it. Kinda like Marcus Intalex’s and ST Files’ How you Make Me Feel.

Today’s Oldie:
Shimon & Andy C – Night Flight – Ram Records 1996
I remember I wasn’t really that into this track when it came out. It was ok but I didn’t think it was spectacular. It was another one of those tunes that dominated the tape packs. Listening to it today though I kinda like how simple it is.

Waiting For Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I’m going to Mexico next week for my best friend’s wedding.  I feel like all I’m doing these days is just waiting to leave.  The weather is whatever, work is whatever, going out is whatever.  I’m not in a bad mood about it or anything, I just want to lie on a beach and drink the beautiful cocktails that I love to daydream about and soak up the sun as soon as possible.  7 days and counting.  Holla.

I was telling Stunna yesterday that I’ve totally been in a lazy funk. At first I was annoyed and stressed for a couple of weeks and now I’m just lazy. I decided to snap out of it yesterday and I’m in full form again. I went crazy listening to dnb and am back to full on post it note scrawled pieces of paper form. I have tracks to talk about and I actually went out. Holla.

It was dubstep night at Seminar. Chicago’s dubstep scene really is fire. Nameloc and Borja are on some other shit with their production. Loves it!

Tunes I’m lovin’:

Naibu – Here Now (track is in the player) It’s no secret that I heart Naibu. This track is dope.

Arje – Awakenings Really great rolling track. Heard this on Overfiend’s show. No sample but definitely check out the stuff in his player.

Future Engineers – Eden ( Method One Remix) Track is in the player.

Today’s Oldie:
EZ Rollers – Tough At The Top (Origin Unknown Remix) – Moving Shadow 1998 Talk about great remix. I loved the original already and then Origin Unknown came with this gritty version and it was fire. Loves it.

If you’re in Chi you should make a trip to Smart Bar tonight for some liquidy goodness at Junglefly. All of your faves in the house, Stunna, BRC, Submorphics etc. Should be a good night.

Happy Halloween!

My friends Ron & Rocko are having a Halloween party and everyone’s dressing up so I guess I will have to also.  Being a British kid there really wasn’t any trick or treating and dressing up going on so adopting this habit so late in life seems so silly but whatever.  I will find the cheapest accessories possible and be dressed up.  No one likes to be the only one not dressed up do they?

I used to have a ridiculous obsession with all types of sweets.  I would eat them constantly instead of real food but now that I’m health conscious and whatever I pretty much don’t indulge in them too much.  The only sweet I really can’t give up is ice cream and even that I have given in and buy the low fat no sugar kind… yep I’m boring.  Today though, in honour of all trick or treaters everywhere I will be stuffing my face with copious amounts of sugar. 😉

Hot Tunes:

Magical Gravity feat. Adam Noid – Singular Joy (track is in the player)  Heard this one on Stunna’s show the other day.

Today’s Oldie:  Marcus Intalex & ST Files – How You Make Me Feel – 31 Records 1999 This track is so lovely.  I still play it quite frequently.  Great vocal.  Lovely flow to the bassline.  One of my Marcus Intalex faves for sure.

I post these Format mixes a lot cuz they are really good to listen to.  Nice track selection and all in all just good dnb.

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!!!!

So I’ve already admitted that I have ultra nerdy tendencies when it comes to my dnb. One of the things that I do religiously is write down the name of tracks with hopes of someday owning them. I know sometimes these tracks never come out but with this day and age there’s hope that I could track down and mp3 or something eventually.

I have this folder in my email where I just email myself track names and just kinda glance over them every once in a while to update it and keep track if I have managed to acquire any of the tunes. One tune that’s been on there for years is a track I identified as a “Brother” Calibre Remix on Defunked. I didn’t just make this title and label up on my own. I copied it from numerous tracklists of mixes that I had heard that track on since 2003. Well lo and behold that is not the name of the track and that’s why I’ve never been able to find it. My dnb encyclopedia Stunna enlightened me today. I should feel some sense of relief cuz this is one of the main tracks on the list that has puzzled me as I have never been able to find it. Alas I’m so over it now that I don’t even care and can’t be bothered to even tell you what the track was. I just bought the cd off amazon so I guess I can move on with my life. LOL.

I saw a promo for the Marcus Intalex – Astro Dance EP and got confused cuz I could have sworn The Sentry has been making the rounds forever. I’m already sick of hearing that track. Funnily though after a quick chat with Submorphics we concluded that I listen to too many mixes so here I am thinking that tracks have already come out because I’ve been listening to them for months but in fact they haven’t been released. *shrugs* I haven’t bought a Soul:R record in two years at least. They just don’t seem to hit it with me like they used to. I love Marcus Intalex but I feel like the releases aren’t as amazing as lets say an Outerspace. I liked The Sentry when I first heard it and I do like Cabin Fever. I guess it’s a decent release, I just don’t know if I’ll buy it though.

I’ve been really busy at work today typing this brief for my boss. I can think of nothing more boring. It’s 20 pages so far. *sigh* I’m just listening to music and trying to stay awake.

I’ve got no idea who this Maxtekk is but I really liked the mix. There’s a few technical glitches here and there but I loved the selection. His page is in Russian so if you can read it lemme know the details about him cuz I am unfortunately am not fluent in Russian. 😉

Man, do I love to laugh.  I spend a majority of my day doing just that.  I find everything funny.  I am fortunate that pretty much all of my friends have the same sense of humour as me so I’m pretty much like Dave Chappelle in that one skit where he pretends to be Eminem and he’s like “I got jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes..” 🙂

Usually when I wake up, I just get ready and go straight to work.  I feel like if I’m awake, what’s the point in sitting around waiting to go to work.  Today though my boss is out of town so I decided to take my sweet time and come in around nine.  I spent 2 hours watching Extras instead.  That’s pretty much one of my top 3 favourite shows.  I think Ricky Gervais is hilarious.  I loved the British version of The Office.  I like the American version too but I just like the BBC one more.

I’m always dying of laughter when I watch Extras.  If you ever get a chance to watch it you won’t be disappointed.  If you’re American though you might find season 2 funnier than season 1 cuz I feel like season 1 has more British stars in it and they might not be as funny to you.  The finale of season 1 though has Patrick Stewart and it’s a really great episode.  I’m asking for the dvds for Christmas for sure.

Moving on… I enjoyed listening to Bassdrive again today.  I was listening to Will Miles show.  Bassdrive is kind of a dream for me cuz I just get to listen to non-stop dnb and do my work and it’s not crap.  Heard this Stanza tune called Lost Out that I was really digging.  Will definitely be looking out for that one.

Good ol’ Marcus Intalex has another installment of Soul:ution Radio.  I see he has some Brother tracks on there.  I’ve been loving a lot of that dude’s stuff lately!

Enjoy.
