Still at my mum’s.
Found some amazing old mixes of mine.
They are still in great condition and don’t sound half bad! 😊
Listening to some oldies today.
This Matrix and Fierce is so good.
I played it non-stop when I first bought the vinyl.
23 years old and is still so dope. 🔥🔥🔥
There’s like 15 tracks that I listen to on the regular that are old as hell.
I ran to some Matrix jams this morning and I still vibe off how ridiculously good they are.
One could say I’m stuck in the olden days and I’m totally OK with that. I just have so many awesome memories of raving back then, so I cherish all those tracks from that time period.
I still listen to new stuff but that’s while I’m grading, lesson planning, and being a boring old lady, not hugging the speakers. 😉
This one’s not to shabby either. 🙂
I just got internet at my apartment this weekend. I have it at school but dang, a month without internet in your home is rough yo.
That was me every night.
Anyways, school officially starts tomorrow. Gotta get introduced to the school as the new ALT and all that jazz. In the meantime I’m not actually listening to anything new, just cleaning, making worksheets and listening to old faves. It’s not hard to be productive when you’ve got Matrix playing in the background. 🙂
I admit defeat. Graduate school is officially the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I still am enjoying what I’m learning but dang, there’s so much work and it really is becoming a bit overwhelming. Don’t worry I’m not gonna get all emo. I’m hanging in there. I can’t wait til this semester is over though.
Some good dnb shows come up in the Chi so that’s at least something to look forward to.
Always good to see A Sides. He never disappoints. ❤
The following week Calculon will be back throwing down at Smart Bar. Love Calculon too. Will be an awesome distraction to hang out with the dnb homies and listen to some good tunes as finals approach. If you are in town make sure to come hang out. You know there are good times to be had!

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I was trying to get myself back in gear after my trip. It was quite busy and went by so fast.
The rave was pure insanity. It was like it was 1995 yet I was 33 not 19. I had a blast though. My set was awesome and it was really great seeing my crew. I couldn’t believe how many kids were there. One candy raver ridiculously adorned in about 25 candy necklaces asked me if this was my first rave. When I replied that I was 33 so no, he responded with “what were raves like back then?” LOL. Yes people I am a geriatric. 😉
I had a really good time with all my Minneapolis people too. Went trick or treating with my friends kiddies and they were adorable.
I have a bunch of mixes to catch up on so I don’t really have any tunes for you just yet.

Friday has showed up yet again… why does she keep doing that? Is this how unemployment is the whole time you’re on it? The days just blurr together? Seems like it to me. 🙂
Matt Martin’s wedding is tomorrow. There is definite fun to be had. It’s amazing that as many weddings as I go to as I get older I still have no desire to get married. I just don’t see it happening. I’m never like “oh I want that.” My aversion must be uber strong with the amount of weddings I’ve been to in the past 2 years and still haven’t changed my mind. LOL. Diamonds are nice though. 😉
Tunes:
Spectrasoul – How Strange I Was (track is in player)
Dkay & Lee – Tuning VIP (track is in Brigand Music player)
I heard this a really long time ago in a mix and was digging it. I’m happy that it’s finally coming out.
Today’s Oldie:
Kaos, Karl K feat. Jae Kennedy – All Night Long (Matrix & Fierce Remix) – Circle Recordings 2004
I really love this record. I’m pretty sure that one of the reasons is because it samples one of my fave Daft Punk songs High Life. It’s just kind of a happy track. ❤
I never got around to listening to the other mix of his that was floating around but this tracklist looks good so it’s worth a shot.

Man, when you sit at the computer for 8 hours a day you really do lead a completely different life. I’m finding it quite odd adjusting to these new activities that seem to have made their way into my daily schedule. I had become quite adjusted to immersing myself in the internet realm. Am I anxious to get back to it? I honestly couldn’t tell you.
I think it is harder for me to be all up in the dnb biz as I’m not endlessly searching for mixes and new artists. Today is the first day I have downloaded new mixes in like 5 days which is a far cry from the 4 to 5 a day I was downloading and listening to while at work.
I’m discussing this as if it’s something of great importance. LOL. I was just thinking about it while I was adding some new mixes to my ipod and decided to share my thoughts. Obviously this is just babble and of no use to anyone but at least I’ve gotten the thought out of my brain. 😉
Tunes:
Luca – Break and Enter (track is in player)
Today’s Oldie:
Konflict – Roadblock (Matrix Remix) – Renegade Hardware 2000
Cloak & Dagger – Offshore Podcast 4
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.
