Hot Vinyl Mess Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Lately it doesn’t seem that strange that I’m up and at ’em at the crack of dawn cuz I just wake up and get ready to go to  the gym.  Today I have to take Joia to school to help Jessica out so instead I am lying in bed typing this post as Joia watches Sponge Bob.  Hanging out with a kid at 630 in the morning is actually right up my alley cuz I can never seem to find anyone who actually wants to have conversations with me this early in the morning but Joia definitely has a lot to say.  LOL.

I’ve been listening to a lot of mixes lately.  There’s some really good ones floating around.  I’m really digging the Faironne, the new Random Movement Podcast and I’m still listening to the Quantrek.  There’s a bunch of others too but it’s just silly to list them all.

In other news, I’m in vinyl hell.  One way I’ve been combating the unemployment blues is I’ve developed a sort of schedule.  I just make sure I incorporate a bunch of stuff in my day to help time go by faster.  I don’t want to be a lazy loser just lying on the couch watching telly.  It’s not really a time schedule, it’s more of a “at some point during the day do this” schedule.  One of those things is mix for an hour or however long I decide.  This task has become harder and harder as my records are in complete disarray.  My records used to be organised.  I took an extended amount of time many years ago and came up with a pretty awesome system.  Back then I had an abundance of crates and just sorted them out that way.  Then I got this lovely record shelf from one of my friends and I was so excited the day I got it that I just started pulling shit randomly from crates and putting them on the shelf.  Now the shelf just serves as a purpose to “put records away.”  They are in no particular order and it sucks.  I can’t find a bloody thing.  I started organising them yesterday. *sigh*  It is going to take forever.  Boo. 😦

Tunes:
Netsky – Hold On

Ant TC1 & Survival – Find (track is in Ant TC1 player)

Today’s Oldie:


Firefox – Buck Rogers – Philly Blunt Records 1995
So simple yet wicked.  Old skool Roni Size is just awesome and Buck Rogers was one of my favourite shows as kid.  I am definitely showing my age now!!  Loves it.

500 Days of Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I apologise for my absence on Friday.  I sadly report that I spilled water on my laptop.  I have never darted so fast but alas it didn’t really help.  I should be grateful that it still works though.  It’s been drying for the past 3 days.  The keyboard is shot so I had to get an external one.  Fortunately it’s a wireless one so it’s not as annoying as it could be, but it’s still kind of annoying.

Smart Bar was cool.  I’m so used to playing gigs where me and my friends just sit around and drink so it’s nice to have gigs where people actually dance and they definitely do that at Smart Bar.  Not quite sure where these people come from cuz I never see them at Lava for the dnb shows there, but I am still grateful for their enthusiasm and appreciate their dancing. 🙂

I’ve had a pretty lovely weekend.  Sam and Katie are here so I’ve been enjoying really good meals and some good hang out sessions.

Yesterday I went to go see 500 Days of Summer with Melissa and Zora.  CUTE!  Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are my two favourite indie actors so it’s a double pleasure having them both be in the same film and they were adorable.  I loved the movie.  Fun fact:  I found out that the guy that directed the film went to my high school.  Not like oh in 1948 or whatever but like he was in the same year as my older brother and Melissa.  Melissa  knows him. (Melissa and I went to high school together but she was just two years older than me.)  I think as you get older you realise that at some point there’s a good chance that at least one person you went to high school or college with is going to be famous.  There’s at least 5 people that I knew during that period of my life (high school/college) that are famous.  Props to them.

Tunes:
Metrik – Time to Change (track is in player)
I was a huge fan of Stranger (also in player) last year, Spinn turned me on to it.  Metrik’s tunes give me that Video Killed The Radio Star feel.  Don’t ask me why.  LOL.  It’s not a bad thing.  Video Killed the Radio Star was my favourite song when I was like 5 and I still love it to this day.  Big up The Buggles.  Eek… my age is definitely showing!

Geez.  I must have missed you.  I’m all chatty cathy today. 🙂

Today’s Oldie:
Scorpio aka Dj Die & Roni Size – Trouble – V Recordings 1997
This tune was one I loved to mix.  It’s definitely not a good stand alone tune but it’s fun to ride out mixes with.  I remember I mixed at a Minneapolis outdoor fest called Cedar Fest one year and it was so ridiculously hot.  It was a horrible gig as they had asked me to mix between the bands but the bands kept doing their sound checks while I was mixing and they were really loud and annoying as it was some weird rock station stage (I was the queen of getting random gigs back then.  LOL.) and it was like 95 degrees out and the tables were set up directly in the sun and my records were warping as I was mixing.  I kid you not.  I remember being annoyed that I had put my records in such hot heat for people that couldn’t even hear my set anyways.  This record suffered the most.  I turned it into an ashtray for the apartment as the warping was so bad I couldn’t even play it anymore.

Fantastic Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

This was one of my favourite books as a kid.  I guess they are making a movie about it.  Since I was a child a very… very long time ago and have not really heard anything about the book since, it does seem a bit odd that they would make a movie, but what do I know.

I play word association when I try and think of titles for my posts.  I feel fantastic and that made me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox… just in case you were wondering, which I’m sure you weren’t.

Why do I feel fantastic?  Well, I had a pretty awesome weekend.  All the things you would like your weekend to be is exactly what mine was:  New people, check… Good music, check… Numerous activities, check…  the list goes on.  Do Division was fun.  There were so many people there.  Good times had all round.  I am hoping that my summer will be filled with weekends like this one.

Fresh To Def

KikiLeave a comment

I think it would be really funny if I always used the terms that I write in my everyday speech. Most of them are made up mish mashes of terms I think are funny. Other times I just know they sound funny when I say them so I purposely use them. If you know me and you ever hear me use the term Fresh to Def please slap me.

I’m having a pretty good morning. I love those days where you wake up refreshed and ready to attack whatever’s coming at ya. Amit tonight at Seminar. Stop at Lava if you’re in the Chi. I don’t know how I feel about Amit these days. I actually don’t even know any of his new stuff. I just like going out to hear dnb so I’m sure it’ll be a fun night nonetheless.

Tunes:
Commix – Underwater Scene (track is in player)
I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about this track but I like it.

Submorphics – Philly Dub (track is in player)
I’ve been meaning to put this one up for a while and just kinda forgot. Dope tune.

Today’s Oldie:
Breakbeat Era – Control Freak /Bullitproof – XL Recordings 1999
Couldn’t decide between the two so I picked both. Die & Roni Size make a good duo. I really liked this album. I’m really starting to feel old. I can’t believe that I was listening to these tracks 10 odd years ago, seems so strange.

KikiLeave a comment

It’s wednesday. My mum is coming this weekend. There’s kind of a lotta things going on around me that are pretty major. We’ll see how they pan out.

Love these tunes:

Ed Oberon – Kid Rio This track is out of control. I love it. I heard it in the mix on Tyler’s show and it was fire. Check it out, it’s in the player.

Kjell – Healing Process Lovin this one. Really great bassline. I feel like Kjell’s tracks have a distinct style, not quite sure how to describe it but whatever it is I like it.

Tyler Straub – Waiting For You I had actually meant to write about this track when I heard it on Bassdrive about a month ago but I really wanted to wait til I had a sample to share with you. It has this really serene melodic vibe that is just awesome. Not only do I have a sample but it’s actually available as a free download from the Santorin site. Now that is pretty cool. 🙂

Today’s Oldie – Roni Size – Watching Windows (Ed Rush & Optical Remix) – Talking Loud 1998 All my oldie favourites seem to be by the same artists. LOL. Seriously though, I do remember from about ’95 to about ’00 I could always rely on the same labels and the same artists for my tracks. They were the ones doing the best stuff and others couldn’t even really come close. This remix is ridiculously wonderful. I love the idea of a remix. I’m always curious to see what someone else would do with a track. The Ed Rush and Optical spin is just lovely. Classic track.

This mix should be fire.

I spent 3 hours cleaning my place yesterday to prepare for my bday extravaganza. It’s not really an extravaganza, I just like using that word. Anyways I think I inhaled too many cleaning product fumes. My nose is all stuffed up and I swear I smell Lysol Bathroom Cleaner yet I’m at work so that’s impossible. LOL

If you get a chance you should totally listen to that Operon Mix I posted yesterday. It was the soundtrack to my cleaning and was so good!

Here’s a couple hot hot hits, as my cousin in Sierra Leone calls them:

Stereotype – Torn (Track is in the player – you should listen to the other tracks too they are all good.)

BCee & Lomax – Help You (I slept on this one. I really like Intrinsic Records. They have some great releases.)

Specific – Down To You (This track is wicked. I just love the vibe.)

Lm1 – Ambient Traveller (Track is in the player. I’ve been hearing a lot of his stuff lately and I love it.)

Today’s Oldie: Roni Size – It’s Jazzy – V Recordings 1997 This was one of the first records I learned to match beats with. I love the rolling bassline. V Recordings FTW. The V Recordings back catalogue is just ridiculous. I loved everything Roni Size back then. 🙂

Toodles

Control Source – Calibration Really nice all Calibre mix. Nice easy listening.
