Work is actually pretty busy this week.  Not much to report.  I feel like my past couple of weeks have been kinda rowdy so maybe it is time to just wind down and act normal.

Tunes:
Sable Gray – Pale Shelter (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
Remarc – In Da Hood – Suburban Base Records 1996
I love the sound of jungle oldies.  It automatically makes me think of doing the ravey jungle skank where you just rock from side to side and boys do the same while pointing imaginary guns in the air… LOL.  True old skool style.

I’m a little bit on the broke side these past couple of days so I’ve been trying not to keep up with too many tracks cuz I just get annoyed that I can’t buy them.

I have become completely obsessed with riding my bike though. The wind, the sun and the outdoors are seriously a great treat while riding around. 🙂

I was listening to the forthcoming tracks on Chemical and there was this DKay track on there. It was ok. It made me think how four years ago all I had to see was DKay’s name on a release and I would buy it. It’s just funny how one’s tastes change. There’s nothing wrong with DKay. I still like his stuff just fine. I think I’ve just reached a point where I expect more. It’s so exciting to listen to a new track and be completely wowed by how innovative it is and how people are taking production to new levels. With that said though, I really did like that DKay – Individual Soul. I would listen to the whole thing while driving to Madison to see my mum and just be completely engrossed in this beautiful jazzy dnb world. If you’ve never listened to it you totally should. It’s quite amazing.

I saw that Lenzman & Submorphics – Respiration/Way Back When promo on the new releases list. Isn’t Way Back When super old?? I feel like I heard that track ages ago. I think Lenzman and Submorphics is a really good combo. The record is great.

I can’t exactly remember who I was having the conversation with, I think it was Pipeline and Sable Gray, but you really can’t keep tracks under wraps for that long anymore. People get bored and don’t wanna buy them when it finally does come out. I feel like I would have totally bought that Lenzman & Submorphics record back when I first heard it, whenever it was, but it seems so old to me now that I wouldn’t even think about spending money on it. I remember hearing LK and not knowing the name of the track and being too far away from the decks to ask or trainspot and then the track didn’t come out until 2 years after that. I’m so glad those days are over.

Alix Perez & Lynx were on Kiss FM. They are definitely two of the dnb darlings right now. It’s nice to be able to hear all these mixes but I’m starting to get the One Nation tape series syndrome. You know what I mean? People mix out so much these days that I’m hearing the same sets with the same tracks over and over again. I find myself having to listen to old mixes to switch it up or just picking one out of the many mixes I’ve downloaded because they all have the same tracks. I’m not complaining really. I think I just am gonna have to try harder to find mixes by different people instead of downloading the usual suspects all the time.

Even though I just prattled on about hearing the same tracks all the time, I do actually think that I only know like 5 tracks on this tracklist so it should be a good listen. 🙂

Is That You Biffy?

With the workload so heavy this week I’ve been coming in to work at 7 am. I know that sounds insane but I’m already up so I just leave the house instead of mucking about and watching tivo. It’s nice to get out at 4 pm too. The only drawback is that I’m going to bed super early cuz I’m so tired by the time it gets dark.

Seminar was really good last night. Sable Gray was dope and we all know how I feel about my buddy Stunna. 😉 I was just so tired though and I could barely keep my eyes open so I left early. I’m pretty sure I’m also just exhausted from the overhaul of exercise I’ve been getting the past couple of days. I got my bike this week and have been riding it to work. It’s a bit of a shock to my lazy ass when the majority of exercise I usually get is the 1 minute walk to the train station from my house! Anyway I’m digging the bike. It’s nice riding all over the city.

I feel like a naughty blogger because I haven’t really been able to tell you all the tracks I’ve been loving lately. This week at work is just hectic so hopefully I’ll be back in full chatterbox form soon.

In the meantime here’s this Chris Inperspective mix. Stunna was telling me how his new stuff is awesome and I just hadn’t really taken the time to listen to any of it, that was until I heard Biffy’s Not Here. Stunna played it before and it totally caught my ear. Sick tune. It’s hauntingly deep. Definitely loving it. There was this mix from the beginning of May that I had actually already downloaded but never listened to and Biffy’s on there so I guess I’ll be raving out to this one while I try to get through my ridiculous pile of work.

Bangers & Mash

KikiLeave a comment

Can we talk about how exciting today is?! Well okay not that exciting, I do love to exaggerate, but exciting enough when you’ve been inquiring about a track to no avail and you finally have a breakthrough. 😉

There’s this Survival tune that I’ve been loving since I heard it on Sabre’s Pyro Radio Mix. It’s the ultimate banger. Sabre said he had forgotten the name of it and then it seemed like other’s kept playing it and wouldn’t say what it was called. Fortunately I now I have the name of it and I can add it to my scroll of tracks that I’m waiting for. It’s called The Right Way and it’s on his Audiotactics page and I obviously didn’t look that hard for the name of the track cuz I’m pretty sure that tune has been up there the whole time. *sigh* Gimme a break, I have a short attention span. I never look for stuff for too long because I space out and forget and start doing something else.

I’m going to Seminar tonight. Sable Gray/Memory Trace is playing.

Sorry this is just a quick post. The work pile doesn’t seem to be letting up yet. Breaksblog hasn’t been posting mixes as often as they usually do. I’ll check out this Wilsh one though.
