Sweet 16 Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

DnB and Kiki is 16!

16 years of the blog, 31 years of being a jungle/dnb fan. Big milestones here. 🥰

I loved this month’s Bankbeats. Bank threw back to some of my favourite oldies. I listen to his show every month. I think he does a great job of showcasing both new and old dnb and it’s just an overall great listen while I go about my day. 💕

Guess Who?

Hi! I’m alive. I graduated! 🥳🥳🥳
It was definitely touch and go there for a minute. That last month was brutal, but I’m officially a member of the 2 masters club.

I missed my blog anniversary.

I was having a conversation with my students the other day about how weird it is to have a digital log of your life for extended periods of time. I started blogging in 2001. My first blog makes me cringe! I wrote in it every day and it was verbal diarrhea of an early 20s raver who was obsessed with jungle and couldn’t shut up. It’s still floating around in the internet ether. 😂 I am going to delete it, I am just downloading each entry first and making a mini book.

As cringy as it is, it’s still kinda cool to have my musings from back then. That’s why I don’t delete this one. In 2008, I was over my nonstop blabbing in my first blog, so I decided to start a new one. I vowed to only speak about dnb and keep the oversharing word vomit to a minimum. No more page long entries. Just a few sentences here and there and some good tunes. I have pretty much stuck to that. After my dad passed, I wanted to discuss grief and allowed myself to write a few longer posts.

For years, each blog anniversary arrived and I contemplated deleting. And then some lovely soul sends me a nice message about how much they appreciate my blog. 🥰🥰🥰

Anyway, I’m still here. I still listening to loads of dnb and I’m still rubbish at posting.

Current playlist:
I love listening to Sam Bank’s Bankbeats. He never disappoints. It’s always a great showcase of old and new. 💕

Now & Forever Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Summer is just speeding on. I saw Lenzman a couple of weeks ago and it was so so dope. I love being able to go out and see dnb again. I had such a good time.

I was listening to Calibre’s remix of Klute’s Now, Always, Forever on the walk home from the bar, and man, that Calibre era had such a chokehold on me. Such a great remix.

My school moved, so I’ve been busy with that. Still kicking it. Still missing my dad. Still slaving over grad school homework. Still listening to a ridiculous amount of dnb. 😊

Hope you all are well.

I really enjoyed this month’s BankBeats. 🥰

Enjoy!
