Oh man. I can’t breathe. I just started getting allergies about 2 or 3 years ago. It still feels pretty new to me and I can tell you I don’t like it one bit.
I am so excited for this 3 day weekend. I actually have a lot of activities planned so it should be fun.
I have had “Melanie” (Alix Perez) stuck in my brain for the past 3 days. It has a really pretty melody so I guess it’s not a bad track to have playing on repeat in your head.
Have a nice holiday weekend if you’re on this side of the pond.
Tunes: Ill Logic & Raf – Darkness At Noon LP
I listened to these tracks and even though a lot of people aren’t liking it too much, I dig it. I think the tracks are pretty solid. Why don’t they have a myspace? Why is this album so badly promoted? *shrugs*
Today’s Oldie: Shy FX – Murderation – Ebony Records 2004
I love tracks like this. They just kinda get the crowd going. Nice rollers.
So I figured, 1 year older, why not change the look a bit. I’m not really sure that I like it but it’ll do. I’m too much of a miser to pay for an upgrade to have a better choice of themes so these free ones are all I have. Hwilde informed me that “your template is all girly now!” What can I say, there’s obviously a 4 year old girl trapped inside me somewhere that decided this pink explosion was the next best move. 😉
I’m happy it’s friday. Spinn, the weekend, no work for 2 days… Bliss. I haven’t really been that into this week to be honest.
We all know I’m Bassdrive “all day e’rry day” but I recently discovered Dj Amnesty’s show and I’m hooked. I tune into Bassdrive throughout my workday and I usually have specific shows that I’m locking in for. For a while I didn’t actually know when his show was on. I would come across a replay or just happen to tune in mid show every now and again. Now I’m in the know and I’m a fan. Definitely check him out. Thursdays 7am to 9am CST / 1pm to 3pm UK. I know that’s early for us on this side of the pond but you can also catch the archive on his website www.djamnesty.com. I listened to his set the entire time I was at the gym yesterday and loved it. Big up Bangkok!

I leave for Mexico today. I checked the forecast and it’s pretty much going to be 90 degrees the entire time we’re there. Vacay with my friends, best friend’s wedding, sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine. Nice.
I’m a little anxious about not writing in my blog. I know it’s dumb but I’m very OCD when it comes to things like that. I have consistently written in my blog 5 days a week since I started it in May and I hate looking at the calendar to the right and seeing empty spaces. I prolly shouldn’t be divulging my neurotic tendencies to you but I’ve already established that I’m kinda cuckoo so who cares. Anyways, lounging in the sun automatically trumps writing in my blog so I’m sure I’ll get over it.
Be back in business next Friday so brock out til then peeps!
Today’s Oldie: Shy FX – Bambaata – Ebony Records 1998 1998?? God I’m getting old. I can’t believe this tune is 11 years old. Dope classic. Dancefloor stormer for sure. Doing these oldies every day makes me want to just make old skool mixes all day long. I get all amped up picking out the tunes.
Normally, I anxiously await Friday’s arrival. Not that I’m not happy to see you Friday, I’m just surprised that you showed up so quickly. I can’t believe how fast this week went by.
It’s fucking cold. I know I live in the midwest but still, whenever winter finally makes an appearance it’s a surprise to me.
There’s an mp3 of Gerard’s show feat. Lenzman here if anyone’s interested.
Sinistarr – Recovery (track is in the player) I must say I personally am not usually that into Sinistarr’s stuff, but I am really digging his latest tracks. This one, and the other one I posted the other day, Detroit Diesel, are just fire.
Today’s Oldie: The Terrorist – Chopper (Shy FX Remix) – Dread Recordings 1996 Dancefloor stormers! Holla! There’s no way you can play this track and not have everyone go nuts. Banger indeed. Awesome.
I really don’t have any plans for this weekend. Whenever the cold hits my immediate reaction is to figure out how to stay cozy all day every day. I’ll be working on that for the next couple of days I guess. 😉
I’m starting to feel a bit cooped up. I feel like I haven’t been to a good dnb show in a hot minute. I’m probably just exaggerating but it really does feels like I haven’t been to a really fun show in a long time. We’ll have to fix that.
Today’s Oldie: Shy FX feat. Gunsmoke – Gangsta Kid – S.O.U.R 1993 Oh man. Amazing. The skit in the beginning of this is priceless. I remember listening to this on the regular. This is even before I started mixing. My jungle collection basically consisted of Kool FM tapes and these random jungle CD compilations. This track was on every compilation. It was so representative of the jungle rudebwoy culture and I love that ragga jungle vibe. I can still see all the boys in the club with their gun dance shuffle. Awesome. Shy FX is wicked.
Man I need to get out of this lazy mode I’m in. Boo.
Daniela is taking me out for a bday dinner today night since she couldn’t make it out to the party last week. I’m always excited about hanging out with Daniela and a nice meal is a bonus too.
Hot tracks:
Kjell – The Dynamic Heard this on Methodus’s show last week. The tune is just fire. Watch out for it. I don’t have a sample but definitely check out the other stuff in his player.
Command Strange – Time I like a lot of Command Strange’s tracks. He just keeps pumping them out. Big up Kazakhstan! Again no sample but I really do recommend checking out the other tracks in his player.
Seeing as I forgot to post an oldie yesterday, I will be delighting you with not one, but two blasts from the past today! I know you can barely handle the excitement.
Oldie #1: Alex Reece feat. Deborah Anderson – Feel The Sunshine – Blunted Vinyl 1995 Jazz step, what what!! I can guarantee you that I had many a makeout session to this track. Deborah Anderson’s voice is so sultry. Alex Reece tracks are sick.
This video is awesome. It could just as well be Diddy up there instead of Skibba. LOL. All dnb party jams should have videos in my opinion. To me this track is a total banger and it’s a bonus that it’s really fun to mix too.
There’s a ton of good downloads around at the moment. I can’t believe I’m actually having problems deciding what to post. I guess Seba wins. Seba is dope so he’ll always win.
