I’m here. Been busy with work. Not a valid excuse for not posting, but alas, what can I say?
Listening to some SirReal. Always love his mixes. 🥰

Just got back from a week in Vegas for a work conference. Great conference, Vegas… meh.
I’ve never been before and everyone kept being like “That’s crazy that you’ve never been!” I don’t think it’s that crazy. I already knew it wasn’t my vibe. Everything that people do for fun there is so not my ministry as they say. No shade to anyone whose ministry it is. It’s just crazy expensive and the majority of activities are not what interests me, so I wouldn’t pay money to go there.
Also, I can’t believe we ever used to be able to smoke indoors. We stayed at the MGM Grand and it just smelled like stale smoke when there wasn’t actually smoke just wafting through the air.
Conference 10/10. Vegas 5/10. I ate at some amazing restaurants, that’s where the 5 points come from. 😂 The food was awesome. Looooved Nomad Library Restaurant.
I got back on Friday at like 10pm and scurried to go see GLXY at System Error. I didn’t stay for Halogenix. I am a Halogenix fan, but I’ve seen him heaps before and was knackered. I’m happy I went. Smashing set. So many good tunes. Fun times were had.
Back and just doing some life maintenance and listening to tunes. I think it was on The Amen Brother! podcast the other day someone brought up Bassbin Recordings, which immediately made me think of one of my fave Random Movement tunes “Stars in the Dark”. Love me some Random Movement.

Got to hang out with Stunna and Calculon yesterday. Stunna was in town to play Respect. It was so nice to hang with some of my o.g. dnb people.
My dnb crew in LA consists of me, me, and me. If I do go to shows, I just go by myself. It was nice when Pipleline still lived here, cuz he was always down to venture out.
I don’t mind too much. I’m okay with my own company. I like mixing at home by myself and living in my own dnb world. But, I do also love the opportunity to just hang with others and chat about tunes I love or just sit around and listen to tracks. I miss my peoples big time whenever I’m in the mood to do just that.
Hey, I know I am at fault in this scenario. I don’t get that excited about going out and making new friends. I like my dnb people. I have 20+ years of history with my Minneapolis and Chicago crews. I’m an old lady raver. I don’t have the energy to put in the effort I used to at 20.
That being said, I did see Amy out. We were both at Locus in Tulum. She’s quite lovely, has nice friends and also lives in my neighbourhood. We’re supposed to hang. 🥰
Listening to some SirReal. I love me some SirReal. His mixes were the soundtrack to so much of my noughties. Always good vibes.

March just flew by! I’m happy to get a little reprieve these next couple of weeks. I’m on spring break from grad school and my evening school this week and will be on break from teaching at the community college next week. Gonna go hang with my homie Shannon in San Diego for a couple of days and just kick it.
This month has had me a bit all over the place mentally. Loads to sort out with my dad’s estate… still. Grief is such a strange process. I don’t remember thinking about him this much when he was alive. It’s been a year and some change, and even though I have learned to deal with the sadness a little better, I still think about him all day, every day. I wonder what the next stage of the grieving process will bring and when it will arrive. 😔
Anyway, I’m so happy I came across SirReal again. I used to listen to his mixes all the time. He always comes with the great track selection and beautiful blends. My students at the community college have exams today, so I’m just listening to his 2021 year end mix and finishing up writing the test.
Nothing like a good SirReal mix to keep you going when you procrastinate and have to wake up early to finish a Google Slide for your workshop tomorrow… Why am I like this? 🙃

My best friend and his crew used to do this graffiti magazine called Life Sucks Die. They would have this section called “Things You Might Have Slept On” and they would tell you about a plethora of ridiculous things that you never noticed before and they felt you needed to pay attention to.
I was listening to this all Steo mix by SirReal and the Alix Perez remix of Zero T’s “Refusal” came on and I was like “This is dope!” I looked it up and saw that it came out last summer. No surprise there. I’m so out of the loop that I’m sure there’s a bajillion tracks that I probably won’t hear until I come across them in a mix like a decade from now. LOL.
Anyways, it’s a nice remix. The SirReal mix is dope too. I’m a big Steo fan and appreciate hearing someone mix all of his features instead of me having to make an Itunes playlist. 😛
Phil Tangent – Bedouin Soul Zero T – Walk Away Calibre – Wilderness Lenzman – Empty Promise A.I – You Can Dream A.I – Forgotten Truths Zero T – Refusal (Alix Perez Remix) Lenzman – My Tears Zero T & Icicle – Go 4 Yours Beta 2 – 2nd Page A.I – Let it Be A.I – What You Had Zero T – The Sea Zero T & Survival – No More Zero T & Mosus – Call Waiting
I am always happy when a new SirReal mix pops up. I know I’ll love it. I’ve been digging his mixes for years now. I’ve already listened to it twice. Good stuff. ❤

School started once again. This is my last year. May will be here before you know it and I will have my masters! Woot woot. I’m excited for the next chapter of my life to begin.
There’s a lot of things going on with me these days but I actually don’t really feel like writing about it. All good things so don’t worry. Today I just got the urge to find the time to post some tunes I’ve been hearing and liked so let’s get on with it. 🙂
Tunes: Calyx & Teebee – Elevate This Sound – Ram Records I heard this and was speechless whenDanny LOtold me it was a Ram record. I honestly can’t tell you the last time I bought anything on Ram. It’s definitely been a minute. Quality tune. I just picked it up the other day.
Today’s Oldie: Chase & Status – Take Me Away – Ram Records 2008 I was curious when the last time was that I had actually bought something on Ram so I looked up their discography and voila it was this Chase and Status tune. LOL. A tune I was ridiculously obsessed with. I remember sitting at my law office job tuned in toBassdrivefor hours on end and being mighty pleased every time I would hear it played.
I don’t have access to be my chicken scratch memo pad notes on what tracks I want to share cuz I’m in the computer lab at school but I did remember those two tracks for now and since I haven’t written in a bajillion years I figured this post would be a good start. I think that I might have more time to post this semester because I’m relieving myself of the burden of having to post long entries. I always feel guilty that I go so long without posting and always want to post really long posts to make up for it. I’m going to make an attempt to be satisfied with just posting a track here and there or a mix whenever I get a free mo so hopefully that will get me in the habit of posting more. We’ll see. I promise you I really will try though!
I love SirReal mixes. They are really good workout mixes to zone out to on the treadmill.
