Shakedown Kiki

CC has left the building, I repeat, CC has left the building.  Man, it was really awesome to have her here.  I definitely had a fun filled jam packed crazy 5 days.  Now back to my regular, boring, serious life where I have no job and have to get one ASAP.  Boo.

Shakedown is tonight with Tyler Straub.  Can you say woot?  Beatchemist is in town and Dave Owen is supposed to be coming too.  Can you say woot squared?  I have been missing in action from my drum and bass posse for almost a month.  I feel this is the perfect opportunity to make my comeback.  Woot cubed???  Ok…. definitely taking it too far.  😉

I’ve been listening to so much dnb so I’m excited to just go out and hear some good music.  Chi peoples, make your way to Lava this evening.  You won’t be disappointed.  Stunna and Lamebrane are playing too so your attendance is a must!

Might as well continued the Shakedown mania.  Here’s Shakedown Mix #5.   I feel like I just wrote an extended radio ad for Shakedown.  Hee hee.  The kind that just goes on and on and on or better yet one of those One Nation ads you hear at the beginning of some mixes where Skibba does a bunch of rhyming and sneaks in a “woo ooo ha ha ha” and it rhymes with a string of sentences that were said at warp speed…  Hmmm you get the pic.  I’m just a wee bit too chatty this a.m., so lemme shut my trap now.

Thou Shalt Stop Procrastinating… Soon

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.

Flirt With Dirt – Regroove Nice chill tune. Love the rolling bassline. (tune is in 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.

Oldie #2: Shy FX, T. Power & Skibba feat Di. – Don’t Wanna Know – Ebony Records 2002

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.

Sappy McSapperson

I’ve been listening to that Blame on Charge Recordings that I posted about recently, Stay Forever. I feel like it’s a good way to start your morning.

Speaking of Charge, can we talk about how much I used to love “Feel Good?” Those were the good old days. I don’t really listen to much of Mampi’s stuff anymore though. You’ll have to get me to tell you the story one time of driving back from a crazy outdoor rave with him and R Notorious J and Skibba with Mampi driving my roomates car… Priceless.

Anyways, moving on. I was thinking about how most pretty vocal dnb tracks have super sappy lyrics. High Contrast’s – Eternal Optimist is one of my personal faves. I think that song is so pretty. I think the girly pretty nature of most liquid funk tracks is why some people tend to hate on it so much. *shrugs*

If you were to look at my music history, the back catalogue definitely shows that I would invest in sappy dnb songs in the future. I used to listen to a lot of sappy R&B songs. I probably still would if I actually listened to the radio or watched videos but since dnb and dubstep take up most of my time I don’t know any new mainstream R&B artists. Word on the street is that they’re rubbish anyways. Bummer.

I remember being twelve and getting ready to move to America and having to leave this boy who i had just started making out with. Of course being twelve, I was convinced my life was over since I didn’t want to move to America in the first place. I listened to Karyn White’s Superwoman over and over and over (see this caning tracks to death thing isn’t new to me) to assuage my discontent with the move. Pretty dnb does the same thing for me now. Not necessarily in assuaging making out with boys but appeasing my occasional discontent with life in general. 😉

Stunna’s my main man when it comes to pretty dnb mixes. He switches it up every now and again but I’ve got a ton of old mixes to keep me happy. For those of you that live in Chicago he’ll being playing with Pipeline at Seminar tonight so you should stop by.

Here’s a little old jam loveliness to keep you busy.

Laters.
