Wobble Wobble Wobble

Kiki1 Comment

The tracks that Distance was playing yesterday were pretty insane. Dubstep on a loud sound system is just crazy. I feel like I totally had my bass screwface on the whole time the wobble bass was in effect. It was just sick. 🙂 He didn’t go on til one though and I left at 2. So I enjoyed a good hour of the dubstep attack. I can’t stay out late when I have to be at work in the morning. I cherish the little sleep that I do get.

My boss isn’t here yet and I really don’t have anything to do so I’m kinda just twiddling my thumbs listening to Spinn on Bassdrive.

I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of really good mixes over the past couple of day so I’m kinda looking forward to listening to them this weekend.

Some of the mixes I have been listening to at work have been throwing in old jams which are so great to hear. I wanna do an old skool mix but the organization of my records is pretty crap as I had made the transition from crates to a lovely record shelf and didn’t keep order as I did that. Now that I’m going to have two lovely days off a week, wanting to make this mix might give me the incentive to put some order to my vinyl… I said might. 😉

I can’t believe I’m actually admitting this but I really like that Noisia track – Diplodocus. (track is in the player) Yikes. I generally dislike most Noisa stuff. It’s just not really my cup of tea. Diplodocus makes me wanna rave out though. I feel like it’s a total party tune.

I heard this track this morning but I don’t really have that much info on it. Boo. I just remember it was really pretty and I can’t seem to find any info on the artist. Boo squared.

Dub-L – Calling

I’m gonna try and make the clock move faster with my jedi mind tricks. Have a good weekend.

Bye Bye Summer :(

KikiLeave a comment

The pretense must stop.  2 more weeks and some change and it will be September.  So lame.

Weekend is here.  Holla.

Not much to talk about today.  Having a pretty chill day.  I feel like it’s always easy to start my weekend off right, cuz I just am always happy it’s friday and then I sit and listen to Spinn’s show for 3 hours.  LOL.  Can’t really beat that.

Lovin’ Stereotype – One More Try.

Someone made a comment about me not having samples and I apologize.  A lot of these tracks are new and unreleased and I don’t really have any way of getting a hold of them.  I just figure you can at least get to know the artists who are making these great tracks.

Moving on….

I figured I’d post this Chase & Status Essential Mix.  I’m still pretty amazed on how awesome Take Me Away is and so I reckon it’ll be fitting to pay homage to them for the afternoon.

Have a lovely weekend.

I’ve gotten really emo as far as dnb is concerned. Lately my faves are the moody yet deep tracks like Survival or the pretty yet melancholy tracks that make you wanna lay around your house and think about your life. I was talking to Submorphics the other night and we were talking about one of his tracks, I had said I loved it but he said he didn’t really like it. So I was like “I love it cuz it’s all sulky and gloomy” and he was like “Yeah… frownstep.” LOL. Perfect name for that genre of liquid. Don’t get me wrong, I love the happy go lucky tunes too but I find myself gravitating towards the broody shit as of late.

Friday. I love you. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you exist. I’m grateful for you being you. I worship you. 🙂

Heard a lovely banger on Spinn’s show today. Metrik – Stranger. Woot Woot. (It’s in the player)

I love having the archives of Presha’s shows to post. He doesn’t disappoint. I love that there are all these great radio shows for me to listen to now. It’s nice to have easy access to my dnb. When I first moved to America, I used to have my cousin send me Kool FM tapes in the post. I would anxiously await their arrival and then cherish them so deeply because I knew it would be a while before I got another one. Thank goodness those days are gone. 😉

Party!

KikiLeave a comment

Ugh. I’ve become one of those people that eagerly awaits friday’s arrival. My jobs usually have been restaurants or retail and you actually dread friday’s cuz that means the weekend’s here and we’re going to be horribly busy. Knowing I only have 4 weeks left at adidas makes me excited for fridays cuz pretty soon I’ll have 2 days of freedom. Holla!

I’m actually in a pretty good mood. I’m excited for Jess’s party tonight and for my friends from Minneapolis to get here. The party is gonna be really fun. How can it not be? It’s an event involving my closest friends. It’s kinda hard not to have fun when you’re surrounded by people you’re fond of.

I listened to Spinn’s show again this a.m. I really like his show a lot. I feel like it’s a very friendly dnb environment. It’s nice to know that you can just tune in and hear a friendly voice play music that you like and inform you about the latest dnb artists and what not. I keep gushing about him so much cuz I’m a new listener. I was not really around to listen to Bassdrive shows before cuz I was working retail and the only ones I usually did take time to tune in to were Stunna’s and Pipeline’s cuz they are people I hang it with all the time so I would just tune in automatically. Anyways Spinn is a welcomed addition to my friday schedule.

Donnie (Future Prophet) kindly informed me about the Zyon Base tracks that he played on wednesday which I greatly appreciate and can now stop griping about not finding the ones I like. Tombstone Blues is great. Low bassline with a silky vocal. Nice tune. It’s in his player.

Dan Marshall – Same ‘Ol. Great tune. I have this raggedy post it note that’s sticking out of my notebook telling me to write about this track. That was last month. I definitely am not the most organized person. It’s a real great tune. I dont’ have a sample of it, I don’t even have a mix with it on there so I just listen to the Bassdrive hoping someone will play it. What a saddo I am. Hee hee. Spinn actually played it this morning so I was happy. You can listen to the archive of his show here.

Stunna & Contour – Confusion. Love it! I feel like I’ve become Blaine Edwards and

Antoine Merriweather from In Living Colour!!! Love it! Hate it! LOL. I’m still really into Neverlove. They make a good team… Stunna and Contour I mean. 😉

Stunna played a pretty cool Blake Reary remix yesterday by Advisory (there’s a sample in the player). Atmospheric and pretty indeed.

Man, do I want to leave. Maybe if I actually do some work time will fly by faster.

Have a good weekend

I <3 Weekends

Kiki3 Comments

I’m beginning to dread my weekly saturday shift at Adidas. Five more weeks until I no longer work there. I’m just really looking forward to having 2 days off a week. It’s not cool working six days a week. I’ve worked in the retail and restaurant industry for the past 13 years. In both of those arenas, the weekends are where the money is at so I’ve pretty much worked weekends for the past 13 years. Yikes. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself with two whole days to do as I please. 🙂

I’m kinda enjoying relaxing at work today. My boss is out of town and I’m listening to Spinn on Bassdrive so I guess I have everything I am in current need of for the next 3 hours.  We’ll make this post short and sweet. 😉

Scout’s Honour

My stomach hurts. I ate too many girl scout cookies. 😦

I don’t have anything of great interest to write about today. I’ve been racking my brain to come up with a cool topic and I feel like my mind is pretty empty, which is just crazy cuz there’s always mindless chatter circulating up there.

*shrugs*

I think I’m just tired.

Some good news though. That Survival track I was coveting is out on promo. Woot.

Mixology

Kiki4 Comments

I’ve had a pretty good morning. I had a lot of work to get done and nothing makes work go by faster than having really awesome music to listen to. 🙂 I was tuned in to Spinn’s show on Bassdrive and not only did he have an awesome guest mix from dbAudio but his show was just really enjoyable to listen to.

It’s so corny when you say this out loud but it’s totally true, when you mix for an audience it is your responsibility to take them on a “journey.” You kinda have to know your audience and make sure you stay afloat. When you’re mixing at a club you kinda cater your set to the time you’re playing. Opening a show at 9pm and playing all angry white boy dnb probably isn’t the best thing.

In actuality you can play whatever the fuck you want but I’m just talking from a listener’s point of view. I am always in awe of people that can play for multiple hours like that. Spinn’s show is 3 hours long. Dang. (My friend Jessica says dang all the time and it’s just funny to use that word cuz it’s definitely filed in the nerdy word folder along with yowza) If i’m in the mood I can mix for 3 hours but I couldn’t see myself doing it every week. Props to all the superstars that have perfected that art.

Spinn has been playing so many hot tracks and unfortunately I’ve been running round the office and haven’t been able to jot them down in my ultimate nerd notebook. Go to his website and catch the archive if you wanna hear three hours of goodness.

I managed to write this one down though. Good stuff. Bassface Sascha & Franksen – Promised Land.

I can’t believe I manage to post mixes everyday. Thanks to Breaksblog and DnB Share for assisting me with that task. I try my hardest to post mixes that don’t suck. I actually listen to way more random mixes than I post but I wanna make sure they aren’t crap before I post them so it’s usually a lot easier to go with mixes by the usual suspects than just post some random ish and have you go “what the hell is she doing?” I check tracklists a lot. I’m enough of a dnb fan that most of the time if the tracks are good I can ignore the trainwrecking. But… I’m human like everyone else so I’d rather not hear clangalanging in my ear.

All this is leading up to me posting a mix that I haven’t already listened to. 🙂 I hope it’s good. I’ve got no clue who this dude is but I like the tracklist and all this summer jam talk over the past week has made me wanna hear poolside cocktail anthems.

Going home to see my mum. Have a good weekend.
