Restless Kiki

I wish I lived in the pic.  It just seems like it would be a really peaceful existence.  Daydreaming at work at 9 am… what a cliche?  Whatever, the best part about  3 day weekends is the week goes by fast, right? 😉

Tunes:
The Square & Eros – Inside Feelings (track is in both their players)
This track was on that Stunna mix I posted yesterday.  I’m digging The Square and Eros vibe.  I pretty much like all their tracks.

Nationwide Kiki

I’ve got 2 back to back trips lined up in the next 2 weeks and I’m super excited about them.  The first one, I’m going to California with my mum for my cousin’s graduation.  My aunt lives in Oxnard but I’m going early and stopping in L.A. to go kick it with some buddies for a bit and then go meet up with the fam.  Friends and family?  You know that’s my great combo.  The following week is my best friend’s wedding reception in Minneapolis.  Talk about extended wedding right?  His wife keeps joking that everyone is going to be so sick of their nuptials by the time the reception rolls around.  I’m just glad I get to go hang out with my besties again.  So basically June is looking pretty awesome and lets face it, any time you don’t have to work for an extended period of time but are still getting paid is pretty dope.

No real back story.  I just like this one.  To be honest it sounds better in the mix than by itself.  You can play with it alot, ride it out.

Scorpion Kiki

Submorphics is trekking across the pond  for the next six months so we’re having a little Chitown dnb posse going away dinner at the hot spot Wing Hoe.  I’m excited cuz I’m totally in a Wing Hoe mood and will definitely indulge in a signature scorpion drink.  Yum.

Lots of dnb goodness today in the Chi.  Sinistarr and Submorphics will be joining Stunna in the Greenroom for his Bassdrive show which will definitely be dope and the new dnb monthly Shakedown starts at Lava today so if you’re around you should tune in and stop by.

Scatterbrain Kiki

Kiki Has A Dream

It’s not really a secret if you know me pretty well but I do happen to have a mini obsession with r&b…  okay let’s be real, none of my obsessions are mini LOL.  I actually listen to a lot of it.  It’s my go to music if I’m not listening to electronic music, which isn’t that often, but I still keep track of most of the songs.  I am not ashamed to admit that I’ll totally listen to a bunch of bad r&b.  What can I say?  I’m a sucka for anything that’s slightly melodic.  I know I’m way more lenient if the vocal or the beat is good in r&b but I’m pretty harsh when it comes to dnb as it’s the music I listen to a majority of the time.

Anyways the tune I’m digging right now is The Dream’sRocking That Thang.  Love it.  I actually I’m not too obsessed with the vocal but I do like the beat a lot.  I feel like it’s begging for a dnb remix.  I can already hear it in my head.  I’ve got a little repeat action going with it right now.

I think I live in my own music world so much that I’ve got no clue if something is bad or good anymore and I also just don’t care as I’m not really forcing people to listen to what I’m listening to.  I’m pretty aware of the fact that most people think I listen to horrid music but as long as I like it that’s all that matters right?  🙂  I’m digging the video too.  Sexy.

Tunes:
Stanza & Grimm – By My Side (track is in the Grimm player)

You kinda can’t beat a duo like Digital and Spirit.  Sick tune.  I think Stunna was the one that played it yesterday.  So many djs played last night I couldnt really keep track to be honest but I definitely was loving that everyone was feeling the old skool vibe.

Wild Out Wednesday

Well not really, I definitely wouldn’t classify myself as a person who “wilds out.” I’ve just always thought that phrase was funny. The hosts on 106th & Park always sound so amped when they talk about it “What up, what up what up, it’s WILD OUT WEDNESDAY!!!”

I will however be “wildin’ out” to Mutt today though. I feel like my whole day will be Mutt related. LOL. First, he’s playing Bassdrive from 2pm to 5pm cst for a special Greenroom session with Stunna, and Sinistarr so definitely tune in. Then he’s also playing at Seminar tonight.

This wasn’t one of my fave J Majik tracks but I do remember people going nuts on the dancefloor so I figured it would work for today.

Might as well keep up the Greenroom momentum and post an old Stunna & Pipeline sesh from 2007.

Enjoy.

Where Oh Where Has My Record Gone?

I have a lot of dnb records.  I’ve been buying them since 1994.  Needless to say sometimes if I can’t find a record it just stays missing for a long period of time.  LOL.  It’s even worse now because I don’t have my whole collection at my apartment, some is at my mum’s etc.  Everything from about 1999 onwards is pretty much at my place though.

I remember a couple of years ago I lost my MartynNxt 2 U.  I went through all my records and it was just missing.  When I used to play out a lot, I could at least entertain the notion that I might have lost it at a gig but I don’t really play out anymore so if I lose a record it HAS to be in my place!!  I remember Stunna helped me look and we just didn’t see it.  All the other Martyn records were there but no Nxt 2 U.  I found it a year later.  Just sitting on the shelf, peacefully, untouched and dust bunnied.

Why am I telling you this story?  Today’s oldie is a Bad Company record that I’ve been thinking about buying again because I was convinced it was lost.  It was one of my favourites on this one Virus double pack.  I seriously have been looking for that record since I moved to Chicago back in ’02.  I was convinced that I had lost it in the move from Minneapolis.  When I was at Gramaphone on Saturday I saw a used copy and almost bought it but decided I’d have one more look through my shit.  I went to go mix at Reisha’s yesterday and went through all my Virus stuff and the record was just there, just hanging out.  Where do they hide??? 🙂

Negative Kiki

So yeah I promised not to talk about the snow but I am going to talk about the fact that it’s -7 degrees right now and the high today is -1… um what? You walk outside and you’re like “Oh it’s not that cold,” but then when you have to stand still you’re like “Oh shit.” LOL. This will have to be one of those weekends where I stay in and watch telly for sure.

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Die Special TreatV Recordings 1997
Me and Stunna and Submorphics were talking about Dj Die last night so I decided to do another oldie by him. Dj Die’s back catalogue is ridiculous. I could just keep picking oldies by him and be content. So many awesome tracks. Funnily enough, I’m actually not that crazy about Special Treat but I do remember how huge it was. A lot of people have been throwing it in their sets lately. It’s a nice nostalgic revival. I don’t hate it, it’s just not really wanna of my faves but a classic oldie nonetheless. 🙂
