Happy Halloween!

My friends Ron & Rocko are having a Halloween party and everyone’s dressing up so I guess I will have to also.  Being a British kid there really wasn’t any trick or treating and dressing up going on so adopting this habit so late in life seems so silly but whatever.  I will find the cheapest accessories possible and be dressed up.  No one likes to be the only one not dressed up do they?

I used to have a ridiculous obsession with all types of sweets.  I would eat them constantly instead of real food but now that I’m health conscious and whatever I pretty much don’t indulge in them too much.  The only sweet I really can’t give up is ice cream and even that I have given in and buy the low fat no sugar kind… yep I’m boring.  Today though, in honour of all trick or treaters everywhere I will be stuffing my face with copious amounts of sugar. 😉

Hot Tunes:

Magical Gravity feat. Adam Noid – Singular Joy (track is in the player)  Heard this one on Stunna’s show the other day.

Today’s Oldie:  Marcus Intalex & ST Files – How You Make Me Feel – 31 Records 1999 This track is so lovely.  I still play it quite frequently.  Great vocal.  Lovely flow to the bassline.  One of my Marcus Intalex faves for sure.

I post these Format mixes a lot cuz they are really good to listen to.  Nice track selection and all in all just good dnb.

DnB & Kiki

It’s tuesday. I wish I had something exciting to report but I don’t. I guess since my weekend was busy enough I have to keep the rowdiness at a minimum for now.

Hot tunes:

Dan Marshall – Smoke & Mirrors Remember when I was on that whole Dan Marshall kick? I Still love him, I just haven’t been keeping up on his newer stuff that’s all. Loving this Smoke & Mirrors. Sorry no sample as it’s a dub but as always go check out his other tunes on his site. I believe there’s a Random Movement remix too. Dope.

Komatic – Hidden Light Love this one. We all know I’m a sucker for a pretty melody and pretty voice. I just recently started listening to Komatic’s show on Bassdrive and I must say I’m quite a fan.

As an obsessive dnb lover I’m surprised that I managed to even live my life without Bassdrive up til now. My number one problem with being a dnb fan living in America was I didn’t have enough contact with the music. I never became a dj because I like mixing. I like it enough, I’m just not that obsessed with the turntables. I became a dj because that was the only way for me to hear these tracks I was obsessed with out loud on a ridiculous sound system in the order that I wanted to hear them. Then the whole raver community thing happened and I was like wow this is cool, not only do i get to hear these tracks at a ridiculously loud decibel but I also get to meet others who love this music as much as I do and we can be corny and talk about how much we love tracks. LOL. Obviously this is no different from any other music scene but the drawback is electronic music isn’t on the same mainstream level that other genres are. I always dreamed of being able to listen to drum n bass whenever I felt like it. That’s why I became so adept at finding mixes online. I just wanted to make sure that whenever I wanted to listen to it I would have something new, new to me anyways, to listen to. I always loved going home to London because the second I would step into my dad’s house I would just turn on the radio and voila, tunes galore. I guess I’m lucky that I have an office job where I’m allowed to listen to music because Bassdrive has made me a pretty happy person. I tune in and I hear all the new jams and it’s awesome.

My, I’m awfully chatty today. 😉

Today’s Oldie: Dj Hype feat. Mc Fats – Peace, Love & Unity – True Playaz 1996 Doing these oldies every day brings back so many memories. It sounds so cheesy to say but from the second I heard dnb I felt like I’d found something that made sense to me and lets be honest, when you’re a teenager that’s a total blessing. From jump I’ve always been overly enthusiastic about dnb. I just love it. I was so excited about the True Playaz label. I was obsessed with Dj Hype and obsessed with the whole jump up era and had just discovered Dj Zinc and hearing that they were starting a new label sounded like the coolest thing ever at that time. The basslines killed me. I loved that these tracks had become songs I could identify. This was my first time hearing Mc Fats and I loved him. I guess you could say that this record was definitely a very significant one in my dnb life.

Granted I’m always excited to listen to Stunna mixes but this tracklist looks especially tasty.

The internet was down all day at work.  Thank god I’d saved the draft before it went down.  Everyone was losing their mind.  Try working in an office from 9 to 5 with no internet.  Yeh.  Not fun.  Dunno how people did it before. 🙂

Anyway back to my original post….

Friday.  Yes. ❤

Bass Goes Boom tonight.  Headhunter.  Should be fire.

I’m kinda out of it.  I went to bed really early and then woke up at 1 a.m. because I really can’t sleep more than 4 hours.  Did some laundry, did the dishes, cleaned my room, then went back to sleep from 430 a.m. to 6 a.m.  Which is all fine and dandy but now I’m cracked out.  I really have to figure out how to sort out my sleep pattern.

Friday means what??  Spinn of course.  If you missed it go to his site and get the archive.  Good good ish.

I’m in planning mode.  I’m having a bday party at my house and am trying to get my self sorted.  I want it to be fun but not crazy.  I’m too old for crazy.

Heard this one on Spinn’s show today.  Pretty hot.

Cybass & Peixe Kru feat Melianti – My Girl (Madmen & Poets Remix) It’s track #5 in the player

Also Stunna played this one on wednesday.

Radicall – Early Autumn (It’s not in the player but check out his other stuff)

I swear I said I liked autumn… not fucking winter. It is really cold outside. Dang.

It’s funny when you have these mini moments in your life where you reflect and you’re like, damn I’m an adult. We went out to dinner for Stunna’s bday last night and it was really nice. All I require for my night to be great these days is the company of my lovely friends and a good meal. I can guarantee you that was not the case when I was in my early 20s. LOL.

I’ve been listening a lot to that Paul SG Bios Podcast for the past two days. What a great mix. I know I talk about Paul SG’s production a lot but you should really check it out. Just awesome stuff. Some gems that I’ve picked out from the mix that I love are Touch and Memphis Blues which is a collabo with Caine. Just listen to the mix. You won’t be sorry. 😉

Today’s Oldie: Cause 4 Concern – Skewer 2001 Renegade Hardware There’s something really sad and eerie about this track that just gets me. I love it. I remember I played it a lot. I just think all the elements have great impact once they hit your ears. I feel like it’s one of those tunes that you just kinda stand in the club and wish you were standing as close to the speaker as possible so you can just blissfully nod your head. Renegade Hardware was one of my main go to labels back then.

If’ you’re down to party tonight, Stunna’s having a bday jam at Seminar. Come out and hear him and Grand Marquee and Radiata. Should be fun times. 🙂

I’m having a hard time finding a mix today.  This Hospital Podcast will have to do.

FBI Don’t You Be Watching Me

KikiLeave a comment

I was listening to Ol DB (R.I.P.) – Got Your Money on the way to work this a.m. Classic.

I honestly had the best weekend ever. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on having two days off a week for the past 13 years. It was heavenly. I was so lazy. I actually didn’t even leave my house yesterday. I got a lot done and managed to take numerous naps, eat copious amounts of food and watch a ton of telly. Nice.

Friday was the only night I went out. Bass Goes Boom. 6 Blocc. Yikes! Now that was a party and a half! Chicago’s dubstep scene is fire I tell you. 6 Blocc was sick! I love it that people are into dubstep. I’m used to listening to music that no one else listens to. I’m content to have my dubstep parties by myself while I clean the house but it’s definitely more fun when there’s a packed bar, right? 😉

I remember when I first moved to Chicago and the dnb scene was packed like that. 😦 Oh well, I won’t complain. Some places don’t even have a scene, right?

So I don’t know if I told you that Seminar changed from an all dnb night to a “home of the UK underground” night, so basically when I play there on the 24th I can play a 2step/garage set if I wanted. I love mixing old skool 2step/garage sets. I’ve got really good old records. I’m still deciding, I’ll keep you posted.

I’m excited to listen to this mix.  The tracklist is filled with loads of people I like.

Ants In My Pants

Kiki1 Comment

Knowing that I don’t have to work tomorrow is so exciting.  Finally my much talked about mini holiday is here and I can’t wait.  I’ve been antsy all day cuz the clock is just moving too bloody slowly.

Can we talk for a second about how awesome Tyler Straub is?  He really is quite the musical genius.  Stunna played Waiting For You yesterday.  Love it!  It’s not in the player but you should really listen to his stuff.  So good.  Take a peak. 🙂

Didn’t get to listen to all of DFunk’s show today but I did catch a little bit.  He played a nice Komatic tune that I was digging called Untold Stories.  Nice.

Today actually hasn’t been as boring as it could be.  I’m just anxious for the day to be done.  I’m gonna try and post tomorrow before I head out of town.

My Adidas

Kiki2 Comments

Ugggggh. All of us at the Adidas Originals store hate that Run DMC track now. LOL. We have djs every weekend at the store and all of them think it’s cool to play that track, which it kinda is, but after hearing it every weeknd for numerous years we all hate it. They all seem to do the same beat juggle sequence with it, so the second any of us hear “MY Aaaa,” we immediately groan.

l am happy to report that I officially do not work at Adidas Originals anymore. My last day was saturday and it was quite bittersweet. I actually quit there last year but couldn’t find a job and really didn’t want to go back there full time so my manager was nice enough to let me stay on one day a week so I at least was making some money and still left me open to go on interviews and what not. Once I actually did get a job I didn’t mind the whole working six days a week thing so I just stayed on. I’m glad to officially be done with retail though. It’s a good feeling to know that I won’t ever being running around trying to find sizes of clothes or shoes for anyone again… unless they are my child I guess. Yay.

I would love to tell you that I spent the weekend listening to all those mixes that I told you I had downloaded the other day and that I have a bunch of new fave tracks to tell you about, but that would be a lie as I actually spent the whole weekend listening to the Specific spotlight mix on repeat. Soooo goood.

Been hearing a lot of Apex stuff that I like lately.

Apex – By The Way

I’m really looking forward to my friend Sam’s wedding this weekend. I’ve been itching to get out of town. I just want to go away and hang out and be silly and not worry about anything which is exactly what I plan on doing this weekend. Oh and also I found a dress which is a huge annoying weight off my shoulders. 😉

I totally feel like that kid in school that keeps getting in trouble for spacing out. Im just out of it today and can’t seem to come up with a good post so this will have to do.

Error… Does Not Compute

KikiLeave a comment

I’ve got a lot of stuff going on this week. I feel a bit discombobulated. Sort of like in the old sci-fi films when a computer or a robot would get fried or whatever and it would go all crazy and be like “error, system error, does not compute.” I’m showing my age. 😉

You know how it is when you’ve got stuff lined up and you just have to cross it off your list one by one and the list seems never ending.

One of my really good friends is getting married next week and I’m going to Minneapolis for the wedding but it’s like a labor day getaway as well cuz it’s at a lodge and I’ll be gone for 4 days. Im trying to get my finances sorted for that, as well as buy a dress and wedding gift and coordinate seeing my few friends that I want to see before we head to Duluth and then one of my relatives from England is in town but is staying out way south so I have to squeeze that in to my agenda and work it around my daily schedule. Also there’s my impending last shift at Adidas this saturday. You get the picture. It’s a bit overwhelming when your brain becomes chocablock. *shrugs* I’m sure it’ll sort itself out.

Actually found some good music while not doing my work and looking for records.

Man. I absolutely love this one. Really lovely deep track.

Break – Enigma (Calibre Remix)

Don’t really know much about these dudes but I like this one too.

Human Factor – Deep Love

I haven’t heard a Zed Bias record in ages. I’m sure he’s been doing stuff and I just haven’t paid attention but it’s great to hear some of his stuff again. This track is killer!

Zed Bias – Broken Dreams Remix

Been waiting a while for this one. There’s something about the way it rolls that I just really love. I’m surprised that I like it as much as I do cuz I haven’t really liked any DJSS stuff for years.

Mutated Forms – Blue Magic (DJSS Remix)

Adam F – Circles

Did you know there was a fancy pants video for this? LOL. This was my first time seeing it.

Everytime I’m thinking of a title for my entry I just let my brain go wild. I was thinking about how much techno I listened to this weekend and then I was like “tech tech tech” and it made me think of Circles. Whenever I break down my thoughts like that, I find it easier and easier to admit that I am indeed crazy. 😉

My friend Mike was in town and so I ventured to one of the techno nights to listen to Atomly and Sassmouth. Great music, awesome djs. I actually am quite the techno fan but don’t really have anyone to gimme the lowdown on the new ish like I used to have back in Minneapolis. So basically whenever I get to indulge in some good techno I’m quite content.

I was completely spoiled by Stunna this weekend cuz he gave me some of the tracks I nag him about and some good mixes. I basically spent sunday cleaning my house and listening to my fave tracks and a six hour long bassdrive mix that Stunna had done a couple of weeks back. I’m three hours in, we’ll have to save the rest for when I decide to clean my bedroom. 😉

No new tracks to talk about today because I am feeling awfully lazy, but I am happy to listen to the new BBS Bookings podcast.

Pretty slow day.

Good Times

Kiki1 Comment

I had a really good night last night. As I slowly make a name for myself in the geriatric community, I don’t really need much, just good music and good company. Yesterday I had exactly that. The pic is hopefully how I’m starting to look as I enter my senior citizen stages. Dashing old black lady. Dope.

Submorphics and Stunna came over and we did a little preparty and then headed to Lava. I was surprised by Lava, there were people there actually dancing and they weren’t crazy weirdos, it was just people having fun. Really nice vibe and awesome music. I danced a whole bunch. Both Whoa-B and Stunna really threw down. Stunna played a hot number from good old Will Miles that was just banging. I guess it’s a Talkbox Remix that he did. Don’t really have any other info on but just know it’s a hot one! 😉

Heard some jammers yesterday. No samples. 😦

Dj Clart – City of Men

Paul SG & Pouya – Standing Alone (Paul SG is seriously one of my faves right now. I love all the stuff he’s doing!)

Stunna & Amaning – Landslide (I had actually heard this tune before and meant to write on it but, surprise surprise, I forgot. LOL. I think Stunna and Amanning just make a really good team. Their collabos are always slamming.)

Yesterday Stunna started his Bassdrive show with Commix’s Hung Up. Man, what a great tune. It made me think of this Commix mix from when they were on Fabio’s show last year. It’s a mini mix of some of the tunes they chose not to put on the album and it’s seriously amazing. Just beautiful drum n bass. There’s no tracklist cuz they didn’t even really say the names of the tracks.

I’ve been hearing some Logistics tunes lately that have totally made me fall in love with his music again. When his album Now More Than Ever came out, I was full on obsessed. I loved every track and was so into his production. Winter Blues was my favourite. I had heard an unfinished version that Flight had played on her 1xtra show earlier in the year and totally sought it out quite regularly and it didn’t come out until way way later and I wasn’t even annoyed that it took so long, I was just happy to own it. Also his remix of The Great D&B Swindle was so awesome. Then I started to not be so into his stuff. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good, it was more that i was on a totally different page dnb wise. Now I’m all on it again. There’s something so deep about his production. I feel like I just get it. Does that make sense? I think it’s cool when you’re listening to an artist and you connect with their music cuz you can say to your self, “I know what you’re on about, I get it.”

I was listening to the latest Hospital Podcast and heard one of Logistics new tunes Intervention on there. Hot stuff. I actually enjoyed the podcast this time around. I feel like it’s very hit or miss with me. Sometimes I’m super into it and other times I can’t even get through the first couple of tracks. Blasphemy!!! I know, I know 😉

There’s a wicked Matrix remix of that Redeyes Luv & Haight tune with Deeizm that I said I didn’t like on the podcast. I still don’t really like the vocal but the remix is awesome. Matrix!! I’ve always really liked him. My copy of his Sleepwalk LP is too through! I can only play the first half of my fave track Asylum cuz it’s just too scratched up. Dang.

Like I said though, I thought this installment of the podcast was really good. I’ll post it once I see a link but you can also just go subscribe to it on itunes.

I also am currently loving that Nu:Logic (Nu:Tone & Logistics) Trademark track. (It’s in the player.) I heard it on that awesome Marcus Intalex mix from July and it’s just a banging track.

I don’t have any mixes to rate for you right now. I’m kinda in that zone I’ve talked about before where I just seem to listen to the chunk of mixes that I have right now on repeat. I’m sure I’ll move on to a new group of mixes pretty soon.

I feel like my summer has been a bit boring. I usually am so excited about Chicago summers but I think that this time around it took so long that the enthusiasm died and now it’s almost over. Boo. I do have an exciting fall coming up though so hopefully that will make up for it. I have two weddings to go to which are actually going to be really fun cuz they are two of my really good friends.

Seminar tonight. Stunna!!!!
