It’s a Wrap Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

And just like that, summer is coming to an end. I feel like it whizzed by! I had fun though. Went to San Diego, just got back from celebrating a friend’s bday in New Orleans. Going to Sun and Bass next month. Can’t complain. 🥰

Been listening to the new Echo Brown EP on TNQ, Galvan Place. So happy Crisp Dollar Thrill is finally out!

Really enjoyed this month’s GLXY episode on Rinse. I know I posted them last time too, but I’m such a huge fan, can’t help it. 😁 Word on the street is they are coming to US. I would be so geeked if they came to LA.

Liquid Lovin’ Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I can’t remember if I said I got a new job or not. Anyway, I no longer teach and it’s quite odd to get back into the environment where summer holiday is not a thing like it is when you are working at a school.

I am enjoying the summer though. Headed to SD this weekend to go hang with some of my faves. I’m looking forward to it!

Working away and listening to this wonderful gift GLXY bestowed upon us. 😍

Sunny Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Summer is a vibe indeed! So many good tunes out right now. Not too much to report. I’m just enjoying the weather, hanging out with friends, and listening to good tunes.

Hope you guys are having a good summer too! Xx

You know all I do is stan TNQ. 😂

I am a huge Satl fan. This whole EP with him and Brandy Haze is soooo good. I can’t lie though, I was hoping “On Site” would be on this EP. I’ve been obsessed with that track for a minute now. I’ll keep waiting for it’s release, but in the meantime the LA Fling EP is 🔥🔥🔥.

Summer Solstice Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

The weather is heating up and it’s finally sunny and gorgeous out.
Happy Summer Solstice! 😍

Currently loving:

One of my favourite Whitney Houston songs is “Heartbreak Hotel” with Faith Evans and Kelly Price. The way Reuben sings the chorus is similar to the cadence of the chorus in “Heartbreak Hotel” and I love it! I really enjoy his tunes. I played Subtle to death too when it came out. 🥰

Summer and Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

I saw some of my friends already posting back to school pics of their kids. Didn’t summer just start? 🤔

I have so much to catch you up on, but alas not enough time.
Let me just get my ducks in a row and then I’ll spill.

Currently vibing to Zero T & DLR. What a great tune!

100m-Dash Kiki

Kiki2 Comments

I’m 45 and still constantly surprised by how fast time flies. You would think I’d be used to it by now.

August starts on Monday. My dad’s birthday is on the 8th. It’s already been a year and 8 months since he passed. I think about him daily. There are still so many annoyances affecting the closure of his estate, which sucks, but I’ve unlocked a new level of processing those feelings with the help of therapy, so that’s good. Having him buried in another country is difficult for me. I would like to be able to visit him whenever I want, so I’m very much looking forward to going to Sierra Leone this December and getting to do that.

This summer has just been busy. Loads of work ish and summer semester of grad school. I’m finishing up my 3rd semester of a 5 semester program. I’m enjoying it. It’s definitely a different experience when it’s your 2nd master’s.

So much good dnb this summer! 🥰🥰🥰 Here’s some tunes I’ve been loving:

Submorphics. He’s not only my friend, but I’m also a massive fan. We’ve been friends for about 18 years now and I still listen to his tunes on the regular.

More North Quarter selections. What can I say, their catalogue is just my vibe. 😊 Love this FD EP.

I’ve also been listening to a lot of Tyrone. I’m late to the Tyrone party. Totally wasn’t familiar with him. His tunes just always show up in my Spotify daily mix. I stan. Good stuff. 😍

Now & Forever Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Summer is just speeding on. I saw Lenzman a couple of weeks ago and it was so so dope. I love being able to go out and see dnb again. I had such a good time.

I was listening to Calibre’s remix of Klute’s Now, Always, Forever on the walk home from the bar, and man, that Calibre era had such a chokehold on me. Such a great remix.

My school moved, so I’ve been busy with that. Still kicking it. Still missing my dad. Still slaving over grad school homework. Still listening to a ridiculous amount of dnb. 😊

Hope you all are well.

I really enjoyed this month’s BankBeats. 🥰

Enjoy!

Summertide Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

And just like that it’s June.

I survived my second semester of grad school. This second go is a little more difficult as I’m working in my career, and the last time I was just working in a bar. I am enjoying it though.

Still dealing with issues from beneficiaries and my father’s estate. It’s been a year and a half since he passed. I really will be happy when it’s over and I can just grieve and memorialize him in peace.

Getting some work done and listening to this Askel & Elere mix.

Summer Session Kiki

KikiLeave a comment

Been in Chicago and Wisconsin for the last 3 weeks. It was a really great trip. Got to spend some quality time with my besties and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a fab 4th and I’m back in LA now. Summer session begins today. No rest for the wicked and all that. 😉

Listening to some tunes and lesson planning. It’s my first time hearing this Cyantific tune. Def a vibe. 😍
