Kiki The Loafer

This week has gone by pretty fast and I’ve done absolutely nothing profound to speak of within the past 4 days. I honestly don’t think I’m to blame though. The weather has been grey, cold, rainy and crap and that doesn’t usually incite people to be productive.

Tunes:
Total Science – Soul PatrolLenzman Remix (track is in  the Total Science player)
I don’t know why it has taken me so long to post this because I’ve liked it for a while.  Good remix.

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Trace + OpticalSpherePrototype Recordings 1998
This record brings back bad memories. I remember I bought it back then and then absent mindedly left my bag of goodies on the bus and the bus company said they didnt find it even though I know they did… What were you going to do with my dnb records sir?? LOL. Anyways I had to buy it again. Sick track.

I actually downloaded this mix from my buddy Doddi’s blog at the beginning of this month and have been listening to it on the regular. Really nice mix and tracks. I guess I just forgot to post it. Enjoy.

It’s NOT Your Birthday…

I moved to Chicago 6 years ago. I was 25 and ready to party. Compared to what my life was like back then, I’m prolly the most boring person ever now. I went to school from 8 to 4. Worked at this restaurant from 5 to 1230 or 1. Partied from 130 til 330. EVERY NIGHT. This is no joke. I barely sleep as it is now but back then I don’t know how I survived cuz I really never slept. This went on for like 3 years. I met Reisha and CC at that time and we partied non stop.

One year on Reisha’s bday we went to Sonotheque. She drank a gazillion drinks and passed out in the bar, like full on sleep on one of the couches style. They kicked her out and were like tell your friend she can’t sleep in here. LOL.

Mine and Reisha’s bdays are exactly two weeks apart. We went to Sonotheque on my bday too (this was when Sonotheque was the shit and I used to go there like every week) and the bouncer looked at Reisha and was like “Remember, it’s NOT your birthday, behave yourself.” It was hilarious.

The reason that I’m telling you this story is because yesterday you would have thought it was my birthday and not Bass By The Pound’s. LOL. I had so much fun. I didn’t even get out of control drunk or anything. I just had a really good time. Everyone was in a good mood. Submorphics had a really great set. Total Science killed it. I danced a bunch. Submorphic’s buddy Sinistarr came in to town for the show and hung out. Stunna joined in the festivities too. Juju fell asleep but then woke up and showed up at Lava and I was happy she came and kicked it. Really good turn out for BBP’s anniversary. It was just an all round good night. It’s nice to drink a bunch, hang out with your friends, listen to good music, have fun and not be hungover the next day. 😉

Tunes:
Human Factor feat. Emma BrammerThis Way
Nice simple tune. I like the basic pretty ones every now and again.

Today’s Oldie:
Dj Zinc Hear No EvilPolydor 2003
Love this one. The Marky & Bungle remix is great too but the original was really good to begin with. I’m a Zinc fan. He has good tracks. I don’t really like a lot of his newer stuff but I do own a lot of his records.

SpinnThe Cycle (Dec 5 ’08 Bassdrive Archive)
No tracklist. Just 3 hours of good tunes. He had a guest mix from Aaron Bond on there too which I was totally digging.

La-di-da

I wish I had exciting things to tell you today but I don’t. LOL.

Going to Seminar tonight. It’s their 11th anniversary. Woot woot. Total Science is playing along with my buddy Submorphics. Should be a good night.

Tunes:
Will Miles 1 Week Later Been hearing this one for a while. It’s out on vinyl now.

Today’s Oldie:
Vinyl SyndicateMan Of StealUrban Takeover 1998
Hmmm. I can’t say I really cared for the whole Superman theme to this tune but I did kinda like the bassline. In my rave days, any rowdy bassline warranted me dancing in front of a speaker. I really wasn’t too picky. LOL. Remember when there were all these weird novelty jungle tracks that had theme songs from tv shows and shit? I’m happy that era never made a come back. I don’t actually own this record but for some reason today I was thinking about a rave I went to where everyone was going gaga over this tune and figured it wouldn’t hurt to post it as my oldie. 🙂

Cabin Pressure

Dang.  I was desperately in need of a vacay, if you couldn’t already tell by my endless posts. 🙂  I’m back at work and I feel so relaxed and refreshed.  I’m not wound up and crabby which is how I feel I’ve been for the past month.  The wedding was at this lovely cabin resort in Two Harbors, MN.  Lake Superior never looked so beautiful, lovely sunny weather, partying pretty much all day and good company.  Probably one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to.  Honestly though, when all your best friends are there how can you not have fun???

Back in the real world.  I’m mixing at Lava September 24.  I’ve definitely been slacking on the record buying.  I guess this is one of those times where if I was better at Serato, I wouldn’t have to worry about having new records and could just get mp3s and what not.

I downloaded a ton of mixes to listen to en route to the cabin and at the airport but actually never got around to them cuz I was too busy being one with nature or partying or sleeping.

I actually kinda like this London Elektricity LP.  Some nice tracks on there.  I especially like Maybe I Was Wrong.

London Elektricity – Syncopated City LP

It’s supposed to be 92 degrees today.  Yikes.
