Live Band Kiki

Last night’s show was awesome.  I can honestly say that the one of things I miss about Minneapolis is how small the music scene was.  Everyone pretty much knew everyone.  There wasn’t that many of us so we all dabbled in everything and you got to know everyone personally and found ways to coordinate events etc.  I djed in between many an indie band set.  I did mash up gigs with live bands.  You just kinda did whatever.  Here the city is huge and I tend to just mingle with my dnb peeps.  I don’t really know many bands and I don’t even really know any other djs that aren’t really dnb djs.  I’m sure some of it is cuz I definitely don’t go out as much as I did in Minneapolis but at the same time i also know that it would be physically impossible to get to know every dj and every band here in Chicago. 😉  Anyways it was just fun to go see Andy’s band.  The Bottom Lounge was packed and that was actually my first time going to the new location.  Good times.

In other news here’s the awesome video of when the Ironlak USA team was in Chi.  Loves it.

Last night was awesome.  I went to go see Caspa at Smart Bar.  I can’t believe how many times I’ve been to Smart Bar this month.  It’s usually a place I don’t go to too often cuz I hate driving there and I’m not really on the electronic club tip that much these days .  I’ve seen some great shows there the past month though.  Caspa was def. my favourite one.  It’s so lovely when the room is just filled with enthusiastic people who are just as excited about the music as you are.  Last night was really packed.  Whoa-B and Timid had awesome sets.  Caspa murdered it.  The crowd just ate him up.  They knew all his tracks,  freaked out at the right times, danced a ton and even sang back lyrics really loudly?  I know.  I was in awe too.  LOL.  Made for a really great night.  I didn’t even feel like I was in Chicago cuz it seemed like there was, dare I say, a healthy scene that wasn’t just house music.  I had a blast. 🙂

The record organising continues.  Thankfully I can say that I do actually see an end in sight soon.  Yay.

Dooinit

That’s one of my fave Common songs, Dooinit.   I’m feeling way way better. Just doing what I have to do. I had a pretty nice weekend hanging out with Jeremy, Levi and Heath. Holla.

Tunes:
Calibre – Two Drop (track is in player)

Today’s Oldie:
Genoforce – The Germ (Usual Suspects Remix) – Renegade Hardware 1998
Nothing like some noisy oldie bizness to start off the week. 😉

Talk about big show. Marcus Intalex and Doc Scott stopped by Dj Presha’s Samurai Music HQ. Looking forward to listening to this one for sure. There’s no tracklist but it’s 3 hours long which is awesome.

I like adding “tastic” to the end of words.  There’s not real explanation why.  I just like doing it.

I had a really great holiday.  Nice to see the fam.  The ceremony for my stepdad went really well.  Back at work.  Nothing really exciting to report as I have been lounging around eating copious amounts of food for the last 5 days.

Tunes:
ATP – September (M25 Remix)
Track is in the player.  I already liked the original but I totally dig this remix.  I’m definitely on an M25 kick right now.

The Square – Lights In The Night
Sorry no sample.  Heard it on Overfiend’s show recently.  Check out the other stuff in his player.

Today’s Oldie:
Usual Suspects – Killa Bees – Renegade Hardware 1999
Bad tune.  Loves it.  The era of noisy rolling basslines was such a good one. 😉

So I totally jacked up my shit. I slipped and fell in the shower this morning. Am I 80 years old? I think I was just lazily standing under the water. I was taking a shower at 4:30 a.m. so that might have something to do with my cracked-outness. My knee is all jankified and my cheek is bruised. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s black and blue by tomorrow. Great look for bday party photos. Whatever, that shit hurt.

Have you listened to that Hayze Influenza Media Podcast? Awesome. I’ve been listening to it for the past two days.

Spherique – Falling Leaves Russia is seriously on fire these days. I am digging all the producers I’m hearing from there. Love this track. So so pretty! I imagine lying in a forest during Autumn in a hammock. Have you ever asked yourself why I’m always imagining being anywhere but where I really am?? LOL. Track is in the player.

Mutt has an LP out on Inside Recordings. Love it. Really good tracks. I’m especially digging Rumours and Big Lights, Big City. Awesome Style Wars sample in Big Lights, Big City.

Mutt Presents – Treading Water LP

Eveson – Tricks Another Brandy sample. She is dnb sample gold. Nice track.

Today’s Oldie: Usual Suspects – Doorway – Renegade Hardware 1999 Where are the Usual Suspects??? I loved their stuff. This track is such a good set starter. Eerie and organic yet a deep roller. Love it!
