I can’t help it. Any time anyone says the word “visage”, I just hear Lauren going “Regardez mon visage ” 🤣
I’m a huge Visages & Monty fan. I really love the way they produce together. That Gen Z phrase fits appropriately for my love for this tune. “I Don’t Want to Go to Heaven has definitely gone platinum in my car.” 😂
I really enjoyed this North Quarter Echobox episode. It was nice to have Greg back and the Mantra mix was 🔥.
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. 🥰

Daylight savings starts tomorrow? You got somewhere to be 2024?

I made it back from Sierra Leone in one piece.
I had a really lovely holiday. All the events I went for were super enjoyable.
My mum’s house is massive and looks fantastic. They really did a great job.
I enjoyed being around my family and am definitely looking forward to going back.
Here’s me, my mum and some aunties in one of the many ashobi I accrued during the trip.
I went to visit my dad. I don’t have the words at the moment to describe how it made me feel. Grief continues to be an emotion I have no clue how to navigate. I seem to unlock a new approach daily that helps me trudge along and make it through the day. I am extremely grateful I got to go.
Jet lag has been a bitch. I thought it would be gone by now.
Listening to Visages and cleaning my room. Been wanting this one for a while. So so good. 🥰
I’m up early. I’m going to SD this weekend for my friend Shannon’s wedding. She is genuinely one of my favourite people ever and I’m happy to get a much needed break to go celebrate with her. But, I’ve got heaps to do, so I can actually enjoy my weekend.
I was writing a lesson plan and the Alix Perez remix of “About You” came on, and I immediately was vibin’. I forgot how good that track is! I got that nose wrinkle going as that bassline kicked in. 🥰
The other day at work they were doing some marketing videos for our socials and they were interviewing all the teachers and asked the question, “What is something your students would probably find surprising about you?” I said without a doubt that I regularly rave to drum and bass at 6am. 😂
January done. School started again. I forgot about how you get long ass holidays when you’re at university. I def enjoyed my month off.
Up late. Thinking about my dad. Listening to some Alix Perez while I do some homework.
Alix Perez has a monthly on Rinse FM. This mix made all my French dnb dreams come true. I’ve listened to it loads already. So many great tunes as well as a guest mix from Monty and Visages?! Inscrivez-moi!
Is it delusional to believe that I actually do my best work under pressure? Who bloody knows? I’ve been living with this delusion for the past 45 years, so, why change now?
Anyway, writing a paper that’s due at 11pm today.
I’ve pretty much just been listing to 1985 Music 5 Years Remix EP and that Confessions EP on Integral on repeat. It’s a great soundtrack to my research paper I tell you. 😉
The North Quarter label night was so fun! It was great to see Greg and the music was amazing! Just good vibes and people dancing. I really enjoyed myself. Me and my old bones stayed out til 4am. I heard so many great new remixes. All round everyone just had wicked sets.
My time is London is coming to an end for now. I’m headed back to LA on Sunday.
Currently trying to get ahead on school work so I don’t have to frantically catch up when I get back.
I had been keeping my eye out for this Monty tune ever since I heard it on that Redeyes and Monty Outlines mix back in June and have pretty much had it on repeat ever since it got released. Really looking forward to his album. 🥰
I love a growly bassline that lets you ramp up your treadmill/elliptical workout. I just zone out, vibe and sweat my troubles away. 🥰
We all know I’m a creature of habit. I listen to pretty much the same dnb peeps on the regular, but I have def enjoyed adding people like Monty and Visages to the rotation.
I’ve been wondering what this tune was for ages. I heard it on an Alix Perez mix last summer and didn’t for the life of me know what it was. I love Visages. This tune is dope. It’s on the Dark Guru EP on 1985 Music. I also really liked the track Egotrip. 😍
I really enjoy living in LA, but as a person who grew up in areas with cold winters and snow, I don’t enjoy 70 degree Christmases. I love bundling up, fires, hot chocolate, trees lightly dusted with white powder, hot apple cider… the whole gamut! For this reason, I love coming back to my mum’s during that time. I get my snow fix in and then head back to sunny LA. 😊
Mood:
Just prepping for my class and vibin’ to Visages. Still loving this one. 🥰🥰🥰
