Shion - Shizzle01

Another mix I did in the summer of 2004 before I lost interest in the sport. Although some of the tunes on here are getting me back into the idea of it for a laugh. This one is a mix of house and breakbeats which I was into back then also. A lot more electric than the Chicago stuff I usually like. Brings back some fond memories of when me, Siggi and a few others used to mix and enjoy the music. I remember I put this together for the parties Siggi and a few of my other pals were doing at the Telegraph in Brixton around that time. It was cool.

Shion - Jackin 4 Beatz (Back to 2004)

A few people asked me to post this mix I did from back in the dayz. I found it, I miss these old skool Chicago beats. Reminds me of the End club in London and Derrick Carter’s Classic Records parties we used to go to. This mix is from like early 2004. London still had the edge back then before Berlin really took over. Shoreditch was still cool then and the sound was pretty much like this down the end of Kingsland Road and EC1 on the weekends. Makes me want to get back into mixing sometimes.

Oh why did it all become so cliche, I used to love mixing a bit of house music back in the days.

So much for life stats - just got my credit card bumped!

So here I am minding my own as usual. I get a voicemail and its Barclaycard. Its a automated voice message saying that basically some theives have raided my account. This happened to me only a year back and with the whole karma thing I thought I wasn’t due for a while. So they read it out to me. £400 for a flight, £200 for some sneaks (hey guys I have never spent that on trainers don’t even go there)!

Actually I have to say I was really impressed that Barcleycard seemed to have caught them in the act and declined them. Which was pretty cool. With a 16% APR yield so they should I guess.  I mean these guys make crazy money from us so the least they can do is catch the gangsters robbing us blind I guess. Now I am left wondering where and how. I am thinking it is the petrol stations again like my brother in law. It may seem like a cheap allegation but I know many people who have been done at their local petrol station for hundreds on their cards. That is the main place I use the card really and perhaps for the odd retail purchase. Then there is the Internet!!

In fact when I think about it I have had more cash stolen from me via credit cards than via notes. So what does that tell us all about the safety of them compared to traditional cash???

Karma please, you owe me at least 10 years of credit card bliss now.
