I doubt I’m ever going to come back to Tumblr, but on the off chance anyone who followed me still wants to keep in touch, I’m a VTuber now, mostly streaming 80s/90s video games from a BBC Micro or Commodore Amiga, and also figured I’d give Mastodon a go, if only to support the network as a fuck-you to Elon. https://twitch.tv/lumkitty https://vt.social/@lumkitty I guess I should move my domain name to another platform at some point, though maybe I’ll keep using Tumblr for free web hosting, IDK.

Commissioned some artwork from ASinglePetal (who also drew my new icon).

I need to come up with a logo now :)

Next set: May 22nd @ Confuzzled

Assuming it doesn’t get cancelled due to COVID19, I’ll be doing a 2AM set on the first night of Confuzzled over in Birmingham. Planning on doing some classic happy hardcore, then J-Core and finishing up with a bit of breakcore, so it’ll be a somewhat heavier set than I’ve previously done at conventions which I’m really looking forward to!

Edit: Cancelled because of COVID19, not a huge surprise given how much that exploded since I wrote this post. Stay safe, stay indoors if you can.

T+Pazolite - Rave-O-Lution 456 (2018)

I'm obsessed with this track right now, though I doubt I could get away with it in a set as the speed is a bit ridiculous (228bpm with some sectins doubled). Maybe one day I’ll get to play it?

Vocal sample is from My Dear by Summer was Fun

Lyrics: I need you to stay right there I'm coming right away, my dear Tried this, tried that, tried everything

In other news, I’m still alive. 2019 was a really shit year for RL stuff, lost my day job and a close family member on the same day, which sucked. I’ve gotten through it though, am now in a much better place.

Putting a hardstyle track over this Bollywood movie worked amazing [x]

Tango - Can’t stop the rush (1992)

RIP Tango. Far too soon 😢

Utter legend, oldskool, Jungle & DnB wouldn't be the same without him.

I made a mashup of someone else’s mashup. I love the original, but it uses that Tachyon song too much, so I edited most of them out and then added some additional songs. It’s very silly and I may hve had a fair bit to drink.

S3RL feat Krystal - Whirlwind (2017)

Ok this song and this video are both cute as fuck, and I may have a small crush on Krystal.

Oh, and she’s wearing the Black Milk teal galaxy dress, and I have that dress too!

MC Kinky - Twisting the Mind (1992)

It’s depressing how few rave tracks had women doing ragga vocals, so I’m glad this track exists. (nb. this may be an unauthorised sample of MC Kinky)
