My interview for The Stranger’s “Spun Out” column
Seattle’s notorious tastemaker Dave Segal invited me to grace The Stranger’s content carnivale once more, this time for SLOG‘s ongoing Spun Out column. It was hard to narrow it down to 5, but I also got to wax poetic a bit about how I approach my role as a DJ… and any frequent reader of my blog will know how I love my soapbox 🙂
Nastina on The Vortex c89.5 FM February 2018
I wasn’t all that stoked on this month’s 2-hour set on The Vortex. In my mind it wasn’t terrible, but there were a lot of places where the mixes didn’t go as I wanted and I was having a hard time getting “into” it. I need new music, really. It’s hard to play well when you’re tired of all your tunes. I also forget that while I may be tired of […]

Throwback Thursdays circa 1999: The Very First Mix I Ever Recorded
This weekend I found a box of old minidiscs in a drawer and at that very moment remembered that I actually still have a minidisc recorder. So I took the whole shebang and DIGITIZED THAT ISH! I’ll be posting a couple of them, so here’s the first (har har) aptly named “Alpha.” I also took the liberty of cleaning up the audio a bit: smoothed out recording glitches, dynamically leveled […]
Nastina mix: Archive for The Vortex c89.5 September 2017
This month’s 2-hour power shower! I threw back to some ooooooooold tunes that no one will recognize for my own pleasure. And now it’s yours (I hope). Also added to the pop-out player below <3 ROWYCO! https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/kristinachilds/music/mixes/Nastina-on-The-Vortex-September-2017.m4a
2 New Nastina Mixes = 3 hours of Nastiness
It’s been a while, but Nastina had 3 freshie hours of breaks, bass, bassline, trap and drungle’n’bass go out over the KNHC Seattle airwaves. Now with 100% more scratching! It only took me 19 years to start learning, but after 6 months of flailing it’s starting to sound on point. The August mix has a few scratch sections that sound like I actually know what I’m doing. I don’t… but […]
Sneaky Bryce secretly live streamed me mixing at home
We were just chillin’ at home the other night, playing records and relaxing. I got into a serious top 40/hip hop groove, trying out some scratches (I’ve finally started learning) and I guess Bryce thought it was good because he started live streaming the block to Facebook without telling me. I thought he was just really slow at taking a still image for a while, then I realized he was […]

Set from Studio 4/4 @ Q Nightclub w/George FitzGerald
I had a feeling this set was going to be a magical one. Since my Olympus field recorder walked away from my house, I hoped beyond hope that the boys at Q were set up to record. They weren’t. And it was magical. Dammit. I couldn’t let the ever-so-cute standing ovation from George be in vain, so I plugged in my Allen & Heath and set out to recreate the mix as […]
Set on The Vortex c89.5 Aug 27 2016
(also playable using the pop-out player on the bottom of this window) So it turns out I will be a regular contributor on The Vortex. I’ve been invited to come on the show once a month for a one-hour live mix. The slot will vary based on schedule, but most of them will be last Saturdays from 11-midnight. Killer slot! This is archive from the first of many mixes to come out […]
