We know you guys have been wondering, “What happened to the compilations on Blind I?” for quite some time, right? Well, no worries! We’re restructuring the site a bit and we plan to roll out some exciting new features in the near future. It’s getting chilly out and rather than spending time outside partying, more of us are bundling up with significant others. I equate fall with romance. Always have and always will. So I figured it was time for another Rendezvous. Enjoy! Let me know what you think. xx. S/O to Noah for the graphics. A beast as always. › Continue reading

MAIYA PRESENTS…SPRING SOUNDS

Dotmatic-It’s Yours

Despite the fact that most of the country is still dressed in boots and coats, spring has arrived. It’s a time for physical, mental and audible rejuvenation.  These songs make me feel like I’m inhaling a breath of fresh air, so I decided to share them with you.  You have no idea how much I enjoy putting these together each month. Blind I faithfuls keep us going. Enjoy.

MAIYA PRESENTS RENDEZVOUS VOL.8

Can you believe the seasons have changed already? This year is moving at the speed of light. I’m particularly proud of the Blind I team for the way we continue to progress as a unit and a movement. We have more for you to look forward to before the year is over. I decided to do a RDV this month because as summer unwinds and the temperature starts to drop, people gravitate toward their special someone. This set is less sexy and a little more romantic than its predecessors. Hope it moves your spirit. And thanks for your support. Shouts to Sulaiman for the artwork. xoxo
