10 YEARS ON THE ROAD WITH MOCHILLA

On Thursday, June 2nd, 2011, Peek Gallery in association with Noise Pop proudly presents an exclusive photo gallery IF IT FITS IN THE BACKPACK…10 Years On the Road with MOCHILLA. Between B+ and Coleman, Mochilla’s co-founders, the two have photographed some of music’s biggest icons, including Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Black Eyed Peas, DJ Shadow, MF Doom, Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious, David Axelrod, Mulatu Astatke, J.Dilla, EPMD, Snoop Dogg, Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli), Damian Marley, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Madlib, Jay Electronica, and many others. Outside of their photography work, Mochilla developed into a full service production company, producing 3 groundbreaking music films which include KEEPINTIME, BRASILINTIME, and TIMELESS, all exploring the connection between Jazz/Soul/Funk/Brasilian music and the latter generation of DJs and producers who were so influenced by the previous generation’s music and aesthetic. Recent video projects include Eric Coleman’s video work w/ Jay Electronica in South Africa; B+’s travels w/ Nas & Damian Marley in Jamaica; an interview with the legendary Jose Maria “Curro” Fuentes (producer of some of Colombia’s most important musicians and orchestras on his own Discos Curro imprint); and their combined work on Banksy’s film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop.”

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.2

Hello Blind I. Me again. Before life became ultra busy, I used to write lots of poems. I have books full. To me, these mixes are kind of like musical poems. They’re a glimpse into my head. This edition is full of drums, drums and more DRUMS (Chocolate Star) and SYNTHESIZERS (Dam Funk). Both equally rendezvous-like if you tap your imagination. Round of applause to NO for the artwork. He and $ are amazing at what they do. Enough rambling.

<3 Maiya

NO KNOWS DOPE::APRIL 2009

Whattup Blind I faithful! I truly apologize for not droppin this on the 15th (the day NKD’s are scheduled to drop) but the truth of the matter is that (in the words of my momz) ‘I am burning the candle @ both ends’ by doing ’4 much’ these daze! But ya know what I say… I’ll rest when I’m dead. So with that being said, let’s get to it! I had 5 songs that I had previously selected a month ago for this months edition. The rest was compiled all damn day today. There were songs I had in mind for this comp but needed a lil help in obtaining so with that I say a SPECIAL JEDI THANK YOU TO: J Peepz, Platurn, Pickster,  Dandiggity, G-Wrex & Goldenchyld. G-Wrex & Goldenchyld of The Bangerz were in the lab yesterday & created a blend of Pharrell’s That Girl to Dert’s Venus Morning (featured on his last project Talk Strange) . Peep the track…
