NO — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:39:05 +0000

This Saturday the Live @ The Pagoda concert series continues with After Hours. Jazz musicians have traditionally used “after hours” gigs to push the boundaries of the art form. This year’s collaboration between the Summer Fest and Universal Grammar presents an eclectic mix of Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Electronic and Latin grooves at The Fairmont’s Pagoda Restaurant from late evening until the wee hours.

Teeko (4OneFunk/F.A.M.E.) will be in the house this Saturday rocking live for us all!

Learn Teeko…

T E E K O
After receiving recognition and championship awards in worldwide DJ competitions (including DMC, ITF and Guitar Center Championships), he toured from coast to coast and collaborated with some of jazz’s finest musicians: members of the Charlie Hunter Quartet and John Scofield Trio. Following an energetic performance in a San Francisco jazz club, audience member and legendary saxophonist Ravi Coltrane requested an encore performance. Teeko’s performances are frequently met with such requests as his style is often described as truly original and refreshing, receiving high respects from the best in Hip-Hop, Jazz and everything in between. Teeko exhibits his mastery of turntable production in his debut album, “My SoundStation,” (2006) which exposes his eclectic musical style and creativity as a composer. The widely anticipated album ranked number one on several of the College Music Journal’s Top 10 lists for months after its release in fall 2006. He was recognized soon after the album’s debut for his
excellence in production with the Milestones Innovative Producer’s Award given by the world-renowned Berklee School of Music in Boston. He has most recently displayed his innovation and creativity as a collaborator on the development of the new Vestax turntable, the Controller One—the first turntable engineered to be a musical instrument.

“Teeko is the funkiest most soulful turntabilist I have ever seen… From the cuts to the records he chooses… I had the opportunity to hang & DJ with him in the Bay Area…It was definitely my pleasure.” - DJ Jazzy Jeff

“He’s one of a few people that’s doing what I envisioned what the next step in turntable music would be. A true musician on the turntables as
well as being a dope DJ. YouTube him and see what I’m talking about.” - DJ Shortkut

Here at Blind I we have always been about the music and the cultures that manifest themselves around this evolving art form. Within the last few years Blind I has been steadily building its repertoire beyond the blog from creating our popular music compilations, to sponsoring local concerts, organizing events at major music conferences and so forth. We have achieved so much in a short amount of time (and without any cooperate backing) yet we are always looking to further explore and expand what we can do to better serve the musical populace.

We have been playing around with this one idea for quite some time. After much waiting and planning we would like to present to everyone our newest endeavor, The Blind I Music Boutique. We will be curating musical events showcasing the artists we have grown to love and enjoy on our site, and in real life. Taking the initiative to work closely with these artists we hope to ensure an event that highlights an eclectic array of sounds and talents. Our wish is to further broaden the participant’s scope and taste when the night is through (to basically have a good time).

The first artist to grace our new series will be no other than that Bay Area maestro, Trackademicks. We will be celebrating the recent release of his debut album and book, “State of the Arts” at 330 Rich in beautiful San Francisco with performances by Track’s and the entire HNRL Crew! This party is guaranteed to pop off. With an opening performance from J*Davey’s own Polyester The Saint and an all-star line up of DJs on the decks, live art stimulating your eyes via Mister Bouncer, an early open bar provided by Remy Martin, and food provided by the burrito baron DJ Mr. E (Papalote), we got you covered on all the bases (everything except a date, that’s on you).

Hit the jump for more information plus a chance to WIN TICKETS to the Boutique…

This year marks the 5th anniversary of my No Knows Dope series (HOLY MEGABYTES BATMAN THE FIF’ YEAR!)… blessed! Thank you all for your continuous support of the NKD franchise as well as all the other $tunta$tic original compilations that the rest of the Blind I staff offers. Last years NKD concept was fun being able to do each month dedicated to one of my all time favorite artists or themes. This years method to the NKD madness is simple. Genres & sub-genres (according to me that is) all mixed & glitched by my good friend/brother & DJ W1shOne. This months edition is a sequel to last years No Knows Beats & this one is str8 up exclusive thruout! FIAH! All purpose music right here! 110% skip proof! I want to send some special Jedi respecognition to all my friends (I, Ced & Black Spade of Hawthorne Headhunters, SquareWeezy of The Bangerz, Haz Solo, Max Kane, Teeko, Malaguti & Colin Brown of 4OneFunk/F.A.M.E., Seven Davis Jr., DJ Dskrybe of Trademark, REL of D2S, Hayling, Waajeed and W1shOne & Sol Plus 10 of Sub Ren who came thru for me by blessing me with never before heard or released beats. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as W1sh & I had putting it together. This is only the beginning… 11 more to go! Stay TUNEd.

NO — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:54:48 +0000

Our good brother Max Kane is hard in the lab right now remixing some of his & our favorite artists for his Max Kane Remix Series. Max has been puttin’ it down collectively with his group F.A.M.E. & his crew 4OneFunk for years but this remix series will mark his first true serious solo venture. These are more than just mashing up beats he has with acapellas he has found. He hand picked each acapella & has single handedly crafted a new musical experience around each one. This one in particular is Jesse Boykins III‘s Tabloids & Max’s take on it is a real grown & sexy version for the fellaz to put this on your BUCK mix & ladies… u do the same! Big Ups To Headnodic ( Crown City Rockers )For lacing up the Electric Bass!
