BLIND I SAYS GO! MARCH 2010

It’s March already! Truthfully I couldn’t be happier…the outlook on this year is bright, there’s a ton of work being done so the results are sure to be beautiful, and the phrase Blind I Says GO! has never meant so much as it does right now. You wake up one day, decide to start dreaming and just start DOING. I used to sit back with my philosophical thoughts and say like Kanye did in the chorus to Common’s “The Corner” – I wish I could GIVE you this feeling…but alas this platform that we’ve created of outstanding musical compilations has given me a medium by which I can hopefully inspire our listeners to get up and GO! because thinking is overrated! Ha! With all that being said, I’ve compiled what I’ll honestly say is my favorite – if not Top 5 – Blind I Says GO! compilations, and trust, I now have 42 in total to choose from! Everything flows, everything’s masterful, everything should give you the steam you need to power your engine. So F*CK a groundhog, we’re starting Springtime right now. Ready….set….GO!

FRANCIS AND THE LIGHTS AND FOUR TET [LIVE!!!]

& YOU SAY NEW YORK CITY!

Damn I wanna go to this! Mai you better go to this! BLIND I YOU BEST GO TO THIS!!

Coming up this Saturday Mister Saturday Night got a funky, jerky, percussive mix of early Peter Gabriel and Prince in the form of the theatrical and wildly entertaining Francis and the Lights playing upstairs in the main room. Be sure to check out the video link after the jump to see main man Francis in mesmerizing form.

Downstairs they will have a very special DJ performance from the hugely talented Four Tet aka Kieran Hebden, a man whose music and DJ sets
eschews techno, jazz, folk and pretty much everything in between.

BRAINSTORM REMIXES VOL. 1

What’s up Blind I faithful? I wanted to drop a special project on you guys that I’ve been working on for the past couple of days for your enjoyment. I looked up one day at my iTunes and realized that alot of my favorite joints were remixes I’d compiled in my years of digging, so logically I decided to make up a dope mix of some of the iller tracks. Little did I know how many dope remixes there were, so I’ve decided to make this a Volume 1 of however many more to come. This one is pretty eclectic, but all of the tracks go pretty hard. I tried to eliminate any of the typical remixes that I feel everyone probably already has, and focus on the more obscure, banging ass joints that you know we at Blind I like to bring. So without further ado, partake of the greatness and then check the track listing after the jump!
