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…

ANOTHER PART OF MJ: MICHAEL JACKSON REMAKES, REMIXES & RE-EDITS VOL 1 & 2 [REPOST]

In celebration of the birthday of Michael Jackson , I decided to repost this .. don’t sleep!!
Our Peoples over at illvibe are always keeping it fresh. Dj lil’ Dave is really putting it down with the BEST MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE MIX HANDS DOWN…Yeah i said it! I’ve heard a lot of MJ mixes and i like “Another part of MJ: Michael Jackson Remakes, Remixes & Re-Edits ” the most. What’s fresh about it is that instead of playing all the obvious classics we all know and love, he pulled together all the remixes, remakes, re-redits, b-sides, and demos he could find. The result is a mix of hiphop, reggae, house, samba, boogie, and of course some soul.

I was juiced in search of the track listing to find out there was another mix he put out in the anniversary of the Late Great King!
Lil’ Dave presents “Another Part Of MJ Vol.2:

BLACK SPADE – THE DAY WE LANDED [ BEAT TAPE ]

Stop the Presses!
My good energy friend Black Spade hit me up last night with exciting news . He wanted to blessed us with this exclusive beat tape entitled “THE DAY WE LANDED”. An intergalactic, futuristic, space-tastic funk, soul & hip hop groove suite of beats brought to you by some cats that are truly out of this world… The kicker is that it’s free for all the Blind I family! That’s right ya’ll!! Blind I puts out the love and receives the love. He plans on selling the new beat tape on band camp, BUT because he knows the blind I family are true connoisseurs of good music and great supporters. He wanted to give a little back to those that stay in the kNOw. Ya dig… Send the homie Spade good energy for always keeping it fresh.

Oh and dont forget to go get that “Build & Destroy” too… with “Runnin Gunnin” featured on the latest MEEZY LISTENIN’ vol 11.

THE CARLTON – DJ STYLUS

I live in the land of nerds Silicon Valley, CA! I would consider myself a nerd!!. Since NERDS are the new black and the 90s are back, I’m dropping this cool lil gem for the KING OF NERDS. A mix dedicated to CARLTON mixed by Dj STYLUS.

“The Carlton” is an ode to the King of All ’90s Sitcom Nerds, Carlton Banks, and the sounds that he would likely be grooving to if were still around in 2010.

This is a fresh lil mix with a lil bit of everyone from Stevie Wonder to J Davey to Hall & Oats. All the songs have that CARLTON feel to it to definitely get you Bouncing…peep the vid I found to go with it after the jump SUPER CLASSIC.
