DJ EKO – ELECTRO YUM TURBO!

Blind I faithful & good friend DJ EKO or “ekogirl” has blessed us all with a new mix perfect for the weather that is warming up too damn soon (is it just me or does it feel like summer is already here?)! For those unaware, DJ Eko is a staple in our culture. She has had a successful show on KZSC Santa Cruz for over 12 years (in that time, became the stations Hip Hop Director), wrote reviews for Urb Magazine, worked with record label, Nu Gruv Alliance (working with Peanut Butter Wolf, StonesThrow, Quannum, Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, J5 & Zion I) & even had a show on KCSB while she was transplanted in L.A. for a quick minute. Today you can still tune in to KZSC when u are in the bay to peep her wonderful show or catch her rockin the 1′s & 2′s LIVE @ all the various hot spots!

So back to this mix! In her own words, Electro Yum Turbo! is:

“I have something for you to roll in your ride to in the sunshine! Check it out. I told ya’ll I’m all over the place musically. Last one was downtempo and this mix is from the pendulum swinging the absolute opposite direction. ELECTRO YUM: TURBO is bailelectrofreestyledancehallcraziness. 70 minutes of upbeat. 40 tracks of energy. Not for the faint at heart!” -Ekogirl

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!
