SONNYMOON SIGNS WITH PLUG RESEARCH

NO — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:38:49 +0000

Congratulations to our good friends Dane & Anna, better known as Sonnymoon, for signing to one of todays leading labels in future sound; Plug Research! Plug Research is home to artists such as Bilal, Exile, Flying Lotus, Om’Mas Keith & Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra Creative Partners & Quadron just to name a few. Since late 2009, it has been a roller coaster ride for them as they have made a noise louder than bombs with their free debut album they asked us to drop on Christmas, to performing @ SXSW, to getting remixed by Melo-X, to J*Davey twitting their appreciation for witnessing the “whiter & trippier version” of them, to now signing with a label that pushes the envelope on creativity and delivers each artists vision with quality. We here @ Blind I are proud of our folks! Congrats & Jedi Respecognition & LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

Peep their latest song entitled “Blast Off” which can be found on the Potholes In My Blog summer sampler.

SHAFIQ | GARTH TRINIDAD

NO — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:11:52 +0000

Last Wed I had the pleasure of catching the brilliant Shafiq Husayn along side his 2/3 SA-RA member Om’Mas Keith @ The Lounge & all I can say was it was like hearing a soundtrack to my moods. Shafiq seems to always bring a certain mood to each track he either spins or creates. You should really get his album if you havnt already. Music aficionado Garth Trinidad mixes the brilliance of Mr.Husayn lovely in this podcast brought to you by the good folks over @ Plug research.

SHAFIQ HUSAYN | OM’MAS KEITH | SA-RA | LIVE [SJ]

NO — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:05:50 +0000

You know one of Blind I’s faves are the ever so brilliant and boundary pushing Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Two thirds of the crew Om’Mas Keith & Shafiq Husayn, who is droppin’ his solo schitt on the 6th and NOT to be slept on, will be in the house like an appliance droppin that next level science! Ungrammar does it again by bringing out only the illest to the bay. Your presence is required if you live on that other side of the musical fence where the soundtrack TO THAT side of the fence is Shafiq & Om’Mas.

SHAFIQ HUSAYN-EN’ A-FREE KAH

Maiya — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:45:10 +0000

It takes a certain kind of ear to really appreciate the kind of music Sa-Ra creates. It’s a neo-psychedelic mash-up, often paired with very smooth vocals from singers like Noni Limar. I was delighted to get my hands on Shafiq Husayn’s En’ A-Free Kah teaser. Sa-Ra fans will appreciate the familiarity, but he tweaks it to reflect his own style. I enjoy this more from the middle to the end of the sampler. Peep for yourself. Album drops in Oct.
