I love to slow it down with these mixes. Rendezvous are always my favorite to make and play. But, I gotta deliver the variety to the Blind I Faithful! So here is the third installment of the ElectriCITY series. It’s full of high-energy, electric, up-tempo music that you’re sure to dig. Enjoy. Partake. Indulge. All of the above. Tracks and links after the jump.

MAIYA PRESENTS…THANK MAI NOW VOL.1

4Hero-Naima (Remix)

Whenever people reference Blind I, or the kind of music we post, especially in our monthly compilations, the word “taste” comes up a lot. Individually and collectively we all have a very specific ear and that’s what draws you in to either hate or love it. Sometimes when I put mine together, I try to switch things up a bit to reach and satisfy different tastes, but this month, it’s just me. I catered to what I wanted to hear.  I took my time pairing them together, contemplated and edited accordingly. Sit back, put your feet up and play it loud. (Drake voice) Y-y-y-y-you can thank me now.

MAIYA PRESENTS RENDEZVOUS VOL. 6

There are so many reasons to feel good right now. Blind I has an amazing showcase on the way NEXT WEEK at SXSW (become a fan on FB #shamelessplug). The snow is finally melted and it seems like Spring is about to make its debut. These always get a lot of downloads but there’s something about this volume that I really like. Can’t put my finger on it. Make love. Spread love. Enjoy!

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.2

Hello Blind I. Me again. Before life became ultra busy, I used to write lots of poems. I have books full. To me, these mixes are kind of like musical poems. They’re a glimpse into my head. This edition is full of drums, drums and more DRUMS (Chocolate Star) and SYNTHESIZERS (Dam Funk). Both equally rendezvous-like if you tap your imagination. Round of applause to NO for the artwork. He and $ are amazing at what they do. Enough rambling.

<3 Maiya
