The Stuyvesants participated in our CMJ show last month, and played material from their new double LP, Finer Things . The Blind I staff still has this in heavy rotation, and we're im patiently waiting on the video footage so we can share with you how incredible the evening was! Flwrpt , one half of the Stuyvesants just released a new mix titled Champagne Stain Electro Grooves in Lo-Fi . Doesn't the title [...]
If you're a fan of Brooklyn-based group The Stuyvesants , then chances are you're familiar with Darien Birks a.k.a. Flwrpt . Every now and then he drops these really cool mixes with rare gems and impeccable song choices! Sample Food Vol. 2 kicks off appropriately with the Otis Redding classic "Try A Little Tenderness" which Watch The Throne has recently revived. I happen to enjoy discovering the origins of samples and many of you Blind I Faithfuls are music historians, critics and even producers. So this one is for you. [...]

Not only is it Monday. Ugh! But it's a rainy Monday for most of us. I tweeted my aggravation and @flwrpt of the Stuyvesants presented me with this lively mix to boost the mood a tad. It's definitely worth your listen. His selection is insanity! If I weren't at work, I think I'd be gliding around the dance floor doing a makeshift salsa. Wooo. You can download it here. Enjoy.
When I first took a listen to Brooklyn's Finest by The Stuyvesants, I was reminded by Pete Rock's Petestrumentals album. Not to say they sounded similar, but with both albums you could get lost into just listening to the beats. I was surprised to find out that behind this project was Darien Victor Birks of Flwrpt . I've posted a bunch of his mixes and now he decided to use his beat digging expertise to make music. Collaborating with Algorythm (Skyzoo, Substantial), they formed The Stuyvesants, named after the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood [...]

When it comes to digging, I'm a little jealous of this new generation. It's quite easy to just get on a search engine, type in the desired cut and poof - your sample is revealed. Now I'm not a record snob. There are many samples I get stumped on too and I've found myself getting on the net to answer those quandaries. But there are thousands upon thousands of songs to go through. How then does a padawan graduate to Jedi status in the sample game? My best advice would have to be simply music appreciation. [...]
Words By Jason Hortillas Funk For the Folks is the latest mix by Darien Victor Birks of Flwrpt . If you peeped the Motown 50 mix , you should know what a DVB mix entails. 1. DVB is not a DJ and isn't trying to be one; this is just a compilation of good music. 2. No mash-ups whatsoever will be found here. Just unadulterated classics. 3. If you're not well-versed in old school, [...]
Words By Jason Hortillas There's a clear distinction between a mix and a mixtape. Where the term mixtape is usually reserved for a DJ, a mix is when civilians, such as myself, put together a playlist of selected favorites. Now that we got that in order, I wanted to give a proper example of a "mix." Darien Victor Birks is a pal of mine that runs the website Flwrpt . Blogging on old school classics, he suggests his recent vinyl pickups [...]
