Lancashire hotshots Bondax continue to surprise. All I Want is altogether more downtempo than go-to-hit, Just Smile For Me. No less gripping, four and a half minutes of capacious affection that brings to mind Minnie Ripperton in summertime. All I Want by bondax

Flako-Paparazzi Download audio file (Paparazzi.mp3) When I heard about the passing of the legendary Gil Scott-Heron, I decided that it was time for another installment of my old-school Innervisions compilations. I grew up in a musical house with a father who collects records. As a kid and even now, the minute you walk into my parents' house you will be greeted with [...]

4Hero-Naima (Remix) Download audio file (Naima-Remix.mp3) 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 [...]

With the festival of St. Valentine upon us, I've taken a short break from romancing to post up some musical luuuurve. Part one of the love in comes from J-Live, who has been busily slaving away behind the turntables to create his second mix tape in the last few weeks (following on from last month's 2009 wrap up, Do The Knowledge Volume 1 ). In order to help set the mood for sexy times between you and your lady/man friend, J has hand crafted Chocolate Covered Samples, [...]

Happy New Year Blind I Faithful. I feel like it has been a while since I've posted an Innervisions mix. If you're new to this thing, these compilations usually have a smooth vibe with lots of old soul music which is one of my favorite things to play when I unwind. And they took time on these songs back in the day so don't rush through the intros of George Duke and Jimmy Castro. The switch up is worth the wait. Tracks and links after the jump. [...]

This morning on Twitter , I asked people to submit their song to a mixtape to the theme: Songs to beat the Monday blues? Here are 22 songs handpicked to cheer you up on any given Monday. One of the bands picked, Local Natives play The Academy 2, Dublin tomorrow night. WE SHOULD ALL GO. I've a feeling it's going it be amazing. New Order - Blue Monday [ @GavinFeeney & [...]

Checked my inbox and received the following from Baby Yu . It is a perfectly produced mix! Baby Yu is able to seamlessly transition between Big favorites and the originals that the songs were sampled from. No Biggie you say! But what sets this mix apart from the countless "originals" style is the careful effort Yu demonstrates in creating newly sequenced blends that actually sound like brand new Biggie tunes! Take a listen. You won't be disappointed. SNIPPET: Get Money/F*cking You Tonight Download audio file (baby.mp3) [...]

Last year I had the pleasure of briefly working with a friend from Canada, Aisha Shillingford (now known as 'Shalli'…) when she visited New Yok for a short while. We collaborated a tiny bit on a couple of rough tunes and shared our thoughts on the future of both our music and pondered on what we could do together on the audio plane. Read it... Conscious is....

02h23,03H34,04H16 du matin.Une nouvelle fois le jetlag, a eu raison de moi.Voila maintenant presque 3 heures que je me languis amoureusement devant cette strip teaseuse répondant au doux sobriquet de "Coco".Une vraie prétresse du "having fun!" sachant tremousser son cuerpo en rythme digital sur un Remix d'ODB.Ayatolliste, Bushiste et Sarkozyste...Je la sens dominante,elle me fait baisser les yeux la garce!! Elle avait fini par me snober après m avoir gentiment depouillé de mes quelques dollars, yens, baht,et autre livres sterling,d'où le "vous prenez les chèques cadeaux MADAME ? ou peut être faites vous crédit alors??".Narquoise, elle tique en me voyant [...]

I'm like you, I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does. My friend Chris IM'ed me a bit ago and said he was preparing to "do the deed" and he wanted some suggestions of songs that would set the mood. Now, since I'm a virgin (insert roaring laughter here), I can only imagine what songs I would listen to in that magical moment when the lights go down and it's just the two of us (you and me, that is). So, I sat down and went through my playlist noting the [...]
This weekend and next, sQuare productions is providing the ambient music for Art House Boston , a project which brings together 14 artists under one roof (or, in this case, three roofs). Baltimoroder and Daviday are putting in their system, along with CD players and Turntables and two wireless systems, into the three-house project at 73 Spring Park Avenue in Boston's Jamaica Plain area. The developers did a wonderful job on the houses and with 14 artists you're sure to find something you like. Amble around to the ambient sound of sQuare, drink some wine and have [...]
