The Return of Don Cusack

You know I had to post this one...

The homies Donwill (Tanya Morgan) and Kingmost in conjunction with 2DopeBoyz X Rocksmith X Flüd Watches (word to Dougie) just dropped Laura's Tape for free to the masses. Brand new music + reinterpreted classics. Kingmost has been talking about this for months so I'm looking forward to finally checking it out. Direct download below...

Reunión: A Tribute to Dilla

This Thursday, Reunión presents a very special 2hr birthday tribute to the late, great James "J Dilla" Yancey!

With a career spanning over 15 years, acclaimed albums (Slum Village, Jaylib, Ruff Draft, Donuts), production credits for The Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes, Janet Jackson, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Common, De la Soul and countless others...do I really need to run it down?

This is not to be missed! DJ Day will go through the classics, originals, b-sides, remixes and rarities live and direct with a special opening set by Aimlo.

*THIS NIGHT IS F R E E*

Much respect to the Yancey family, Houseshoes, Hexmurda and the D.

Reunión

Tonight begins a new weekly I'll be doing at The Ace (the new spot was just ranked one of the Top 10 Hotel Bars in the World by Details) Expect a mix of everything new and old from funk to folk, house to hip hop, dub/step to disco (you know how I do) etc. There will also be monthly surprise guests. More info soon so stay tuned.

In other news...I just started a remix for Quantic for his latest album, Tradition in Transition which should be out sometime in the 1st quarter. Still working on my album (for real tho!) as well as a few possible side projects I've gotta keep under wraps for now.

I'm trying to get in as many posts as I can during the week. A much deserved and overdue thanks to everyone who's stuck with me since I've started the blog. Your emails and comments are much appreciated.

HEATROCKS FOR HAITI

Soulstrut.com is having a record auction to raise money for the victims of the Haiti quake (over $13,000 so far!) with all proceeds going to charity. If you want to have a chance to cop some raer, or want to put an item up yourself, please go here. I put up a copy of The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby if anyone is interested.

Last but not least...I just found a demo version I made of "Gone Bad" and figured I'd put it up for the hell of it. It's mad short (I don't even remember making it), but it's looped up for Serato heads if you want to play it out. It's bugged to think what kind of direction the song could have gone. I probably should've finished this one, eh?
