Rest in Peace and Power Dave Trugoy the Dove Plug 2. An absolute tragic loss that I'm still in shock over. Sending love and support to his family and friends, and of course all the other fans like myself who literally grew up on De La Soul and Dave's voice and artistry. De La Soul is not dead however. Everyone should go out and buy and support their music when it starts streaming and becoming available for purchase in early March!

This is a mix I made last Friday evening of some of my favorite De La records and samples, with a focus on Plug 2's mastery of the written and spoken word. All vinyl except for one obscure guest spot that I love which he did with Moka Only awhile back.

Salute to one of the absolute best groups and emcees EVER.

De La Soul Dedication Mix

On 15th Oct 2023, I played a set at the Workinonit MF DOOM tribute at The Hip Hop Chip Shop, Manchester alongside the almighty OMA, who absolutely smashed along with UK MCs, Batfunk & Pique Roscoe. A huge thanks to all the Workinonit crew, Ozzie & the team at The Hip Hop Chip Shop for such an amazing event & for the honour of being asked to perform a DOOM set too!

It’s actually the first time I’ve played out using my own gear which made things much easier too, on trusty Technics 1210s, Pioneer DJMS-7, Serato & Phase, which is always bulletproof & makes things so much easier!  I forgot to record the set on the day, so decided to put out the unabridged version I planned.  On the day, I played about half of this after OMA. The mix is jam packed with all things DOOM from samples, remixes, covers, production & even an unreleased joint with the ever-elusive Mr Fantastic!

"Stepping Stones" is a dedication the the classics. These are the albums we tend to find out in the field, regardless of how dry the creek is. All tracks remixed, arranged, and sewn together by myself.
