What I taste like

September 2009, I stumbled on to this sample while digging through records on the weekend that Mr magic died and when I heard her say "We've lost so many good men", I automatically thought of Roc Raida, Dj AM &amp; Mr Magic. I immediately started chopping the sample in my mpc 2500 and sequenced it in Logic. I made the beat and then spent about 2 weeks finding the right phrases and adding the scratches to make this just right. It really was just my way of dealing with the frustration of losing these Pioneers. The beat was recorded In Logic and the scratches in Ableton Live. Rest In Peace to the all the late greats, Roc Raida, Dj AM, Mr Magic and Jam Master Jay.

From 03.07.23 "This one is for De La. This is tough. I've been streaming De La Soul's music all weekend (if you haven't been, PLEASE run up their discography's numbers on any and EVERY DSP you use), and to me, their music can be summed up in one word: sunshine. Maybe it's because it was a gorgeous spring day years ago when I ripped open the plastic wrap on my "Stakes is High" CD only to blast it on repeat in my car for hours....or maybe it's because I was obsessed with their track "Can't Call It" in the summer of 2014....but whatever the reason, their music means so much to me - "Dinninit" was on one of the first mixes I made almost 15 years ago (sheesh) that I had the confidence to share publicly (aka burning to CD/hand out/email to friends) - when I was figuring out this DJ thing. And whatever mood I'm in, I know I can bump any De La Soul track and smile."

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Mick Boogie 'Summertime 2' Mixtape for UNDRCRWN

01 Intro  Summer Breeze

The Soulquarians is a neo soul and alternative hip hop-informed musical collective. The collective, formed during the late 1990s, continued into the early 2000s, and produced several well-received albums. Prior to its formation, members Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Q-Tip were members of the Native Tongues Posse.

Producer and drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of hip hop band The Roots acted as the "musical powerhouse" behind several of the collective's projects.b The name of the collective is derived from an astrology sign. The founding members of the collective — Ahmir Thompson a.k.a. Questlove from The Roots, D'Angelo, James Poyser, and J Dilla — share sign of Aquarius. Questlove, D'Angelo, Poyser, and J Dilla came together after discovering they had a common interest for the unconventional — offbeat rhythms, irregular chords, and other traits often exhibited by the underground urban music scene.

Crack-T - PLU Ibiza Winter Sessions #1 (Snippet)

"Raphael Saadiq is the Neo Soul and R&B producer, arranger and songwriter of a generation, yet criminally unsung. I simply wanted to shine a light on known, and some unknown, involvement of his in music over the years, from uptempo Soul of his own to his signature Two Step sound. 

Raphael's solo work needs no introduction, having redefined his sound over the years, remaining consistently current without loosing his era-defining, Soulaquarian-Neo-Soul feel. But his work with others artists is fascinating, linch-pinning so many killer R&B records whilst remaining forever background and humble.

There is a fascinating story told by Solange Knowles, of a misplaced Saadiq beat CD, which eventually lead to the makings, Grammy Award winning, Cranes In The Sky (Song Exploder, 2017). The Grammy captures Raphael’s nature perfectly, by not attending and opting out of the limelight. 

'I’ve been fortunate to work with both a Mick Jagger and a Kendrick Lamar, I’ve seen all sides. In terms of legacies, I just want people to look at the way I put music together and say he was a bad, bad man… But if they say nothing, I’m happy with that too.' (Raphael Saadiq, Hobbs / Quietus, 2017)

In an age of pop superstars and egos, it’s heartwarming seeing someone who’s intrinsic to the music we love, so down to earth. For the heads, there is an obvious exemption of any Ummah records, of which Raphael was an occasional member, however with exact individual involvement on each Ummah record such a grey area, that tribute mix alone is best saved for another time..."
