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!

Please follow, like, share & repost if you dig it!

Ice Cube: On The East Coast Vol 2 (Jimmy Green mixtape)

Hey everyone,

I've been a little quiet on the mix front recently as I've been playing out pretty regularly, with a few charity gigs and a monthly residency at Jordy's Pizzeria in Nantwich. Last month, I was also invited back to play at Workinonit at The Hip Hop Chip Shop in Manchester. My first appearance there was last October's MF DOOM tribute and I released an extended version of the mix afterwards.  Check it out here if you haven't already.

https://soundcloud.com/djds1975/workinonit-an-mf-doom-tribute)

Incidentally, this has had to be released on my Soundcloud as Mixcloud banned the mix due to it containing more than 3 tracks by the same artist within the marathon 3.5-hour mix.  Big up to Soundcloud for being so amazing!!

I've decided that I'd do the same this time as my latest appearance there was to play a 2-hour tribute to the one and only, J Dilla. The 2-hour set has now been extended to 3.5-hours and again, the mix is jam packed with all things Dilla from samples, remixes, covers, production & more. I wanted to get this out right after the set but I’ve had a crazy few weeks here and have only just got time to record it!!

As ever, a huge thanks to all the Workinonit crew, alongside Ozzie & the team at The Hip Hop Chip Shop for such an amazing event & thanks for letting me get on and close the event!! Great to catch up with all the homies and the rest of the good people who came out.  Massive thanks to the guys for asking me to be the official DJ for Workinonit too!!  I'm still blown away by this and it meant the world to me!!

It’s the second time I’ve played at The Hip Hop Chip Shop now and I absolutely love playing there!! Also, using my own gear too always things so much easier. Nice to have my trusty Technics 1210s, Pioneer DJMS-7, Serato DJ Pro & Phase. Always bulletproof and makes things so much easier!! I do realise why people switch to controllers though. All this gear gets heavy when you get to my grand old age!!

Anyway, I hope you dig the mix and I always respond to the comments, etc.  If you could share this as far and wide as possible we can spread the word about Workinonit and the music of Jay Dee!!

Also, if you don't follow me on socials, here's the link to pretty much everything. It would be great to link up so that I can say thanks for all the support.

Thanks again & let me know what you think of the mix when it does drop!!

Workinonit (A J Dilla Tribute)

The M.E Scandal
I’m about to tell a story, a true story
I was Living life, music in my bloodstream
Then I got flu & it  vanished like steam 
Who knew flu could evaporate a dream
I never knew what it was all gonna mean?  
But I’m still Shackled to illness like I’m its bitch 
Still scratching this 30+ year frickin itch
Kicked by exhaustion & lack of belief
All these stolen lives by the invisible thief
I need to escape to somewhere the wind blows
I don’t wanna  become yet another blue rose
On the social media posts of some
Let’s light a candle there goes another one
It’s become normalised an acceptable fate
The lingering death that we live and await
And I absolutely hate this, did I create this
Stressed til I burnt out, I struggle to face this
Denied point and purpose, rhyme or reason
Every day, week &  month every year, every season
Cancelled appointments, damn disappointments
And a default sorry well that’s the only ointment that we have to offer
With guilt & frustration
And with limited ways out of this situation.
It’s a lingering death that we live and await
And WE ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS.

Chorus
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)
It’s the M.E Scandal
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)

They never believed us, they all deceived us
Government, medical, media teased us
Decades of promises, words without action
The crumbs of their biscuits, huh, just a distraction
Allergic reaction all taken its toll
And the shrinks try to shrink us to the size of a pinhole
Oh no you don’t, we’re building the ark, 
Stronger together sailing out of the dark
Barking this is physical, co-operation critical 
But typically politically I have to spit it lyrical
They’re criminally sick but it’s of their own choosing
To neglect and abuse us, refuse the improving
I’m loosing my shit, get a grip, there’s still a way to go
I swear it’s gonna happen just not in my lifetime though
A  test, treatment maybe a  cure 
& future generations won’t suffer anymore
Get down off ya  cross and lay down ya crown 
Give back the award, there’s a real god in town.
Called truth, been here since the beginning
Standing in the shadows waiting for that winning moment
Our voices heard and apologies given
Watch this space for the next lyrical edition
Coz we ain’t going nowhere. It’s time. 

Chorus
Doctor
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself)
It’s the M.E Scandal
(You’ve been playing a god so long you believe it yourself) 
Let’s get down to facts

It’s the M.E scandal, It’s the M.E scandal
It’s the M.E scandal, it’s the M.E scandal

Yeah it’s time the world knew, what people like me and you
Have been going through. It’s The M.E Scandal

You’ve been playing a god so long, you believe it yourself
