Props for putting the Introduction of the artist up front !

Tall Black Guy is one of my favourite producers/beat makers. I could speak about how brilliant his work is but I would rather the beats do the "talking".

I hope you enjoy this mix of TBG flips, beats, blaps and edits that I put together just ahead of his Australian Tour.

BCR Radio Episode 044 - J Bonner - Carry The Swing

FKJ & Yussef Dayes - Live From The Greenhouse

It's already been a decade since J Dilla — the mercurial producer and rapper from Detroit — passed away and his posthumously completed album, The Shining, saw the light of day on BBE Records. 

As they prepare to release the project on 7" for the first time, we're extremely honoured to get our hands on a never-before-heard mixtape by the master himself. Made some time between mid-1999 and early 2000, it's a fly-on-the-wall showing of what Jay Dee had blaring out of his speakers while on the sofa or by the MPC. 

Sink into your own couch and press play before ordering a copy of the re-release.

Order The Shining here - http://bbemusic.lnk.to/JDilla-The-Shining

MADLIB MEDICINE SHOW #2: FLIGHT TO BRAZIL

Trouble in Wackyland

Im so excited to share this new mix I’ve done for the incredible talented designer Nicholas Daley , premiered via The Vinyl Factory feat an unreleased live recording from N. Daley AW18 presentation with: Yussef Dayes, Shabaka Hutchings and Alfa Mist:
https://thevinylfactory.com/news/unreleased-shabaka-hutchings-yussef-dayes-live-session-debuts-on-new-nicholas-daley-x-touching-bass-mix/

ABOUT THE MIX:
A musical response to his latest menswear collection Red Clay inspired by Freddie Hubbard’s album of the same name
.
Red Clay is earthy, rich, deep and organic, in its actual form or as a metaphor
.
Drawing inspiration from Hubbard and that 70s era, Nicholas’ AW18 presentation combined four players who embody that same level of richness. On many occasions, the strokes, notes and riffs of Yussef Dayes, Alfa Mist, Shabaka Hutchings and Mansur Brown have made me cry. To me, they have an incredibly special ability to connect, channel and transcend emotions that touch the most inner of our beings. The ability to move, uplift or simply hold us is to me, the greatest gift of all; the highest currency.
I hope this mix captures that very special energy while also paying homage to those that have provided us with the foundation to build on; intertwining the past and the present like having musicians from distant eras playing in one room.
Thank you to all the makers and creators who inspire me every single day and to all the cats from the 70s for creating some of the best music of all time
.
A special thank you to:

Marion Jones
Sshabaka Huthcings
Billy Harper
Alfa Mist
Earl & Carl Grubbs
Mansur Brown 
George Duke
Joe Henderson
Yussef Dayes 
Earth Wind & Fire
James Massiah & 
Nicholas Daley 🙏🏽
