Funky DL pays tribute to the legendary hip-hop sounds of J Dilla and Nujabes by recreating their famous songs on this fantastic album entitled... "February: A Rest In Beats Tribute To The Sounds of J Dilla & Nujabes".

Working tiresomely in the studio, DL with assistance from some of his musical pals crafted a full studio album paying homage to and celebrating the creative ideas originally brought to hip-hop by both the late James 'J Dilla' Yancey and Sebajun 'Nujabes' Yamada.

However, DL veers away from intense sampling, avoiding the same breaks as used by Dilla & Nujabes - to bring this fabulously musical, creative and jazzy tribute album.

DL felt it fitting for the album to be named February, being that (coincidently) these two hip-hop legends were both born on February 7th 1974, and sadly passed away in February 2006 and February 2010 respectively.

As Funky DL's intention was to capture the essence and soulful connection of what they 'both' brought to music lovers around the world, DL carefully hand- selected each track from the catalogues of these two legends and crafted as elegant of a representation as he could to showcase a further progression into the wealth of ideas from Dilla and Nujabes; but taking them that one step further and going beyond the usual restrictions of using only the contents of original samples.

This album is certain to bring back the nostalgia of the classics that each track was born from, as well as offering an entirely new audio perspective. The fans of both J Dilla and Nujabes will be pleasantly surprised.

Another One was the second collab track Nocatchphraze and I ever made together as a duo and probably the moment we realized we should make a whole album. 

The soundscape is minimalistic. It features some Dillaesque drums with a loose shaker. The Fender Rhodes heard throughout felt a tad too sharp at the earliest stage of production so we added some effects and let the chords manifest themselves in bulging waves. The bassline was laced 16 levels style on the MPC and later on we added another layer of drums on top, making them sound more "live". The vocal chops were thrown into the mix to kind of give you the feeling that a master of ceremony was present, keeping the listeners attention. 

Another One is a feel good track that will make you wanna kick back in the couch just as much as you wanna move and nod your head in deep swinging motions. 

12" vinyl full length album Private Barrel Selection is coming out Nov 18!!!
