The Dinner Set


"Back On The Planet with another edition of 'Live from Spacebase' where I share stuff I vibe out to. I've got some exclusive Sun Ra in the set, played some Thundercat, Eagle Nebula!, Georgia Anne, Holy Smoke (Jae and Zeroh) and  some other stuff you will just be shazaming anyway (yea u haha) shout out to the Grand Visualizer Of The  A.S.P.  Back to the beats..." _Ras_G        RECORDED. OCT 2013

Live From Spacebase vol.2

Figured it's a good time to re-up this tape from six years ago. I've been hesitant to do so since there's five million J. Dilla tribute tapes out there, but...whatever. Maybe you all will dig this one too! Here are the notes from the original release:

"I really dug Dilla, his choice of records, his lush filtered samples, his basslines, and the fact he loved to eat donuts. I was introduced to his genius by Jumbo of the Lifesavas. He hit me with a dub of the early Slum Village album before it dropped, and told me to dub it and give it back to him the next day, cuz that was his only copy. And even rocking a dub of a dub, the beats were just so ill. I’d bump the shit til I couldn’t take the rhmyes anymore, but I never got tired of the beats.

I’d wanted to do this tape for awhile, and felt I should put something together dedicated to Dilla, as I was a fan of his music. Not every beat or 12 inch, but the feel of his production – he just had a great ear for great records. This tape is a mixture of some of my favorite Dilla-related records (that I own on wax) from well-known to more obscure, from rock to classic hip-hop tracks. It is by no means any kind of compendium, and isn’t meant to be. It’s just a brief sampling of music I dig, music that represents the inspiration I took from Jay Dee."

Pullin from the Stacks Podcast - Episode 49

Live, all-vinyl set at Vinyl Tap in Philly, PA, January 19, 2019. Many thanks to Duiji and the whole Vinyl Tap crew! I threw some pretty random records in a bag and took the New Jersey Transit train down to the 215 on a chilly Saturday, but we warmed the place up.

Duey FM & Tripledouble's
AEIOU Warmups...the Iron Chef Mix

When visitors come to Philly, we try to give them a slice of life. 
Not just a taste of album covers and rotating wax, but the type of everyday culture that inspires our love for music. 
So on a whirlwind Spring afternoon, we trooped some out of town guests through 
crack-a-dawn fleas, street scapes, dusty shops, greasy Italian lunch counters and our home record sanctuaries. 
This mix showcases the random assortment of records that crossed our path during that sunny day in Philadelphia. 
Its also a small taste of the madness to come as ...
Duey FM, Master Sinh, and Tripledouble polish up AEIOU 2000.
