this track was inspired by and made in tribute to one of my biggest influences, not only as an artist but as a person. this man has influenced my life, the means of how I live, and the music I make. happy birthday and rest in peace to the great J Dilla. May your legacy live on forever... thank you.

the audio used throughout was taken from one of dilla's last live shows.

We’re proud to present our new compilation “First Light”, released in conjunction with our extended family Mellow Orange. Spanning 23 tracks, the compilation features some of the freshest and most innovative talent in the Hip Hop and Instrumental Beat scenes from around the globe.

From the 8bit inspired synths of Submerse’s “Makise’s Blips” to the boom-bap drums of Dutchy’s “This Could Be Us” and the jazz excursions of Mecca:83’s “Open”: First Light documents the diversity and constantly expanding sound of the scene. We think it’s one of our finest releases to date and we hope you do too.

Compiled by Mecca:83 & Yusai
Cover Art by Joël Van Der Knaap
