An Afternoon with Mary Anne Hobbs

Today marks ten years since James Yancey, better known as J Dilla, passed away. Regularly considered as one of the greatest producers and musicians to ever grace hip-hop, his innovative techniques, meticulous accuracy and outright groove have been mimicked and revered since he passed in February 2006. His magnum opus, Donuts, was released just three days before his death; much of it produced from his hospital bed using just an MPC, sampler and portable turntable — a remarkable feat under any circumstance.

Raj Chaudhuri (aka Raji Rags) — head of music at Boiler Room and Livin' Proof co-founder — has been an avid Dilla disciple for a long time. Classic Album Sundays recently invited him to chair a talk on Dilla's finest work on the anniversary of its release date. What ensues is not only a highly informative and emotional examination of the 31-track project, but a cross-check of all the relevant events that lead up to its making.

Recorded live at Classic Album Sundays in London.

Donuts Dissected: 10 Years On

Following on from the hugely successful discovery of a never-before-heard J Dilla mixtape, Boiler Room continue their coverage of hip hop's finest technician with their second Yancey-dedicated podcast in partnership with Classic Album Sundays.

Where Episode 1 saw Boiler Room Head of Music and Dillaphile, @RajiRags, break down his magnum opus Donuts, this sequel digs into the anatomy of his 2001 debut LP Welcome 2 Detroit (BBE Records) alongside Dilla's mentor, @AmpFiddler.

Containing rare tape demos from a 17-year-old Jay Dee, classic J Dilla productions and unheard beats broken down to their kick and snare bare bones (via Dilla's own MPC files) and plenty of other musical nuggets, it's a must listen for anyone vaguely interested in the genius' work.

Recorded live at Classic Album Sundays in London.

In this talk, Boiler Room's Gabriel @szatan sat down with @wolfgang_voigt to discuss his landmark GAS project – some of the greatest ambient / dub techno / experimental electronic music of all time.

It was recorded live in front of an audience during a Classic Album Sundays session at London's Brilliant Corners, November 2016.

From the dark tones of 1997's "Zauberberg", through to 2000's glistening "Pop", the music Voigt recorded under his GAS moniker remains perhaps his most beloved and influential of a long career. Contemporary geniuses such as Tim Hecker, The Field, Burial, Donato Dozzy, William Basinski and more all carry the GAS hallmarks.

Hear all the music broken down by Voigt during this rare public appearance. For further listening, four classic GAS releases were compiled in a boxset, released last year – available here: http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/box

Since the talk took place, Voigt has announced a return to touring and a long-awaited follow-up, "Narkopop" – order here: https://KompaktRecords.lnk.to/Narkopop

Thanks to @kompakt and Classic Album Sundays for making this happen.

Contemporary Classics #001: Roni Size on "New Forms"

Our series of talks podcasts continues with a celebration of Radiohead's game-changing "In Rainbows", celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2017.

Radiohead diehard @lone-1 guested at a Classic Album Sundays event in London (Mirands, Ace Hotel) with Boiler Room's Gabriel @Szatan to go deep on the Oxford band's stellar and deeply personal 2007 masterpiece.

They also spoke about his remixes for the band; the classic Boiler Room party he played at the invite of Thom Yorke; "In Rainbows"' notorious 'pay what you want' approach; and more. The podcast features a number of rare offcuts and live performances from the era of their 7th album – see if you can spot them all.

Contemporary Classics #002: Lone on Radiohead "In Rainbows"

Our series of album-focused podcasts continues with a celebration of Burial's mysterious masterpiece "Untrue.", which turned 10 the day of this talk.

Two heroes of the UK underground dance culture – BBC/Deviation's Benji B & Keysound's Blackdown – sat down with Boiler Room's Gabriel @Szatan to discuss everything that fed into Hyperdub's stone-cold classic. Focus on rave euphoria, FWD>>, night buses, El-B's drum techniques and much more inside.   

As a special treat for the heads, "True Love (VIP)" and the alternate version of "U Hurt Me" are included on this podcast, their first official outing on tape in many years. Have fun hunting those out.

The series returns in 2018. Keep warm over the holidays by listening to previous Classic Album Sundays talks on Radiohead, J Dilla, Roni Size & Wolfgang Voigt's GAS here: soundcloud.com/platform/sets/boiler-room-x-classic-album
