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.

Buy/Tracklist

First, total nerd. Hence, "the dork thing." Second, I like hip hop/prog/synthwave/psychedelic/indie/alt/underground and physics. Somehow, it's all related, I'm nearly certain.

Connecting club culture to the wider world, on screen and irl through parties, film and video.
