DJ Jazzy Jeff & J.PERIOD Present The Magnificent Live Mixtape [Recorded Live]

9th Wonder- J Dilla Fass Auntie Lounge Mix (2020)

The Soulquarians is a neo soul and alternative hip hop-informed musical collective. The collective, formed during the late 1990s, continued into the early 2000s, and produced several well-received albums. Prior to its formation, members Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Q-Tip were members of the Native Tongues Posse.

Producer and drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of hip hop band The Roots acted as the "musical powerhouse" behind several of the collective's projects.b The name of the collective is derived from an astrology sign. The founding members of the collective — Ahmir Thompson a.k.a. Questlove from The Roots, D'Angelo, James Poyser, and J Dilla — share sign of Aquarius. Questlove, D'Angelo, Poyser, and J Dilla came together after discovering they had a common interest for the unconventional — offbeat rhythms, irregular chords, and other traits often exhibited by the underground urban music scene.

Devil's Pie Summer Songs Edition Part One by DJ O-Dub

Music suffered a huge loss late last night/early this morning... We lost Phife Dawg of ATCQ & Native Tongues to health issues. Just like everyone else, I've been listening to Tribe all day and stumbled across these Native Tongues mixes I did for my people over at So Much Soul Clothing a few years back and figured I'd upload them. There's 2 parts to this mix, make sure you check them both out.

The Native Tongues Mix (Part I)

"Raphael Saadiq is the Neo Soul and R&B producer, arranger and songwriter of a generation, yet criminally unsung. I simply wanted to shine a light on known, and some unknown, involvement of his in music over the years, from uptempo Soul of his own to his signature Two Step sound. 

Raphael's solo work needs no introduction, having redefined his sound over the years, remaining consistently current without loosing his era-defining, Soulaquarian-Neo-Soul feel. But his work with others artists is fascinating, linch-pinning so many killer R&B records whilst remaining forever background and humble.

There is a fascinating story told by Solange Knowles, of a misplaced Saadiq beat CD, which eventually lead to the makings, Grammy Award winning, Cranes In The Sky (Song Exploder, 2017). The Grammy captures Raphael’s nature perfectly, by not attending and opting out of the limelight. 

'I’ve been fortunate to work with both a Mick Jagger and a Kendrick Lamar, I’ve seen all sides. In terms of legacies, I just want people to look at the way I put music together and say he was a bad, bad man… But if they say nothing, I’m happy with that too.' (Raphael Saadiq, Hobbs / Quietus, 2017)

In an age of pop superstars and egos, it’s heartwarming seeing someone who’s intrinsic to the music we love, so down to earth. For the heads, there is an obvious exemption of any Ummah records, of which Raphael was an occasional member, however with exact individual involvement on each Ummah record such a grey area, that tribute mix alone is best saved for another time..."

DJ Jazzy Jeff + MICK: Summertime 10

A collective of Hip-Hop & Soul musicians who came together in the late 90s, and thrived as a unit through the early 00s, the Soulquarians represent the continuation of a thread beginning with artists like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Aretha Franklin. One that extends up to artists from today's generation like The Internet, Kaytranada, Dreamville, & TDE.

I recently DJed an event where the theme was All-Soulquarian. And the response to the just the theme alone was amazing. We all know Dilla changed our lives, but what about the others? Questlove has touched more modern mainstream and underground music than most know about. And Mos Def's guest appearance listing is pages and pages long.

I didn't record my set that night, because I knew the wormhole that was about to open. There are volumes and volumes of this waiting to be made! So for this installment, I tried to stay away from doing an all-hits mix and instead went for deeper cuts and remixes along with some fan favs. If you see any glaring omissions, take it all in stride friends. We'll get to more on Volume 2...
