Special 4/20 Edition of The House List with my real good buddy and longtime hip-hop junkie a-alike DJ Double K aka LA Mike! Often considered a man of mystery by many of the faithful followers of People Under The Stairs, Mike and I sat down on the porch at his house with some old friends and shot the gift about his life for a few. Hope you dig this. If you smoke, you may roll one up to it now. If not, you can just sit back and catch a contact. Pick up that LA Mike album which just dropped where-ever you can find it and check PUTS when they play a show near your town, over at: puts.band - don't forget to mash that subscribe button and leave a donation if ya feeling generous!

Back in 2002, High C of the Dallas Texas based crate digging crew Rehash and DJ Raj Mahal of Soul Strut would swap mixes to feature on each other's site (Real Audio style).  The mixes usually contained loads of breaks and beats lifted from obscure 70s jazz & funk, with the occasional soundtrack and prog record thrown in.  I present you exhibit A.

Much appreciation to everyone who's tuned in the last six years! We made it to 150 episodes, way farther than I ever anticipated. Couldn't have gotten here without so many folks tuning in.

BBE Music presents J Jazz volume 3, the latest in its definitive compilation series exploring the finest modern jazz from Japan.

Since the first volume in February 2018, the J Jazz compilation series has showcased some of the most creative, inspired, and sought-after jazz recorded in Japan during a golden period spanning the 1960s to the 1980s. Illustrating the richness and versatility of the composers and musicians on this collection, the music spans a wide yet coherent range of styles: samba, funk fusion, modal, spiritual, post-bop, and bossa all combine to present an aural portrait of a jazz scene that was constantly moving and shifting its multiple musical centres of gravity.

Mastered at the Grammy-nominated Carvery studio in London, many of the tracks featured are reissued for the first time, including mega-rare private press cuts from the Yasuhiro Kohno Trio, Masaru Imada Trio, and Hideyasu Terakawa Quartet. There’s heavy post modal bop by J Jazz legends Kohsuke Mine and Koichi Matsukaze; samba heat from Tatsuya Nakamura, Hideo Shiraki and Seiichi Nakamura; and funky dance floor energy by Hiroshi Murakami, Ryojiro Furusawa Quartet and Shigeharu Mukai.

Selected albums from which the tracks are drawn will be reissued in full as part of the acclaimed BBE Music J Jazz Masterclass Series. Released as a deluxe, heavyweight x3 vinyl set in a gatefold sleeve with obi strip and insert, the collection comes with extensive artist biographies and track information. J Jazz volume 3 is also available in a x2 CD set with three bonus tracks, and selected tracks are available across digital platforms for download and streaming. J Jazz is conceived, compiled, and annotated by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden for BBE Music.

In late 2003 when Dilla, Madlib, Peanut Butter Wolf & J Rocc were in in the UK to conduct a quick promo tour for the Champion Sound, the guys came into London's 104.9 XFM for an interview and freestyle session. A snippet of this was included on the 2013 Stones Throw DVD 'Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton' but this is the full audio available for the first time #RIPDilla
