The Dusty Handclap No. 20 (Beats of All Nations Guest Mix)

I know the phrase "Dilla Changed my Life" is something that almost seems watered down and become somewhat of a fad, but it seems to be something I am comfortable with saying.  

My story is some what similar to all of the great stories heard from all of our heroes in hip-hop. Most of their first encounters of Jay Dee's music was through the circulation of his Slum Village demo tape distributed around small circles primarily via Houseshoes & Q-Tip.  For my generation hip-hop was already around, but when you consider the actual time of understanding hip-hop, I was first introduced through a small vinyl collection from a close friend in High School, which included "Slum Village - Fantastic Vol 2".  The "Intro" track into "Conant Gardens" into "I Don't Know" was a life changing sequence for me.  Jam packed w/ Soulful rhodes, great mixing, thick drums, heavy bass lines, chopped drum breaks, rhythmic vocals, scratching, vocal chops etc. The density of the music in that 3 track sequence was unmatched (maybe until this day).  Since that time when I was maybe 14 (pre Dj years) I became obsessed w/ hip-hop music and the culture.  Over the years I studied anything Jay Dee (Dilla): his music, the moves he made, the records he sampled, the drums he chopped.   

Since his passing there have been 100's if not 1000's of tributes created to celebrate his catalog.  With the blueprint for me being the masterpiece mixes created by J Rocc in the early years following his passing, I felt like I needed to take another approach.  

This episode is more focused on connecting stories told by some of Dilla's greatest collaborators.   The music selections may not be reflective of his "greatest work" but they are chosen to help drive the story and help explain the reasons why he was so impactful to the game.  Much like his catalog and the 1000's of mixes out there are equally the same amount of stories circulating the internet of people talking about his impact.  These are some of the more important ones, or at least that helped me get a better idea of who he was and why he was a genius.  

Whether you are a new Dilla fan or a long-time Jay Dee fanatic, I hope this helps guide you to a greater understanding of the James Yancey legacy.  

Peace
DJ Flow, February, 2017

The Dusty Handclap No. 23 (Instant Vintage Guest Mix)

This episode of the Dusty Handclap features a guest mix from 'Straightin it Out' (SF) resident DJ Jerry Nice 

Straight up, Hype Raps is an ode to an era where moving the dance floor was king.  
 
In the late 80’s through early 90’s, a mixture of diverse sounds dictated the nightlife & hip-hop as a genre didn’t shy away from finding influence within these various styles.  Whether artists were inspired from trends of the time (James Brown samples, New Jack Swing, UK dance scene, Soulful House, etc.) or created a sound all their own, keeping things uptempo was a must. 

Many of these dance-focused tracks could be found as album cuts, b-sides, or remixes - with the occasional lead single getting heavy rotation as well (either organically or from label pressure).  Like any form of popular music, it was up to the tastemakers to push the good & save the lame for the rest. 

In the same vein as his Dance Raps mixtape, Jerry Nice taps into another distinct moment in hip-hop, this time paying homage to the artists & tracks that kept the masses hype during peak hours.  The songs within this mix reflect those that never left his “play crate,” acting as the backbone & main source of inspiration for this project.

Initially born as Beat Swap Meet Vinyl Radio in 2014, The Dusty Handclap is a radio show that strives to support independent soul, jazz, funk, and hip hop artists. Like any DJ worth their weight, we started our journey on vinyl and still believe it to be the ideal medium for recorded music. That being stated, we understand the changing tides of both music recording and production and it is our aim to continue to evolve along with the music. We will always cherish vinyl, not only as a material but as a larger culture, but ultimately we are choosing to love music as a whole over any specific mediums. Music is the universal language- stay digging.
