This track makes me want to dance like Tyrone Biggums

James Yancey Productions (Tribute to Jay Dee aka J Dilla) Mixed by @Haylow

Celebrating 30 years of A Tribe Called Quest's 'Low End Theory'.  How do you follow up a 5-mic debut album??  With a 5-mic sophomore LP!  Everything about this album is a MASTERPIECE....from the abstract cover art, to the jazz-infused production emphasizing the LOW END, to the rhymes traded effortlessly between Q-Tip and Phife (R.I.P.).  Genius-level artistry.
This album represented a defining moment in hip hop, so I HAD to pay tribute with a mix incorporating the original samples, remixes, and blends.

Experiencing the break up of A Tribe Called Quest was real to me. How could they end something so great? Their music was effortlessly perfect.. Their watery landscapes and drum manipulation (using just 1/4 of a break loop) influenced a whole new style of beat making. A Tribe Called Quest elevated the musicality of Hip-Hop without playing a single note. They were one of the most influential groups, inspiring myself and many others.. this mix is a reflection of that influence and inspiration. -DJ Definit (2008)

DJ Definit - A Lounge Called Quest

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...

I am constantly thinking of different themes to build a mix around. With the completion of each mix I typically fall into a 2-3 week funk where I try to think of a new theme for my next mix. Following the Folger's Blends mix I was struggling to think of a new theme. Then, one day while doing a random google search I stumbled onto the above logo. At first glance, I thought the logo was straight dope. However, the logo became even cooler when I learned that it was the creation of my favorite t-shirt designer, Derek from Manifest Worldwide. Given that the saying behind the logo comes from a ATCQ song, I was originally intending to do a Tribe mix. However, since Tribe mixes are a dime a dozen I went in the direction of creating a mix that attempts to capture the jazzy vibe that groups like Tribe and Digable Planets spawned. As the title suggests, all songs on this mix incorporate jazz based samples. The track selection includes music from jazzy groups and producers such as A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Diamond D, Black Moon, De La Soul, Madlib, No ID, Gang Starr, Showbiz & AG, Big L, The Roots, and Nas (I think that's all of them?). Half the fun of making this mix was doing the research to ensure that all songs maintained a jazz break. Some were no brainers, but other songs with jazz breaks were quite surprising. Jazz based samples have always given a special vibe to hip hop music so I hope this mix captures that magic. Thanks again to Derek at Manifest for inspiring the mix's theme.

We Got the Jazz

London’s very own Spin Doctor has been a busy boy while in Lockdown. He has created this epic mix dedicated to the powerhouse that is Q-Tip. Using 50 tracks to mark The Abstract’s 50th Birthday on Friday 10th April 2020.
 
The mix combinies a bunch of Tip’s productions, verses, samples, interviews and more. From A Tribe Called Quest to Solange, Nas to Quincey Jones, the mix explores all aspects of this man’s genius.
 
There are very few artists that can claim such impact on an entire genre, but A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip can do just that and more. As a member of what is widely agreed to be the greatest Hip-Hop group of all time, as a solo artist and as a producer for the great and the good, Q-Tip’s impact is immeasurable. Through his influence on the likes of J-Dilla, Kanye West and Pharrell, his influence can still be heard throughout all forms of Hip-Hop and Soul. Keep Bouncing!
