Back fof the 1st episode since September, and we're catching up on some of the Modern Funk releases that really stood out since.

VOYAGE FUNKTASTIQUE SHOW #229 | HOSTED BY WALLA P

Tall Black Guy is one of my favourite producers/beat makers. I could speak about how brilliant his work is but I would rather the beats do the "talking".

I hope you enjoy this mix of TBG flips, beats, blaps and edits that I put together just ahead of his Australian Tour.

TALL BLACK GUY MIXTAPE

Boogie funk mix Mayer Hawthorne (aka DJ Haircut) made back in 2005.

Shoot The Duck Vol. 1

Figured it's a good time to re-up this tape from six years ago. I've been hesitant to do so since there's five million J. Dilla tribute tapes out there, but...whatever. Maybe you all will dig this one too! Here are the notes from the original release:

"I really dug Dilla, his choice of records, his lush filtered samples, his basslines, and the fact he loved to eat donuts. I was introduced to his genius by Jumbo of the Lifesavas. He hit me with a dub of the early Slum Village album before it dropped, and told me to dub it and give it back to him the next day, cuz that was his only copy. And even rocking a dub of a dub, the beats were just so ill. I’d bump the shit til I couldn’t take the rhmyes anymore, but I never got tired of the beats.

I’d wanted to do this tape for awhile, and felt I should put something together dedicated to Dilla, as I was a fan of his music. Not every beat or 12 inch, but the feel of his production – he just had a great ear for great records. This tape is a mixture of some of my favorite Dilla-related records (that I own on wax) from well-known to more obscure, from rock to classic hip-hop tracks. It is by no means any kind of compendium, and isn’t meant to be. It’s just a brief sampling of music I dig, music that represents the inspiration I took from Jay Dee."

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
