Prolific is an understatement when it comes to the world of Madlib. Diving in head first, people might know him from his most recent work with Freddie Gibbs. Or they might have heard about his acid tinged alter-ego Quasimoto in a dorm room or coffee shop (ahem, imagine you weren't born post 2000). Going further back, a lot first learned of 'The Beatkonducta' with the legendary Hip Hop trio, Lootpack. Regardless of where you learned of him or how you came across any of the ever growing catalog of creations, it is a safe bet there is almost ALWAYS going to be something you never knew was another 'Madlib Invazion'. 

That said, over the last few years I've happily dug around for the often overlooked, or dare I say, forgotten (dude is P-R-O-L-I-F-I-C, no diss) Jazz catalog Madlib has managed to pump out. 'Rugged Tranquility' is my attempt at finding some of the deeper cuts in the abyss, all the while celebrating 20 years of Otis Jackson Jr's Jazz masterpieces. - PK

[EXCLU] DJ Spinna - Jazz Attitudes special mix

Devil's Pie is honored to present to you a tribute of jazz living legend Herbie Hancock by Mark de Clive-Lowe, one of today's contemporary musical masters. More than a regular DJ mix, this live recording features Mark looping, remixing, and adding his own musicianship to Herbie's iconic music.

In Mark de Clive-Lowe's own words:
"The first time I heard Herbie Hancock was the Miles live album My Funny Valentine/Four and More. It was the first time I'd heard that era jazz music and I remember being so blown away with the way Herbie and Tony Williams played together and interacted on that concert. That was the start of a deep admiration and love for the art, creativity and music of Herbie Hancock. I consumed everything I could that he turned his hand to - all of his work with Miles, his own solo records for Blue Note, sideman recordings with every jazz great in every decade since the 60s, his Mwandishi experimental crossover work, the Headhunters deep funk - there's nothing the man could not do. As a pianist he's the ultimate - harmonically so rich and inventive, melodically so lyrical, rhythmically so damn hip. I've been fortunate to see him play on numerous occasions all over the world. The first time was the VSOP band live in Japan along with Wayne Shorter, Wallace Roney, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. I was 17 at the time and can't really fully explain how amazing that was to me. He's one of my biggest inspirations and influences and through his huge body of work, a true musical mentor. In being asked to put together a tribute set, it was the perfect opportunity to go back through decades of his work and pick moments that I really love. I wanted to do more than just spin a set of tunes though, I wanted to take those moments and sample them, flip them, perform a live mixtape. It was the perfect way to share the man's music and how I feel about it. Enjoy!"

Recorded live on June 17, 2015 at Lock & Key Bar, Los Angeles.

Devil's Pie Presents: The Herbie Hancock Tribute by Mark de Clive-Lowe

Rev. Shines – Today’s Good News Vol. 4

Tracklist available here: https://blog.discogs.com/en/crate-diggers-mix-009-rev-shines/

Fulfill your soul and free with your mind with the latest installment of Today’s Good News, crafted specifically for Crate Diggers, in support of Crate Diggers Portland 2017. Inspired by records bought and people met from a recent trip around the world, Rev. Shines takes you on a journey of samples and discovery. This is an all-vinyl mixtape, using records found while on the road this past year.

Rev. Shines is a crate digger in its truest sense; Questlove once announced at a show in Portland, “Rev. Shines built my record collection.” Shines has performed in over 15 countries, is 1/3 of the Hip Hop group Lifesavas whom Rolling Stone Magazine touted as a “Top Band to Watch” in 2007, and DJs the most popular Hip Hop dance party in Portland, “Live and Direct”. His mixtape series, Today’s Good News has a cult following and sells out immediately online and at record stores like Turntable Lab.

While working at the Portland landmark record store, Jump Jump, Shines met and sold records to music legends like the aforementioned Questlove, J.Dilla, and Easy Mo Bee. Most importantly, he met the proverbial king of House music production, Kenny Dope, whom invited him on a world tour, DJing and digging in countries like Japan and Australia.

What does Rev. Shines sound like? A decade crossing beat visionary, inspired by golden era Hip Hop, Southern Gospel singers, and funky Brasilians from the 1970’s. His dynamic live sets simultaneously put smiles on faces, get heads nodding, and suggest feelings of an ever-present coolness.

Crate Diggers Mix 009 - Rev. Shines

iLL Communications presents Gilles Peterson (Brownswood Records/ Talkin’ Loud) @ The Rooftop, Souk Madinat Jumeirah on April 9, 2009.
  
  Gilles Peterson who will be spinning his signature set of latin infused acid jazz at iLL Communications. As a well recognized musical tastemaker, he spreads his influence on music listeners through WorldWide radio show celebrating 10 years on BBC Radio 1 now broadcasted in 15 countries from New Zealand, Croatia, Nigeria, USA to Cyprus. Gilles Peterson is a DJ, record collector and a three record label owner (Acid Jazz, Talkin’ Loud and Brownswood) from London, UK. Brought up among the South London suburban soul scene in the early eighties, Gilles would listen to Level 42, Earth Wind & Fire, Central Line and the heavier, deeper pirate stations such as Radio Invicta. This inspired him to set up his own station - an aerial suspended between a tree and a phone box - playing an eclectic mix of jazz, funk, reggae, soul and early electro. Over the years Gilles had collected so many records he had to move to a bigger house to fit all his records. He has come along way since then by being associated with the careers of countless well-known artists such as Erykah Badu, Tony Rich, Jamiroquai and from United Future Organization. 
  
  He has also hosted his Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards every year, the awards are an annual celebration of all the best new music that has come through every year on Gilles' Radio 1 show, with some of the best new acts performing on the night. He continues to be a breath of fresh air on the dance floors of the world and on this special night he will be playing unique selection of music that is rarely heard elsewhere.
  
  iLL Communications is hosted by OHM Events – who is responsible for introducing thousands of people in the region and around the world to the most forward thinking music and artists such as Sven Vath, Jazzanova, Laurent Garnier, Kruder and Dorphmeister, Nitin Sawheney and many more.
