R.I.P J Dilla
It’s been 5 years today since the great James Dewitt Yancey sadly passed. James, better known by his stage names J Dilla or Jay Dee, fought a two year battle with a rare blood disease called Lupus before leaving us just three days after his 32nd birthday.
I could write for hours about what Dilla achieved in such a short time but instead I will let his music speak for itself and showcase some of my favourite Dilla joints...
Rest in beats Jay Dee
Slum Village - Climax (Girl Sh**) [Instrumental]
J Dilla - The Shining - "Dime Piece (remix) ft. Dwele"

Listen to James Blake Debut LP
After months of anticipation, James Blake's debut LP hasn't actually come out, but it is now available to stream here! Check out these 11 atmospheric, soulful, 2-Step inspired tracks. While Blake has seemed to move on from his previous post-dubstep style, remains of his older sound can definitely be heard throughout the LP, which now features his vocals in every track (some even with stylish auto-tuning and crazy pitching). Admittedly, the whole album isn't very beat oriented, but is still a hell of a listen! Favourite tracks over here are 'To Care (Like You)' and 'I Mind'. Definitely worth a spin if you're into some left of center experimental sounds!

Exile - 'Population Control' feat Samiyam, Dibiase and Free the Robots
Exile - Population Control (Remixed by Samiyam, Dibiase, Free the Robots) from gregthedude on Vimeo.
Exile's "Population Control" is a trippy, mind-bending video scored by Samyiam, Dibiase and Free The Robots who all remixed the same track featured on 'AM/FM.' Inspired by Exile's "We Are All In Power" video, visual artist Greg "The Dude" Ponstingl created the video using thousands of still images and striking visual effects to make a boombox literally come to life. The result is a rather trippy experience, and if you are prone to seizures, look away.
