repress - j dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, having supplied timeless soundbeds for the likes of a tribe called quest, slum village, the pharcyde, busta rhymes, common, de la soul, the roots, d’angelo, erykah babu, madlib, and many more. in 2005, rumors began circulating about an album called “jay love japan”, a j dilla solo project inspired by one of jay dee’s favorite locations to visit on tour. after dilla’s untimely death in early 2006, the album became a lost classic shrouded in mystery, with only unofficial bootlegs and promo versions available. an official cd version was eventually released in 2008, but quickly went out of print. now, the album is finally receiving the official release it always deserved. j dilla’s mother ma dukes and her label vintage vibez music group are proud to present official vinyl and cd versions of “jay love japan”. with six soulful dilla instrumentals and vocal appearances from blu, miguel, j*davey, ta’raach, exile, baatin, and more, this 11-track collection is a perfect snapshot of late-period j dilla brilliance.

repress - the previous 3 volume series is now compiled as a compact 2lp. the late, great j dilla is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, in part because his ear for music was so diverse and expansive. as dilla’s mother ma dukes explains, “he didn’t come with a limited capacity, and real producers produce, produce, and produce. “there are no formats for genius workers ... just non-stop creations.” now, a fresh batch of those creations will be made available to the world for the first time, in the form of the latest official j dilla release, dillatronic. presented by ma dukes and compiled by djs alien villainz (fellow detroit natives who worked closely with dilla), dillatronic contains over 40 rare instrumentals that showcase dilla’s undeniable electronic influences. j dilla’s music was impacted by the diverse musical history of detroit - the birthplace of techno and one of the most important cities in the history of electronic music. “you can hear it in songs like ‘raise it up’ for slum village or ‘make it hurt’ for busta rhymes,” says young rj (dilla’s protégé and member of slum village). “the detroit influence is part of what gave him an edge in production.” with today’s music sounding more electronic than ever, dillatronic has a shockingly contemporary feel. “these tracks are still ahead of their time sonically,” explains rj. “the things producers are doing now, dilla did that 15 years ago.”

ltd repress - the late, great j dilla is widely regarded as one of the greatest hiphop producers of all time. an innovator who pushed the genre in new sonic directions, the detroit native born james yancey crafted timeless soundscapes for the likes of slum village, busta rhymes, common, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, the roots, and many more. since his death in 2006, dilla’s mother maureen “ma dukes” yancey has worked tirelessly to further her son’s legacy, and her latest effort is the new posthumous album motor city. inspired by dilla’s beloved hometown, motor city is a collection of rare and unreleased jay dee instrumentals, hand-selected and sequenced by ma dukes. conceived as a “letter” to her son, motor city is packaged in a limited-edition mailing envelope, complete with a handwritten message from ma dukes to j dilla inside. include access to an exclusive mix of the album by dilla’s close friend j rocc, a world-renown dj and founder of the beat junkies.

j dillaÕs protege guilty simpson first collaborated with madlibÕs protege med on the hard hitting Ôjungle loveÕ track off j dilla s Ôthe shiningÕ lp. they continued to reunite on several tracks after, and now offer us the child of the jungle lp. with beats by madlib, nottz, black milk, mndsgn, karriem riggins, apollo brown and more... the duo have no choice but to come correct with the lyrics, and they do. from cali to detroit, med and guilty simpson deliver a banging 12 track lp this year on bang ya head entertainment.

dilla- von abstract orchestra ist eine hommage an die arbeit des hochgelobten und einflussreichen produzenten. der opener -welcome to detroit / the diary- nimmt die stimmprobe von isaac hayes -man s temptation- und platziert sie gegen üppige bläser und treibende beats, während -workinonit- die originalen 10cc gitarrensamples aus dem dilla-original auf beißende trompeten und aggressive saxophone transportiert, wie immer von joost hendrickx auf trommeln untermauert. auf -stop- singt die sängerin anna uhuru den dionne warwick-gesang mit viel gefühl, während die band eine anordnung hinterlegt, die an die arbeit von david axelrod und don sebeskey erinnert, beide große inspirationsquellen für das abstract orchestra. -dilla- wurde erst kürzlich von gilles peterson in seiner bbc6 musik-radio-show gefeiert.

since his untimely death at the all too young age of 32 the world has grown to appreciate the work of j dilla even more than when he was alive. there’s an ethereal quality to jay dee’s works, part boom bap but more mellow. mellow, but never soft. and dilla never stopped making beats, his mpc was by his side until the very end. it now resides in the smithsonian. due the prolific nature of his beat making, the world is blessed to have stacks of dilla material – some coming to light even this many years after his passing. in the world of hip hop, no one’s mother is more famous that ma dukes. go ahead, name check chuck d’s mom or chance the rapper’s mom or ti’s mother – without hitting google. and one of the reasons we all know ma dukes is her tireless effort to maintain dilla’s legacy. this release is yet another step in that direction. presented here, from the official ma dukes collection, are 15 works by jay dee from deep in the vaults, being released on vinyl for the first time.

the mark that the late producer j dilla left upon hip-hop during the 90s and early-to-mid 00s is undeniable. his work with de la soul, busta rhymes, the pharcyde, and of course slum village long been cemented his prominence in the annals of hip-hop history. of the many words one can use to describe j dillaãs legacy, one thatãs not used enough is prolific. dilla made beats constantly. so new dilla compositions are still being discovered. one of the places where those works are still being unearthed is the archives of the neãastra music group, who proudly present here 8 dilla tracks previously unissued on vinyl. dillaãs legacy continues to be shared and celebrated by todayãs hip-hop audience ¹ with help from the tireless efforts of ne astra.

featuring frank and dank, phat kat and kareem --- the first on the beat generation release schedule is jay dee who inspired the above panegyric. he is one of the more prominent members of the beat generation. detroit’s don of the beats is widely regarded as one of the most important men in hip -hop alongside pete rock and dj premier. jay dee has prepared for us a feast of beats and pieces. his credentials read like a who s who of hip hop and r&b. jay dee’s slum village project has the dubious honour of being the most bootlegged in history. the recent album, fantastic vol. 2 has received superlative reviews. jay dee produced common’s like water for chocolate (lp) - a landmark album featuring d’angelo, dj premier, rahzel, george clinton and bobby caldwell. the ummah, jay dee along with q - tip and ali shaheed, produced tribe called quest’s last two albums beats, rhymes and life and the love movement. jay dee is the executive producer on the new erykah badu lp. he has recently produced tracks for the new de la soul lp, guru’s jazzmatazz 3, busta rhymes and the forthcoming jay z lp. jay dee was also the driving force behind the pharcyde and virtually the whole q-tip lp. welcome to detroit will feature a blend of jay dee’s unique hip hop and r&b productions, as well as left field twisted instrumentals and jam sessions. a perfect fusion for this phenomenon who is a dj, musician, jazz enthusiast and the hardest working hip - hop producer in the world today.

james -j dilla / jay dee- yancey leaves behind an impression on hip hop that will last the test of time. a bridge between hip hop’s underground and mainstream, dilla’s contributions ranged from single handedly defining detroit hip hop as a founding member of slum village to providing his production talents to common, d’angelo, busta rhymes, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, the pharcyde, the roots, janet jackson and macy gray.
