Most excellent – the kind folk at Stones Throw have reupped this classic mix by J-Rocc of Dilla and Madlib’s Champion Sounds tracks.

“The year was 2003. J Dilla and Madlib had just wrapped up their album Champion Sound, recording as Jaylib, with Dilla then still in Detroit and Madlib doing all his work from his bomb shelter studio in Los Angeles. J Rocc – who would later become the third member of Jaylib, on the turntables for each of the shows the guys did together – put together this mixtape of Dilla, Madlib and Jaylib songs, as well as some of their sources, essentially telling the story of this group.

We had some promo copies of this CD floating around for a while that year, then took the Jaylib section and pressed it on a 45, which was released as the bonus 45 with Champion Sound. Both the CD and 45 are long out of stock.

The photos were taken by B+ of Madlib in his studio in L.A. and Dilla in his in Detroit, and also came up with the concept for this packaging: a cutout photo sleeve with a second sleeve inside, juxtaposing the photos of Madlib and Dilla.” – via Stones Throw

“Ras G is a commanding force in Los Angeles and a classic example of what artistry is. Always pushing his production limits and bending his sound to a point that really make you believe he’s from outer space. His live shows have a reputation of blowing out sound systems and shaking walls to the point of deterioration. This exclusive set for BTS is only a taste of the destruction he can bring to speakers…” – via Moovmnt

Londoner Jonathan Moore aka Leftside Wobble delivers the Dubhousedisco with this mix featuring some tuff slinky floor fillers.

“First mix of 2010 is a revisit to Acid Soul. This is probably as close as I get to a definitive Leftside Wobble selection (joining the dots between dub, funk, disco & house). It’s a mid tempo affair (part 3 follows next week which moves into peak time territory) and includes an absolute stunner from 2020SoundSystem (superb remix by Ray Mang).” – Jonathan Moore

“This disc is one of the rarest Massive Attack promo discs in existence. There were only 200 copies produced and each is numbered. This disc was only given out free to the first 200 patrons of the Nocturne club in Bristol on the night of the 12th March 2002. It was the third in the series of such very limited releases from Nocturne to feature exclusive one track mixes from well-known DJ’s and musicians from Bristol. This particular one was mixed by 3D and offers a interesting look at some of his favourite songs over the years and a few, what were at the time, exclusive Massive Attack tracks…” via A North Country Bhoy (great blog)
