Message From The Tribe
In the early 1970's, Detroit was a city carrying with it the musical legacy of Motown as well as the title Motor City as one of the USA's main car manufacturing centres. But, by 1970, Motown had moved to Los Angeles and the city's car industry was in decline leaving Detroit in a cultural and industrial void.
Out of this wasteland came Tribe. Over a five year period a group of creative jazz musicians from Detroit took control of their own lives by running their own label, Tribe Records, where they proudly put forward the message:
"Music us the healing force of the Universe"
Picked this up earlier in the week - one of those rare, almost flawless records that just gets you..... encapsulating this amazing 1970's sound through free jazz // spiritual // soul // bebop // modal // Detroit funk // groove // & more....
Nice packaging too - the CD comes in the new Soul Jazz box-case with a 60 page-mini-Tribe magazine, while the double pack vinyl includes a very limited edition free Tribe magazine
As deep as you like, can't recommend this one enough, make sure you get it!!

the illest
13 years ago to the day, the passing of the greatest rapper of all time - Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997) aka Biggie aka Biggie Smalls aka Frank White aka The Notorious B.I.G
It was all a dream
Biggie Smalls changed my life
It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born filla, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood
It's all good...
and if you don't know, now you know....

Re-edit Suite pt.1 - Fall in Love
February 10th this year marked the 6th anniversary of a legend passing - James Dewitt Yancey aka J Dilla.
There have been many tributes from the music community, such was his influence, cementing deserved recognition as one of the true great producers of hip-hop, if not the greatest.
Released in mid 2009 via Mochilla Records was the brilliant "Suite for Ma Dukes" - Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson choosing to pay tribute to J Dilla by interpreting his music in a contemporary chamber music style.
I remember first hearing this record on Gilles Peterson's Radio One show and thinking WOW !! - Niño & Atwood-Fergusons beautifully interpretted arrangements of some of Dilla's finest beats are simply incredible....
Anyways, so inspirational was the music that I decided to re-edit the tracks.... and attempted to re-create the trademark Dilla sound - drum grooves, drops, & classic arrangement - that appeared on the originals of these records over the chamber style instrumentals.
Until now, there's only been a couple of low quality mp3's online with a few sneaky copies floating about..... but now they're available via my Soundcloud for a strictly limited time only!
There are two more in the re-edit series that'll be up soon - check back here / via twitter / subscribe via RSS / Soundcloud for the heads up link....
