Producers We Love :: Mad Mats - Top 10 Dilla productions (a dedication to the suckers!)

We recently came across this nice collection of some Dilla's bangers put together by Mad Mats called, Top 10 Dilla productions (a dedication to the suckers!) What better way to get Monday moving than pumping some Dilla beats. 

J Dilla's influence on music and the musicians who carry on his legacy is undeniable and will hopefully carry on forever. Listening to his music brings us joy, gets our bodies moving and our soul flying. He was a true master of his craft who left loads of incredible music to be discovered and cherished before his untimely and unfortunate passing at the age of 32.

Blue Note Records remixed by Mark de Clive-Lowe

Armed with a crateful of classics from Blue Note Records’ genre-defining years, Mark de Clive-Lowe has created a live-remix mixtape weaving from jazz to hip hop classics, to underground house and broken beat. Recorded and improvised live in one take, MdCL deploys his drum machine, sample pads, rhodes and keyboards on-the-fly bringing unique perspective to moments created decades earlier by the likes of Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, and Donald Byrd. From reminiscing samples that we fell in love with through A Tribe Called Quest and J Dilla, to reimagining sax great Joe Henderson riding a broken-afro electronic frenzy, MdCL paints his own vision of what Blue Note means to him.

With guest cameos from rappers Bambu, John Robinson and Illa J, Inglewood CA- singer Nia Andrews, bass master Pino Palladino and rare collaborations with infamously elusive saxophonist Nomad Pendergrass
