Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. This will be released May 10th (the day after Mother’s day–what’s up Ma Dukes?). Pre-order is available now. The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla’s Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums.

Noisemakers | PETE ROCK

Pete Rock joins Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg for Noisemakers’ latest conversation with house band The Noize paying tribute to his music. Pete Rock’s impeccable recording, producing and remixing career is one of the most distinguished in rap history, and includes collaborations with Nas, Common, Mary J. Blige, Ghostface Killa, Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy and Run-DMC. Pete made a name for himself as part of the seminal group, Pete Rock and CL Smooth during the early 1990s, producing the classic albums Mecca and the Soul Brother and The Main Ingredient. It was also during that period that Pete Rock emerged as the premier remixer in the urban music industry; his horn-driven work on Public Enemy’s “Shut Em Down” made him a remix phenomenon. Pete Rock has released a string of highly regarded solo albums, including 1998’s Soul Survivor 2004’s Soul Survivor II and most recently 2008’s NY’s Finest. www.92YTribeca.org/Talks

Christopher B — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:18:24 +0000

During my Tweets Is Watching: B.I.G. Edition I sparked a conversation between “A Story To Tell” producer Buck Wild & Matt Fingaz. It was through their back and forth tweeting that I discovered what some industry vets know, that “A Story To Tell’ was almost the greatest story never told, no Saigon. Here’s a few of the tweets that were exchanged.
