I still can't believe that this man is gone because it always saddens me to think about Jay's passing. Jay Dee truly was a producer's producer, and no one will ever be able to top Dilla's abilities. I feel as though I am a very fortunate human being; experiencing and finding out about Dilla's music is truly one of the greatest things that has happened in my life. His music is something that I will always be able to confide in whether times are good or bad, and I thank him for that. For those of you fortunate enough to [...]

Mesmerising sombre Detroit techno at it's finest here from Claude Young, in our opinion one of the finest techno producers ever. I don't think he gets all the credit he deserves sometimes, whilst he's a legend in the eyes of many (mostly the heads) he does sometimes get overshadowed by Jeff Mills and the scenes old school 'heavyweights'. If you haven't been checking out his many many many amazing tunes - do so now san. DOWNLOAD
As you've all seen by having spent any time on this blog… Mayer Hawthorne (aka the other Mayo(e)r) is one of my favorite current musicians/acts/producers/djs. Here's a really cool track from Dennis Coffey - the man behind more hip hop samples than many. This Detroit guitar hero is indirectly responsible for many hip hop beats. He recently brought together a bunch of artists to remix/reinterpret his music for a free album called, Dennis Coffey Re-Worked. It's banging and you can download it for free here . All Your Goodies Are Gone - Dennis [...]
Jimmy Ness is neither related to Elliot nor Neutron. Boldy James has a love affair with the block. He sounds like Prodigy, flows like Curren$y and creates the kind of grimy tracks that most 90s rappers should return home to.The 29 year old bares his wounds and retells his days of struggle in a similar style to perennial gangsta poster boy Freddie Gibbs. Boldy's proud of his hood conquests and the small triumphs that come from making illegal dollars. But he's also unflinchingly honest in his failures. The Detroit native isn't playing [...]
Today marks the first day of Dilla month. Facebook, twitter, and any popular blog that you may be venturing out to check are also trying to put up their sickest tribute post ever. Even last year, Stones Throw had a video contest, and some of the participants made their own 'Dilla Tribute' to his songs . At this point in time, EVERYONE has either heard about him, or finally know who this famous producer is. Unfortunately, because of his untimely demise is the part of the reason why many (like myself, admittedly) knows of the [...]

One half of Crown Nation, Detroit spitter/producer Quelle Chris (@quellechris) does double duty as minimal synth one-man band Awesome in Outerspace and a zonked-out rap wonderkind with a lot to say for himself. His excellent album Shotgun and Sleek Rifle got substantial burn around these part. Since we already got him on the line for our "XXX" feature , we chopped it up on the subject of whiskey, musical chemistry and his production secrets. Follow along. - Aaron Matthews When was Shotgun and Sleek Rifle recorded? [...]
The irony in this post is the fact I literally haven't heard this 313 classic since iPods or YouTube came into existence. While chumming it up with the homie yesterday, [...]

Home is a strange place-a land we are inextricably tied to and associated with regardless of our feelings about it. Like family, we don't chose our home, yet it will always be a component of our identity. Boog Brown is an Atlanta girl, but she is originally from Detroit, and this track can be seen as more than just a low-fi, R&B ode to her hometown, but a mini-meditation on leaving home. So, when spouts lines like "Home is where the heart is, regardless of how dark it is, I represent," it's all said with a sense of nostalgic guilt [...]
![Ma Dukes aka Maureen Yancey talks about the J Dilla Foundation, the importance of the Arts, and new album 'Rebirth of Detroit' [Feature Interview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4017119_lg.jpg)
Just as J Dilla aka Jay Dee aka James Dewitt Yancey's music had magically appeared into my life, so had my connection with the J Dilla Foundation. It all started with a simple Facebook friend request from Marketing/Brand Manager Diana Boardley. I usually don't go through with random friend requests but this time I took a glance just to see what it was that brought this new person into my life. Upon clicking Diana's profile I noticed her affiliation with the J Dilla foundation and the rest is history. Eccentric: Hello Ma Dukes! Thank you for taking the [...]
Here's an icy, distant new deep house / " Detroit-future-murk " track from the insanely prolific Coyote Clean Up , taken from his forthcoming FROZEN SOLID tape, out soon on 100% Silk . The short teaser vid was shot by @icecoldchrissy himself at a glow-stick-infested rave in his hometown of Detroit:
Stacey Pullen is the Kosmik Messenger. The self-appointed ambassador of quality music is an innovator from the second wave of Detroit techno. Growing up under the mentorship of Detroit's legendary three: Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, Pullen learned from them, eventually became part of the Transmat/Metroplex/KMS team and released music on labels like Fragile, Elypsia, PlinkPlonk, Eclipse or R&S. Still continuing to produce his characteristic atmosphere laden electronic sound, Stacey Pullen compounds his reputation as a producer with that of being one of the world's most in demand DJs, playing weekly across the globe [...]

"Yeah, he's all right," Louis said. "I'm waiting there about two weeks in Brownsville, McAllen, finally I said fuck-it, I'm going home. But by then I didn't have any money for gas. So I said okay, I'll go out and pick melons for a few days, maybe a week. See, the only reason I was down there I was fucking desperate and this grass was gonna make it, get me a stake. So I sign up at a place, Stanzik Farms, go out and start picking and they call a strike. Actually the strike was going on and I was [...]
