Since the early days of J*DaVeY we’ve a fan of the sexy duo Jack Davey & Brook D’Leau from Los Angeles. Their “The Beauty in Distortion” bootleg album was on heavy rotation in ‘08 and still soothes our speakers on the regular.
We wanted to share one of our favorite tracks entitled “You Are” because it’s just that sultry and sexy! Shop J*DaVeY right here..

Free Download: DJ Turne - Turne It Up (Dillalicious Mix Vol.1)
DJ Turne from Amsterdam finished this classic J Dilla mix on the day before Jay Dee died in 2006. Coincidence or faith…who knows? This mix contains fantastic blends and a great song selection. It pretty much covers the whole Yancey spectrum up to 2006 so hands down for Turne (http://twitter.com/djturne).
Download the entire mix here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ei3gp8v66sf3x1p

BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Stories - Gone Too Soon, J Dilla
via http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016g2c2:
“It’s a name you might not recognise - but you’ll certainly know his music… James Dewitt Yancey, Jay Dee or more commonly known as J Dilla, is one of hip hop’s most influential producers and artists, but his genius was cut short at 32 after battling the incurable blood disease, lupus.
As part of the Gone Too Soon series, Benji B presents this 1Xtra story celebrating the incredible music J Dilla created during his lifetime which includes tracks for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, The Pharcyde and De La Soul to name but a few.
Through interviews with Plug 2 from De La Soul, Mos Def, Questlove from The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, J.Rocc, Slum Village members T3 and Wajeed, his brother Illa J and his incredible mum, Ma Dukes, we learn about how he made those beats, what he was like as a person and the legacy he left behind. Benji also pays his own tribute to the man he knew for almost ten years and is his favourite producer of all time.”

Free Download: Charlie Peters - Searching for James River
via http://soundcloud.com/moovmnt/:
I asked Charlie Peters if we could put this up for everyone to enjoy and he was down to give away another 1000 free downloads. Music like this should be shared!
Charlie Peters, also known as Easy Lee, is a poet, author, and recording artist. Born in New Orleans, he later moved to San Antonio, TX, and now resides in Atlanta, GA. He recently made this incredible demo called ‘Searching For James River’ produced by George ‘G.P.’ Pettus. It features clips of a rare interview with R&B/Soul singer D’Angelo. This song was not made to promote an album or profit the poet. It was made to respond to countless conversations soul music fans have about music, art, legends, and demons. Enjoy and pass it along! (btw … found this interview a while back digging thru some Swedish soul site. Held on to it until it fit)
