new j dilla album, mixed and arranged by pete rock

15. März 2009 BNCKD

“Jay Stay Paid!” about to drop this june…

By now most everyone is familiar with the story of musical legend J Dilla. The quiet, prolific producer collaborated with everyone from Eryka Badu to Common to Janet Jackson to Prince. Dilla was just beginning to capitalize on his cult status when he sadly passed at age 32 due to Lupus-related complications. Jay Stay Paid is a 25 track collection of unreleased Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock. While mostly instrumental, “J$P” also offers a few guests vocals from artists that Dilla worked with or admired including Black Thought of The Roots, MF DOOM, and M.O.P.

Curtailing any notion of jumping on some sort of Dilla bangwagon, Jay Stay Paid was executive produced by Dilla’s mother Maureen Yancey (aka Ma Dukes) along with the musical supervision of Dilla’s only real musical idol, Pete Rock. “It wasn’t rushed and it wasn’t haphazard,” explains Ms Yancey. “This album combines what he did in the beginning of his career, what he did in some of our early hospital stays, which was very deep, and some stuff pulled from old floppy disks & DATs. Its mind blowing…this is like the missing links to Dilla’s legacy.”

The format of the album plays like a radio show with Pete Rock as the program director. With regards to Pete’s involvement, Ms. Yancey gets very excited, “Dilla wanted to pattern himself behind Pete. His dream was to become as close as possible to what Pete stood for. Pete meant everything to him. Dilla would have just been flabbergasted! ” Pete’s sentiments were the same toward Dilla, “Dude was amazing. He just kinda came outta nowhere and the more you heard his beats the better they got. He may not be here with us, but it’s all good we’re going to keep his music alive and well.”

In the late 80s, Dilla founded the seminal rap group Slum Village and put Detroit hip-hop on the map, while the 90’s saw him playing a major role in the production team The Ummah with Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad doing extensive work on Tribe Called Quest’s last two albums.

Jay Stay Paid will be released on June 2nd on Nature Sounds.

Ritornell - Golden Solitude

14. März 2009 Feux

Ritornell - Golden Solitude is out now on the lovely label Karaoke Kalk!

It’s available in the Formats CD and LP at all usual stores like Amazon, Boomkat, HMV, A Number Of Small Things, etc.. and as a digital download at Itunes, Zero-Inch, Beatport, Whatpeopleplay, etc.. The nicest shops are: A Number Of Small Things, Boomkat, Itunes, Zero-Inch

Of course you can also get a copy at one of Ritornell’s next concerts:

Ritornell. Live

What Boomkat says about Golden Solitude:
“Ritornell is the duo of Richard Eigner and Roman Gerold, two Austrian
composers from specialising in different yet wholly complimentary
disciplines. Gerold is a trained jazz pianist whereas Eigner has
established himself as a sound artist, having also contributed some drums
to Patrick Wolf’s last album, Magic Position. Golden Solitude - the duo’s
debut album - arrives with a following that includes avant-techno maven
Cristian Vogel and underground Canadian director Bruce LaBruce, who used a
track from the album on his latest film Otto, or, Up With Dead People. The
music that makes up Golden Solitude combines lavish electronics (working
with both beats and more esoteric textures) with more naturalistic jazz
combo aesthetics, embracing meticulously recorded acoustic drums, bass and
horns without being too reverent. ‘Catch & Kiss’ is content to shatter the
source material into glitches and stutters, just about preserving the
rich, smokey instrumental timbres whilst ensuring a shock of modernity
runs throughout the piece. While comparisons to groups like Dictaphone
seem fairly natural, the film noir qualities of ‘Dissapearing City’ takes
Ritornell into knowingly loungey territory, only to be hastily subverted
by granular sound collages like ‘Naked’ and the piano-based micro-drone of
the Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto-alike ‘Nina’. Recommended.”
