Mayer Hawthorne - No Strings (DJ Jazzy Jeff "Roller Boogie" Remix)

Just found this dope remix of the Mayer Hawthorne and Classixx collabo, that has already been posted, by none other than the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff. While known more for his work in hip hop, especially with one Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff is no stranger to soul and disco, as his amazing set at the Do-Over will testify to. So throw it on your itunes, strap on some skates* and boogie away to this awesome remix. And its not even Saturday yet!

Donut Shop

Fresh out the fryer, are some new donuts from the god himself, James Yancey Dilla. Well fresh to the internet at least, the man unfortunately passed away nearly 4 years ago. However due to the reportedly vast archives of unreleased material he amassed, Stones Throw have seen fit to collaborate with Serato Records to put out a few unheard tracks along with some of his more famous instrumentals from the past few years including the one for Q-Tips awesome track (and video) Move.


You can cop these new Donuts by clicking HERE and while you're at it, head over to Pitchfork to read and listen to a surprisingly good summary of Dilla's legacy and the reasons behind his enduring idolation and influence.

Also of note is the Timeless series that has been done in his honour, entitled "Suite for Ma Dukes" (his mother). These orchestral interpretations are simply amazing, capturing the heart and soul of the originals. Do try to track down both the videos and purchase the EP.


J Dilla was a producer who never truly received his due while he was alive, but his music will continue not only to speak for itself, but inspire others long after he is gone. RIP Dilla.
