The Jazz Jousters - The Chet Baker Tribute EP

'Almost Blue’ is an EP in tribute to the great Chet Baker from the members of Millennium Jazz’s online community that is the Jazz Jousters group. With their shared love of Jazzhop and Jazz orientated music the group was inspired by Chet Baker’s ‘Almost Blue’ and decided to have a lab off session using the classic song as a sample.

The project features versions from the likes of international beatsmiths such as, Mr. Moods, DRTYDRDZ, Joe Davies, Blue Buttonz, Gadget & B 3 N B I who all bring various ingredients and leave us with this flavorful little dish on the table for the taking.

‘Almost Blue’ is the first and probably not the last mass collaboration project to come from the Jazz Jousters group as this was a result of only a small number of their community of musicians, poets, emcees, Dee Jays, producers and music lovers.

R.I.P Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988

Root Down Tribute to MCA by Conan Liquid

Words by Conan Liquid...

For all those who know me personally, you know that I started out as a Hip Hop DJ and producer in the mid 80s. The Beastie Boys were a massive influence on me as a DJ, a person, producer and writer. With the untimely death of MCA last week I wanted to pay tribute in the only way I know how. Remix some old Beastie Boys. Here is the first of my tributes to MCA and a welcome return to my Hip Hop roots. Downloadable for those who want to play it out or PLAY IT LOUD.

DJ A.Gee (Rapshack) - Guru We Miss You Mixtape 2

A tribute to one of Hip Hop's slickest and smoothest rappers known to live. The mixtape includes tracks from his Rap group, Gang Starr, his collaborations with Jazz and Soul legends, his solo work and some interview snippets. This is for the lovers of Boom Bap Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul and for those of you that want to learn a piece of history. This mix was mixed live using no computers in the edit of the final piece. - A.Gee / @A_Gee_

R.I.P Vincent Sotelo aka V.I

I just heard the sad news that my old friend and brother, Vincent Sotelo aka V.I passed away on Monday 5th April 2010, due to health problems. This brother, Son and Father was a very talented and well respected Hip Hop artist and producer from Oxnard, CA, USA who I was lucky enough to work with on several occasions since we met at least ten years ago.

V.I was a good and generous friend who always had my back and supported me whether I needed him to vocal or produce tracks. We also helped each other to network in our own countries and get our names out to the UK, US and most recently France with tracks like ‘Oh Yeah’ feat Gadget & Joe Gutta produced by V.I released one HHB Radio vol1, ‘Ancient Structures’ ft V.I, Gadget & Suicyde produced and released by The Specialists (North Carolina), not to mention ‘Sex, Drugs, Lust and Play’ ft V.I, Gadget and Jabba Tha Kut ..where V started the unshakable stigma by calling me the UK Nate Dogg *KMT*

I consider myself lucky to have known V, my only regret is that I didn’t take him up on his invite to fly over to stay with him and his family in California and have a jam session on the MPC’s, an ASR PRO and possibly an SP1200. My thoughts goes out to the Sotelo family, may they all find their peace in time. Respect to all who are still bumping V.I music (word to 8bza G), beats ...lord knows there’s a lot of it.
If needed see links below for V.I material and experimental work.

Rest In Peace bredrin… I’ll be missing our talks when insomnia strikes!!
