February: A Rest In Beats Tribute To the Sounds of J Dilla & Nujabes

About The Release

On this tribute record, Funky DL veers away from intense sampling, avoiding the same breaks as used by Dilla & Nujabes - but instead the inclusion of some incredible jazz pianists bring this fabulously musical, creative and jazzy tribute album to life. As Funky DL's intention was to capture the essence and soulful connection of what they 'both' brought to music lovers around the world, DL carefully hand- selected each track from the catalogues of these two legends and crafted as elegant of a representation as he could to showcase a further progression into the wealth of ideas from Dilla and Nujabes; but taking them that one step further and going beyond the usual restrictions of using only the contents of original samples. This album is certain to bring back the nostalgia of the classics that each track was born from, as well as offering an entirely new audio perspective. The fans of both J Dilla and Nujabes will be pleasantly surprised.
