As far as production legends go, Dilla is one of the most feted in the hip-hop & R&B world. His sample-delic work is some of the funkiest, freshest & most groovesome in the history of contemporary black music, it's a damn shame he isn't here to add his stamp of approval to this buzzing Serato endorsed release. The unreleased instrumental cuts here are of the usual high quality but I think it's the serato scratch technology on the flip of each vinyl that will get the collectors hot under the collar, not to mention the colourful slipmats to adorn your technics with. Phil was moaning that they didn't look as good in "real life"? What? You mean they don't look like real donuts that you can eat you big foody plonker!! A nice set for the enthusiasts & the forward-thinking DJ in your life....
Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, ‘Donut Shop’. Two discs with six J Dilla tracks, two sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and two ‘Donut Shop’ slipmats in an amazing badass gatefold package designed by Studio No.1. The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – ‘Safety Dance’, ‘Sycamore’, ‘Bars & Twists’ – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla's production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla's ‘Donuts’, ‘The Shining’ and ‘Ruff Draft’ albums. Super-limited pressing.
