Spklss Playlist April 2013

I’ve decided to put some mixes/track selections online, for you to discover some fine new (or old) music I’ve been digging into, and for me to get going with DJ’ing a bit more. This first one is a selection from my personal playlist, basically the stuff I’ve been listening to and enjoying over the past month, all “genres” included. Hopefully you’ll find something you’ll enjoy, or something you haven’t heard before that inspires you to dig further! That’s what this is all about.

Anyway, enough talk, first one is right here, with plenty of Jazz and Soul, some Ambient/Soundtrackish stuff, a sprinkle of 90’s Hip-Hop that I just couldn’t leave out… Enjoy and Keep Digging!

Happy Birthday Jay Dee!

Today would have been James Dewitt Yancey (aka Jay Dee, or J Dilla)’s 39th birthday. Dilla was arguably one of the most influential and respected Hip-Hop producers, and has become somewhat of a legend among beatmakers and Hip-Hop aficionados, myself included.

Here’s a playlist I put together with some of his works for your listening pleasure. It’s by no means complete, I still need to add a lot of stuff and I will update it on a regular basis. Set to shuffle and enjoy!
