Just received the latest video from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble featuring LA based and Brainfeeder artist, Flying Lotus. Alongside the all-star cast of musicians, they do their rendition of “Drips” from Flying Lotus’s recently released album Cosmogramma and “Take Notice,” an arrangement of a J Dilla original from his Ruff Draft EP. You might be familiar with this arrangement of “Take Notice” from Mochilla’s “Timeless” DVD Box Set, specifically from the Suite for Ma Dukes portion. If you haven’t ordered the Timeless DVD box set featuring Suite for Ma Dukes its a definitely a worthy purchase.

We’re huge fans of Robert Glasper here at Potholes. You may recall the J Dilla tribute from his album In My Element. I recently came across this tribute track which is a rework of Busta Rhymes – “Show Me What You Got” off his album, Anarchy. J Dilla produced that track which samples Stereolab’s “Come And Play In The Milky Night”. “Dilla Shine” features vocals by Zynzelay to give a soulful and melodic interpretation to an already solid song. Robert Glasper will be releasing an outtake compilation soon. We’ll keep you updated once we hear more on that project. Please give this a spin and let us know what you think. [via]

Suite for Ma Dukes, as those who have seen it can attest, is one of the more moving concert films I have seen. It’s nearly impossible to not get chills or goosebumps while viewing the DVD, especially on tracks like “Untitled/Fantastic”. So I suppose it’s only fitting that the ever-eclectic and productive Georgia Anne Muldrow decided to tackle the orchestrated version of “Untitled/Fantastic”. The remix will be found on the Timeless Remixed EP due out this summer and set to feature Te’Amir remixing Multatu Astatke and Jneiro Jarel remixing Arthur Verocai. In other words, be sure to keep your eyes (and ears) open for that EP, as it’s already sounding great from this track alone.

Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. This will be released May 10th (the day after Mother’s day–what’s up Ma Dukes?). Pre-order is available now.  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.
