It’s been three weeks since I made my last blog post, and to be honest, it’s taking me a while to get back into the loop. Being isolated in Africa without any real internet access for extended periods of time isn’t always the best thing for someone who normally spends about 25 hours a day online. Anyway, here is the latest Stones Throw Podcast, which I am sure most of you are already aware of. While there have already been 60 incredible Podcasts before this, DJ Kutmh’s Throwing Stones seems to be one of my favorites, and that is saying a lot! You can download the mix and check out the fantastic tracklist after the skip, which features new and old goodness from the likes of Samiyam, Dibiase, Blu, Ras G, Alex B, Count Bass D, Flying Lotus, and much more! But regardless of all those awesome artists, what makes this Podcast so interesting is that it is mixed by DJ Kutmah, one of the acclaimed LA DJs who was recently detained and deported back to his native United Kingdom where he was able to craft this 50-minute musical explosion. You can read more about the detaining here.

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.
