[DJ Mix] House Shoes Presents… Constellations: The A to Z of Dennis Coffey
MP3 Stream (no download): Constellations – The A to Z of Dennis Coffey: A Mix By House Shoes by Strut
New mix by one of the keepers of the J. Dilla legacy, DJ House Shoes. Read on for what it’s all about:
“Leading up to the foundational Motor City guitarist’s new self-titled solo album, Detroit’s own House Shoes takes us on a journey through Dennis Coffey‘s history of funk. Including the psychedelic b-boy soul of Coffey’s 70’s solo material, classic recordings on which he recorded as a sessions musician, hip-hop cuts which have sampled his material, and even a couple of sneak peaks at the new album’s music, Constellations is 45 minutes of straight heat, mixed by a master DJ intimately acquainted with Coffey’s legacy, and his future.”
This mix was recorded by Rhetmatic at Soundmatic.

[DJ Mix] DJ M-Rock – The Best of Nate Dogg

The second installment in the M-Rock Best of Series Mixtapes: The Best of Nate Dogg.
“This week’s M-Rock Mondays [ed note: yes, I’m a tad late!] is a tribute to the best of probably the greatest hook vocalist in hip-hop. Nate Dogg had made his mark as a legend and main ingredient in the game the first time we heard him on “Ain’t No Fun” off of the classic album, Doggystyle. He’s “that dude who can make you cry even though he’s singing about putting his balls in somebody’s mouth!”. Listening to his music all over again reminds me of how flawless his voice was, his songwriting and how essential he was in making a song a banger whether it’s for the club or something smooth like “Regulate” or “Never Leave Me Alone”. Ice Cube said “it must be a single if Nate Dogg’s on it”, and rumour has it that “Oh No” (his single w/ Mos Def, Pharaoh Monche) has a record for the highest vinyl rap singles sold. Being a DJ who plays a bit of T-Pain and autotune-made music, it gives me a special appreciation to hear how much of a natural pitch-perfect singer Nate was – even his youtube freestyles give the impression that he did not rely on sound engineering the way today’s singers do. This tape was a rush compared to my Best of Kanye West mixtape, but my skills are still sharp on it. Enjoy. RIP Nathaniel Dwayne Hale.”

[DJ Mix] DJ Steve1der – Nate in ’08
This mix was done well before Nate Dogg‘s passing (in 2008, d’uh) so you know it was done out of true love and not in an exploitative way to cash in on the hype around his untimely passing, plus it was recommended by my good friend DJ Duane whose taste I respect implicitly so if he’s cosigning something, I’ma get at it like stat! Here’s the science:
“Here is my Ode to Nate the Great. Damn I miss hearing Nate on new music, Dr. Dre even got a fake Nate on “Kush”. Anywho I did miss a few key joints like his St. Ides commercial, but think I captured Nate’s essence w/ this Mix. Enjoy….”
