Indie Exclusive * John Illa J Yancey, younger brother of late, great genius producer James Yancey (aka Jay Dee, J Dilla), is currently completing his debut album for Delicious Vinyl. With the multi-talented Illa J rhyming and singing over a treasure trove of previously untouched Jay Dee gems, the project represents both a full-circle collaboration and a whole new beginning in the story of the musically exceptional Yancey brothers. When Jay Dee passed away from complications relating to lupus in February 2006, he left behind an extraordinary legacy of production work, including hits for Common, Janet Jackson, and Busta Rhymes. One mother lode of previously untouched beats dates from his time working on the Pharcydes sophomore album Labcabincalifornia (1995). As DV owner and founder Michael Ross explains, From 95 through 98 Jay Dee was my go-to guy for hot beats and remixes. He was always making beats, always. So there was a select amount of tracks that he composed for me during that time, tracks as good as anything hed done, only they never got used. When I finally met Illa J last year, I gave him a CD containing those unreleased beats. It was a case of pure serendipity, since 21-year-old Illa J had just relocated to Los Angeles and constructed a studio built around Jay Dees own recording equipment, dubbing it Yancey Boy Studios in tribute to their fraternal bond. Dilla was twelve years older than me, Illa J says. So back in the day in Detroit I was just a little kid, sitting on the stairs in our house, watching him make those first beats for Slum Village. So I always felt my brothers tracks and had an instinct for what I wanted to do over them. When Illa J set to work in early 2008 on recording the album, the project flowed quickly as he entered the proverbial cant-miss zone. As Illa J says, One of the things I learned from my brother is that you dont get that much time, so make the most of it. Thats why Ive decided to dedicate my life to doing what I love: music. To work with Delicious, the label that released those hits my brother made with The Pharcyde (Runnin and Drop) is really special. Michael Ross says, Illa J can write, sing, play instruments and rap. Not just a little bit of each, hes really the complete package! And anyone who loves Jay Dees music is going to flip out when they hear what Illa Js been laying down. For over a decade these beats have been waiting in the vault for this moment. Its like Jay Dee made these tracks with an extrasensory purpose, so that Illa J could make this album. There is no question that this is exactly what they were meant for. These beats belong to Illa J, theyre his birthright, and I really believe Jay Dee would be proud of what his brother is doing.

Indie Exclusive * BRAD, which featured Stone Gossard (of Pearl Jam) and Shawn Smith (of Satchel and Pigeonhed), reissue is a classic from 1993. This 30th Anniversary album has been remastered. Recorded in October 1992 in 17 days at Avast Recording in Seattle Washington. featuring soft, nocturnal rock, giddy rhythms and glossy funk jams. Smith is an unusual vocalist even without the grunge influences of Brads circle of friends, like Gossard and Jeff Aments Green River or Regan and Andrew Woods Malfunkshun, Smiths honeyed falsetto starts to sound like the song of another species altogether.

Indie Exclusive * First Time on Vinyl! * First establishing himself as an influential poet, and then as an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams then went on to establish himself as an MC. His approach to MCing, though, wasn't exactly in line with the traditional school of hip-hop. His rhymes weren't really rhymes but rather his poetry delivered in a frenzied spoken word manner that was more rhythmic than alliterate. This is his second album with guests like Zach de la Roca and members from Mars Volta. 2004.

Indie Exclusive * 50th Anniversary Edition * When Jodorowsky wanted, in his words, another kind of musicsomething that wasnt entertainment, something that wasnt a show, something that went to the soul, something profound, for the soundtrack to The Holy Mountain, jazz legend Don Cherry and crack studio musician (and one-time member of the Archies) Ron Frangipane came forward to share composing and, along with Jodorowsky, conducting duties. The result was a score that is every bit as hallucinatory as the fantastic visual imagery in the film itself. A cornucopia of musical styles that range from deep, primordial chants, to sitar folk melodies, to blaring orchestral riffs and romantic string arrangements provide the perfect aural accompaniment to a film that follows the philosophical and spiritual journey of its protagonist.
