  • DJ/crate digger/champion nerd Mr Thing geeks out about the day he came across the sample Dilla used for Phat Kat's 'Cold Steel' beat.
    This is an outtake from the mini-doc 'Nothing Leaves The House' produced for First Word Records 2014 Record Store Day release where Mr Thing invited Eric Lau, Tall Black Guy & Kidkanevil to dig his epic personal collection for samples, resulting in an exclusive double 7inch. See the original doc here...

    Blew my mind. Literally used a vocal sample, a couple notes of chords, and that hit at the beginning of the B-side track. He basically used three elements and combined them to make one of his hardest, and IMHO, best beats. I’ll never get tired of discovering more and more from J Dilla - RIP

    Gainsborough Galley is the sampled band if anyone is curious. Hell of a find by dilla, not many pressed records for the album and completely obscure

    Brilliant stuff. I DJed with Phat Kat a few years back and he said they called Dilla “the alien” because he’d start making a beat, they’d leave the lab, ten minutes later he’d have a beat finished. (That’s how long it took Dilla to make the “Introducing Phat Kat” beat.) They figured he’d transform into some kind of alien while they were out of the room, make the beat, then turn back into human form again and get them back in 😂

    Don't recall listening to a single thing from J. Dilla, but shoutout to the Tiny Meat Gang and my fellow Cutlets for showing me this.

    Cold steel was always my go to when someone came with the 'but did he ever make grimey/street shit tho'. This is so great. Plus; thanks for NOT showing/sharing the name of the band or record. Nobody seems to know the code anymore. Or how much trouble sample snitching can create for producers or their family in Dilla's case.

      Probably panning it left/right. Haven't heard the record but a lot of late 60s stuff (when stereo was "new") can have the vocals panned hard to one side. Or the drums, sometimes the drums are open in one channel.
