Music: DJ Mehdi – Loukoums (A Tribute to J Dilla)

Pete Williams — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:00:58 +0000

Loukoums was DJ Mehdi’s homage to J Dilla, created in 2006, pressed on around 200 CDs by Ed Banger Records for friends. Busy P posted it this morning for all to enjoy. DJ Mehdi, rest in peace. (ST)

“Based on the DONUTS album concept, these are demos, out-takes and unreleased gems from various records I worked on before and during the making of LUCKY BOY, my next album. Stuff comes from MEGALOPOLIS, 113 DEGRES and SHEITAN soundtrack mainly, but some is older too. Hope you enjoy these rough mixes and un-polished sounds, as I pay hommage to ‘one of the greatest minds to ever make beats,’ Mr James Yancey, better known as JAY DEE, also know as DILLA.” – Mehdi, 2006
