In Loving Memory Of James Yancey

As we approach the one year anniversary of *J Dilla’s* (R.I.P.) death,
we’d like to take a moment of silence in remembrance.

And then we’d like to let you know about all of the tribute nights
around the world where you can hear his works in the appropriate
environment with the right people. If you missed Monday’s tribute at
APT (NYC) with *Spinna* and *Waajeed* of the Platinum Pied Pipers – which was a complete success despite the 10 degree weather – you can catch *Pharoahe Monch* throwin’ it down / Donuts
/ style with *DJ Akalepse, DJ Scratch, Nicole Nelch* and *DJ Soul* among others at the Galapagos Art Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the date of his passing (2.10). In a few hours, a tribute will be held in Cologne, Germany at a venue called Subway. Los Angeles gets its choice of tributes this Saturday with Funky Sole hosted by Stones Throw’s *Egon, Miles* and *Cut Chemist* at Star Shoes and Nightlife: J Dilla Edition with *The Beat Junkies* and *Rakaa of Dilated Peoples* at the Knitting Factory. Next week, there’s one in Chicago

(2.14), and one in Denver (2.16) at Milk Bar. The tribute nights don’t
end with these, though.
