"Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. This will be released May 10th (the day after Mother’s day–what’s up Ma Dukes?). Pre-order is available now.
The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla’s Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums."
This is a nice little package of Hiero/Souls goodies from Carhartt in the UK. That shirt is pretty clean.
"Introducing the Souls of Mischief x Carhartt Limited Edition Box-set. The package includes a copy of their 2010 album ‘Montezuma’s Revenge’ repackaged in a special black foil embossed housing & 8 page booklet, a Spring / Summer 2010 Master Shirt in Leather with breast embroidery, a Chenille Varsity Patch in Carhartt Duck Brown and a selection of A6 size foil stickers.
This Box-set is an edition of only 200 worldwide which we are officially dropping Monday 15th March at The Carhartt Store, Neal Street. Souls of Mischief themselves will be in attendance for a signing session from 7pm. See you there!"

I just got an email for the preview of the BarnStormers Group show at Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York. "The Barnstormers are a collective of New York/Tokyo-based artists who create large-scale collaborative paintings, films and performances."
The Barnstormers are:
Chulo, Che Jen, Daikon, David Ellis, Doze Green, Maya Hayuk, Kenji Hirata, Mike Houston, Che Jen, Kami, KR, Alex Lebedev, Madsaki, Martin Mazorra, Christian Mendoza, Mike Ming, Blust One, West One, Jose Parla, Stephen Powers, Rostarr, Sasu, Yuri Shimojo, South, Swoon, Chuck Webster, Kiku Yamaguchi, and documentarians Joey Garfield, Miyuki Pai Hirai, and Gion Yukio
It is a super legit collective of some really high ranking figures in the art world. My favorites are Doze Green, David Ellis, Stephen Powers, Swoon, and Parla.
David Ellis does these dope ass "Sound Sculptures" in addition to his paintings. One of them is featured on the cover of Verve remixed vol 3 and can be seen at his actual show in the picture below. I thought that he did the one for volume 4 but I think that it might have been done by Mikal Hameed, based on the pieces he has in the group show. I would totally cop that one from Verve 3, it's amazing, I would settle for a turntable tree though, I am not picky. Some of the tracks from Verve remixed will be on the next old person mix and one will be on an upcoming soul mix, check out that series though if you haven't heard of them. They get contemporary people to remix the old verve catalog, so if you ever wanted to hear a Postal Service remix of Billie Holiday, your wish has been granted. The RJD2 remix of Astrud Gilberto's "Gentle Rain" is a head nodder, maybe I will post it later.

Not sure about the chair ones, I don't really agree with taking away the functionality of the object, chairs you can't sit in isn't really my thing but it's pretty I guess.

And some concert news.
