Serato & Stones Throw release J Dilla's Donut Shop
Posted on 29 June, 2010
Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. A limited edition Serato Pressing containing 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Kristian Henson for Studio No.1.
Stones Throw General Manager Eothen "Egon" Alapatt says of the pressing, “This release, which compiles previously unreleased and in at least two instances, previously unknown J.Dilla instrumentals, came directly from the late producer’s files. Assembled by Dilla’s long-time DJ J.Rocc, mixed and mastered by affiliate Dave Cooley, and released through the J.Dilla Estate on Pay Jay Recordings, this Stones Throw Records-distributed release is the only official J.Dilla release done through Pay Jay since 2003’s Ruff Draft EP.”
Serato and Stones Throw are dedicating all proceeds from sales to J Dilla's mother, Ma Dukes and his immediate family, who have been battling legal issues over J Dilla's estate since he passed away in 2006.
