Der Londoner DJ BobaFatt hat diesen Mix ursprünglich aufgenommen, um eine Tribute-Sendung anlässlich der Verfügbarkeit des Back-Catologues von De La Soul auf den gängigen Streaming-Diensten zu zelebrieren.

Zwischen der originalen Aufnahme und dem Sendetermin verstarb David Jude Jolicoeur aka Trugoy the Dove. BobaFatt hat den fertigen Mix nochmal editiert und vor zwei Tagen veröffentlicht. ein sehr guter Mix!

Die Tracklist findet Ihr weiter unten.

This mix was originally made to celebrate the reissues of De La’s back-cat, and broadcast on BBC 6 Music a month ahead of the March 3rd release date.

Just over a week after this mix was broadcast, Dave, aka Trugoy the Dove, aka Plug Two, tragically passed away. A few weeks before release.

The first half of this is the original 40-minute version of the broadcast mix.
A 27-minute edit was broadcast Saturday 4th Feb 2023, for the Block Party mix on The Huey Show.

The second half is a bonus 40-minute selection of 15 more faves – tracks that I feel needed time to breath; some that felt a bit dark for Saturday morning radio, and a few where Dave’s bars hit a little more poignantly now. A bittersweet time.

Recorded Saturday 4th March 2023, the day after De La day.

Salutes to Posdnuos, Maseo, Prince Paul & the Native Tongues.
Rest in power, Dave.

De La Soul forever.
Stay Plug Tunin’.

Dedicated to Dave Jolicoeur & Don Newkirk.
