Beat Konducta, Volume 6: Dil Withers Suite

A dusty, soulful eulogy composed of fragmented loops and Detroit-inspired swing. Madlib pays tribute to J Dilla through twenty short-form beat sketches.

October 2008

A soulful, hazy eulogy that finds warmth in the crackle of old records and the memory of a lost friend.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, sharp transition into the unquantized swing of Detroit Playaz (Gator Walk) that feels like a physical lean.

The way the vocal loop in Lifetime (Lifeline) seems to breathe in and out through layers of tape hiss.

The brief, poignant silence of J.B. and J.D. (Interlude) serving as a spiritual bridge between two production legends.
