Before his untimely death last year, Wayman Tisdale was ready to show the world a completely different side, one that was 12 years in making. With a not-so-hidden love of funk music, The Fonk Record featuring Tiz & The Fonkie Planetarians was a true passion project for Wayman. This digital DJ promo features five of the album’s eleven all-original songs, including “Let’s Ride,” a collaboration featuring George Duke, who wields his magic dukey stick on some hard-charging synthesizer solos, while Tisdale channels his best Larry

Blackmon of Cameo, and “This Fonk Is 4U” with the unmistakable vocals of George Clinton.

Some of today’s biggest recording artists and producers have joined together to celebrate the music of multi-Grammy winning producer, composer and arranger Quincy Jones by recording contemporary versions of popular recordings from his massive catalog for a new album entitled, Q: Soul Bossa Nostra. In this digital DJ promo, Ludacris, Naturally 7 and Rudy Currence (signed to DTP) give the title track “Soul Bossa Nostra” a hip hop revamp. Jones’ 1962 single was re-born as the Austin Powers theme song and sampled by Ludacris on his 2005 single “Number One Spot,” which garnered him a VMA.

Inspired by the burgeoning dub step scene and dub visionaries such as On-U Sound’s Adrian Sherwood and Mad Professor, the Easy Star All-Stars have compiled Dubber Side of the Moon (out October 26), the ultimate remix collection of their much lauded reggae smash Dub Side of The Moon. Each track features a unique dub producer exploring spaced-out reggae and bass-heavy remixes of the original Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae tribute to Pink Floyd’s iconic Dark Side of the Moon. In this digital DJ promo, the All-Stars’ resident soundman The Alchemist‘s interpretation of “Money” is a dub step bass bleeder. Kalbata‘s might be the most innovative mix on the album. Israeli born and signed to Soul Jazz Records, his mix merges the tech sound into dub-step. Boston’s mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant, Groove Corporation and Border Crossing also provide roots heavy remixes to the album.

The Dubber Side full-length also includes 4 bonus remixes (as well as 2 additional bonus tracks exclusive to the iTunes release).
