1LP Vinyl HNR60

Down in picturesque Auckland, New Zealand, tucked in a small basement studio, musician Leonard Charles & friends paid tribute to Dilla’s landmark release by re-recording the entire 31-track album on live instruments. Charles gives the tracks a modern funk reinterpretation on live bass, drums, clavinet, Rhodes & synths sans any sampling of the original source or sourced material. Featuring vocals by Anji Toy, Adi Dick, Ruby Walsh and Georgia Anne Muldrow on the emotional tribute “Airworks (Forever)”.
