"peace to the Queen." Seattle duo THEESatisfaction drops a spaced-out, psychedelic tribute to Dallas' own @fatbellybella, aka Erykah Badu. Catch the ladies on tour, including a stop in NYC on Thursday with our girl Njena Reddd Foxxx, and download/proceed to lounge out to the mixtape for free below...

This one's from a 12" box that Stones Throw put out in '08. It's sold out now, so they're giving this Madlib remix of Dilla's "The $" away for free: mp3:

Greenville, South Carolina's Hard Mix just sent over his latest mixtape, featuring some perfect late night jams from the likes of Burial, Bullion, Paul White, Club 8, Javelin, Dilla, and more (including a brand new one from Hard Mix himself). Download below, and check the full tracklist after the jump... mp3: Hard Mix :: The Chill World mixtape (53 mb)

mp3: Dilla flips "The Safety Dance." Taken from J Dilla: Donut Shop, out in May on Stones Throw. ******

We posted the video for Cibelle's tropicalia-psych-cabaret take on '50s exotica/electronic music OG Raymond Scott's "Lightworks" a few weeks back, and now she's hooked us up with the mp3. Check it below, along with the original and Dilla's classic version, and play all 3 at the same time for full psychedelic effect...

According to Stones Throw, Share My Bed = MJ + J Dilla. More coming soon. mp3: (via) *******

Stones Throw is offering a free download of "Sacrifice," one of the better tracks from Madlib's Beat Konducta Vol. 5 + 6: a Tribute to J Dilla, which we spoke very highly of late last year. mp3: *********

"DOOM originally recorded "One Beer" over a beat which had just been used by J Dilla on Jaylib's track "No Games." Madlib made this remix of the song, "One Beer (Drunk Version)" and burned the only copy to a CD, which then went missing in his chaotic and cluttered studio...

Nowhere near as good as the Dilla-produced, Moroder-sampling original (which is one of the best hip-hop tracks of the year), but still, it's Thom Yorke remixing DOOM. Grab the mp3 here. *************
