Happy 10th Anniversary to the IllVibe Collective

After our brothers in Philly helped us celebrate our 18th, it's only right to extend hearty congratulations on their decade of super duty tough work.

These cats aren't just consummate professionals, trendsetters and amazing DJs, they're also our fam.

Check out a commemorative project they assembled highlighting 10 years of great music.

DILLA DILLA BEATS BEATS... 2/25

Jay Dee/Dilla/J Dilla/Dilla Dawg/Dill Withers/James Yancey both entered and left this world in the month of February, so it would be a travesty to let the month completely pass without paying proper tribute and celebrating the incredible music that was his life's work. With that thought in mind, tonight's party at Marvin should be amazing!

Thursday, February 25, 2010
9pm
Marvin
2007 14th St NW DC

The all-star DJ lineup:
RBI | Stylus | Book | JahSonic | 2-Tone Jones | Roddy Rod | J-Laine
& Special Guests

$5 Donation (Proceeds to benefit The JDILLA Foundation)

The line-up of DJs alone should be enough to let you know that this event will be CRUCIAL. It's a CCCA & Decipher family takeover!

I'll be on the radio from 10-11pm (it's the last week of pledge drive-- please support WPFW and our show!!), but I fully intend on breaking land speed records getting from WPFW to 14th & U as soon as I get off-the-air!

Hope to see you there!

THIS JUST IN: I suddenly don't feel so bad about missing the first couple hours of the party at Marvin tonight... I've got an interview lined-up with Brand Nubian! They'll be at Liv on Saturday, so I'll help you get your mind right for that show as well. Yeah, that isht didn't happen... and that's why I never tease interviews before I've got the bamma(s) on the phone or sitting in the studio!

Saturday, February 27, 2010
9pm
Liv
2001 11th St NW DC

Featuring:
VON | Underdog| RBI | God's Killa A.W.R. BBoys | Tarica June | 2-Tone | Cornel West Theory

Tune in tonight, then let's hit the streets!
