Jay Dee Gear used on Fantastic Vol. 2-Slum Village

By Dj Pound Fri Aug 14, 2009 2:51 am
Was listening to this record today, I had forgot that I ever had it. It's aged well! I can remember at first not liking T3 or bataans flows to much, but jay dee's beats were always enough reason to keep me listening.
I gotta recant now though, T3 and Bataan had a funky little flow going on :lol: Infectious!

But does anyone know what Dilla was using during this period? Gear wise? Ive skimmed a few interviews online and havent found anything pertaining to that era.

About the sample :
The song uses a sample from the song, "Extra Dry", by Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk). It was initially used without permission, as producer J Dilla obtained a copy of the song from a bootleg recording, and assumed that the artist was an obscure techno producer, and was unlikely to find out. Bangalter and Guy-Manuel, however happened to be fans of Slum Village, and rather than demand a payment for the sample, instead asked to collaborate on one of their own tracks, which ended up becoming their remix of the song "Aerodynamic".
