As someone commented on Boiler Room fb page this Boiler Room Tribute should have been in Chicago with Earl, Traxman, Manny, RP boo and whole teklife crew so BR will try to do such tribute there as well.

Why doesn't WATMM do a DJ Rashad RIP tribute album?

Would love to have an excuse to delve deep into a footwork style.

Sad to hear he's died btw. As far a juke is concerned I've yet to hear anything that surpasses RP Boo 'Legacy' for me but I like the Rashad tracks posted around recently so I should give his work a listen for sure.

There are some gems on the Bangs and Works compilations. This is one of my favs:

i had never heard of this guy and now i do so.... anyways i like this stuff. to think that i'm sleeping on so much good music

I was like that with Nujabes. Don't love his stuff, but it was weird to be like "oh dang, I can't believe I didn't know this dude til he was dead".

Kinda funny that WATMM hesitated on the tribute front based on "too soon" concerns and Boiler Room just decided to Leeroy Jenkins it.

Supposedly those people were good friends with him so not so much of a grab there.

This guy was really onto something too , this new Freshmoon compilation is so good.

Yeah, Teklife crew are quite close with the Boiler Room lot, so it's kinda justified they did it so soon... just remembering a friend through his music.

Shit, how did I miss this?? It was just last fall when I'd started getting into his (foot)work. Major bummer.

Well we should juke onward with a tribute then, no? I bet WATMM could come up with some good stuff.

 

I'd like to. Shall we make a thread in EKT?

My suggestions =>

- deadline a couple months out

- keep it classy? I know it's fun to juke everything under the sun, but the goal of THIS comp would be to pay tribute to the man

- hmm, I had some other thoughts but I'm blanking on them now.

Glad to hear it wasn't drug related, but damn, this really blows. RIP.

Now I'm just wondering if I have a blood clot somewhere.

Christ,a blood clot.

Dem baby aspirin get you mad buzzed.

Just read about this in the Planet Mu Newsletter :(

Double Cup was awesome.

Rest in Peace.

Anybody here 30 and above should start taking a low dose (80 mg.) aspirin unless otherwise contraindicated (gut problems, history of GI bleed, alcoholism, clotting disorder, etc.)

Or you could take vitamin E and fish oil and exercise regularly while also enjoying a drink from time to time.

RIP. This song is so fucking good
