Description Of Music

Killer set of funk, soul and jazz originals from one of hip hop’s most talented producers, RJD2, also world-renowned for his downtempo, atmospheric soundscapes, with many comparisons to DJ Shadow. Since the release of ‘Dead Ringer’, vinyl hounds have been digging deep in the crates to un-earth the original, diverse sample sources, and here for the first time are collected 20 of the best, used for such classics as ‘The Horror’, ‘2 More Dead’, ‘Here’s What’s Left’, ‘Ghostwriter’, ‘Final Frontier’, ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ and many more. Essential material!!!
