Digable Planets presents 'Sounds from the 7th Dimension' mixed by DJ Alex J

Having spent my days at school during the 'Golden age' of hip-hop, I spent most of those years mainly listening to some of the great Hip-Hop of that time. Although my musical tastes may have grown I still frequently drop regular little Hip-Hop gems in my DJ sets, as you can probably notice from the Podcasts on this Blog.

The Digable Planets fused Hip-Hop and Jazz music and their 1993 debut Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) is still a favourite of mine now! They are composed of Butterfly, Doodlebug, Ladybug and were backed by Silkworm, who later became King Britt. After their second album 'Blowout Comb' was released in 1994 the group soon split up and stayed that way until in 2005 when they embarked on a reunion tour.

Here is a new Digable Planet's mixtape entitled "Sounds of the 7th Dimension" mixed by DJ Alex J which is to promote Digable Planet's new tour that kicks off this week in the US.
