Sampler for the homie Brenk from Vienna, Austria... Enjoy...

"House Shoes Presents The King James Version" (House Shoes) is a lovingly and expertly constructed journey through the building blocks of Dilla's beats - the dusty OG vinyl grooves that he sampled.

From the basis of a Frank-N-Dank cult favorite, through that of a Fantastic SV moment, to Donuts' irresistible ingredients, Shoes' thorough work shines the light on his friend's ear for a sneaky loop, his affection for perfectly imperfect chops and his knack for extracting the soul from a forgotten musical fragment and making it something altogether new, something his own.

Long Live King James......

"House Shoes just showed us how much of a genius Dilla was even more with this cd and how crazy Dilla's record collection was... I'm just now finding some of these samples...He was light years ahead of us..."

-Black Milk

"The King James Version is a must for all you hardcore Dilla fans or for Sample Heads. Shoes is the only person besides J.Rocc who can put something together like this.....listening to this will make your head crack! Don't sleep!"

-DJ Rhettmatic(Beat Junkies)

"House Shoes seems to have it all....life isn't fair sometime. After listening to this you'll ask yourself how did Dilla do it. All Hail King James (both of em)"

-J-Rocc(Beat Junkies)

When we discussed the idea of putting together a mix focusing on Dennis Coffey's immense history in the world of soul, funk, and hip-hop, House Shoes was our clear first choice. Often referred to as "Detroit's musical ambassador," Shoes is intimately acquainted with Dennis' history, and a first rate DJ to boot.

On Constellations - The A to Z of Dennis Coffey, he delivered beyond our expectations. Touching on everything from the psychedelic b-boy soul of Coffey's 70's solo material, to classic recordings on which he recorded as a sessions musician, to hip-hop cuts which have sampled his material, and even a couple of sneak peaks at the new album's music, he offers as clear a portrait as any of way Dennis Coffey is beloved by so many music fans of all varieties. His drop game is tough too! We were also happy to hear how comfortably the new material sits next to Coffey's many classics. If that's not the mark of timelessness, I don't know what is! As everyone from Q-Tip to JakeOne to DJ Jazzy Jeff are happy to remind you: Dennis Coffey will be out April 26th.
