This mix was made on the sixth anniversary of the original monkey Oates' passing and is dedicated to his beautiful spirit.
Madvillain was the one album project by Madlib with MF DOOM, with their album Madvillainy released in 2004. This mix features "Money Folder" from that album, along with another Madlib remixed named the same and one named "Boulder Holder" as well as a remix by Four Tet.
"The French Inhaler" is from Warren Zevon's eponymous 1976 album that is generally considered his debut. This mix features a first take and two earlier versions along with the album version.
One other song repeats across the mix: Neko Case's "Hold On, Hold On" from her 2006 album Fox Confessor Brings The Flood as well as a version from 2008 by Marianne Faithfull with Cat Power.
The rest: Samuel Jonathan Johnson's languid "Just Us", Parliament's disco-inflected "The Motor-Booty Affair", the romantic "Iceblink Luck" by Cocteau Twins, Chain Of Command's icy "Honour Among Thieves", Giorgio Moroder's "The Apartment" from the 1980 film American Gigolo, a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" by The Kills, a cover of their other hit "Rhiannon" by Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams' early demo "In My Dreams You Still Belong To Me", Damon's psychedelic "Feel Your Love", Pressler-Morgan One Plus One's goofy "You're Gonna Watch Me", Jo Stafford's rousing "Shrimp Boats", Beverly Glenn-Copeland's ethereal "Ever New" and Leon Thomas' spiritual "Echoes".
