Jay Dee – “Walkinonit” (Phaseone remix)

Last month I strung together a number of compound sentences and besotted adjectives to endtroduce you to St. Louis hip-hop producer and DIY Dilla disciple Phaseone. Well, this week I had a chance to sit down with him for a quick Q&A session for the Riverfront Times to find out a bit more about who he was and what he’s been up to. Turns out he’s up to quite a lot. In addition to finishing a new album and dispatching a full schedule of remixes, both official (Bloc Party, Banjo or Freakout) and unofficial (Animal Collective, Kanye West), he also unveiled a new track over at Gorilla vs. Bear yesterday: a remix of Jay Dee’s “Walkinonit” in commemoration of the third anniversary of Dee’s death.

The interview shows up in print tomorrow, but keep an eye over at Annie Zablogski’s site later this weekend in case any outtakes crop up. Interview outtakes are basically like a DVD gag reel, only minus the laffs.
