Ifan Dafydd‘s post-dub, Amy Winehouse-sampled tune was scheduled to be up on the site later in the week, but the tragic events of this weekend have made it a fitting tribute to the artist. Ifan‘s work has garnered praise from influencers like Gilles Peterson and Jamie XX, and you definitely will be hearing more from him in the following months. Be sure to grab the vinyl-only single when it drops August 15th.

So you may (or may not) have noticed that D.I.D. has been dormant for a week (the longest amount of downtime in its short, albeit illustrious history). We have upgraded from my personal website to a home of our own, and after a very stressful week (relocating hundreds of mp3s takes sooo much time), we are back. Not to bore you with my troubles, I’m ready to dive back in to it, we have so much to catch up on.

So before falling in love with Chauffeur I didn’t really know too much about Mark Ronson. In a typical fashion, he is now showing up everywhere in my life. Producing tracks for Wale‘s new album (more on that in a minute), working with Amy Winehouse and being responsible for tracks I didn’t even know I knew (“Stop Me”, which features a delightful homage to The Supremes [Diana Ross is also showing up everywhere for me]). Classic soul and flawless production, I’m embarassed that it’s taken me this long, but now there’s no turning back.
