Last year Unlooped created a new series called ‘Versus.’ ‘Versus’ is a series where Unlooped gathers different Milwaukee artists together to take on and re-interpret a major, influential artist’s music catalog with an electronic twist. The first show in this series was Unlooped vs. Dilla, which debuted September 17, 2011. Unlooped vs. Dilla, inspired by Miguel Atwood Ferguseon’s Suite For Ma Dukes, brought together a string quartet, electronic producer, and DJ to create a unique take on the productions of the late, great J Dilla.
February 7th was Dilla's Birthday which should have been a national holiday. There I said it! We should've all had off to do nothing but chill, appreciate life, and listen to and celebrate the music and life of Mr. J. Dilla. The Unlooped vs. Dilla Ensemble released the first single from their forthcoming EP called “See You Cry” which is a stellar re-interpretation of Dilla's Don't Cry. You can download the track HERE for FREE.99!
