It’s the summer of J Dilla in Los Angeles, and The Broad joins the festivities by honoring the revered artist who would have been 50 this year. Dilla’s House at The Broad features artists who knew and worked with Dilla. An ensemble performance helmed by Detroit’s Moodymann will feature fellow Motor City icons Dames Brown on vocals, Dez Andrés on the ones and twos and percussion, and Mark de Clive-Lowe on keys and beat machines. The evening will warm up fast with LA’s own DJ Ashley Younniä; local music maven DJ Rashida will keep the energy levels up to close out the night. Situated amongst the artworks in The Broad’s special exhibition, Mickalene Thomas: All About Love, visitors can chill out with an introspective aural intervention featuring local musicians Sadie Ibrahim and Asia Lacey, both of whom incorporate techniques used by Dilla when composing and performing their work. This intervention is staged by Los Angeles curatorial and arts production team Central Server Works. Hosted by The Yancey Boys AKA Illa J + Frank Nitt. Guest co-curated by Mohogani Music and Fusicology.
