Amerigo Gazaway – Balkan Loves Dilla (DJ Set) [Zagreb, Croatia 2024]

In honor of #DillaMonth, I’m excited to share my full DJ set from the ‘Balkan Loves Dilla‘ tribute party last year in Zagreb (hosted by Blackout Hip-Hop with DJs Phat Phillie, Koolade, Sinke Fresh and yours truly.)

This 27-minute mix features some of my favorite J Dilla remixes, edits, blends, originals and other rarities from his catalog. Peep the preview snippet below (filmed by Tin Matić) and stream/download the full mix here.

Special thanks to Blackout Hip-Hop and Balkan Loves Dilla! Make sure to slide through on Feb. 28th at the Liszt Institute in Zagreb for another edition of Balkan Loves Dilla as part of the ‘Memory Lane – 40 Years of Hip-Hop‘ exhibition (featuring Koolade, Sinke Fresh, Carlito, and Phat Phillie).

“The tradition of honoring the legendary J Dilla continues in 2025 as part of the Memory Lane – 40 Years of Hip-Hop exhibition. On February 28, the Liszt Institute will come alive with an outstanding musical selection from Koolade, Phat Phillie, Sinke Fresh, and Carlito. Organized by the Balkan Loves Dilla association, the event kicks off at 4 pm, promising great music, good vibes, and plenty of fun.”
