Self-proclamed "King Of Diggin'", DJ Muro doesn't only dig into old records. He also mixes tasty hip hop compilations. While his compatriot DJ Mitsu The Beats was compiling tracks from the BBE discography (well, he also compiled Stones Throw and Blue Note, just like... Muro), Muro was mixing records from the Stones Throw catalog. That was back in 2004. The Japan-only promo mix CD featured classics of the Californian label, as well as more confidential songs by the likes of Dooley O, Mr. Magic, or The Highlighters.
Today, it's 2011, and Muro is releasing a second volume of "Muro Stoned". Once again, it's a Japan-only CD release. The mix hosts a lot of Dâm-Funk, a bit of MED, J. Rocc, a pre-major Mayer Hawthorne, as well as a post-rap Aloe Blacc, Dilla and Lord Quas.
Notice the artwork, that reproduces the latest covers of the Beat Konducta's LPs by Jeff Jank. This could become a graphic theme... not the best you've seen, but whatever.
I forgot to say : both Muro and Mitsu are legendary DJ's, highly skilled, with great tastes and a real passion for music. By the way, check this video by Spine TV, where Muro browses through his huge record collection.
