Ta-ku wanted to pay tribute to his greatest influence by creating a new beat each day for 50 days straight. There is no doubt that Dilla has left his impression in hip hop forever, but Ta-Ku wanted Dilla’s spirit to stay alive through music. You will find signature Dilla-esque drum swings, melodic transitions, and creative sampling in his tribute to the late J Dilla.

Greeen Linez is a collaboration between Chris Greenberg (from the British electronic pop band Hong Kong In The 60s) and UK-born/Tokyo-based DJ/producer A Taut Line (aka Matt Lyne, co-founder of the Diskotopia label). The project combines the '90s dance music and R&B that soundtracked Chris and Matt's childhoods with the '70s/'80s jazz-funk and synthesizer soundtracks that they have obsessed over in the years since. All of this is filtered through the cocktail of retro pop, fusion and supermarket muzak that Matt has been exposed to during his time in Japan. Following last year's self-titled EP on Diskotopia, as well as remixes for Mau'lin (also on Diskotopia), Darkhouse Family (on Earnest Endeavours), BD1982 (on B.YRSLF Division) and Mi Ami (for a Japanese 100% Silk compilation) , Things That Fade is the debut full-length release from Greeen Linez. The album is a cinematic journey through a fantasy world of music, both familiar and unreal, and as perfectly suited to bedroom dreamers as it is to nightclub dancers.
