Dilla Time: Mix By A.O.S is a tribute mix that explores the revolutionary timing and rhythmic feel of legendary producer J Dilla, as interpreted by Detroit techno pioneer Anthony “Shake” Shakir, under his A.O.S alias. Released on vinyl, this mix blends hip hop, soul, funk, and raw beat science into a continuous session that reflects Dilla’s unmistakable swing and feel — the rhythmic essence now known as “Dilla Time.”

A.O.S recontextualizes Dilla’s influence through the lens of Detroit’s electronic underground, blurring genre lines while preserving the deep groove and emotional weight of the source material. The mix is fluid, analog, and uncompromising — crafted not just as homage, but as a rhythmic exploration of time, syncopation, and human feel.

This release serves both as a listening experience and a conceptual statement, connecting the lineage of Detroit’s most forward-thinking music scenes. A must-have for fans of Dilla, A.O.S, and beat culture as a whole.
