Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee
Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee is a mashup album by United Kingdom-based record producer Bullion,[1] released for free online download in 2007.[2] It is a tribute to American rapper/producer J Dilla and the album Pet Sounds (1966), originally recorded by the Beach Boys.[3] Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee was praised by various publications. Gorilla vs. Bear described it as a "more adventurous version of The Grey Album, but with J Dilla and the Beach Boys standing in for Jay-Z and the Beatles".[4] Pitchfork called it "a surprisingly deft, quasi-mash-up record",[5] while The Guardian wrote that the album "highlighted the beauty of the music by chopping it up into byte-size chunks and putting it back together in fabulous new shapes".[6] In 2013, Fact magazine placed Pet Sounds in the Key of Dee in its list of the essential instrumental hip hop albums of the last 15 years.[2]
