Future Classic: Sampa The Great “The Great Mixtape”
Whenever I go on the road for some DJ dates, I always fill up the iPod Classic with all of the newest releases and other music on my daunting “to-listen” pile. After hours in airport and train station waiting lines there is always at least one release that jumps out …
Future Classic: Par-Le “Kamden Town”
If I had to pick only 1 track as my favourite song of 2015, Par-Le‘s “Kamden Town” would probably take the title. I came across this masterpiece a couple weeks ago; I didn’t know the artist nor the song, and it had only a few listens via their soundcloud account. …
Future Classic: Ivan Ave “Machines”

Future Classic: Voltaire Records “Endeavors”
via Voltaire Records: “Endeavors”, the 4th compilation from Voltaire Records, explores the vibes of boogie, disco, modern funk, and whatever the hell type of music is also on there that doesn’t fit into those aforementioned genres.
