Future Classic: Emilie & Ogden “EP”
My hometown, Montreal, is just an endless pit of talent. Every time I think I have a decent grasp of the music scene here something crazy hits my radar. Last month I was asked to host Head and Hand’s and J2K’s 4th edition of Do My Ladies Run This. I …
Future Classic: Kaytranada “Remix EP” (Limited 300 Vinyl)
This is a truly ephemeral post because in many ways the songs on Kaytranada are already classics. I’ve written about the ubiquitous Janet Jackson “If” remix and the sweet erykah badu joint. In my head i dreamed of a 45 with the Janet banger and love of my life on …
Future Classic: Osunlade “Yoruba Plays”
If you consider yourself a fan of real, deep, soulful house then you are most likely familiar with Yoruba. The label (run by Osunlade) has been around since 1999, putting out fresh vibes (often with a spiritual, jazzy and world music approach) from Nadirah Shakoor, Boddhi Savta, Afefe Iku and …
Future Classic: Omar “Ordinary Day”
Undoubtedly, Omar‘s “The Man” is one of the best albums of 2013. The album is chalk full of soul that touches on a multitude of genres, further showcasing the range of the already legendary British soul singer. While we are all quite familiar with the title track of the album, …

Future Classic: Chloe Martini “About Me”
Chloe Martini is my favorite music discovery of the month if not the year. She’s a 20 year old producer from Warsaw (Poland) and already collaborated with label Soulection. I must say she’s the true definition of that “Future Soul” sound, hard to define but you know it when you …
Future Classic: Terrace Martin “Angel”
The long awaited release of “3ChordFold” by Terrace Martin is here. This project contains 14 tracks with notable features from Robert Glasper, Snoop Dogg, Musiq Soulchild, Kendrick Lamar to name a few. Here is my favorite song “Angel” of the entire LP, which can be purchased on Itunes
Future Classic: Elaquent “The Journey”
I’ve been meaning to talk about Elaquent‘s new record on HW&W Records called “Believing” for a while now but summer vacation time sort of got in the way. But since I happened to catch our man EQ performing in Montreal a couple days ago we wanted to talk about our favourite …
Future Classic: Shy FX feat Liam Bailey “Soon Come”
Take a little break from all that trap music and stop with that twerkin nonsense for two minutes… It’s frying your brain. Hehe, I kid I kid! We don’t make a habit of hating on anyone here at MIMS but a track like this is just a breath of fresh …
