Future Classic: Sene “Backboards” (featuring Blu)
I have to give thanks to Blu for making me discover a lot of artists like Mainframe, Ta’Raach on his various collaboration projects. Another guy that I discovered through him is Brooklyn’s SENE. They actually did a full LP together called “ADayLate&ADollarShort” in 2009 which I strongly suggest you checking. …
Future Classic: Oddissee “You Know Where You Are” (Accoustic Version)
You might have heard this one at the very end of our latest radio show (check it out here if you haven’t yet). A very beautiful little nugget from Oddissee and Olivier Daysoul. Taken from Oddissee’s recent and truly excellent album called “People Hear What They See”. Another album coming …
Future Classic: SELA “Men Have Secrets, But No Mystery”
It’s been awhile since I found some music that had that dreamy vibe that I’m pretty much always looking for. The title is just so relevant to me: Men Have Secrets, But No Mystery. The beats of SELA put me in a dream and the textures are full with pure and innocent energy. This little piece of magic makes …
Future Classic: Label Love Compilation “Vol.4”
These days in the music industry, the words free and compilation don’t capture my attention as much as they used to. A record can be 30$ on Bandcamp like the most recent LP from Japan’s Jazz Collection and i’ll buy it if it’s good. So the most important characteristic remains …
Future Classic: Tall Black Guy “Tempo Dreams”
Faithful readers of MIMS already know that Tall Black Guy is one of our favorite producers around. We probably play a track of his every other show, and the other half of the time, well we probably should have! TBG is a Detroit native, so in addition to his skills with …
Future Classic: Freddie Gibbs “Thuggin”
Madlib is still one of my favorite Hip-Hop producers, although his recent output can best be described as prolific (i.e highly fruitful;abundant) producing over 35 albums and releasing 25 mixtapes this past decade alone. Whether it be his critically acclaimed collaboration with MF Doom (the classic Madvillain LP) or with …
Future Classic: Freddie Joachim “The Joachim Remixes Vol. 5”
As always the boys at Moovmnt are on point when it comes to digging out the fuego! This is a new remix package from Freddie Joachim, a producer from San Francisco who we love here at MIMS. The 19 track remix project tackles classics like Little Dragon, Q-Tip, Corrine Bailey …
Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: Jel “Greenball 3.5”
These days, way too many hip-hop acts try to make their production sound as “big” as possible often opting for a more polished over-produced sound. So in that sense, Lo-Fi instrumental hiphop albums only available on vinyl form is a bit on an oddball. One guy that certainly is synonymous …
