Future Classic: Soucoupes Volantes (Kenlo, Smilé, Sevdee, Jam)
A tasty platter of space dust courtesy of some of my favorite purveyors of head nodding from Montreal. I’m good friends with Sevdee and Kenlo and although I don’t know the two other dudes personally (Smilé Smah & Jam), i’ve heard some great stuff through their affiliation with the K6A …
Future Classic: Ifan Dafydd “No Good”
Not always a fan of that whole post-post-dubstep-abstract-soul movement. But as in any other genre, when it’s done right, it just works. Very nice Amy Winehouse flip by IFAN DAFYDD. This is a favorite of mine no doubt. In the running for top tracks of 2011! A lot of people …

Following three separate EPs, the build-up to 6th Borough Project‘s debut full-length culminates in this CLASSY matte-sleeve 3xLP release.

Future Classic: Andy Stott “Passed Me By”
For me any ANDY STOTT release is a must by and I can’t say i’ve ever been disappointed by the dude’s work. Now obviously this sort of thing isn’t for everyone but for anyone into the super deep midtempo techno à la Basic Channel in the mid-90’s but also more recently …

Brand new project from VLOOPER, one of Quebec’s dopest beat producers. VLooper is a longtime collaborator of Kenlo and others who are part of their TOUT NOU’ collective.
