Future Classic: JC Poppe – Foundation of a Moment
It’s amazing what you can find on the interwebs. I just discovered JC Poppe (aka Jonathan Poppe) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on his bandcamp page. “Foundation of a Moment” really captures the essence of classic golden era ’90s hip-hop. This track will be featured on JC Poppe’s upcoming double album Shadowlands / Tea …
Future Classic: James Blake “I Never Learnt To Share”
In the small world of underground and independent electronic music there aren’t many artists that are as hyped up at the moment as London’s James Blake. On the strength of a handful of EP’s and a few remixes he was on everyone’s 2010 playlists. People from Pitchfork, Fact Magazine, Mary …
Future Classic: Seiji “Whisky”
Seiji is hands down my favorite producer from that late 90’s early 2000’s London Broken Beat scene. The good news is that he never stopped putting out absolutely amazing cutting edge dancefloor stuff. He gives tons of free tracks (and not the crappy ones) on his website which you should …
Future Classic: Celph Titled & Buckwild “Hardcore Data”
Buckwild the legendary DJ/Producer from D.I.T.C. and Celph Titled the MC from the Demigodz and Army of the Pharaohs, have teamed up to release their collaboration album Nineteen Ninety Now. A lot of people are calling it the sleeper hip-hop album of 2010. It’s loaded with dope collabos. Loving a …
Future Classic: Altered Natives “Danny Does Acid EP”
Talk about a holiday treat. Mr. Altered Natives, definitely one of the producers that killed us in 2010 is hitting us up with a free EP working on his Acid influences. Acid House that is… I was having a chat with him about some his influences (read the post here) …
Future Classic: Dj Premier + KRS-1 & Grand Puba “5%”
For real hip-hop heads, these kind of moments are few and far between. This is a Dj Premier produced track for KRS-One’s upcoming 2011 record called “Return of the Boom Bip”. Never been the hugest KRS guy but I can’t front on this track. Dope!
Future Classic: DAMU the Fudgemunk “More Supplies”
Been really digging DAMU these past few months. I’ve played a few of his tracks in previous podcast but I think this EP is definitely the first one that I need to buy on vinyl. “More Supplies” is a really strong 5 track EP on clear vinyl. We definitely need …
Future Classic: Freddie Gibbs “The Ghetto”
I was reading up on one of my favorite sources for dope music called Potholes in my Blog (check that site out!). They just put together the very tough task of listing top records of the year by categories. Jazz, Hip-Hop, Soul and this gem I found in the Best …
Future Classic: Accrophone Beat Session vol.1
Some Quebec City heat for you all. Accrophone are a duo that have been putting out tracks for about 5-6 years now and if you ask me they are now fully coming to their own. Claude Bégin and E-Man are also vital members of the Alaclair Ensemble collective (with Kenlo, …
