Future Classic: Joker “Do it”
To sum this up quickly, this track is what it would sound like if Zapp & Roger made a dubstep track. I’m already a big fan of JOKER‘s productions; he’s getting lots of support from all the dubstep world but also from people like Gilles Peterson, Benji B and so …
Future Classic: Fashawn “Life as a Shorty”
The return of the sun after a couple days of shitty weather gave me the inspiration for this pick… Listening to this track from FASHAWN on an EXILE produced beat takes me back… All of a sudden, i’m 13 years old again and all I have to do today is …
Future Classic: Zansika “Never Change”
I’ve been sitting on this track for a little while now. I’ve been talking to ZANSIKA from London for a bit and i’ve been keeping a close eye on her productions and features. She’s as dope on a R&B jam like “Never Change” as she is on more uptempo stuff …
Future Classic: Nosaj Thing “1685/Bach”
I’ll be (trying) hooking you up with one selection a day. Anything ranging from next level stuff like this track from LA’s NOSAJ THING to jazz, reggae, forgotten oddities and so on…
Future Classic: Nathaniel (Aloe Blacc) “La la la”

Future Classic: Gagle “Big Bang Theory” (2006)
Just sending out some positive vibes to all of Japan and the few friends I have there. Sending warm thoughts to all of you good peoples. Here is one of my favorite Japanese hip-hop tracks. Gagle is a super dope band backed by production from the awesome Dj Mitsu.
Future Classic: Q-Tip, Raekwon, Busta & Lil’ Wayne “Renaissance Rap”
QTip, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon and Lil’Wayne bring back the grand old tradition of the possee track! Heard this yesterday for the first time and i’m on listen #23 already. This is another reason why the “internet era” can be so empowering for music. 10 years ago you would have had …
Future Classic: Shawn Jackson “Feelin Jack”
Shawn Jackson is another new Cali guy that is further proof that it’s one of the most exciting Indie scenes worldwide: Blu, Exile, Flying Lotus, and so on… Big up to my mans Scott C for bringing this guy to my ears’ as well as dropping some of his tracks …
