Future Classic: DJ Day “Mama Shelter”
The good homie, DJ Day, has a new album dropping soon, and to say I’m ecstatic is an understatement. On top of being a world class producer that garners praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jeremy Sole and Lefto, Day, hands down, is one of the best DJ’s on …
Future Classic: C.R.S.T. VS Chesus “Monster Munch EP”
Must admit that I got excited a little bit when I saw the names C.R.S.T and Local Talk in the same paragraph. After all, Local Talk has grown very rapidly grown into one of our favorite labels here at MIMS. Mad Mats‘ young label might only be 20 releases old …
Future Classic: Detroit Swindle “Creep”
When it comes to house music I really obey my 5% – 95% rule meaning that you really have to dig through 95 “meh” tracks to find 5 tracks that are just magic. House can be such a disposable genre of music: tracks that sound like they took 5 minutes …
Future Classic: Meridian Brothers “Guaracha U.F.O”
I didn’t do a top tracks list this year (I think we’ve all had enough lists anyway) but if I had the time this track would have been way up there. A track which has very fitting title as it comes at you like an piece of space psych funk …

What I like the most about this time of year (no, it’s not eggnog) is that I can catch up on some music I might have missed; one exemple is the Last Words EP by Ryan Hemsworth, a 9 track affair that was released in September (although at 37 minutes, …

Future Classic: Kenlo Craqnuques “Tomates”
Just a few days before christmas and Kenlo Craqnuques, one of our favorite producers on our little planet hits us up with a brand new volume in his series of coloured themed plates. And like everything else he releases, it’s completely free. (But hopefully people at least realize the artistic and monetary value) Tomates, …
Future Classic: J Rocc “Don’t Look Back”
We all know J-Rocc as the founding member of the Beat Junkies, and for his perennial DJ mixes. His “Sex Machine Today” mix is one of the best mixes ever(ask any of your favourite DJ’s and they would back that up in a heartbeat). I mean, come on, when Peanut …
Future Classic: L’Orange “The Mad Writer”
L’Orange is a beatmaker from North Carolina; he isn’t from a french speaking country, as the name might suggest. He has been putting out projects that are mostly instrumental hiphop for quite some time now. The new release, The Mad Writer, doesn’t have the same precise conceptual effort of his …
