Future Classic: Eli Colburn “Impulse”
DJ/engineer Eli Colburn is only 21 years old but he produces beats that one fan claims “hit like a fucking painkiller.” Colburn, originally from South Carolina, is still continuing his studies in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a small town 40 minutes outside of Nashville. Colburn sources his soul and jazz records for …
Future Classic: SOHN “The Wheel”
Every time we do a show there is always one track that we wanted to include and just totally slips by. And then you hear it again and you just curse yourself for forgetting about it. Arrrrgh. I mean, our last MIMS Radio Show (#60!) is still filled with tons …
Future Classic: Tomato Jonez “Don’t Call It A Comeback”
We very rarely share releases in the “future classic” section without taking some time to listen to it a few times to absorb it. This time it’s different. We got a message from Gino Paul aka Tomato Jonez hitting us up about his new release aptly called “Don’t Call It …
Future Classic: Black Atlass “Black Atlass EP”
Last winter, my sister put me onto the melodic and low-fi sounding Black Atlass, and I’ve been following him ever since. Sang his praises to all my friends repeatedly and forced my co-workers to listen to his soundcloud daily in the office. To say the least, I am a very …
Future Classic: Kidkanevil & Daisuke Tanabe “Kidsuke”
The first results of the “KIDSUKE” collaboration between UK beatsmith Kidkanevil and Japanese producer Daisuke Tanabe brings the usual quirky feeling but is very cohesive and a bit less all over the place than their usual solo productions. The quirky mix of instrumental hip-hop and glitchy electronics that other Project:mooncircle …
Future Classic: Kingdom of Fear (Jehst & Kashmere)
I’ve always been a sucker for “concept” records or those LP’s that are so well put together that they just draw you in and you just feel like listening to the record from start to finish like you do with a really good movie or book. Cohesive and cinematic, two qualities …
Future Classic: Karriem Riggins “Summer Madness”
Earlier this year Karriem Riggins released “Alone Together” on Stones Throw records and after hundreds of listens we can officially say that it’s our favorite instrumental record of the year. Truly deserves a spot next to “Clouds” by Apollo Brown, “Endtroducing“, “Los Angeles“, “Donuts” and others… You are forgiven if …
Future Classic: Boundary “Free Violence”
Change of scenery for Poirier, who is coming back to his ambient and minimalistic land as Boundary, after spending some time in tropical bass country. And that is about all that can be linked between the two identities of the producer, as the one-man army has been rather quiet about …
Future Classic: Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson “Dice Game”
Big big one right here. For the ones that doubted that if hip-hop we once loved still existed. Well it does and this is one shining example. Not to hate on where is seems to be going with all the trap and straight up dance music influences but sometimes it’s …
