Future Classic: Submerse “Algorithms and Ghosts”
First things first. I must apologize because I misled you dear readers in a previous post about Submerse‘s Tears EP. After some inquiring, I found out that Submerse is English but lives in Japan. That make some sense since the sound on this EP makes me think of another sweet record …
Future Classic: Med x Blu x Rose x Madlib “Burgundy Whip”
Madlib has been pumping out some incredibly dope beats lately and the latest is a smooth track for Blu and M.E.D that makes spring come early and just makes me want to rent a convertible and bump it all the way to a sunny beach somewhere in Cali. Rolling drumlines …
Future Classic: Menahan Street Band “The Crossing”
Brooklyn-based collective Menahan Street Band hit the scene with their first release Make the Road by Walking on Daptone subsidiary Dunham records in 2008. It’s eponymous single made waves as it was sampled by Jay-Z (RocBoys) but the album was an amazing collection of afrobeat,funk and ethio-jazz compositions that had …
Forgotten Tresure: XClan “Funkin Lesson” (1990)
Just coming off the intense (musical) high of our last edition of the 24 Hours of Vinyl event. So many discoveries that it’s hard to remember everything but let’s just say the whole 24hrs had tons of music lovers asking DJ for track ID’s or people reaching their phones in …
Future Classic: Bakey Ustl “A Tender Place / Nose Candy”
The first time I heard A Tender Place, I was just waiting for the change up to happen, or for something to break in the song and the more I waited, the more avant-garde the song became. I didn’t know what to expect next, if the track would pick up …
Future Classic: Big L “Put It On” (Nicky Lars RMX)
Top notch remix from French producer Nicky Lars who tackled a tough one with Big L’s “Put it on”, his first official single released in 1994 produced by the mighty Buckwild. Well, let’s just say he did justice to the track and Big L’s short but powerful legacy. The remix …
Future Classic: Kaytranada “Kaytra Todo”
You love to hear the story, again and again. The promising up-and-comer, young enough to be in touch with the spirit of the times, wise enough to carry on tradition, as he rises through the ranks and aces every test for us to see. For those like myself, that’s exactly …
Forgotten Treasure: Paul McCartney & Wings “Good Night Tonight” (1979)
Many years ago, my friend used to run a Post-Punk night at Korova Bar in Montreal during the same time I also did a night there. I’d go to her Post-Punk night and she’d come to my Disco Boogie night and we’d support each other while enjoying slightly different styles …
Forgotten Treasure: The Jammers “Be Mine Tonight” (1982)
Disco is a goldmine for heart melting romantic themed music, and in light of this upcoming lover’s holiday, I thought I would share one of my favorites. It’s not a conventional Valentine’s Day song but I think the message is pretty clear. The opening line is what does it for …
