Future Classic: Booty Based Mob Compilation “Vol. 1”
I will never forget the fateful night my friends Bongiovanni, Sparkz and Compton Chic (Booty Based Mob) started their first weekly residency “Booty Bakery”, an MTL soiree devoted to rump-shaking tunes (or as they would call it “music for dem asses”). It was a really warm evening and the crew …
Forgotten Treasure: Hugh Masekela “Don’t Go Lose It Baby” (1984)
Today I am happily sharing one of my favorite Afro-Funk songs, a jam that I believe still has the ability to create disco delight on the dance floor today. The track I’m talking about is Hugh Masekela’s legendary underground dance classic, Don’t Go Lose It Baby and it is one …
Forgotten Treasure: The Messenger aka Todd Edwards “Guide My Soul” (1993)
This EP is part of the very foundation that created UK Garage around ’94-95 with people like Tuff Jam, Grant Nelson & Jeremy Sylvester. It is sort of the missing link between the US and UK scenes. It’s with productions like this EP from people like MK, Masters At Work, …
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 …
Forgotten Treasure: Fortunado “Hats Off”
I know, right? The the album title…the moniker…the album cover (including a shot of Fortunado in “mid-drink” hahaha). My ears contracted themselves in preparation of the next impending disaster, but curiosity levels were high and previous experiences with good music in bad packaging encouraged me to push forward. Needless to …
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 …
Forgotten Treasure: Towa Tei – Technova / La em Copacabana (1996)
Last night I did something for the very first time. No, not that. Get your mind straight! I DJ-ed a trip-hop focused party in Montreal and it forced me to dig deep into records I used to love so much way back when. Pretty strange to think i’ve never done …
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 …
