Future Classic: The Room Below “Rapping with Paul White: The Room Below Version”

Henry Kent AKA The Room Below did what few artists attempt in electronic music; a complete cover album. As in, “covers” not “remixes”. Except the rapping, there is no sound samples coming from the “real” Paul White album which came out last year on One Handed Records. So, The Room …

Future Classic: Fulgeance “Step-Thru”

French producer Fulgeance’s new album is coming out very soon as a uber limited-edition CD (500 copies) on the rx:tx label. Coming out on October 15th, I think it will be worth fighting to get your hands on a physical copy for the 12 dope tracks and a dope remix …

Forgotten Treasure: Black Ivory “Mainline” (1979)

I found this album (which has been on my Discogs wantlist for quite some time) at a local record shop just days before djing a disco-only after-party. It’s not rare, it’s not worth much, but it’s good (and that’s what counts). Once in my hands, I couldn’t stop romanticizing the …

Future Classic: Bahwee “Don’t Have Time”

“Don’t Have Time” my favorite track from BAHWEE’s new free project called “Flavors 2” released on the always dope beats label HW&W. Loved the track so much we put it on our last MIMS Radio Show and everytime it comes on we just can’t help but smile and nod. Such …

Future Classic: Romare “Meditations On Afrocentrism” (EP & Video)

An absolutely astounding release this 5 track EP by Romare on Black Acre. I was pretty familiar with the label (Loops Haunt, Hyetal, Dark Sky) but I had absolutely no idea who Romare was. In fact I still don’t except for the fact that he just released what will surely …

Future Classic: Dr. MaD “South EP”

Brand new EP from one of our favorite up and coming producers who also happens to be our good Montreal homie and Alaiz crew member: Dr MaD. The Doc definitely gives the Alaiz crew its soulful side as is confirmed by his own definition of his sound: “Jazz is my mom. Hip-Hop …

Forgotten Treasure: Stevie Wonder “Golden Lady” (1973)

You know one of those days that literally never seem to end. You’ve been up since 6 and still have a thousand things to do. Well it was one of those nights when I made my way up to Studio Soulafy to drop something off for a friend at practice. …

Forgotten Treasure: Carly Simon “Why” (1981)

What I love about our Forgotten Treasures section is that we pretty much make up the rules. Mainly, it doesn’t have to be about uber rare shit. We’re not trying to impress you all the time with our crazy knowledge of Italo Disco or long lost Russian Jazz. Sometimes a …
