Future Classic: Tall Black Guy “Tempo Dreams”
Faithful readers of MIMS already know that Tall Black Guy is one of our favorite producers around. We probably play a track of his every other show, and the other half of the time, well we probably should have! TBG is a Detroit native, so in addition to his skills with …
Forgotten Treasure : Diane Tell “En pleurer ou en rire” (1977)
Producers of soulful and funky musique Québecoise during the late 70s and early 80s weren’t so numerous. I’m thinking of the duo JF William & Serge Laporte known as Bill, Georges Thurston also known as Boule Noire who ran the Magique record label around that time. As for female singers/composers, …
Forgotten Treasure: Gloria Gaynor “Real Good People” (1975)
If you’re like me, you may have a decent chunk of records in your collection that, for one reason or another, have yet to be discovered. When it comes to music I tend to bite off more than I can chew, but somewhere deep in my subconscious I know that …
Future Classic: Freddie Gibbs “Thuggin”
Madlib is still one of my favorite Hip-Hop producers, although his recent output can best be described as prolific (i.e highly fruitful;abundant) producing over 35 albums and releasing 25 mixtapes this past decade alone. Whether it be his critically acclaimed collaboration with MF Doom (the classic Madvillain LP) or with …
Forgotten Treasure: Camp Lo “Uptown Saturday Night” (1997)
Ok let’s do a test. If I say “Luchini” what comes to your mind? Did the entire ‘Luchini’ video play in your mind? You know the one with the fly mamas at the dinner and the robbery with presidents face masks on. Did you just remember how much you love …

Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: Jel “Greenball 3.5”
These days, way too many hip-hop acts try to make their production sound as “big” as possible often opting for a more polished over-produced sound. So in that sense, Lo-Fi instrumental hiphop albums only available on vinyl form is a bit on an oddball. One guy that certainly is synonymous …
Future Classic: Modlee & VLooper “Sunwalk EP”
Another piece of great news. Just in time for our documentary on the Montreal Beat Scene called “Piu Piu” another one of our homegrown heavyweights, VLooper & Modlee are dropping a wonderful project and this time it’s a release through the good people of Soulection from Cali. V&M are pretty …
