Future Classic: Gonjasufi “MU.ZZ.LE”
The new album by Gonjasufi on Warp could be also considered his first. He’s been around for a long time but it also seems to me like the first time he’s not collaborating or in the shadow of anyone else. I first heard his high-pitched singing on Flying Lotus’ first …
Future Classic: Randomer “Scruff Box / Get Yourself Together” (Hemlock)
Holy shit! Now that’s what I’m talking about. Enough with the R&B samples and the weak sounding drums. Let’s get back to the RAW with this amazing new 12″ from Randomer. Hemlock is usually one of our favorite labels but this one has to rank right up there amongst their …
Forgotten Treasure: MK “Love Changes” (1993)
There has been a sort of MK revival amongst house heads lately. An interest in returning to a more soulful but still very bumpy sound. Lord knows those two things right there were Marc Kitchen‘s trademark. Although I wasn’t there to enjoy it at the time, the early to mid …
Future Classic: Kaytradamus “Kaytra Nada”
It’s no secret to our usual MIMS followers that young Kaytradamus is one of our favorite new producers around, and it just so happens that he’s from our hometown of Montreal. But make no mistake, we would be talking about him if he was from the Fiji Islands. Let’s face …
Future Classic: D33J “1752A”
Perfect soundtrack to the last snowy days of the year, D33J‘s calm and spacey style brings an appeasing break before the hectic rhythm of the upcoming months. Reminiscent of WeDitIt labelmates Shlohmo and Jonwayne‘s less eclectic productions, D33J still retains the essence of what defines the structure of the new …
Future Classic: Jacques Greene “Arrow” (Concealer EP)
I just had this recommended to me by a friend. I’ve got some spare time this weekend so I knew I was going to blog about something. Here are a few of the reasons why I chose this track in particular. Firstly, it’s always nice when the drop in a …
Forgotten Treasure: Black Action Committee / Nick Holder (1998)
Black Action Committee, Black Jazz, Blackman, The Black Section: I’m sensing a theme here and I think I like it. I think you will too and that’s why I’ve decided to stay up last night to make sure you get a good quality listen. This soulful release sounds like Chicago, …
Future Classic: Alaclair Ensemble “America” / “Dans l’South du Bas”
Although the guys Alaclair Ensemble have been our good homies for a long time they still manage to surprise us. All these guys have been doing music for a long time but it’s like the Alaclair project created the perfect storm of creativity and crazyness. And not to mention, pretty …
Forgotten Treasure: The Whispers “Keep On Loving Me” (1983)
I was racking my brain to find a “forgotten treasure” gem to share with you all and I remembered a bunch of cool stuff played by the homie Lefto last night in Montreal, as expected goodies from left and right, new and old. Just the way we like it over …
