Future Classic: Krystale & Kaytradamus “Sweet Tooth”
Krystale hit my radar near the end of last year being a part of huge wave of female vocalists from Montreal bringing crazy flavor to the game. I was instantly hooked on her raspy voice that resembles none but, cause of the hard hitting hip-hop vibe I was on that …
Future Classic: C2C “Down the Road EP”
For a week now, I’ve been listening non-stop to the new C2C EP and I don’t really know why. It’s not that I don’t like the concept of groups made up of scratch DJs (the other scratch group from France, Birdy Nam Nam comes to mind) but mastery of an …
Forgotten Treasure: The Arsonists “Fat Laces” (1999)
In terms of how I came across the track, this one’s a doozy. Early Sunday morning, around 8. Wide awake in bed, just chillin’. I used to love to wake up to the radio in the morning back then. I’d look around for some good music on my sub par …
Future Classic: Gonjasufi “MU.ZZ.LE”
This album brings me back to my teenage years because it reminds me of classic rock records mixed up with a weird mystic vibe of a shaman channeling me. A lot of people don’t know that I’m a huge fan of The Doors. Well, Jim Morrisson, their leader has always said that …
Future Classic: Mr. De’ “Backstage”
I just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you. I first heard of Ade Mango Henderson Mainor (better known as Mr. De’) when a friend told me he got one of his tracks polished up by this super-talented veteran producer from Detroit. Not long after, I was made …
Forgotten Treasure: Khan “Say Goodbye” Feat. Julee Cruise (2002)
Say Goodbye is a song produced by Can “Khan” Oral in collaboration with Julee Cruise on the vocals. Originally released in 2001 on the album No Comprendo by Khan of Finland, this gem has gotten even better a decade from then. About a year later, the single came out on …
Future Classic: Full Crate & David Simmons “Without My Heart”
Ohh how did I miss this one? This soulful gem was shared for free in the spirit of the holidays a couple weeks ago through the good peeps at OkayPlayer and Moovmnt.com and features the great combo of Full Crate behind the boards and David Simmons on the vocals. Really …
Future Classic: Gravious “Spatial Dimensions EP”
I first came across Gravious when he released the Junction City EP about a year ago. Mixing all the niceties of techno with the accessibility of dubstep is no small feat but this man seems to have managed to pull it off. In doing so he combines a bouncy experimental …
Forgotten Treasure: James Mason “I Want Your Love” (1977)
I’ve been meaning to write about this one for a little while now. Even after 30+ years, “I Want Your Love” from James Mason remains a mythical track amongst funk & soul heads (and the 100$+ price tag on his LP is a proof of that). James Mason is an …
