Future Classic: Cliché. “3 quarters for a dollar, Vol.3”
I already talked about Cliché this summer but a new volume of his 3 quarters for a dollar series came out not too long ago. It’s an interesting step up from previous work. The swing of the beats (groove or shuffle or what you like to call it) setting is …
Future Classic: Deft “Before Vol. 1”
I am constantly looking for new tracks and artists. I think its not only necessary to collect, but to listen to new sounds. It’s good for my mind because there are always new things to listen and new musical trips to embark upon. I stumbled on Deft, a crazy beatmaker …
Future Classic: Salva “Yellobone” EP (+ Remixes from Shlohmo & LOL Boys)
No offense but I get so many links for promos falling the whole “future” beats umbrella. And as much as I really like that sort of thing, it’s very rapidly starting to get on my nerves. Way too many tracks that sound like they were made in 5 minutes, add …
Future Classic: Kid Koala “Space Cadet” Book + CD
Perfect addition to a chilly Sunday morning in Montreal! “Can you believe it’s been 8+ years since Kid Koala debuted his graphic novel skills on Nufonia Must Fall? Man, time flies! Since that time, the Montreal-based DJ/artist/tablist has been keeping busy touring the globe (with Radiohead no less), collabing on …
Future Classic: Samaritan “Don’t Try Love EP”

Wow, this literally made my day. Actually, I screamed out when I saw this. Gonjasufi is realesing a new EP titled The Ninth Inning on October 24th (in a few days !) and its gonna be a free EP! I have my little story with Gonjasufi: yesterday I released the teaser of …
Future Classic: Evenings “Lately EP”
With Broasddus Nathan aka Evenings, it was love at first sight. I think that at this time of the year in Montreal, music is even more necessary than usual because, as I often say in my articles, the fall does not suit me well. I’m like a wilted flower that …
Forgotten Treasure: K.P & Envyi “Shorty Swing My Way” (1998)
What’s going on here? Is this a one-hit wonder? I think so! Just try looking this duo up on Discogs. Ghost town! Envyi, “now ‘known’ as Sioux Lane” features in a random song or two from the Eastwest Records America Label and has a few amateur-looking youtube submissions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEp5yuAlI2A while …
Future Classic: Ta-Ku “September”
Well .. I know we are in October, but I found this very nice project by Ta-Ku. He said “I will be making a beat a day in September 2011 and uploading here. Take a listen.” He didn’t make it all the way but we can only image what could …
