Future Classic: Pac Div “Fallin”
Not always the biggest fan of groups like Pac Div, Cool Kids, etc… They sometimes seen to be more known for the fresh gear they’re wearing rather than the actual music output. I do love this jam though, nice re-interpretation of Andre 3000’s “Prototype”.
Future Classic: S.A. “Rhyme Machine”
Written by: Max Robin Last week, I wrote about Kemet by Intricate Dialect. At the same time, I found another album by another member of the same Abolisionist Project crew. S.A. hails from Detroit. He’s more rough and more direct than Intricate Dialect. The beats are less ambiant and more …
Future Classic: Eman ft. Modlee “Qui” (Produced by VLooper)
For real. Quebec beats and hip-hop are coming into their own. I think that in these past few years most dudes stopped caring about having a video on Musique Plus (our MTV), hoping to be on the radio (which is probably the worst in the universe). Finally in Quebec we’ve …
Future Classic: Intricate Dialect “Kemet”
Written by: Max Robin “Kemet” has many meannings in its hieroglyph form. One is “black” another is “crocodile skin with spines”. I guess it’s not that important because it’s also the name of a new internet release from a rapper with good taste in beats and a large interest in …
Forgotten Treasure: Theo Parrish “Heal Yourself and Move” (1998)
It’s late Sunday afternoon in San Francisco and I’m listening to some music that has been my Sunday staple for so long. I don’t know what it is about their music, but Theo Parrish and Omar-S are often my weekend companions. In that sense this track is certainly not ‘forgotten,’ …
Future Classic: Machine Drum “Sacred Frequency”
Before I get into this – does anyone else think ‘Sacred Frequency’ is such a great title? It sounds like a track Underground Resistance would have made back in the day. Seriously though, Travis Stewart, a.k.a. Machinedrum has been on fire recently and just dropped 4-track EP on Planet Mu …
Future Classic: Funkineven “Roland’s Jam” Video
More mental shit coming out of the EGLO stable. Run by Alex Nut and Floating Points it is definitely one of our favorite labels out there. This one is right up there in terms of next level-ness! Another burner from Funkineven. I’ve been on to that guy ever since he …
Future Classic: SBTRKT – LP
Big big one right here! SBTRKT‘s been making some major noise these past year with one of the most polished interpretations of the UK dancefloor bass-isms. It’s no surprise that his work is just so well produced when you know of his previous background under his slightly less mysterious moniker. …
Future Classic: Grizzly Discovery Remix Year of the Satellite
Written by: Max Robin Good remixes that aren’t at the same level of the originals are sadly quite often the case. That being said some “perfect” work doesn’t need reworking. Of course the marketing department likes the idea of another big name not far from the song but it’s certainly …
