Future Classic: iL – apoLLo1ne3hree
You probably remember some other classics by always interesting italo german label Error Broadcast like Cailloux Germés by KenLo or Five-Fingers Discount by russian mastermind DZA. But they keep the good sound flowin’ with another “not-free-but-the-mp3-at-192kps-is” releases with a new artist iL. Surprisingly, ApoLLo1ne3hree is more of an ambient affair. …

Forgotten Treasure: Groove Chronicles “Stone Cold” (1997)
Straight up this is probably my favorite 2step track of all time. Yes, it does fall under the whole UK Garage family tree but it is probably one of the few tracks that describe what the whole 2step sub-genre was. Rolling bassline, Skippy beats, Soulful vocal bits. For any of …
Future Classic: MFP “Future Hopes”
Now this is some good news right here. First off because I got a promo copy of the new Brownswood Recordings project. The label is Gilles Peterson‘s brainchild and has been on quite a tear since its first releases with Ben Westbeech and Jose James a couple of years back. …

Very very strong EP coming all the way from La France. Hazel is a guy that is not getting the love he deserves but it’s only a question of time really. When Onra told me about his project of starting a label I didn’t think he was gonna start it …
Forgotten Treasure: Home Team “Pick it up” (1992)

Future Classic: Wiley “Numbers in Action”
Ahhhhh. Sigh of relief… Wiley returns to the Ninja Tune / Big Dada label on which he released one of his best records: 2007’s “Playtime is over” The Eskiboy himself is back on top of a really minimal but effective production that follows in the footsteps of his collaboration with …
Future Classic: Omar “Dancing” produced by Zed Bias
Ohhhh my lord. An absolute instant classic. The Zed Bias and Omar tag team strike again. Last year they teamed up on the Maddslinky record for the absolute dancefloor bomb “Special” which was for me the single of 2010. “Dancing” picks up where “Special” left off. A perfect mixture of …
