Future Classic: Maddslinky “Make a change” LP
Most definitely one of the essential records of 2010 for me. Zed Bias makes a furious comeback under his Maddslinky moniker, not that he’d been away but it had been a while since he’d released under his aka more geared towards broken beat and future soul. For those who are …
Future Classic: Jammer “10 Man Roll”
Pretty good track and even better video from Jammer, recently signed to Big Dada records (affiliated with Ninja Tune). Taking you on a little 4 minute trip of the past, present and future of UK grime. Featuring Boy Better Know members Skepta, JME and Frisco… dope.
Future Classic: Slakah the Beatchild “Something Forever”
What do you get when you mix the flavour of Raphael Saadiq with the musical genius of J-Dilla, then throw it in a pot and season it with a little Stevie Wonder & Quincy Jones? A glimpse into the soulful fresh style & sounds of Slakah the Beatchild. Slakah who …

Future Classic: Aloe Blacc “Good Things”
Following the huge success of the first single “I Need A Dollar”, Aloe Blacc, the talented multi-instrumentalist, is finally releasing his second album for Los Angeles’ Stones Throw record label.

Future Classic: Dam-Funk “Hood Pass Intact” Video
Super dope official video for Dam-Funk‘s now instant west coast new-g-funk anthem “Hood Pass Intact“. The original instrumental version of the track made so much noise off his LP that Stones Throw had to re-release this as a single with brand new full on vocal version from the Dame! I …
Future Classic: Black Milk ft. Royce & Elzhi “Deadly Medley”
Brand new album from Black Milk, Detroit’s heir to the king of the beats throne vacated by sir Dilla. I gave it a first listen and thought i’d share my favorite track so far. It features fellow Motor City cats Royce da 5’9″ and Elzhi on the mic. The album …
