Forgotten Treasure: Horace Andy “Get Down” (1985)
Everytime we put together an edition of our side project called 24 Hours of Vinyl we walk away with tons of amazing discoveries from the 15 DJ’s who came share their finest nuggets with us. The 11th edition in San Francisco was no different and might actually have been the …
Future Classic: Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble “Pittsburgh Sunset”
Back from L.A., where I had the chance to play an all 45’s set at the world famous Funkmosphere night at The Virgil, assist to the Beat Swap Meet, and meet some of my favourite artists. This week’s show marked the 1st year anniversary of Voyage Funktastique, and the best …
Future Classic: JuJu Rogers “Hungry” (Production by Bluestaeb)
It’s incredible how much free quality music we have access to these days. Case in point, the new compilation on Jakarta records titled “Summer in Jakarta“. The project is full of goodies by great artists like Ta-Ku, Suff Daddy or IAMNOBODI. But my favorite track comes from an emcee I …
Future Classic: Boundary “Still Life”
A year and a half after releasing his self-titled album under the Boundary moniker, Montreal producer Poirier returns with his second release, Still Life. Since its inception, the project has already grown from a personal, introspective listening experience to a common, shared performance, with a live rendition of the tracks …
Future Classic: Dagmxy “ASA”
There’s a lot of reasons why I look forward for my weekly show, and one of them is to showcase guest mixes from Dj’s that I look up to; in this week’s episode, it was Hotthobo’s turn to provide the modern funk vibes, and he didn’t disappoint with a few …
Future Classic: NY*AK “New Ways EP”
Really strong 4 track EP by newcomer Andrew Scott aka NY*AK on the Fifty Fathoms Deep label, for fans of the moody slo-mo house vibe. It’s a vibe that although we do love every now and then, is a bit frustrating to follow as is it a bit difficult to …
Forgotten Treasure: Slick Rick “Mistakes Of A Woman” (1991)
Slick Rick is often recognized as the greatest hip-hop storyteller, with his instantly recognizable laid-back flow and British accent. Much like Q-Tip, Bahamadia, Butterfly from Digable Planets, I could listen to Slick rap the phone book. Originally from South Wimbledon, England, Slick Rick moved with his family to The Bronx in …
Future Classic: Amin Payne & Ben Bada Boom “Uturn Meon” (Suff Daddy Remix)
In this week’s Voyage Funktastique show, the good homie Dr.MaD dropped by for an all-vinyl set in the second half of the show with some fresh new jams he brought back from his trip to NYC. On my part, there’s this remix from German producer-extraordinaire Suff Daddy that just came …
Future Classic: Munro “BYOG/SIDWIR”
Very nice EP filled with summery vibes courtesy of young London-based producer Munro on the up and coming XVI Records out of Vancouver, Canada. Mid-tempo or Slow Deep House is a tricky thing. For me it’s sometimes very hard to differentiate the tracks that are 9’s and 10’s from the …
