Future Classic: Brian Ellis “Love Is” Ft. Egyptian Lover (Voltaire Records)
It’s been another great week regarding Modern Funk discoveries, but I just couldn’t overlook Brian Ellis‘ new 45, now available on Voltaire Records. In last week’s edition of my Voyage Funktastique radio show, I played the B-side, Electric Body feat. K.Maxx, so it was only natural that I play the …
Future Classic: Dj Fudge & Hallex M feat. Omar “Simpatico”
There’s something about Omar‘s voice that just conjures instant sunny vibes. Yes, the man Omar Christopher Lye-Fook has been blessing beats with his amazing voice since 1985. A well respected veteran in the UK, he is still somewhat under rated everywhere else. It seems every spring these last few years, …
Future Classic: Proh Mic “Right On Time” (Cherries Records)
For this week’s show, I had Dr.MaD who came by to drop a few exclusives, so I had to be a little more selective with my tracks selection. I realized that I haven’t played one of my favourite 45’s : Proh Mic – Right On Time , released on Cherries …
Future Classic: Eomac “Spectre” (KilleKill Records)
We don’t cover a ton of techno records and artists on MIMS but it’s certainly not because we don’t love it. We just like to highlight records that are as enjoyable in headphones as they are on a massive sound system in a club. And thats not always an easy …
Future Classic: Keats Collective “Volume 5”
I was preparing my weekly Voyage Funktastique radio show with the intention to play some of the records I bought last week-end in NYC, and Lillo Thomas’ (You’re A ) Good Girl was on deck, from the album Let Me Be Yours (1983). It has that “Kashif” sound, and my homegirl …
Forgotten Treasure: J.J Barnes “You Owe It To Yourself” (1973)
I’m dedicating this write-up to Sam Shepherd (aka: Floating Points) as he’s set to spin a 5 hour set in Montreal this evening, which will most likely include (but not be limited to) quality gems from his enthusiastic and extensive collection of Soul, Funk and R&B. Born Again is an …
Forgotten Treasure: Bora Rokovic “Nona” (1980)
I often say that the greatest thing about vinyl records are the stories that come with them. The sound quality, the artwork, putting the needle on the record all add to the magic. But for me, the real beauty comes with the context in which you got the record. You …
Future Classic: Monk-E “Le seul chemin”
Monk-E has been on the scene for a minute and recently gained notoriety as the Canadian champion in the End of the Weak MC competition. A deadly pengame has always been the major characteristic for the MTL spitter, however his artistic expression has always extended beyond rhymes as he is …
Future Classic: KV Records Presents “A Vibe Story – 2014”

With four releases strong, it’s becoming quickly one of the finest purveyor of authentic yet contemporary 90’s influenced House music imprint. But this is no surprise. One listen at Kool Vibe mixes (https://soundcloud.com/kool-vibe) and you can tell right …
