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: Shabazz Palaces “Lese Majesty”
I remember being absolutely blown away when I listened to “Black Up“, Shabazz Palaces‘ first record released back in 2011. Members Ishmael Butler (formerly Butterfly from the legendary Digable Planets) and Tendai Maraire are visionaries, at a time where we are in desperate need of them in the music landscape. …
Classic Mixes: DJ Shadow & DJ Krush “Mo’ Wax Tour 1994”
One for the history books!!! 20 year old classic mix from 1-9-9-4… We love live sets from back in the day because we know there is no “cheating” involved. More focus on the music itself, programming and general vibe and a little bit less of technical prowess. Amazing lost session …
Future Classic: The Hamptons “Excess EP”
What is the definition of a “grower” record? To me its music you appreciate right away but you truly start to “get” further down the line as you absorb it a little more. As opposed to a record you play a few songs on repeat but don’t play that often …

Future Classic: Rollrgrrl “Repent”
I never thought I’d see the day where my friend’s mom makes it to the MIMS front page! Working hard as a hairdresser during the day, she slaves away at sluggish sizzurp-fueled beats after dark, desperately trying to overpower the harmful side-effects from old-lady perm fumes. It’s a hard-knock life, …
Future Classic: Ohbliv “MindGarden”
With Ohbliv, there is no wrong. The Virginia producer has released some gems in the past, including tapes like “Ritual Swing” and “Raw Oasis“. But on MindGarden, Ohbliv takes it a step further and tries to combine ambient music with soul samples while effortlessly balancing vibrancy with relaxing and oozing …
Future Classic: Matthewdavid “In My World”
Signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, Matthewdavid is one of the upcoming beatmakers that I’ve been paying attention to as of recent, and about a week ago, he released an eclectic new album called “In My World.” Out of the tracks from the album, the self-titled track caught my ear …
