Future Classic: Kaytranada “Kaytra Todo”
You love to hear the story, again and again. The promising up-and-comer, young enough to be in touch with the spirit of the times, wise enough to carry on tradition, as he rises through the ranks and aces every test for us to see. For those like myself, that’s exactly …
Future Classic: Oh No “Disruptive Ads”
There is no doubt that OH NO‘s escapade with the Alchemist as part of the Gangrene duo seems to have made him a bit “harder” in his sound. The Stones Throw family is very present on the new solo album called “Disruptive Ads” (out on Fat Beats), in the form …
Karriem Riggins “Chopped Worm”
Karriem Riggins tribute to Leroy “Sugarfoot” Bonner (1943-2013) “My idea was to chop a song that is so important to hip hop and also pay homage to 1 of the funkiest groups from one of the funkiest states. Ohio Players’ music will forever be relevant! RIP Sugarfoot.” Karriem Riggins lives …
Kaytranada “LFTF Guest Mix”
via LiveForTheFunk.com: “As much as it feels weird to even use the phrase “beat scene” in 2013, you’d be hard pressed to find something more representative of this archaic term than what’s going on in Montreal, Canada right now. Seemingly out of nowhere, a thriving crop of up and coming …
Future Classic: Souleance “La Beat Tape”
The difference between an album and a “beat tape” is very open to interpretation, everyone has their own definition. In this case, the new offering by French duo Souleance (DJ Soulist and Fulgeance) called La Beat Tape, seems a little rougher around the edges at first listen then last year’s La …
Future Classic: Jaw Jam “The Truth”
With a catalog of about 15 tracks released in 2012, Jaw Jam proves to be one of the most prominent artists of the new generation of producers. Will DiMaggio, his real name, was first noticed by LFTF with whom the 19 year old beatmaker released his first ‘Untitled’ EP about …
Future Classic: Melodiesinfonie “Wohlklänge EP”
We get so many “beat tapes” or instrumental records that it’s been hard to keep track, and frankly it’s pretty rare that a new player jumps out at you. But these last few weeks / months we’ve been really feeling the work of the young Swiss producer by the name …
Future Classic: Ta-ku “25 Nights for Nujabes”
Ta-ku is truly one of the most talented and prolific new producers out there but not only that, the guy is mad generous too. Last year the Australian producer started a project that was pretty ambitious: a 50 day tribute to the late J Dilla, one production per day, an …
Future Classic: Ryan Hemsworth “Last Words”
What I like the most about this time of year (no, it’s not eggnog) is that I can catch up on some music I might have missed; one exemple is the Last Words EP by Ryan Hemsworth, a 9 track affair that was released in September (although at 37 minutes, …
Future Classic: Kenlo Craqnuques “Tomates”
Just a few days before christmas and Kenlo Craqnuques, one of our favorite producers on our little planet hits us up with a brand new volume in his series of coloured themed plates. And like everything else he releases, it’s completely free. (But hopefully people at least realize the artistic and monetary value) Tomates, …
Forgotten Treasure: The Midnight Eez “Midnight Eez EP” (1995)
Every music nerd loves a good story about a rare record, a group that never got their due, a guy that bought a 20,000$ record for 50 cents or even the story this year that came out of this guy that bought a ton of J Dilla’s personal record collection …
