L’Orange is a beatmaker from North Carolina; he isn’t from a french speaking country, as the name might suggest. He has been putting out projects that are mostly instrumental hiphop for quite some time now. The new release, The Mad Writer, doesn’t have the same precise conceptual effort of his …
Future Classic: Toast Dawg “The Love Loop”
When it comes to doing write ups on the music of good friends of mine, I always really take my time. I really want to be as objective as I can be and give the project an honest opinion. And of all the artists I know personally, Toast Dawg (also …
Future Classic: Booty Based Mob Compilation “Vol. 1”
I will never forget the fateful night my friends Bongiovanni, Sparkz and Compton Chic (Booty Based Mob) started their first weekly residency “Booty Bakery”, an MTL soiree devoted to rump-shaking tunes (or as they would call it “music for dem asses”). It was a really warm evening and the crew …
“The View From The Other Side” J-Dilla – A European Remembrance

Future Classic: SOHN “The Wheel”
Every time we do a show there is always one track that we wanted to include and just totally slips by. And then you hear it again and you just curse yourself for forgetting about it. Arrrrgh. I mean, our last MIMS Radio Show (#60!) is still filled with tons …
Future Classic: Tomato Jonez “Don’t Call It A Comeback”
We very rarely share releases in the “future classic” section without taking some time to listen to it a few times to absorb it. This time it’s different. We got a message from Gino Paul aka Tomato Jonez hitting us up about his new release aptly called “Don’t Call It …

Future Classic: Black Atlass “Black Atlass EP”
Last winter, my sister put me onto the melodic and low-fi sounding Black Atlass, and I’ve been following him ever since. Sang his praises to all my friends repeatedly and forced my co-workers to listen to his soundcloud daily in the office. To say the least, I am a very …
Future Classic: Kidkanevil & Daisuke Tanabe “Kidsuke”
The first results of the “KIDSUKE” collaboration between UK beatsmith Kidkanevil and Japanese producer Daisuke Tanabe brings the usual quirky feeling but is very cohesive and a bit less all over the place than their usual solo productions.
