Future Classic: Nemo Achida “Soundtrack”
I’m always interested and curious about any new underground hip-hop talents like Clear Soul Forces, Blu, Ta-Ku, Oddisee, Suff Daddy and CCC to name a few. Last month, I found an awesome single on soundcloud by Nemo Achida that is definitely worth sharing. Here is Nemo Achida’s first single off of …
Future Classic: Nas “The Don” (Massive Attack Remix)
Wow, talk about a great surprise this morning. A remix collaboration coming from by Nas & Massive Attack, two absolute giants of the last 15-20 years. Two artists we’ve loved from day 1 but who haven’t always been bringing their A-game these past years for different reasons. Both have remained …
Future Classic: Krystale & Kaytradamus “The Good Fight EP”
After the success of their first collaboration on “Caught Up (Remix)”, Krystale and Kaytradamus took their partnership a step further to create an EP. The combination of Krystale’s jazzy-raspy voice and Kaytradamus’s inspired and unique beats create one singular whole that could charm everyone. The Good Fight presents five new …
MR. GUAN presents “My Favorite Tracks from TLM Records”
I’ve been wanting to link up with The Loud Minority for a long time now. They are a crew / dj collective out of Vienna, Austria and have been doing their thing for 8 years now and I’ve always been told to respect my elders heheh. No but really I …
Future Classic: SELA “Men Have Secrets, But No Mystery”
It’s been awhile since I found some music that had that dreamy vibe that I’m pretty much always looking for. The title is just so relevant to me: Men Have Secrets, But No Mystery. The beats of SELA put me in a dream and the textures are full with pure and innocent energy. This little piece of magic makes …
Future Classic: Label Love Compilation “Vol.4”
These days in the music industry, the words free and compilation don’t capture my attention as much as they used to. A record can be 30$ on Bandcamp like the most recent LP from Japan’s Jazz Collection and i’ll buy it if it’s good. So the most important characteristic remains …
Future Classic: Tall Black Guy “Tempo Dreams”
Faithful readers of MIMS already know that Tall Black Guy is one of our favorite producers around. We probably play a track of his every other show, and the other half of the time, well we probably should have! TBG is a Detroit native, so in addition to his skills with …
“PIU PIU” Documentary : Exploring the Montreal Beats Scene

Future Classic: Freddie Joachim “The Joachim Remixes Vol. 5”
As always the boys at Moovmnt are on point when it comes to digging out the fuego! This is a new remix package from Freddie Joachim, a producer from San Francisco who we love here at MIMS. The 19 track remix project tackles classics like Little Dragon, Q-Tip, Corrine Bailey …
Future Classic: Jel “Greenball 3.5”
These days, way too many hip-hop acts try to make their production sound as “big” as possible often opting for a more polished over-produced sound. So in that sense, Lo-Fi instrumental hiphop albums only available on vinyl form is a bit on an oddball. One guy that certainly is synonymous …
Future Classic: Modlee & VLooper “Sunwalk EP”
Another piece of great news. Just in time for our documentary on the Montreal Beat Scene called “Piu Piu” another one of our homegrown heavyweights, VLooper & Modlee are dropping a wonderful project and this time it’s a release through the good people of Soulection from Cali. V&M are pretty …
Future Classic: Jesse Futerman “Fuse The Witches” EP
Following on from Jesse Futerman‘s debut EP, Super Basement, last year, he’s now back with Fuse The Witches – a 7-track EP that builds further upon his distinctive jazz-breaks sound. Having already received high praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, OkayPlayer, 3hive, Potholes In My Blog, Pinboard Blog, and a slew of …
