Future Classic: Dorian Concept “Her Tears Taste Like Pears” EP

Future Classic: Dibiase “Sound Palace”
Nowadays it’s easy to get lost in the sea of “beat” producers. Seems there are 10 new producers putting out beat tapes so it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the generic stuff from the real shit. Fortunately, with Dibia$e it’s not too difficult. The LA (yes, another dope dude from LA) producer …
Future Classic: Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX “Home”
I wasn’t convinced I liked the idea of this project when I heard the first “official” (remix) single from Jamie XX. For me touching Gil Scott-Heron‘s is a very slippery slope and I wasn’t crazy about “NY is Killing me” for some reason while everyone seemed to be loving it. …
Brainfeeder BBC Radio1 Takeover
Just a few months into his move from 1xtra to BBC Radio 1, Benji B is stepping it up in a major way. Last week his guest was J Rocc and now comes this absolutely nuts show. Flying Lotus and the Brainfeeder take over the studio and deliver 2 hours …
Future Classic: U-N-I “Donkey Kong” (Produced by Dibia$e)
I’m always a sucker for a good Super Nintendo 8bit beat every now and then… I don’t know all that much about U-N-I other than they are from Inglewood, California. I do however keep close tabs on DIBIA$E productions. He’s another one of those ridiculously talented Los Angeles guys. Seriously, …
Future Classic: Wagon Christ “Manalyze this”
I don’t have to tell you how much I am excited for this new release. I am such a Luke Vibert groupie. Always loved everything he does under his multiple aliases: Kerrier District, Ace of Clubs, Plug, and in this case Wagon Christ. “The one and only Luke Vibert returns …
Future Classic: Declaime “Dr. Shrooman”
Brand new release (ok it came out 2 months ago) from the extraterrestrial living among us we also call Declaime aka Dudley Perkins. Everything he’s ever put out is on that next level and based on first listen this project is no different. Production by Koyto from Spain. Declaime’s Bandcamp
Future Classic: Morgan Zarante “Hookid EP”
First Hyperdub drop of 2011 – a stone cold future funk winner from Spacek’s Morgan Zarate. Over the last few years he’s cropped up on the Beat Dimensions and Fat City’s Producer #1 comps, from where his ‘M.A.B’ neck-snapper was lifted and sifted into Kode 9’s DJ-Kicks mix. Opening statement …
Future Classic: Bullion “You Drive Me To Plastic”
It’s been a long time coming. Bullion’s “non-LP” for Young Turks is ready to buy and it’s a 20 minute megamix that takes in motorik sounds, disco, 80s synth-pop, hiphop, prog and much more. Limited etched LP and cheap download available. Get it while the getting’s good. Buy from Bullion’s …
Lunice “Stacker Upper” Digital Version – Out Now!
Finally Lunice‘s debut, the “Stacker Upper” EP is now out on LuckyMe and available in both digital and crisp vinyl version. Lunice has been one of Montreal’s rising stars for a few years now and it’s all coming together. He’s a really talented producer, dancer and pretty much all around …
Future Classic: DAMU the Fudgemunk “More Supplies”
Been really digging DAMU these past few months. I’ve played a few of his tracks in previous podcast but I think this EP is definitely the first one that I need to buy on vinyl. “More Supplies” is a really strong 5 track EP on clear vinyl. We definitely need …
Future Classic: Accrophone Beat Session vol.1
Some Quebec City heat for you all. Accrophone are a duo that have been putting out tracks for about 5-6 years now and if you ask me they are now fully coming to their own. Claude Bégin and E-Man are also vital members of the Alaclair Ensemble collective (with Kenlo, …
