High Klassified “Kanvaz” (Fool’s Gold Records)
Fresh off his first platinum plaque, the Laval producer comes through with a stellar and eclectic EP. To think he almost lost it all! Indeed, after having his hard drive stolen mid-performance… all the material for High Klassified’s upcoming album was suddenly lost. Except for one beat that became Future’s …
Exclusive Premiere: Jonny Drop “All This Trouble” (Albert’s Favourites)
‘All This Trouble’ is the first track to land from Jonny Drop’s 2nd album “The Only Sound”. Warm, hazy Jazz is covered by a patchwork of percussion and beats that clearly display his sensibilities as a drummer. This early taste of the new album, due in June, is one of …
They Called It Skweee
Skweee was created in Sweden and Finland in the mid 2000s by a handful of producers using cheap synths (like the Roland Alpha Juno 1) and really anything else they could get their hands on. Skweee (yes, that’s with three E’s) combines nostalgic synth/chiptune leads and bass lines with ’80s …
Exclusive Premiere: Planetself “Breathe The Mantra (feat. Illuminati Congo)”
Planetself consists of Misumami on vocals, Inkswel aka Ras Krishna on production, and Mista Monk on the raps. The bonus track from their debut EP “Breathe The Mantra” is a Jazzy Hip-Hop Soul ode to the concept of ‘Inner Peace’, featuring Mista Monk on raps featuring special guest, the Chicago …
BALANCE – Show #535 (Hosted by Spacewalker)
Winter hibernation’s over and I’m glad to be back! Stayed away from the mic on this first show of the year and simply let the music do the talking, so below you’ll find a longer description than usual…bear with me! If January’s any indication, 2018 should be the year of …
Shrimpnose “Sullen” (Dome Of Doom Records)
Minneapolis producer Shrimpnose brazenly swims upstream against the conventional thought of what sonic attractiveness should be. “Sullen” is a seven-track, 15-minute display of beauty being discovered in the bleakest of moments. Playing like an emo beat tape specifically constructed for a skateboarder on the lam who sips lean along the …
Exclusive Premiere: Pursuit Grooves “Defensive Play” (What Rules Records)
It’s been 3 years since the Toronto-based genre-defying music producer has released a project. During that time Pursuit Grooves was building her graphic/product design alias “MO:delic Arts“, and now she’s back with a heavy hitting industrial yet funky take on instrumental electronic beats that harkens back to the days when the …
Seventeen Years In The Making, Dabrye Completes His Trilogy With Three/Three
For the casual music listener, the name Dabrye might not ring any immediate bells. But for someone who enjoys Experimental Hip Hop, left-field instrumentals, or is a fan of the early-2000s Beat Scene, they’ll tell you that Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye is the one of the original pioneers of approaching …
MIMS Guest Mix: Ash Walker (Deepheads, London)
This mix was inspired by Reggae and Jazz that you can shake a leg to in the dance. I was blown away by seeing Anderson .Paak perform last year in Finsbury Park, and love Kaytranada’s sound. There’s also some other big inspirations of mine in there including Azymuth, Parliament, and …
Exclusive Premiere: Braxton Cook “Pariah (Kiefer Remix)” (Fresh Selects)
‘Pariah’ is the second song to be remixed from singer/saxophonist Braxton Cook’s 2017 debut LP, “Somewhere In Between”. Los Angeles producer and pianist Kiefer re-interprets Braxton‘s original sessions for the track, adding a bass-filled new groove to the beat and replacing the piano with his own solo in it’s place. …
