Future Classic: Oddissee “You Know Where You Are” (Accoustic Version)
You might have heard this one at the very end of our latest radio show (check it out here if you haven’t yet). A very beautiful little nugget from Oddissee and Olivier Daysoul. Taken from Oddissee’s recent and truly excellent album called “People Hear What They See”. Another album coming …
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 …
Future Classic: Freddie Gibbs “Thuggin”
Madlib is still one of my favorite Hip-Hop producers, although his recent output can best be described as prolific (i.e highly fruitful;abundant) producing over 35 albums and releasing 25 mixtapes this past decade alone. Whether it be his critically acclaimed collaboration with MF Doom (the classic Madvillain LP) or with …
“PIU PIU” Documentary : Exploring the Montreal Beats Scene
Today is a pretty special day for us at MusicIsMySanctuary. We are having a release party for a project we’ve been working on for a little while now. The idea was to do a documentary on the actual state of the Montreal beats scene which we affectionately call “PIU PIU” …
Forgotten Treasure: Camp Lo “Uptown Saturday Night” (1997)
Ok let’s do a test. If I say “Luchini” what comes to your mind? Did the entire ‘Luchini’ video play in your mind? You know the one with the fly mamas at the dinner and the robbery with presidents face masks on. Did you just remember how much you love …
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 …
