Future Classic: Clear Soul Forces “Get No Better”
Ahhh the joy of sharing good music! This amazing track was brought to my attention by good friend and MIMS collaborator FullRange as a potential “future classic”. Well, I gotta agree on that one! Straight out of Detroit, Clear Soul Forces is made up of Wimpy, J-Roc, & E-Fav and …
Lianne La Havas “Forget” (Shlohmo remix)
Shlohmo did a great remix of “Forget” by the British Soul singer Lianne La Havas. This young lady will drop an album at the end of 2012 and she reminds me of Andreya Triana a little because of her sweet voice and her lovely accent. Very cool thing is that she …
Dudley Perkins “Interplanetary Peace Talks 2012 A.U.” (Documentary)
I like watching documentaries, especially about music. And last night, I watched the wonderful documentary about Declaime aka Dudley Perkins. I learnt a lot about the life of this artist and his vision. The duo of filmmakers A.J. Calomay and Paul Dang filmed Dudley from 2003 to 2008 and you …
Future Classic: Shlohmo “Wen Uuu”
It’s been a very busy and productive week for Shlohmo. He released the single for his new EP Vacation due out February 7th and he also put out an awesome remix of Lianne Havas’ song “Forget”. It’s a beautiful track and what is interesting about him is that he is still evolving …
Bullion “Say Arr Ee”
via Boomkat: “Witness the evolution of Bullion’s idiosyncratic oeuvre on his latest, and greatest release for R&S. From his earliest ‘Pet Sounds: In The Key Of Dee’ through to that sideways remix of Model 500, there was never any doubt that the guy was a hugely distinguished talent, but we …
Future Classic: Chuck English “WRKING” Beat Tape
When The Cool Kids where all the hype back in 08’, they definitely brought something to the table that was different and were co-signed by a lot of big underground acts at that time. Without a doubt, the rhyming skills of the duo was really average but they kept it …
Timbaland – True Hollywood Story (Documentary)
For some reason Timbaland doesn’t get as much respect as he should from all the hip-hop and R&B heads. When you ask anyone about him they’ll agree that he’s one of the best and most original producers but it seems that when heads list their favorites they seem to be …
Dela “The Robert Glasper Beat Tape”
Download the new DELA project. A tribute to the dope jazz pianist Robert Glasper. Essential!
Jesse Boykins III “Way Of A Wayfarer EP”
2011 was a great year for quality soulful music and so far the new year is shaping up very nicely with people like Michael Kiwanuka, Robert Glasper and Jesse Boykins. I’ve been loving what he’s been doing since I heard the Machine Drum produced “B4 The Night is Thru” a …
Future Classic: Nameless “16-Bit: Bonus Stages”
I stumbled up Nameless‘ music when I was doing my instrumental radio show back in 2009. He’s a beatmaker from Detroit so expect the rawness typical to the Motor City. He released a lot of beat tapes; some more soul, some more boom bap. And he did one sampling video game …
Future Classic: Grems “Chat Con”
I discovered french rapper (and grapher) GREMS a few years ago when someone gave me a project he worked on called Rouge à Levres which I’ve been playing ever since. Tons of guys who know their shit like Lefto, Onra and my friend Etienne (from the Rhytmologie show in Montreal) …
