Forgotten Treasure: Daft Punk “Aerodynamic” (Slum Village / Jay Dee Remix)
Can’t believe I’ve never shared this with all of you yet. Not that this J Dilla production is the rarest thing he’s ever done but it’s definitely one of the most interesting and there is quite a bit of controversy around this one amongst Dilla heads. The controversy lies in …
Mick Boogie “Excursions” ATCQ Mixtape
There is a pretty big ATCQ revival going on right now. Not that hip-hop heads ever forgot the significance of the Tribe but let’s just say that the whole Michael Rappaport documentary about them has generated a lof of hype. Mick Boogie, one of the US’ most active DJ’s on …
Future Classic: Blazin’ “Night Career”
I get about 30-40 music submissions every week and to be honest I really don’t give all of them I try. I know I should but let’s just stay I start by eliminating the emails that sound like they were sent to 150 other websites and go from there. I’m …
Future Classic: Cliché “3 Quarters For A Dollar” (Volume 2)
Written by: Max Robin Cliché is a beatmaker from Trois-Rivières. His “3 Quarters For A Dollar” serie is very interesting and affordable. It’s more a challenge to himself than the format to release his music we prefer. A new EP of instrumental beats each few months. The first one was …
Forgotten Treasure: JJ Fad “Supersonic”
JJ FAD which stood Just Jammin’ Fresh & Def‘ were the first female rap group to earn a Grammy nomination and have a platinum record. And to me “Supersonic” beats “Push It” by Salt N’ Pepa any day of the week. It’s pretty funny to think that at some point …
Skratch Bastid “The Entertainer”
Mixtapes and DJ mixes in 2011 have become a pretty trivial thing. Thousands are released every month and to be honest, very few are even worth your attention. Which is why I don’t share a lot of them with you all. To me a good mixtape is a nice blend …

Future Classic: Ras G “Crenshaw Bus”
I’ve been sitting on the promo of this one for a little while now but seeing as I saw it posted on Youtube I guess it’s now “public domain”. In case you missed it I played it on my last MIMS Show #47. The track is off RAS G‘s new …
Future Classic: Max Tannone – Ghostfunk
Written by: Max Robin Mashups are funny. Combining awkardly two completely different music makes interesting results that you listen to one time like a youtube video and never listen to it a second time. The exception is the mashup artist known as Max Tannone. Each of his well combine two …
DIBIASE in Montreal – Video
For anyone who was in Montreal last week and got stopped by a little thing called rain, let me tell you one thing. You seriously missed out! Our guest DIBIASE straight from California was in Montreal for the first time and let’s just say he left a lasting impression to …
Future Classic: FLAKO “The Mesketet”
Extensive collection of low-sprung electro-downbeats by baked beat maker, fLako. All these 25 tracks are previously unreleased or only available digitally and span a rich body of post-Dilla style slump bea’Enter Off Color ts and baroque soul experiments.
