Future Classic: Andrew Ashong & Theo Parrish “Flowers”
For some reason I use the term “next-level” soul quite often even if I understand that’s it’s pretty much open to interpretation. When I use it I think of people like Shafiq Husayn and the Sa-Ra guys, Plantlife, Taylor Mcferrin, Spacek and so on. To me it’s the kind of …
Future Classic: Jayson Brothers “MCDE 1209”
Now this is our kind of house music right here. That late 90’s sound à la Mood II Swing with a new school twist. A really simple approach to house music that hits all the right spots. A really big EP from from the Motor City Drum Ensemble camp. Also …
Forgotten Treasure: Kerri Chandler “Rain” (1998)
Ok, so there is a bit of a hidden agenda behind this pick. Yes, “Rain” is a certified house anthem, the first track that made me discover Kerri Chandler 10 years ago and then made me want to back track all the way back to the early 90’s to check …
Disclosure Mix on Mary Anne Hobbs’ XFM Show
I must say that amidst this whole wave of nostalgia with the whole 90’s house and garage sound there are very few productions that truly stand out. The one thing that is generally lacking from most of these releases is quite simply originality. I hate listening to a song that …
Future Classic: Koreless “Lost In Tokyo” (Jacques Greene Remix)
Vase head and shadow prince Jacques Greene contributed an ethereal B-side remix of Koreless‘ “Lost In Tokyo“, shedding a light on what may be but a fraction of what the pair still has to offer in the future. The dark yet light revisit holds true to the Jacques Greene-esque untamed …
Forgotten Treasure: Delicious Inc “Eau De Chantè” (1995)
Awwwwwwwww yeahhhhh, this one is undeniable! It might be the DJ in me, but almost every time I hear a great song I tend to romanticize the ideal setting in which it would be played. While house classic Eau de Chantè could probably get any dance floor going, I know …
Future Classic: Sam IRL “Slower Bavarian EP” (Jazz & Milk Records)
I discovered this absolutely deadly four track EP when I was in Vienna a couple days ago with my good homie Mr. Guan from the Loud Minority crew. It was the first thing he put on the turntable when I got to his house and after about 4 seconds into …
Show Review: Moodymann in Vienna (June 2012)
Our faithful readers know that show reviews is not something we do very often. We don’t really see the point of them you know; if you were there then you don’t really need to read it and if you weren’t then you’re just pissed off you missed it. But there …
Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: O.M.A.R-S and L’Renne – S.E.X. The Remixes
With a chorus that asks, “How fast can you do me?”, this track is in a rush to penetrate the hearts of sexy house fans by the plenty. Perfect for those sweaty summer nights, whether you are dancing bare feet on the grass, or half naked in a dirty after-hours …

Theo Parrish “Slices DVD Feature”
I remember seeing Theo Parrish in Montreal a few years ago, closing up Mutek (an “International Festival Of Digital Creativity And Electronic Music”) with a spectacular all-across-the-board vinyl set. Highlights of the night included Fela Kuti, Roy Ayers‘ “Running Away” (a personal favorite) and even The Police! It was a …
