Forgotten Treasure: Kadenza “Let’s Do It” (1982)
What an absolute killer 80’s boogie track from 1982 out of the UK. Let’s Do It by Kadenza was released by PRT Records (previously known as Pye Records) and up until Niles from Moovmnt.com (awesome site, check it out!) posted about this, I had no idea about this gem! Not …
Forgotten Treasure: Howard Jones “Like to get to know you well” (1985)
Holy crap what a glorious piece of 80’s cheese! I was too young when this came out (1984) to remember this but it’s just the kind of song that you’ve heard a couple times in your life, maybe at the hair dresser, in a taxi cab, something like that. Anywhooo. …
MOOVMNT.com presents “The Future of Funk”
The MOOVMNT crew out of Amsterdam just dropped a fresh new mix called ‘The Future of Funk’ with almost 45 minutes of Modern Funk. All the heavy hitters are here: Zed Bias, Onra, Opolopo, Ulysses82, and tons more. Moovmnt has been one of my favorite spots to do some digital …
Future Classic: Steve Arrington “Goin Hard” (produced by Dam-Funk)
Pretty much anytime that mister Dam-Funk drops a new project I pay very close attention. Other than his great talent, I really respect the dude and his entire approach to music. I had the pleasure of playing with him in 2009 (check out the recorded set here) As Stones Throw …

Forgotten Treasure: Prince “Chelsea Rodgers”
It’s Prince Rogers Nelson‘s birthday and I thought that the least I could do is pick a track from his absolutely insane repertoire. At 53 years young, he is one of the last legends that we still have. “Chelsea Rodgers” was the 2nd single off the “Planet Earth” record released in …
Future Classic: 6th Borough Project “One Night In the Borough”
Following three separate EPs, the build-up to 6th Borough Project‘s debut full-length culminates in this CLASSY matte-sleeve 3xLP release. You already know the deal with these dudes – they’re one of the top dogs in the nu disco/slo-house category, constantly killing it with tasteful edit/productions, which are built on the …
Forgotten Treasure: Oran “Juice” Jones – The Rain (1986)
Ok so I know it’s been a streak of a couple really cheesy selections of our forgotten treasures segment, but to me it’s a very fine line between awesome cheese and smelly old cheese. And as you know, well… we know the difference. Anyways, today’s suggestion is from my homie …
Forgotten Treasure: Talking Heads “Cross Eyed and Painless” (1985)
Was doing a studio session with good friend Scott C aka The Incubator and I was talking about my latest string of forgotten treasures posting that are on the “obscure pop” side of things. He told me I had to check out this video on IG Culture‘s website. Sooo dope. …
Forgotten Treasure: The System “You Are In My System” (1982)
My homeboy Phil Larochelle (check his Mixcloud page!) sent me this nugget today. I knew the Robert Palmer version of this track but I don’t think I had ever heard that track. You can be pretty sure an act is gonna be an act is destined to be a one …
Guest Mix: Dj Sagewondah “BoogieBreaks vol.1”
Brand new 80’s heat from the man called Sagewondah. It’s pretty funny cause I’ve been running into Sage for about 10 years, us being to MTL Dj’s and all but for some reason we only started talking and hanging out these last few years. He’s a good dude, great DJ …
