Future Classic: Cadik “Just”
Clearly the internet is a good thing for music lovers because it makes it so easy to find good music from around the world. Of course, there are labels like Project: Mooncircle that are great for digging out new gems with their compilations making us discover nice beats from all …

From HW&W “Super excited to finally bring you our latest release, Critical Moment EP by none other than Bugseed himself. Hailing from Tokyo, Japan we reached out to homie on some fan shit a while back and here we are today with Critical Moment. This EP is just to give …
Classic Mixes: Kruder & Dorfmeister “Amsterdam Dub Sessions” (2000)
Talk about a nice little discovery right here. A live (turntable!) mix from Austrian downtempo royalty Kruder & Dorfmeister. I haven’t heard a ton of their more recent stuff but I used to bang so much of their jams under their various aliases: K&D, Tosca, Peace Orchestra, Voom:Voom. A really …
Future Classic: High-Klassified “Flexury”
Brand new EP from High-Klassified of the Alaiz collective, one of Montreal brightest new talents. It’s great to see all these young dudes follow in the footsteps of other Montreal producers like Lunice and Kenlo and start making a name for themselves around the world. But more importantly, the crucial …
B.Lewis Interview
We are pretty excited to be helping bring a very good show in Montreal including B.Lewis, a talented up and coming producer from San Jose who we love here. (Event details here). He took a few minutes while on tour so we can all learn a little more about the …
Future Classic: Janet Jackson “If” (Kaytranada Remix)
I first took notice of Kaytra Laboom‘s music via youtube, bancamp and soundcloud and was struck by how he managed to travel through genres and stand out; holding his own with his hard yet minimalist beats. Every time I vibed off of his homecooked beatscapes I was in awe at …
Future Classic: Werkha “Le Roitelet”
With the amount of future beats / soul / post-dubstep (or whatever the hell you choose to call it) it’s real easy to get lost in the shuffle and start hating that whole vibe all together. We certainly have phases where tracks like these get on our nerves and we …
Flako & Dirg Gerner “Honey Drips”
“In a world jaded – caustic with sarcasm and packaged in plastic, fLako is an example of an artist who’s fearless with his humanity. Not a fiend for the limelight, there’s no gimmick to his craft, cos in the end it’s all about an honest, well written tune. A soul-documentarian …
Future Classic: Bonnie Banane “M U S C L E S”
Our good homie ONRA just tweeted me about this early this week and he simply pasted a youtube link with a !! following the link. I was of course very curious. A couple seconds into the clip I was very intrigued by the whole 90’s VHS nostalgia feeling. But still, …
Future Classic: The Room Below “Rapping with Paul White: The Room Below Version”
Henry Kent AKA The Room Below did what few artists attempt in electronic music; a complete cover album. As in, “covers” not “remixes”. Except the rapping, there is no sound samples coming from the “real” Paul White album which came out last year on One Handed Records. So, The Room …
Future Classic: Fulgeance “Step-Thru”
French producer Fulgeance’s new album is coming out very soon as a uber limited-edition CD (500 copies) on the rx:tx label. Coming out on October 15th, I think it will be worth fighting to get your hands on a physical copy for the 12 dope tracks and a dope remix …
