Future Classic: C2C “Down the Road EP”
For a week now, I’ve been listening non-stop to the new C2C EP and I don’t really know why. It’s not that I don’t like the concept of groups made up of scratch DJs (the other scratch group from France, Birdy Nam Nam comes to mind) but mastery of an …

Future Classic: Gonjasufi “MU.ZZ.LE”
This album brings me back to my teenage years because it reminds me of classic rock records mixed up with a weird mystic vibe of a shaman channeling me. A lot of people don’t know that I’m a huge fan of The Doors. Well, Jim Morrisson, their leader has always said that …

Back in Sept. 2011 the good people at Stones Throw brought you the first installment, James Pants Beat Archive Pt. 1, aka“JP Failed Rap Beats 2004-2008.” In the words of the producer himself, this series is, “from a vast collection of oddities, soddities, and heresies from back in the days when …
Future Classic: Cyne “Wasteland Vol. 1”
When I worked at CHYZ, a radio station in Quebec City, I was doing research and discovering new stuff all the time. It’s at that time when I opened up to so much amazing indie rap. Interesting folks like the Fake Four Inc. label but also a group from Florida …
Stevie Wonder “Too High” (Tall Black Guy Remix)
from @_TallBlackGuy: “Stevie Wonder’s “Too High” joint is so sick to me. I really haven’t heard anybody outside of Madlib flip it for the Alkaholiks-“All Night” joint, which was sick! I’ve always wanted to sample it and turn it into somthing else funky, so I took a few days on …
Future Classic: Greenwood Sharps “Things Familiar EP”
These days in Montreal, it’s cold outside there’s very little sunlight and my bank account is empty, i’m always a bit sad but still try to think positivly. I just want to be in a huge forest in the springtime but I guess for now I have to endure it …
Knxwledge “Sincei” (Etta James RIP)
It bugs me when people are too quick with the whole tribute thing when we lost a music legend, sometimes it reeks of opportunism. But hey, when it’s well done and it’s coming from an artist like Philadelphia’s KNXWLEDGE, who we love here… you just can’t find a whole lot …
Kutmah “Throwing Stones” (Stones Throw Podcast)
Considering the fact that we have mad love for everything Kutmah does, we don’t share nearly enough of his stuff here. He’s a really interesting artist originally from the UK, who moved to LA when he was 12. He then became an important member of the Dublab radio collective, and …
Future Classic: Sonnymoon “2012 EP”
Its weird because when I discovered this group it was when they release a cover of a “Houstanlavagas” by Drake. And people who know me personally know that I’m not the biggest fan of the guy, in fact I make fun of him all the time. But Sonnymoon did an …
