Future Classic: JuJu Rogers “Hungry” (Production by Bluestaeb)
It’s incredible how much free quality music we have access to these days. Case in point, the new compilation on Jakarta records titled “Summer in Jakarta“. The project is full of goodies by great artists like Ta-Ku, Suff Daddy or IAMNOBODI. But my favorite track comes from an emcee I …

Classic Mixes: DJ Shadow & DJ Krush “Mo’ Wax Tour 1994”
One for the history books!!! 20 year old classic mix from 1-9-9-4… We love live sets from back in the day because we know there is no “cheating” involved. More focus on the music itself, programming and general vibe and a little bit less of technical prowess. Amazing lost session …
Future Classic: Rollrgrrl “Repent”
I never thought I’d see the day where my friend’s mom makes it to the MIMS front page! Working hard as a hairdresser during the day, she slaves away at sluggish sizzurp-fueled beats after dark, desperately trying to overpower the harmful side-effects from old-lady perm fumes. It’s a hard-knock life, …
Future Classic: Ohbliv “MindGarden”
With Ohbliv, there is no wrong. The Virginia producer has released some gems in the past, including tapes like “Ritual Swing” and “Raw Oasis“. But on MindGarden, Ohbliv takes it a step further and tries to combine ambient music with soul samples while effortlessly balancing vibrancy with relaxing and oozing …
Future Classic: Matthewdavid “In My World”
Signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, Matthewdavid is one of the upcoming beatmakers that I’ve been paying attention to as of recent, and about a week ago, he released an eclectic new album called “In My World.” Out of the tracks from the album, the self-titled track caught my ear …

Future Classic: Iman Omari ” Vibe Tape +++(3)”
Iman Omari is one of those people who is able to really embrace different genres of music and make it sound raw and authentic. I remember listening to “ESC Vol 2” for the first time and being blown away by the effortless experimentation with jazz, hip-hop, soul and even R&B. …
Forgotten Treasure: Dr.Who Dat “Beat Journey” (2006)
There was a time in the mid 2000s where experimental hiphop was blossoming. Instrumental albums were popping up left and right and Dilla and Madlib were establishing their place in the left field beat pantheon. The broken beat scene was also emerging and Houston producer Jneiro Jarel aka Dr.Who Dat …
