Forgotten Treasure: El-B “Serious” Zed Bias Remix (2000)
If you are a regular MIMS reader you know all about my undying love for UK Garage and 2step. And if you know about that you probably know that El-B and Zed Bias are my favorite producers on the rougher side of those riddims. I also love tons of others …

Future Classic: Sepalcure “Love Pressure” (Remixes)
What an absolutely ridiculous remix EP right here! Hotflush Records have put quite the team together to remix Sepalcure’s already classic EP even though it came only about a year ago. Sepalcure (Machine Drum & Braille) get the refix treatment from 5 of our favorite artists in cutting edge dancefloor …
Future Classic: Swing & Skip #002
True story about this one: Good homie and head of the Swing and Skip label HGLDT gave a copy of the white label to Julio Bashmore when I was playing with him this summer, but for some reason the vinyl ended up in my pile and I found it a …
Future Classic: Pangaea “Hex”
Just a couple of days ago I was sharing the new Breton EP with the Girl Unit remix as a “Future Classic” selection and now yet again more fire from the same label, Helmlock out of London. This time it’s an absolute burner from the man who calls himself Pangaea. …
Future Classic: Breton “RDI” (Girl Unit Remix)

Future Classic: Machine Drum “Sacred Frequency”
Before I get into this – does anyone else think ‘Sacred Frequency’ is such a great title? It sounds like a track Underground Resistance would have made back in the day. Seriously though, Travis Stewart, a.k.a. Machinedrum has been on fire recently and just dropped 4-track EP on Planet Mu …

Future Classic: Jack Dixon “Seventy Six” Original & Sepalcure Remix
I didn’t mean to feature two Sepalcure related tracks back to back (following last week’s Braille‘s EP), but it’s not like I have control over these things. I mean did you plan what music you’d listen to today when you picked out your outfit this morning? I hope not, because …
Future Classic: Braille “The Year 3000/Leavin’ Without You”
It was love at first hear. I’m talking about Braille‘s Leavin’ Without You. Back in early May I didn’t even get to hear the full track, all I got was about 1-2 minutes of snippet on the Rush Hour website. But that was enough for me to fall for it …
