Future Classic: Sam IRL “Slower Bavarian EP” (Jazz & Milk Records)
I discovered this absolutely deadly four track EP when I was in Vienna a couple days ago with my good homie Mr. Guan from the Loud Minority crew. It was the first thing he put on the turntable when I got to his house and after about 4 seconds into …
Show Review: Moodymann in Vienna (June 2012)
Our faithful readers know that show reviews is not something we do very often. We don’t really see the point of them you know; if you were there then you don’t really need to read it and if you weren’t then you’re just pissed off you missed it. But there …
Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: O.M.A.R-S and L’Renne – S.E.X. The Remixes
With a chorus that asks, “How fast can you do me?”, this track is in a rush to penetrate the hearts of sexy house fans by the plenty. Perfect for those sweaty summer nights, whether you are dancing bare feet on the grass, or half naked in a dirty after-hours …

Theo Parrish “Slices DVD Feature”
I remember seeing Theo Parrish in Montreal a few years ago, closing up Mutek (an “International Festival Of Digital Creativity And Electronic Music”) with a spectacular all-across-the-board vinyl set. Highlights of the night included Fela Kuti, Roy Ayers‘ “Running Away” (a personal favorite) and even The Police! It was a …
Four Tet “Conference of the Birds” Mix
It’s been a few weeks since Four Tet (Keiran Hebdan) released his new mix of spaced-out jams and judging the amount of plays on Soundcloud, I’m assuming most of you have already heard it. Don’t feel bad if you haven’t though; it’s hard to keep up-to-the-minute in this day and …
Future Classic: KiNK “Yako”
Ugggggghhhhhhh! Is it my impression or did we all sleep on this absolutely insane tune from 2011? Next…level. I want to cry. If I didn’t know better, I’d say this was a collabo between two of my favorite producers: Butch (especially skilled at layering minimal house and/or tech beats to …
Gilles Peterson – The Last BBC Radio 1 “Worldwide Show”
Don’t mean to sound overly dramatic one this one but this is definitely the end of an era: for the last 14 years Gilles Peterson has been a source of inspiration with his weekly “Worldwide” show on BBC Radio1. I discovered Gilles through a CD I bought in the late …
808 Posters
A series of informative posters detailing how some of the most notable drum sequences were programmed using the Roland TR-808 Drum Machine. Each sequence has been analyzed and represented as to allow users to re-programme each sequence, key for key. If you would like an A3 print contact the artist …
Gilles Peterson “Soundsystem Culture and Dancefloor Retrospective” – BBC Radio1
It’s really strange for me to listen to the last few Gilles Peterson Worldwide shows on BBC Radio1. Other than the Montreal people who have helped and influenced me along the way, Gilles has always been my biggest influence. I started listening to the show in 2001 and have been …
Future Classic: Karizma “Collection 1999 – 2011”
Karizma seems to be perpetually busy, putting out both beats and mixes on his Soundcloud accounts (for those who didn’t know, his alter-ego is Kaytronik). Unlike a lot of musicians out there today, showcasing a steady accumulation of work doesn’t make for a diluted collection. That is one of the …
