Future Classic: Mr Beatnick “Synthetes”
I’m just a sucker for deep house and strings. Songs like Pepe Bradock’s “Deep Burnt” and Trackheads’ “Our Music” being the ultimate references for me of course. This little gem from Mr.Beatnick finally came out last week but had been floating around in sets for some time before. As heard …
Forgotten Treasure: Lil’ Louis “Frequency” (1987, Dance Mania)
I had to share this with you all today because I must say that I was pretty happy to find this in a digging excursion today! And for 1$. (mouahahahha!) I had a few Dance Mania records in my collection but this is definitely one of the better ones from …
Moodymann Interview

Forgotten Treasure: Theo Parrish “Heal Yourself and Move” (1998)
It’s late Sunday afternoon in San Francisco and I’m listening to some music that has been my Sunday staple for so long. I don’t know what it is about their music, but Theo Parrish and Omar-S are often my weekend companions. In that sense this track is certainly not ‘forgotten,’ …
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 …
Guest Mix #05: SEAN KOSA (Toronto)
I’ve been bugging good homie Sean Kosa about getting a mix for years and finally it’s here. And 3 hours long!!! Been missing Sean ever since he moved to Kazakhstan (yes, Kazakhstan!), he was one of our best adopted Montrealers. And to this day, I still don’t know what the …
MIMS Guest Mix: DJ LUV (Montreal)

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 …
Larry Levan Interview circa 1991 – KissFM London
Here’s something very special: Over at Soundcloud, an extremely rare UK interview/mix with Larry Levan is now available for your listening pleasure. To put it in context, Levan was in London to play some of the opening nights at Ministry of Sound, a club largely (if not entirely) based on the …
Forgotten Treasure: Round Five Feat. Tikiman – Na Fe Throw It (1999)
Oh my am I ever a sucker for that whole late 90’s german techno meets deep dub music. It’s not for every one out there but for me the sight of a shitty record sleeve written Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound, Maurizio gets my spine tingling… This one came out …
