Mix of the Day: FlavorSavor “Flavors of the month 007”
A really nice mix from FlavorSavor aka Sean Rowlands out of LA. Great blend of great house music old and new which is perfect because so much new deep house music sounds very similar to the original recordings from the early 90’s. Nice mix featuring Larry Heard, Moodymann, Mike Huckaby, …
Future Classic: Seven Davis Jr “Friends EP”
It’s no secret that we are big fans Seven Davis Jr. Probably not a surprise either because his blend of organic and soulful club music is the perfect mixture for any soul/funk/hiphop/house head. In case you haven’t heard of SDJR yet, the best current comparaisons I could make are Peven Everett, …
“From Jack to Juke: 25 Years of Ghetto House” Documentary (Sonali Aggarwal, 2012)
“Currently all the rage with hipsters worldwide, Chicago Juke music has roots that run deep. This documentary chronicles the birth and evolution of a genre over 25 years.”
Future Classic: Awanto3 “Pregnant”
Stephanie Mills is an artist I genuinely love, and apart from her soulful Boogie Funk style, it is her unique voice that steals my heart away. The first Stephanie Mills track I ever heard was You Can’t Run From My Love (1982 – produced by Mtume) and I adore this …
Mix of the Day: Seb Diamond & Kyle Kalma “Neon Podcast 11”
With only 1/3 of the summer left to go here is a mix you need to add to the “to-listen” pile, preferably on a sunny day. The mix is part of the NEON series, a collective who have been running some (most) of Montreal’s great electronic music events since 1998. …
Forgotten Treasure: In Touch ft. Ce Ce Rogers “No Love Lost” Lost Mix (1994)
In a perfect world this would have been a crossover smash hit. In reality this was not even close to be a minor hit. This might be due to the fact that the best version was never included on the commercial release. The title of this mix – Lost Mix …
Guest Mix #28: TITEKNOTS (Tru Thoughts, UK)
This great addition to our Guest Mixes series just landed in the inbox and we’re very excited to share this mix from one of our favourite new producers. Titeknots just sort of came out of nowhere and has been killing it these past 12 months. At this time last year …
Future Classic: Lee Webster “Detroit Cheeky Things”
Other than too much commentary about his mighty member and describing himself as a heavenly creature who makes, “vagina music,” there is very little information floating around the interwebs about this German producer. His Resident Advisor biography simply states, “Is this where I’m supposed to tell you how big my …
Future Classic: Dj Fudge & Hallex M feat. Omar “Simpatico”
There’s something about Omar‘s voice that just conjures instant sunny vibes. Yes, the man Omar Christopher Lye-Fook has been blessing beats with his amazing voice since 1985. A well respected veteran in the UK, he is still somewhat under rated everywhere else. It seems every spring these last few years, …
Guest Mix #25: HENRY WU (London, 22a Music)
We’re happy to present this exclusive guest mix coming from Henry Wu, part of the new wave of London’s electronic producers. I discovered him only a few weeks ago through his release on a mysterious label called 22a Music which pressed only 100 copies of both of their first releases. …
Future Classic: KV Records Presents “A Vibe Story – 2014”
KV Records is a label out of France conducted by Kool Vibe. With four releases strong, it’s becoming quickly one of the finest purveyor of authentic yet contemporary 90’s influenced House music imprint. But this is no surprise. One listen at Kool Vibe mixes (https://soundcloud.com/kool-vibe) and you can tell right …
Forgotten Treasure: Scottie Deep Presents Daddy’s Mood “About You” (1994)
House music runs deep in the Kinchen Family. Mark “MK” Kinchen doesn’t needs no introduction. His lesser known brother Scott Kinchen deserves to be rediscover again. Working under different aliases, the most common one being Scottie Deep, he released several outstanding tracks on classics labels such as Strictly Rhythm, 430 …
