Future Classic: Terry Hunter “We Are One” (DJ Jazzy Jeff Remix)
I have to admit that the first time i heard this track, it was like a big (good) slap in my face and it had been a really long time since a song gave me goosebumps like that! We all know DJ Jazzy Jeff as one, if not, the best …
Future Classic: Jay Shaw “Outre Manche EP” (Rutilance Recordings)
I tend to be really picky when it come down to those new 90’s sounding tracks. Over the last year two French labels have really made an impression on my often hard to please ears : KV Records (Kool Vibe label, I’ll share something of theirs soon) and Rutilance Recordings. …
Mix of the Day: Hubbz “Class of ’95”
Hubbz recently dropped this mid 90’s house mix, reflecting upon his initial exposure to the burgeoning electronic music scene of that era. Here’s what he had to say: “1995 was one of the best years of my life! Graduated high school, moved out of my parents home and into the …
Future Classic: My Love Is Underground Compilation
For the past 15 years or so, an outstanding amount of Jazz, Reggae, Funk, Soul & Disco compilations have been available for the people in order to discover or remember long lost treasures (as we like to call the “forgotten treasures“). The 80’s and 90’s House Music movement have been …
Guest Mix #22: PHILLIE P (Belgrade, Serbia)
Brand new edition in our great Guest Mix series following recent editions from Bolts, Dr. Kwest, Abjo, Waxist and others. This one comes from PHILLIE P, great DJ / Producer and good homie from Serbia who is one of the pillars of the scene in Belgrade. I met him last year …
Future Classic: Deep88 ft Robert Owens “Believe In You”
One of the main thing I feel this whole late 80’s / early 90’s house revival is really lacking : great vocal performances. There’s are many “tracks” and beats around but not that many “songs”. However, here is a very surprising and interesting exception. A new project from Deep88 featuring …
Mix of the Day: Leon Vynehall “Fact Mix 429”
via FACT: “The last two years have seen the South Coast’s Leon Vynehall steadily rise through the UK house ranks. Debuting in 2012 with a brace of records on ManMakeMusic and regularly ahead-of-the-game Brighton label Well Rounded, Vynehall quickly established himself as a dab hand at organic, natural-sounding house music and a …
Forgotten Treasure: Tia Carrere “I Wanna Come Home With You Tonight” (1993)
A big challenge for me would be to choose my ultimate favorite Masters At Work remix. Tough choice indeed. They were just on fire for the most part of the 1990’s decade! One thing that I know for sure is that their early remixes between 1991-1993 were just flowing so …
Forgotten Treasure: Dreamer G “I Got That Feeling” (1992)
Every now and then I get into one of these 90’s Deep House moods which happens to be all the rage right now. Like anything else, the wrong kinda deep house music can be very boring and disposable; the line between great stuff and that loungy elevator house thing is …
Future Classic: Deep 88 & Melchior Sultana “Track 3”
It’s funny (or ridiculous) how sometimes you get lost into music. When I had the chance to come across this project I had no clue who the artists were behind this release. Then I dug back to some new releases I picked up lately to realize I already had a …
Mix of the Day: DJ Evo & Michael Fraser “Love Supreme Promo Mix”
Vancouver Groove Movement, Adventures In Paradise, Michael Fraser and Ginger 62 are delighted to present ‘LOVE SUPREME‘ – a night of global boogie grooves from funk to house and more. Coming all the way from Los Angeles for the launch party will be Jeremy Sole (KCRW/TheLift/Afrofunke), alongside residents DJ Evo …
Forgotten Treasure: The Untouchables aka Kenny Dope “Just Da Way U Want” (1994)
This is truly a special one. A true forgotten treasure which is connected by many others because of the sample it’s based on! A few years before Dilla exquisitely used Minnie Riperton‘s soul masterpiece “Inside My Love” for “The Look Of Love”, I was mesmerized by “Lyrics To Go” by …
