Future Classic: Romare “Love Songs EP” (Black Acre Records)
Finally, Romare’s new four track “Love Songs: Part One” EP on Black Acre is out! We are really excited for the good news but could it possibly match our high expectations? Yes, it does. Last years’ ‘Meditations on Afrocentrism’ EP was definitely one of our favorites of 2012. It was such a …
Future Classic: DJ Koze “Amygdala” (Pampa Records)
When it comes to house and techno, I like to think I’m a pretty strict guy. Most of the dance tracks that come out these days are mind-numbingly boring and predictable to me (not to mention excessively filtered and over-produced). I’ll almost always favour sounds that are “raw and gritty” …
Future Classic: Levon Vincent “Specks Jam”
This was one of the very last cuts that got left out of our last MIMS Show but I kind of regret it now. Let’s be honest though, this track will probably find its way on one our mixes at some point as it is indeed a “future classic“. You regular …
24HOV Mixes: IRON GALAXY (Montreal)
Another really great mix taken from the 7th edition of the 24 HOURS OF VINYL in Montreal (March 2nd 2013). This one comes from IRON GALAXY who is really starting to make heads turn with releases on Audio Culture, Late Night Tales and Turbo Records. He came through for an …
Luke Mckeehan Interview (Vancouver, Nordic Trax)
It gives me great pleasure to present to you the one and only, Luke Mckeehan; a trailblazer in his own right, the man wears many hats on the daily grind. Internationally he’s known as a world class house DJ and the founding father of Canada’s perennial house label, Nordic Trax. …
Future Classic: Bakey Ustl “A Tender Place / Nose Candy”
The first time I heard A Tender Place, I was just waiting for the change up to happen, or for something to break in the song and the more I waited, the more avant-garde the song became. I didn’t know what to expect next, if the track would pick up …
Lexis (Founder of MIMS) Guest Mix on Phonographe (France)
A cool little mix I did for Phonographe from France, one of my favorite sites out there. All 90’s house. All Vinyl! “Montréal is well-known around the world for its different music scenes (indie, abstract, techno, house) quality events (FIJM, Osheaga, Igloofest, Mutek). In this city, one of the missing …
Guest Mix #11: AZAMAT B. (France)
Our good friend AZAMAT B hooked us up with a mix last year and we loved it so much that we asked him for another one. Cause… When it’s nice you do it twice! This new one is just absolutely great for the winter time. Different shades of techno, house, …
Future Classic: Dntl “My Orphaned Son” (Die Vögel Remix)
Initially coming across this release because of the Herbert remix it contains, I was happily surprised by the flip. One of those times a curious couple clicks pays off, ending in you sitting on two hot tunes instead of one. B-Side surprise is where it’s at! This one comes from …
Rilly Guilty “Golden Sounds Vol.5”
One of our favorite dudes is back with his 5th slice of the Devil’s Pie. Rilly Guilty is a DJ / Producer from Montreal who we’ve done tons of quality shows with in the past (Untold, Mount Kimbie, Altered Natives, etc…). He is one of the names that is synonymous …

Recorded between his studio in Detroit and the Red Bull studios in Cologne and Toronto, ‘Sketches’ features contributions from Larry Mizell, Dumminie Deporres, IG Culture, and the Rotating Assembly, all spreading the vibes hip …
Future Classic: Detroit Swindle “Creep”
When it comes to house music I really obey my 5% – 95% rule meaning that you really have to dig through 95 “meh” tracks to find 5 tracks that are just magic. House can be such a disposable genre of music: tracks that sound like they took 5 minutes …
