Future Classic: Agua Negra “Volvi”
When I think of my people, I can’t help but feel that swell in my chest that only comes with blatant Latin Pride. I made a point of bringing that flavor over to MIMS in my articles on Crema Púrpura, Willie Colón and Johnny Illdigger’s Argentina mix. Latin music has …
Guest Mix #09: BOWLY (Montreal)
Brand new MIMS Guest mix and this one is from our very good homie BOWLY, a great producer and DJ from Montreal (by way of la France). Bowly is a member of the ESL Crew, along with Bus and Skinnybones arguably the most important crew in Montreal in terms of …
The Narcicyst “Falling Down”
Memories don’t leave like people do. No matter where Yassin Alsalman (better known as The Narcicyst) winds up, he’ll forever remain Montreal’s favorite son when it comes to this rap shit. The song and video to Falling Down serve as an examination of friendship and how that bond is often …
Tommy Kruise “Memphis Confidential Vol. 1”
The most pleasant surprises always come out of left field. When I first met Tommy Kruise, I knew him on a street level as a degenerate skater and All-City Chilleur. Never could I have imagined he’d be at the forefront of a movement in the musical realm. Let it be …

Happy 10th Anniversary to THE GOODS!
Today Montreal’s beloved GOODS monthly night turn 10. And in nightlife years, that’s the equivalent of about 50. Before we even talk about the level of quality that the night has maintained let’s bow down to the fact they’ve been doing it for 10 years which is already an achievement …
Future Classic: EMAN & VLooper “E.M.M.A.N.U.E.L”
We are not the kind of website that posts about a record 5 minutes after getting the info about a new release. We like to let the music sink in and actually, you know, listen to it a few times? But in this case, we started working on it as …
Future Classic: Nomadic Massive “SUPAFAM” Mixtape
Holy Smokes, where do I begin?! Well first off the concept is genius. Anyone who’s ever seen Nomadic Massive live knows that they roll deep in Supafam from actual members to local associations to international connections to die-hard devotees. Playing tribute to that element of their appeal was a wonderful …
