Future Classic: Loe Pesci “DMT with Joe Rogan”
They don’t call him the King for nothing. Loe Pesci is an acclaimed King of the Dot Battle MC, one half of the Hip-Hop duo OG Hindu Kush, a Montreal Swag promoter, and of course a sick solo artist! Just over two weeks ago he dropped his new solo album …

Lexis’ Montreal Special on Lefto’s Radio Show (Belgium)
The homie LEFTO, one of the world best radio hosts and most eclectic tastemaker, asked up to put together a Montreal-only mix to showcase some of the best music that’s going on in the city these days. When I got asked to do this project by Lefto I knew it …
Future Classic: Kaytradamus “Kaytra Nada”
It’s no secret to our usual MIMS followers that young Kaytradamus is one of our favorite new producers around, and it just so happens that he’s from our hometown of Montreal. But make no mistake, we would be talking about him if he was from the Fiji Islands. Let’s face …
Sparkz “Jacques de la Jungle” (Sparkz resync)
Very nice little re-edit from the Montreal homie Sparkz. He’s a very quiet dude but the guy has one of the best batting averages out there. Average meaning, the number of stuff he sends me of his VS the number that I like. In fact, his batting average is almost …
Future Classic: Alaclair Ensemble “America” / “Dans l’South du Bas”
Although the guys Alaclair Ensemble have been our good homies for a long time they still manage to surprise us. All these guys have been doing music for a long time but it’s like the Alaclair project created the perfect storm of creativity and crazyness. And not to mention, pretty …
Forgotten Treasure: Bran Van 3000 “Drinking In L.A” (Dave One Remix feat. A-Trak)
An all-star, all-Montreal lineup on this hip-hop jam circa 1997. Not a big Bran Van 3000 fan myself, I came across this stunning remix about a year ago, when a record collector friend of mine hooked me up with this one as a part of a “100 vynils for 80$”-type …
Black Glovez ‘La Cypher’ ft. Aiza (Video)
Fun Fact: Lauryn Hill was 20yrs old when The Fugees’ The Score dropped. That really puts the idea of ‘young’ in perspective cause let’s be real those were definitely not some juvenile lyrics that she brought to the table. I guess it could be argued that Lauyrn Hill was some …
Guest Mixes: Artbeat Montreal Remembers J Dilla
I’m so mad I couldn’t attend last night’s Dilla tribute. Furious. Not only did I lose out on a bevy of gorgeous wimminz dancing the night away to BadBadNotGood’s shmooved-out stylings as well as MIMS-affiliates Scott C and Simahlak‘s impeccable drops, but I also missed a prime opportunity to hang …
Future Classic: Shash’u “4 Dilla”
Yeah in February for the past few years it’s been DILLA all day everyday. I think we would probably all get over it if the man didn’t have such a ridiculous catalog of production. Even as a Dilla head, when you think you know everything an unreleased nugget surfaces (like …
Monk.E & Sola “Voir ton Soul” Production by Kenlo (Video)
Montreal you don’t stop! Seriously I’m getting artistic seizures from all the treasures coming out of this city. Monk.E, the well-known Montreal visual artist and MC just dropped an amazing new video “Voir ton soul” produced by Ken-Lo, featuring Sola, and captured by Cemont Films. This beautiful love ballad is …
