MIMS Forgotten Treasures

Hand picked gems by the MIMS team rescued from dusty record bins.

Forgotten Treasure: Johnny Guitar Watson “Gangster of Love” (Live in 1977)

Damn. Now this is that real shit. I was looking for a JGW track to share with you and I found this awesome live performance (Germany, 1977). First off, the intro is absolutely bananas. Then the rest, well… you can see why...

Forgotten Treasure: Jeru the Damaja “Come Clean” (1993)

True golden era rap gold. My man FullRange made me think of this track just right now, so I had to remind you of the brilliance of this track. Now THIS my friends is hip-hop. You really think DRAKE could shine on this Dj Premie...

Forgotten Treasure: Akhenaton “Entrer dans le légende” (2001)

Ok, this is the very definition of a Forgotten Treasure (check out the rest of the series here) because the first reflex you have when listening to this is “is this a new Akhenaton track?”, “did IAM release ye...

Forgotten Treasure: Ghislain Poirier “Pampa Pimp” (2006)

Poirier is one of Montreal‘s biggest ambassadors of basslines, tropical riddims, lasers and foghorns. But he’s also one of the nicest dudes in the city who is always open to collaborate and share opportunities with ...

Forgotten Treasure: Tuff Jam “Feel My Love” (1997)

Holy gariiidge classic! This track is from ’97 a few years before I started playing UK Garage myself. Tuff Jam (Matt “Jam” Lamont and Karl “Tuff Enuff” Brown) were two of the most important people ...

Forgotten Treasure: The Return “New Day” (1999)

Ok, house heads. This one’s for you. I am letting you in on one of my favorite deep house tracks that every time time I play it there is always someone running up to the booth to ask me what the track is. This is just one...

Forgotten Treasure: Barry White “Ghetto Letto”

Yeah we all know our Barry White classics. Heavy Rotation on the Baby Makin’ tape no doubt. I wanted to propose another addition to that tape with this often overlooked track from his 1980 record called “Sheet Music...

Forgotten Treasure: Digable Planets “Nickel Bags”

Hmmm. Good ol’ Digable Planets… This was the third single off one of my favorite records of all-time “Reachin” (1993). After two records in 2 years and winning a Grammy for “Blowout Comb” in ...

Forgotten Treasure: Masters At Work “Our Time Is Coming”

I don’t have to tell you who the Masters At Work are do I? Louie Vega and Kenny Dope have been the godfathers of NYC House for about 20 years and are demigods to any self-respecting house head. Not to say that this track ...

Forgotten Treasure: Trio Ternura “A Gira” (1973)

Dj Tahira from Sao Paolo, Brazil came by my house this week and treated me (and you!) to a really great guest mix full of rare groove, soul and Brazilian music of course. (check out the mix here) He played a lot of jams that ha...

Forgotten Treasure: DND “Diamond Rings”

Hands down one of my favorite 2step tracks of all time. DND is a little more known for his jacking 4×4 Garage productions but this jam is definitely on every hard core 2step Garage head’s list.

Forgotten Treasure: Quasimoto “Rappcats”

Stone cold indie rap classic right here. Of course, this is a track from Lord Quas, the helium inflated MC created by Madlib. Such a dope video paying homage to some of the godfathers of RAP!
