Forgotten Treasure: The X-Ecutioners “The Turntablist Anthem” (1997)

That super familiar line, “Hey DJ won’t you play that song” has a source, and the other night I had a moment while watching a classic music video that took me back to an X-Ecutioners track. In my high school days, I remem...

Forgotten Treasure: Neptunes & Vanessa Marquez “Good Girl” (2003)

I could probably do a few forgotten treasures selections of my favorite overlooked productions from the Neptunes but I’ll stick to this one for now, although I need to do one on Mase’s “Lookin At Me”, th...

Forgotten Treasure: Gino Soccio “Who Dunnit?” (1982)

I love listening to Gino Soccio. If you want to get into Italo Disco but don’t know where to start, I’d say Gino Soccio should be one of the first thing you get your hands on. Fellow MIMS writer Matt Englund already highlig...

Forgotten Treasure: The Midnight Eez “Midnight Eez EP” (1995)

Every music nerd loves a good story about a rare record, a group that never got their due, a guy that bought a 20,000$ record for 50 cents or even the story this year that came out of this guy that bought a ton of J Dilla’...

Forgotten Treasure: Nightlife Unlimited “Peaches & Prunes” (Ron Hardy Edit)

This is a really funny one because we posted this years ago and I’ve been playing the track for ages now and I somehow got the titles of the A and B sides of the white label vinyl completely mixed up. We even played this ...

Forgotten Treasure: Shinehead “Try My Love” (1992)

If you’re a frequent visitor on MIMS and you know us a little bit then you probably know that we never take ourselves too seriously. We’re never too scared to make some borderline cheesy picks when it comes to forgo...

Forgotten Treasure: Sumy “Funkin In Your Mind”

Forgotten Treasure: Sumy “Funkin In Your Mind” (1982)

Sumy’s Funkin In Your Mind is a great funky throw back tune for all you smooth 80’s boogie lovers. And if you can’t really get on board with this beat, you most certainly can’t argue with the album cover- it’s absolut...
