Future Classic: Ron Richardson “Ooh Wee Babe” (Frankfurt Fonk Remix)
Back at it for another Voyage Funktastique chronicle, with this week’s featured producer, hailing from Germany; Frankfurt Funk/Chris Neal. I started the show with his latest collab (with Gila Funk) – Summer Madness, but I really want to showcase his remix of a forgotten treasure; Ooh Wee Babe by Ron …
Future Classic: Matthewdavid “In My World”
Signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, Matthewdavid is one of the upcoming beatmakers that I’ve been paying attention to as of recent, and about a week ago, he released an eclectic new album called “In My World.” Out of the tracks from the album, the self-titled track caught my ear …
Future Classic: Alaclair Ensemble “Toute Est Impossible”
The Alaclair Ensemble boys are back with their 3rd record titled “Toute Est Impossible” (Everything is impossible). As you know, here at MIMS we don’t do “music reviews” per say. We’d rather spend our energy talking about the records we truly love instead of those we think are one or …
Future Classic: Temu “Body Move” (Magic & Sorcery Stankafied)
Since the beginning of the Voyage Funktastique show, I’ve been emphasizing on playing different songs in each show, in order to give each producer some visibility, and show them my appreciation to their work. Of course, there’s some songs that I would like to play more than once, and for …
Future Classic: Lee Webster “Detroit Cheeky Things”
Other than too much commentary about his mighty member and describing himself as a heavenly creature who makes, “vagina music,” there is very little information floating around the interwebs about this German producer.

Future Classic: Dabeull “Don’t Stop”
In last week’s Voyage Funktastique radio show, I was blessed with a new jingle/theme song, produced by Dabeull, a French producer from Paris. In this week’s episode (presenting a guest mix by my homie Eddie Pendregrass), I featured two of Dabeull’ songs, including Don’t Stop feat Michael Tee. The production is …
Future Classic: IshDARR “They Lost Me”
There is no denying the comeback of the early 90’s sound in music and hip hop is no exception. The 17 year old emcee from Milwaukee, IshDARR, embody’s that sound perfectly on this track. His nice delivery combined with a soulful jazzy beat brings us back to what most people …
Future Classic: Diamond Ortiz “Calling All Squares”
For this week’s Voyage Funktastique show, I had a special guest in the studio: Scott C of The Goods collective in Montreal. On my part of the show, I absolutely wanted to play the latest release on MoFunk Records by Diamond Ortiz. I just received 2 copies of his 45, …
