Future Classic: Letherette “Letherette” (Ninja Tune)
Ever since we discovered them on a pair of EP’s on Ho_Tep Records (affiliated with Eglo) we’ve been madly in love with Letherette‘s work. The duo’s productions sounds like bits and pieces of a ton of different influences (Onra, Luke Vibert, Todd Edwards, Thomas Banghalter, Modeselektor) but the sum of …
Future Classic: L’Orange “Speakeasy”
Perhaps it’s the crackles and hiss, the sway and the swagger, or the lunge and the lean, that make this track stand out. Perhaps it’s the loving use of film noir dialogue that brings the imagination into a familiar but distant environment. Perhaps it’s the moody atmosphere and its abrupt …
Future Classic: Levon Vincent “Specks Jam”
This was one of the very last cuts that got left out of our last MIMS Show but I kind of regret it now. Let’s be honest though, this track will probably find its way on one our mixes at some point as it is indeed a “future classic“. You regular …
Future Classic: Lion Babe “Treat Me Like Fire”
Every time we put out one of our MIMS Radio Shows, we always like to ask people what their favorite discoveries were. So after our #61 show (link) a few people answered that they loved Lion Babe’s “Treat Me Like Fire” so we figured we’d share it as a “future …
Future Classic: Submerse “Algorithms and Ghosts”
First things first. I must apologize because I misled you dear readers in a previous post about Submerse‘s Tears EP. After some inquiring, I found out that Submerse is English but lives in Japan. That make some sense since the sound on this EP makes me think of another sweet record …
Future Classic: Med x Blu x Rose x Madlib “Burgundy Whip”
Madlib has been pumping out some incredibly dope beats lately and the latest is a smooth track for Blu and M.E.D that makes spring come early and just makes me want to rent a convertible and bump it all the way to a sunny beach somewhere in Cali. Rolling drumlines …
Future Classic: Menahan Street Band “The Crossing”
Brooklyn-based collective Menahan Street Band hit the scene with their first release Make the Road by Walking on Daptone subsidiary Dunham records in 2008. It’s eponymous single made waves as it was sampled by Jay-Z (RocBoys) but the album was an amazing collection of afrobeat,funk and ethio-jazz compositions that had …
Future Classic: Bakey Ustl “A Tender Place / Nose Candy”
The first time I heard A Tender Place, I was just waiting for the change up to happen, or for something to break in the song and the more I waited, the more avant-garde the song became. I didn’t know what to expect next, if the track would pick up …
Future Classic: Big L “Put It On” (Nicky Lars RMX)
Top notch remix from French producer Nicky Lars who tackled a tough one with Big L’s “Put it on”, his first official single released in 1994 produced by the mighty Buckwild. Well, let’s just say he did justice to the track and Big L’s short but powerful legacy. The remix …
