I’ve been playing “Wake Ups’ the first leak from this record for a little while now. Lots of people have asked me for track IDs at some of our events, so here it is… Salva‘s first LP and it’s a doooope one! “Versatile debut album from San Franciscan lynchpin, Salva. …

Future Classic: Dibiase “Sound Palace”
Nowadays it’s easy to get lost in the sea of “beat” producers. Seems there are 10 new producers putting out beat tapes so it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the generic stuff from the real shit. Fortunately, with Dibia$e it’s not too difficult. The LA (yes, another dope dude from LA) producer …
Future Classic: Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX “Home”

Future Classic: U-N-I “Donkey Kong” (Produced by Dibia$e)
I’m always a sucker for a good Super Nintendo 8bit beat every now and then… I don’t know all that much about U-N-I other than they are from Inglewood, California. I do however keep close tabs on DIBIA$E productions. He’s another one of those ridiculously talented Los Angeles guys. Seriously, …
Future Classic: Wagon Christ “Manalyze this”
I don’t have to tell you how much I am excited for this new release. I am such a Luke Vibert groupie. Always loved everything he does under his multiple aliases: Kerrier District, Ace of Clubs, Plug, and in this case Wagon Christ. “The one and only Luke Vibert returns …
