Future Classic: Swarvy “Shadows Remixes”
Another month, another Swarvy beattape coming out. This one is full of remixes of his previous releases from all different producers. Some really dope tracks by the likes of Mndsgn , AshTreJinkins (19 year old producer that has already put out a lot of tapes in the piu piu world), …
Future Classic: Blacksmif “Turtle Gets A Shell”
If you’re into James Blake, Ifan Dafydd and other post-dubstep producers, then Blacksmif is definitely for you. With a distinctively soulful sound, Yemi Olagbaiye (of his real name) has been putting out a lot of quality material within the past year. Turtle Gets A Shell which I first heard through …
Future Classic: Kaytradamus “Kaytra LaBoom”
I spent the entire weekend working on this mixtape focused on the Montreal Beats scene in preparation of the much hyped ArtBeat Montreal #4 event featuring guests Mike Slott, Elaquent and Sunclef. As you’re gonna see on the mixtape there are tons of amazing up and coming producers from our …
Nifkin “Caught Me Red-Bearded EP”
When I clicked on the the first track of the Me Caught Red-Bearded EP called Twos n Five, I was destabilized a little. This EP is cooked with love with a fine balance of synths and drums. The kicks are very progressive and a melody of what we call in …
Future Classic: Dj Roc “Get Buck Juice”
Special Juke pick! I rarely talk about that kind of stuff because I find 95% unlistenable, like I want to throw my speakers out of my window or I think that my computer, needle or CD player is skipping because some of these tracks are just a bit nuts. But …
Future Classic: Halves “Stavrogin”
I love Halloween in Montreal but what comes after really sucks. We adjust time for that daylight savings thing and all of a sudden it’s dark at 4:30. Recently, I’ve attacked by those weird producers with that garage, post-dubstep sound. Starvrogin, is a producer from London who got signed by …
Future Classic: Teebs “Collections 01”
An absolutely outstanding new record from Teebs just in time for the beginning of what we like to call the winter blues in Montreal. The hours of sunlight in the day are getting ridiculously short, it’s dark at 4:30pm. Real depressing. On days like this, we stay inside drink warm …
Future Classic: B.Lewis & Xperiment “See-Saw Kids”
I’ve always loved B.Lewis and his synth driven beats. So I was happy to listen to this new beat tape called the “See-Saw Kids” with Xperiment. I don’t really know who does what on this between the two producers, but it’s in the same vein as previous B.Lewis production. The …
Future Classic: Mosca “The Wavey EP” (3024 Records)
Pretty dazzling EP from Mosca who is quickly becoming everyone’s IT producer in 2011! Deadly modern techno from one of the best! Dom Perignon’, a cavernous roller with a gravity inverting bass drum and dub-infused atmospherics – a nice locked-in groove. ‘Orange Jack’ , is a deep skeletal booty bass …
