Future Classic: Cliché. “3 quarters for a dollar, Vol.3”
I already talked about Cliché this summer but a new volume of his 3 quarters for a dollar series came out not too long ago. It’s an interesting step up from previous work. The swing of the beats (groove or shuffle or what you like to call it) setting is …
Future Classic: Deft “Before Vol. 1”
I am constantly looking for new tracks and artists. I think its not only necessary to collect, but to listen to new sounds. It’s good for my mind because there are always new things to listen and new musical trips to embark upon. I stumbled on Deft, a crazy beatmaker …
Future Classic: Salva “Yellobone” EP (+ Remixes from Shlohmo & LOL Boys)
No offense but I get so many links for promos falling the whole “future” beats umbrella. And as much as I really like that sort of thing, it’s very rapidly starting to get on my nerves. Way too many tracks that sound like they were made in 5 minutes, add …
Future Classic: Kid Koala “Space Cadet” Book + CD
Perfect addition to a chilly Sunday morning in Montreal! “Can you believe it’s been 8+ years since Kid Koala debuted his graphic novel skills on Nufonia Must Fall? Man, time flies!

Future Classic: Evenings “Lately EP”
With Broasddus Nathan aka Evenings, it was love at first sight. I think that at this time of the year in Montreal, music is even more necessary than usual because, as I often say in my articles, the fall does not suit me well. I’m like a wilted flower that …
Future Classic: Ta-Ku “September”
Well .. I know we are in October, but I found this very nice project by Ta-Ku. He said “I will be making a beat a day in September 2011 and uploading here. Take a listen.” He didn’t make it all the way but we can only image what could …
Future Classic: Kendrick Lamar “Rigamortis”
Whenever I hear so much hype about an artist I usually take a bit of time and let some time pass before I sit down and listen to it. I finally gave Kendrick Lamar a shot this week and listened to his record called “Section 80” a couple times. I …
